Contraction Timer & Counter 9m

doubtful rating

At its core it does the main job well: it times contractions accurately and tells you when to head to the hospital, and it is simple. But monetization at the worst moment ruins it: you cannot edit a contraction without paying, full screen ads pop up between contractions, and a weekly subscription mid labor feels like preying on the vulnerable. There are also complaints about inappropriate, disturbing ads.

About the rating

Notable gap: 4.79 store versus 3.2 textAvg and 45 percent five stars. The text is specific (paid contraction editing, full screen ads between contractions, hospital alert), and the upward skew of the average is suspicious.
