An editorial reading of the saved reviews
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.

What users experience
1 excerpt from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.
It is very frustrating that this app doesn’t allow you to alter or edit a contraction unless you pay for the app. It’s easy to get distracted and you mess up one timing because you forget to turn off the timer and your numbers are all skewed.
