It’s okay. The app worked great when we needed it. We no longer need it so I deleted it, but it keeps reappearing on my phone no matter how many times I delete it.

Watch App doesn’t work. Looked like a great app, but it doesn’t save any recordings from the watch.
- ★★★★★privacy and excessive permissions
Glitchy. It’s completely worthless as soon as it glitches and ruins your entire data collection. It says Apple Watch compatible but the watch app doesn’t always work when you hit the start/stop button. The interface could also be more pleasant to look at.

Ads during labor. Are you kidding me?! Ads when I’m trying to time contractions? So angry
- ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors
Caused Phone to Repeatedly Crash. I thought my phone was failing--I had constant reboots and battery failures. I ended up wiping my entire phone and reinstalling everything. My phone was fine until I installed this app, and then the repeated reboots started again. Something is wrong with this app. Now that I've deleted it and rebooted, my phone is fine.

Shame on Similac. Im pregnant with my second child & was looking around for a great contraction timer & downloaded this one, as it seemed to be the most simple. Unfortunately whenever I opened the app, the Similac Strong Moms ad popped up. Immediately deleted the app. Similac & other formula companies seem to be finding any nook or cranny to force their terrible marketing tactics on new, vulnerable mothers. The fact that this app is sponsored by Similac is shameful. Trying to get mothers to sign up for their free samples and programs that DO NOT support breastfeeding in any way is undermining a woman's natural ability to nourish her child from her own body. It's subconsciously telling them that they won't be able to breastfeed & that formula is just as good. (Formula is a great tool for the 5% of women in the world who truly are unable to produce milk.) GO AWAY SIMILAC!

Won't download and can't delete app to reinstall. I was excited to use this app because the preview looked great. It won't download completely and when I try to delete it, it won't go away. When I turn restart my phone, still no changes. I basically paid for an app I can't use and also can't get rid off. Can't find help anywhere with this either! I'm annoyed and very disappointed!

If it worked. When I first downloaded it I really liked it. Since then whenever I open it it blacks out and closes. Useless.

Better have a backup timer ready. I tried to use this app to track my contractions, and unfortunately when I clicked on the option to add some more detail info regarding one of the contractions, I got stuck on that detail page and was not able to return to the page where I could add new contractions. My husband couldn't find a way to return to the page to add contractions either. So, I discovered while I was in labor that the app was useless to me. I did not have another app downloaded, so I ended up having to just track my contractions by writing them down. Very frustrating. If you decide to use this app I strongly recommend you have a second app on deck just in case.

Can't get rid of ads. Paid the $0.99 for ad removal but they're not removed.
- ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience
Not great first impression. You can't even read the whole page of information. It stops scrolling a little more than half way. The ads are constant and in a very impractical location and can't be relocated by the user :/ kind of defeats the whole app.
- ★★★★★a needed feature is missing
Timer. I can't see why everyone gives this app 5 stars. It may be good for other needs, but the timer isn't good enough when you are actually in labor. I don't need a line chart, I want a list of times that I can go back and edit because I made a mistake while my wife was screaming and I was cleaning up vomit! Too much room for error when contractions are close together, had to go back to pen and paper.

Decent App, Needs Watch Shortfut. I’d like to time my contractions from the home screen of my watch, or at the very least have quick access to the app from the home screen. Navigating to the app on the watch is pretty annoying, especially when you’re having a contraction and concerned about timing it accurately.

I can’t figure out how to email. I believe this app has the ability to email contraction history, but I can’t seem to find the feature? Please help!

Apple Watch. Works great on phone but not so much on the watch. Starts and stops when it wants to.
- ★★★★★slow performance and long loading times
Cool app!. Cool app to use to monitor and record you're contractions. The reason why I'm giving it a 3 star rating and not 5 is because I use this app on my Apple Watch Series 1 and it is ALWAYS slow at starting up. I can press the 'start' button 8 times before it actually starts to work and by the time it does start my contraction has passed. I'm not quite sure if it's my watch that's slow or the app, however, I don't have this issue with any other apps. Aside from the slowness, it's a fabulous app! I show my doctor at every visit and it helps him gain further insight into my pregnancy.
- ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears
Keep searching. Not great for timing contractions. Can't delete older entries which messes up your average, especially since u don't want to time every single one.
- ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific
Apple Watch feature needs work. I like the app itself very much. The main reason I chose it was for the Apple Watch feature and that is lacking. Sometimes it takes 15 secs to register a start or stop. Other times I will have stopped it, only to lift my wrist and see it's started again on its own. A bit frustrating.

Great for timing contractions but.... The reason I downloaded the app in the first place was to time contractions, however, I decided to check out the other functions of the app including the "reference" section and was really annoyed that when reading an article if there is more of the article then fits on one page it will not allow you to scroll down to read the rest of the article. This seems like a really dumb thing to not have work. Fix that and I will update my review.

IWatch issues. I downloaded this app because I needed to be able to keep track of contractions on my iWatch. However, the contractions last long enough that the watch screen is bound to sleep (either by rotating it or by being still too long). Once it's woken, the contraction has to be "started" again and no record of what should have been recording ever shows on the phone [app]. Additionally, if it takes too long to find the phone to start the contraction timer, you can't edit the time backwards to show less of a duration between that contraction and the previous one. This screws up the average frequency and makes the whole process seem pointless.

Using for Braxton Hicks. I have frequent Braxton Hicks and am using this app to track them on some days when they seem more frequent / pronounced. Just wish the graph showing frequency had the option to start anew each day, otherwise I have to wait for 10 contractions so they begin graphing with The right scale.

Loving the kick counter, but.... Unfortunately, I’m not to a place where I can judge the contraction timer, but I can say that the kick counter is a huge help! I love the daily reminder so I can stop and do what needs to be done. My only complaint is that the kick counter is not on the Apple Watch app.

Excelente aplicación!!. Esta aplicación es simple, eficiente y sin contratiempo.
- ★★★★★clear and easy workflow
Worked nicely. We pulled this down from the App Store while my wife was in active labor. My only real complaint was that it not immediately intuitive on how to use the app. It took us a few contractions to figure out how to use it correctly, but once we did it was great for explaining to the L&D nursing staff when we went into the hospital.
- ★★★★★clear and easy workflow
Tracking Kicks. Good app. Easy to use and quick to learn. Two things I will adjust, the hand stop sometimes doesn’t not work right away and have to tap a few times to stop counting kicks. The other will be to have an average of how many times the baby kicks.

Loading screen. Works well, runs slow while loading
