  1. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not crazy about the lack of ability to edit. I need to edit my contractions at times as I will accidentally leave the timer running or start it too late and it doesn’t allow for this without glitching. It also I believe has it set to military time. I can’t edit that

  2. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Must pay for the app to be useful. Can't delete contractions unless you pay

  3. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Uncomfortable. When opening this app I saw there were ads at the bottom. One of the ads I saw was particularly strange as it had grown women’s bodies modeling by for tight dresses and clothing. Right next to these photos was a simple photo of what looked like a young child modeling their own clothing as well. Having them all displayed in a single ad It looked very weird and predatory.

  4. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Predatory Subscription. Weekly 2.99 subscription when you are in active labor feels predatory, highly recommend looking elsewhere. This is a company where preying on people who are in a trying time in their life.

  5. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Difficult to cancel subscription. This app worked perfectly but when I had my baby and went to cancel what is a weekly subscription fee, I found nowhere to do so aside from emailing the support team. Hopefully they respond in a timely manner but it feels like a very shady business practice.

  6. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Creepy adds. Immediately after opening this app there were creepy adds of little girls. Disgusted.

  7. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Use with caution. Please use this app for your own discretion me and my wife has used the app the last 3 times it has told us to go to the hospital and every time it has said that no dice and we’ve wasted trips to the hospital cause the app tells us we’re ready when we’re not in fact ready

  8. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Get distracted by ads during labor!. It’s a timer. Some things should just be free. Stop asking me for a premium subscription for a timer. Stop popping up with uncloseable ads as soon as contractions end. Download this app if you want your labor experience to be worse!

  9. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Ads during labor!. Seriously? An ad that I can’t close out of while I’m actively laboring? So stupid

  10. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Too many paid features. The free version doesn’t let you delete a single contraction. You have to delete all of the data if you make a mistake. I switched to the free one on the Ovia app and it lets you delete individual contractions.

  11. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Can’t unsubscribe. The app won’t stop charging me. Very hard to unsubscribe

  12. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Not good experience during labor. Do you want to install an app during a critical time in labor that requires 10 steps of onboarding and then hits you with a paywall when you try to do something simple like delete a test contraction? Then this is the app for you! There shouldn’t even be a free version if this is how you make it. What an awful thing to do to people during one of the most critical moments in life. Disgusting.

  13. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    In in the middle of a contraction, I do not want to be asked to review an app. !!

  14. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Won’t allow me to restore my purchase. I already paid for this several pregnancies ago and when I went to download it from my most recent pregnancy now it’s trying to make me pay for it again, even though I already purchased the full version years ago.

  15. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Costs money. Costs money

  16. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Charging new mothers. I don’t appreciate how you are all charging new moms for such a basic and simple app. New moms already have a lot on our shoulders I didn’t expect to be charged so much at such a vulnerable time. Feels very greedy.

  17. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Free version is intentionally glitchy with paywall to upgrade. Free version is intentionally glitchy with paywall to upgrade . Every time you try and add / edit a contraction it prompts you to upgrade.

  18. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Paid for full access, unable to use. I purchased the full version a couple years ago but no longer have access to it. I have emailed support twice with proof/receipt of purchase and received no response. Apple will not refund.

  19. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Seriously stay away. The fact that you have to pay for the full version after SIX contractions and then it doesn’t even work? Unbelievable. Way to take advantage of people while they should be focusing on such an important time.

  20. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Timing not so great!. Whyyyy would you choose when someone is in the thick of labor to ask if they like the app and then continue to ask. WTH!!!

  21. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Trash. The app is garbage and full of obnoxious upsell tactics. Stay far away.

  22. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    False Advertising. Paid the extra money to get the Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets and they don’t exist.

  23. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Absolutely livid. I just paid 6 bucks for an app with total false advertising. The most recent update (4 months ago) said that there is a Lock Screen widget available for premium users. Okay cool. It’s only 3 bucks for the premium version. Unless I’m tech illiterate (I’m not), there’s no Lock Screen widget available. Or even Home Screen widget. Oookkaayyyy… come back to the App Store page and there’s a separate $2.99 purchase for the “full version.” Whatever. I’ll bite. Nope. Nothing. No widgets anywhere to be seen. I want my money back.

  24. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Button doesn’t sync with starting and stopping. iPhone 18. I tracked one contraction that lasted about a minute then hit “end” and it logged the contraction as ended. Then when I went back to the app 10 minutes later for my next contraction, the first contraction had never stopped tracking so I had a 10 minute contraction logged. My next contraction only lasted about 20 seconds and when I hit end, the button changed color but the timer kept going up. There was no way to stop the timer because the button had already reset to “start contraction.” Basically this app is unusable and I regret spending the money on it (I had to pay before I could try it, it says there is a premium version but as far as I can tell there is no “non-premium version, you have to pay to open it for the first time).

  25. ★★★★search fails to find what is needed

    I'm unable to cancel.. I only chose a one time fee and was charged it again. I can't find anywhere on the site to cancel.

  26. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Do not get!. Chose this app because side it says it has a live widget option, yet I purchased the premium version “Timer Plus” for 5 bucks and there is NOT a live widget.

  27. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Cant do anything but press a button. Every button i press except the “contractions” you need a subscription and its so annoying. Its my first pregnancy so i dont know when my contractions end, and this app doesnt help at all

  28. ★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    App is broken. Bought this while going into labor and it literally did not work. It wasn’t registering contraction duration or frequency correctly using the simple start/stop button. If I wasn’t having my third baby I’m not sure I would have noticed. DO NOT PURCHASE! I want my money back!

  29. ★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Allow editing if I made mistakes. Essential feature is missing (see title) and they flood you with ads and disclaimers.

  30. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Not free. App requires payment to use. Other apps such as BabyCenter do not.
