2/5Try a different app...
Mom of soon to be 7- Ease of quick tapping the start/stop is nice but there is so much randomness on the screen that you can only see a few of your recent contractions at once. Instead at least a quarter of the screen is unneeded adds for other apps. Plus extra screen area taken up by a weird non-useful space consuming graph at the top. If you get a semi slow start to tapping the start button you can't roll it back by a few seconds, you have to go back an entire minute, which throws off the closest bit of accuracy. There are other apps that focus more on showing your contractions and even have additional screen options to use for things like graphs (that are useful) and extras. Pick one of those and save yourself the frustration. No mommy in labor wants frustrating add and gunk. Get ease of timing elsewhere!

4/5Good, but Need access from Lock Screen
So this simplicity of the interface is really nice. You can time the contractions easily while your brain is so preoccupied. The basic design is simple and solid. The fact that you can edit later is good for when you have one you weren’t able to track. The two big disadvantages are 1) asking you to rate the app while in labor. Please no. A push notification a few days later would be fine. 2) I was only able to use this with my phone unlocked. If there is a way to do this from the Lock Screen, I was not able to find it. So I had to change my settings to have the screen never lock. Fortunately, I had a full battery when my labor started and I could do that, but I could have put myself in a really bad position if I had drained my phone timing contractions and been unable to call my husband and initiate go-time due to failing battery.

5/5Going 3 pregnancies strong!
This contortion timer is the best one out there for free. I’ve tried others but stuck to this one for my past 3 pregnancies. Other free apps don’t allow you to edit the contractions afterwords, so if you’re experiencing a strong one and can’t get to the phone right away, your calculations will be thrown off. Sometimes it does glitch out when you try to edit a contraction or the time counting is inaccurate until you stop it, but exiting and reopening the app does the trick. Only thing missing from this app is a dark mode. Also a widget would be nice to be able to use the watch or right form thr phone’s home screen! Thank you!! 😊

5/5Very useful in high stress situation
I gave birth two years ago. I clearly remember starting to feel the contractions, and I immediately open the app which I had already downloaded. It helped me stay calm throughout the initial contractions. And also helped my husband not feel the pressure of counting the minutes. I wanted to wait until they were the necessary time apart before heading to the hospital. So this app was tremendous help for me once they were a minute apart I headed to the hospital and was right on time to be admitted. I kept the app to remember how it felt. However, I just updated it today and it deleted all my previous data. So I will be deleting it now sadly.

4/5Add to lock screen or Control Center
I am a super new user for this app and I like the simplicity of the app design and layout. It would be awesome to have this app at the ready on either at the Lock Screen or Control Center pull down menu for iPhone! I understand that with the watch on it’s a quicker route to access but it’s something that I don’t have on 24/7 or at the ready like my iPhone device. Just a suggestion 😊! I had a contraction this morning and used another app to track it as I had not yet found this app and I realized that I had to go through so many steps to get to the tracker and that’s why I downloaded this app. I like that I can take the information from the other app and add it to this app for accurate tracking in the future.
