Contraction Timer

So easy to use, I wanted to labor at home as long as possible- once contractions started they were 4 minutes apart and I was able to keep track easily through to 2-3 minutes apart and got to the hospital at 9.5cm dilated. Simple and straightforward, much needed during such an intense time!

I wish I could get an option for the times to go from top to bottom as well as bottom to top. Also an option so we can see the contractions on one page on your screen and an option to save the pictures for our birth albums would be my suggestions.

Omg, this app was super helpful. I hate timing my contractions, and there's just so much distractions. This app does all the hard work for you while you just breathe and focus on your body. :)

Fantastic, so simple and easy to use and helped so much! No havn't to try and keep track of/write down times+lengths of painful contractions when you're panicked and busy, just start+stop! :)

Exactly what we needed. As a partner to my wife and for my wife to use when I wasn't around. Being able to time the contractions and monitor the intervals was a huge importance the to birth of our child. Note, you can minimise the interval timer by pinching the time line. I changed this to 10 minutes. Good Luck, and Congratulations!!

This was so helpful and amazing. Didn't realize my water had broken but luckily was able to keep track of contractions with this super handy app which tipped me off to contacting the hospital and going in. I definitely recommend downloading this.

The app served its purpose well. It was so much easier than trying to use a watch or stopwatch to keep track of my contractions. It clearly shows the contraction pattern, and I really like how it automatically showed how much time had passed between each. I was pleased with the app for the short time that I needed it.

This app was very convenient during my labor. You can edit your contractions if you mess up or click the button too soon.

I'm loving this app. It opens really fast, pushing "play" when the contraction starts is easy, no hassle. It shows duration and intervals between contractions. Just what you need!

Just had my sweet baby girl and used this for the contractions the day before my water broke. Truly easy to use, such a relief that it did a lot of the work for me.

Used this app last month when I was being induced with my daughter. Helped me to keep track of the lengh and frequency of my contractions and therefore was able to tell the midwives when I was ready to go down to the labour ward. Definitely recommend

This app was super easy to use and helped me to keep track of my early Labour contractions and report to the midwives. Took away the hassle of having to keep paper and pen and track it myself.

I tried out this app and used a stop watch too. The start stop function works out fine but I don't understand the minutes apart bit. As I made a minute between and it said 2.20 so I did 10 seconds between stop and start but said it was 40 seconds. So not reliable in the slightest unless I just don't know how it works

Super easy to use. Super simple. I could be hunched over focused on my breathing. But still be able to use this and count where I was at. Very very useful

This app was precise with helping me track contractions, reporting to midwives, and when to go to hospital, without having to focus on a watch. It helped when to expect the next one and see pattern to judge what to do. There is no time for messing about on paper or in your head! It saves you being in hospital too long. I was 9cm dilated when I arrived.

This app is simple and intuitive. It has everything you need in exactly the right spot. As a partner you don't have time to be fiddling around trying to understand the information on a complex screen like other apps offer. This app is straight and to the point. I'm glad I switched to it before things really took off. The notification is great for the surprise attack contractions too.

This app was so helpful. I just had to push start and stop. No need to write down times or go back and figure duration and interval time frames. It was perfect to illustrate the frequency of my contractions to my doctor and really helped me decide when to go to the hospital.

A great app - using it to time the early contractions of our 2nd child. Simple to use and a great UI to boot. Two minor suggestions: let me add manual entries (for those times when the phone is just out of reach) and show the average duration/interval values for a quick summary!

I wish I could get an option for the times to go from top to bottom as well as bottom to top. Also an option so we can see the contractions on one page on your screen and an option to save the pictures for our birth albums would be my suggestions.

Does what it's supposed to without any extra gimmicks. A couple suggestions: 1) Allow the recording to function on locked screen itself. 2) display the average duration of contractions within the last hour to measure against the 5-1-1 rule.

Everything about this app was perfect. From ease of learning and use to functionality. I didn't feel like it was missing any features I'd have wanted and it had some I loved, but wouldn't have thought of. I downloaded it when my wife started her birthing and there was no time required to understand the basic features and about a minute of exploring to find the little goodies that made it even better. Thank you for a great and free app!

Baby came 10 days early. Doc told me earlier the week before not to expect our little one early so when I was having increased pain I thought it must be Braxton hicks labor or early labor. Had I not downloaded this app, I probably wouldn't have seen that the pains were 5 min or less apart and lasting between 30 sec and a min 30. Called the doc and went in @ 6cm and had baby girl that evening.

My wife originally dismissed using an app to record contractions, but wound up begging for the phone when she used this app. Nice simple interface and summary statistics that allow you to assess progress.

Very clear and easy to use. No ads which is nice. Only thing to improve is to make it clearer that "interval" means total cycle time, not just the gaps between contractions. Took a while to realise this!

I only used this app once (in the first phase of labor) however, it was very easy to use even when you're in pain! It is simplified, you start the timer when you feel the wave of the contraction hit you, you see the times of each contractions and how long they lasted so you know when it's time to go. At the top of the list is your most recent contraction. Loved it.

There is enough for us moms (and dads) to remember and during contractions time blurs... thus this app is helpful in being able to time contractions. I used it with both of my kids. Thanks so much for making one thing easier!

Simple to use and easy through the pain. Used it for the entire duration of my 32 hour labour. My labour never established a steady timing but was able to know when to go based on this app!

Downloaded this app at the last minute. Needed to time my contractions in order to know when to go back to the hospital. This app did the job without a bunch of stuff to figure out.

Omg, this app was super helpful. I hate timing my contractions, and there's just so much distractions. This app does all the hard work for you while you just breathe and focus on your body. :)

Does everything you need with a simple straight forward interface, including edits and a nice visual display of the last two hours of contractions. Made me look like a birthing pro with our first child's labor.

It works just fine... But I'll say one thing... If you're using it you're probably not in established labour! Once I got properly started I didn't want to be doing with it anymore. Seems to be the best way to tell. Your contractions can be 5 mins apart right from the beginning. It was when I was getting impatient with people asking me questions that I knew I was right to be phoning the hospital. Then again, some people pop their babas out really quick whereas my labour was a 36 hour odyssey.

I was unsure if I had to go to hospital after waking up with contractions. Used this app to time my pain for an hour and sure enough my contractions were less than 5 minutes apart. Threw my hospital bags into the car and made it in time to the delivery room to give birth an hour later. This app was a life saver!

Super easy to use. Super simple. I could be hunched over focused on my breathing. But still be able to use this and count where I was at. Very very useful

The easy editability made this app stand a cut above the rest. It was easy to see the trajectory contractions were taking via the visual markers and avoided confusion caused by timers that just kept a running average of frequency and duration. Seriously, Contraction Timer's top bar made it super easy to know where timings stood whereas the timer our doula used could spit out a skewed average and hid any editabilty behind three other menues. Pick this one up!

I used this while my husband was driving me to the hospital with contractions 2 and 3 min apart. It was so helpful and fun to go back and look at post delivery. I am using this now for baby #3. I've tried a few contraction aps and this is by far my favorite.

Thank you so much fir a fantastic app, timing my contractions helped me to stay calm and focused during labour, a great way to get you to the middle (hardest) part of the contraction, knowing from that point the pain eases x

i like the simple design.. easy to start &stop.. no fuss and can clearly see the contraction timings. currently using the app now for feeding, just adding in the comments for more info.

This app was perfect for timing my wife's contractions! Simple and easy to use, with no fuss or funky options ads that get in the way. If you want to have an app to time contractions when you are in labor, I cannot recommend this one enough.

The only possible improvement I would strongly suggest is a desktop widget for quick access. And the ability to click "sleep". So that large gaps are quickly recorded as such. Also some form of graph/chart summary which can be viewed as a picture would be cool. Although the timeline covers this to some degree.

I've used it for my two false alarms - my husband timed for me, but this is so simple I can even do it myself while having contractions.
