User Reviews for Contraction Monitor

Loss of data mid labor

App only stores 20 contractions, then makes you upgrade to keep records of more. Problem is, this really only happens mid labor (when you don't need surprises) and it doesn't transfer the data to the paid version.... Which means all you data is disconnected and might as well be deleted anyway. But, in the throws of labor, you don't know this, so you just pay to upgrade and then you realize your data starts over. I'm sure they list it somewhere, but seemed like a bait and switch to me.If the data transferred with the upgrade and they made it more clear that you have to upgrade to go passed 20, it would have had 5 stars, in my opinion.

Just plain cruel.

Great app concept. It really is. HOWEVER, in this free option the company does not tell you that you are limited to 20 contractions. I should have read reviews before downloading, but they should also put that in the description. This is a great app with a horrid, sneaky marketing strategy. Contractions and labor are not the time to try and trick someone into purchasing an app after 20 contractions. I will not purchase the non-trial version of this app on principal. Even though it is the one I like the most and have found easiest to use. Tell people this is a trial!!! Really cruel way to reel users in. And looking at other comments/reviews, I am not alone. Way to ruin a solid service with horrible marketing strategies.

Do not buy - find another

I was absolutely infuriated to find that in the middle of very active labor, you can only track 20 contractions with the free version of this app. I refused to upgrade out of pure morals that someone would sell a product this way. My husband, however, didn't feel like dealing with learning a new app and things were moving so fast we needed to continue to track how close the contractions were. If sold in a legit way, I would have probably spent more than $1.00 in the first place... But seriously. Buy another app just out of principle... Do not buy this app.

Works as expected!

I downloaded this when my wife woke me up with contractions before the birth of our first child. The app worked great and was just what I needed. It informed me that her contractions were getting closer and closer (4mins when I started 3 when we left for the hospital). The only negative and the reason it wasn't five stars was that after 20 contractions it told me I had to buy it the app for 0.99$ if I wanted to continue (this is an obnoxious time to force me into an app purchase). I did not need to buy the app because it was pretty obvious that labor had started. When we arrived at the hospital, my wife was 5 centimeters and our daughter arrived 4 hours later.

Useless

Please know that this app only records data for 20 contractions, which is of no use for any normal birthing process. After 20 contractions, it tells you it's maxed out and asks if you wish to upgrade to the pay version. The app itself is okay, but I don't appreciate such poor business practices and would have liked a little more disclosure about this massive shortcoming related to the free version. It also should be noted that once / if you upgrade to the pay version, NONE of the previously recorded data transfers over from the free version . . . at potentially one of the most critical times of your life. I wish I had known that.

Surprise limit

Very useful, but you don't find out until you get there that it will only record 20 contractions. Not even after you've recorded the 20th, but as you try to record the 21st. Definitely not a nice surprise for a woman in labor. The limit is fair enough, but wish it was stated somewhere up front. I might have bought the full version if I had known in advance, but not while I was in labor! Aside from that, I thought it was a nice app. Not planning on another baby, but if we were I'd probably use the app again.

Caution, do not use this app!

This app is a vicious con. My wife was in labor and as soon as it got really stressful and I was talking to the doctor, the app hit the limit on number of contractions and required a purchase to continue. This is a common app swindle, but this one puts the mother and the baby at risk. The data you've logged is lost when you download the full version. Avoid this company that uses absolutely heartless and sociopathic marketing.Please do not support this company. Notice that the positive reviews are all very similar. Likely, they are fakes. This is not a useful app, it is worse than useless as it could be dangerous.

This App Takes Advantage of a Desperate Situation

Much like the hardware store that jacks up the price of snow shovels in the middle of a blizzard, so too will this app screw you over at the wrong time. It provides for entry of 20 contractions for free. That lasted about 1.5 hours, and just as my wife started a really painful contraction, this app told me that I had to upgrade, which of course I did. "What's going on, this really hurts," she says. "Hold on honey, just need to enter the credit card info, you doing okay?" Of course, when you update, your prior information does not port over to the app you just paid for, meaning as your wife is in labor and screaming at the top of her lungs, "What the hell is my frequency?," you can't tell her all that effectively.Bottom line, do not get the free version of this app. Either pay the $0.99 well in advance (the program was working fine while we used it) or avoid it altogether. A little more disclosure by the designer would have been appreciated. My wife thanks you.

Great app - free version

This app helped me accurately count my contractions. Although you just get 20 counts for the free version, you can always erase and start over again. I did not need to record past contraction pattern as what counts are the current frequency and strength to determine if I need to go to the hospital. There is a snap shot function to take an image copy of the 20 contractions in graphical format for those who want to keep track. Overall, I think the free version is more than enough for me, however, I am sure the paid version is as good, if not more so.

Good app but ads interrupt at very bad times

This app works very well and we used it in preparation of both our children. But I will say one thing: the placement of occasional video ads is INFURIATING. I understand banner ads and small things to pay for a free-ish version, but if you are timing contractions in active labor, you DON'T want to watch a video before proceeding to the next screen.Designers: Good job on the product and interface. But get a better ad model. Seriously. That's a major UX failure.

Description

Contraction Monitor is designed for pregnancy mums to track contractions. Regular contraction is an importance sign of labor, when that big time is approaching, duration of contraction becomes longer and stronger, frequency becomes shorter. And contractions will show their laws when true labor is coming, so keep tracking contractions will help you distinguish true labor from ‘false’ labor.

Graph of contraction duration and frequency makes it easy for you to see the tendency of contractions. The operation is very easy, just press the button when contraction starts and press the button again when it ends, Contraction Monitor will log the start time, end time, duration and frequency and intensity of this contraction. Features: ⁃ Log start time, end time, duration, frequency and intensity of contractions. ⁃ Analyze contractions by chart and histogram. ⁃ Calculate the average duration and frequency of latest three, five, ten and all contractions. ⁃ Add note to each contraction. ⁃ Share your contraction data with your doctor or friends by email. ⁃ Continue contraction where you left off in the condition that you make a call or play other apps while logging contraction. ⁃ Calculate your delivery due date, show days remaining to your due date and days passed from your last menstrual period. ⁃ Contact module for you to add your labor contacts, you can call them conveniently by one touch if your baby is coming when you are logging contractions. ⁃ Support edit function for contraction logs. ⁃ Migrate Data to pro version. ⁃ Supports Apple Watch version. ⁃ Support both iPhone and iPad version.
