Contraction Timer Tracker Reviews

I have been using my Apple Watch as well as my iPhone to time contractions. Both seemed to be working until I looked at the data today and noticed that although ContractionTimerTracker seems to work on the watch, none of the contractions registered from the watch port over to ContractionTimerTracker on my iPhone, so those were completely nonexistent in my contraction timeline and data, making the information useless. It’s incredibly annoying. So only the contractions registered from my phone show up in the contractions list. I’ve verified that ContractionTimerTracker is listed in my watch list and everything. If you plan to only use your iPhone then ContractionTimerTracker will work fine for you.

ContractionTimerTracker is very simple and easy to use—accomplishes just what you need it to. My only problem with it is that when it times how far apart the contractions are, it seems to record from the beginning of one contraction to the end of the next one, rather than beginning to beginning like you are supposed to. I know this because before you press start it shows a timer that is tracking the time since the last contraction. For instance, the timer might read 6 minutes when you press start, but when it is over the time recorded is 7 minutes. It is supposed to go by when the contraction started, not ended. If it has been 6 minutes since the previous contraction when you press start, that’s the time that should be recorded.

ContractionTimerTracker is very simple and easy to use. When one is having a contraction this is much appreciated. Where I think it falls short is in access and the graphs.
Having ContractionTimerTracker be available on the lock screen would certainly bring it up a level. Sometimes unlocking ones phone doesn’t happen upon first attempt. Add in having a contraction and frustration ensues. By the time you get to ContractionTimerTracker the contraction is half over (I realize you can manually adjust the time of the contraction, but hear me out)
Next, the graphs. I would recommend seeking a consultant for help on how best to lay out the data. Currently it doesn’t make sense. The time shouldn’t be on the y-axis.

I am a super new user for ContractionTimerTracker and I like the simplicity of ContractionTimerTracker design and layout. It would be awesome to have ContractionTimerTracker 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 ContractionTimerTracker and I realized that I had to go through so many steps to get to the tracker and that’s why I downloaded ContractionTimerTracker. I like that I can take the information from the other app and add it to ContractionTimerTracker for accurate tracking in the future.

App worked well for its intended use, and the watch app was also very nice. I had to turn off notifications because literally after every single contraction I got a push notification to download another one of their apps. (I’m dealing with contractions, I could care less about your other apps! I could understand maybe one notification, but I had 48 that were exactly the same before I turned off notifications.)

5 stars for ease of use, minus 2 stars for being annoying, plus 1 star for not attempting to track my every move.

Super easy to use. Like that you just need to tap on screen to log start/end of contraction and that you can toggle to see the averages for past 5, 10, 20 contractions. Also really found it useful to be able to correct your logged entries, by continuing with a click of button if you stopped log prematurely, or simply adjusting start time and duration if you made a mistake or forgot to log end of contraction. The graphs of contractions are worthless, though, didn’t need them.

I had a sweep done the day before my due date because I was still 1cm dilated. My contractions started the day of my due date but very inconsistent and hard to keep track of while I am writing it down in my notepad or my husband is texting it to me. I downloaded ContractionTimerTracker and my husband ended up downloading it as well because it is super easy to use. No guess work. Very straightforward app! I used it while having contractions on the way to the hospital (they were painful) because that is how easy it is. You just push a “start” button and then “stop” and do your part in breathing through the contractions lol.
I do not want to delete ContractionTimerTracker because I have an attachment to it due it is being memories tied to my first child. Maybe I’ll take screenshots and put them in her baby book.... but till now I’ll just open it randomly and reminisce 😂

I downloaded ContractionTimerTracker in the middle of the morning I was starting to have contractions which were getting a little painful but I was so tired wasn’t sure if they were close apart or what. So I decided to look and see if there was such an app to help you keep track of your contractions and came across this one. And it worked amazing I ended up downloading ContractionTimerTracker around 3am and ended up having my baby at 7:33am. Made it to the hospital at 6:00am

Some apps don’t allow necessary features like editing the contraction time unless you buy the full version. I was glad everything was included in this free app. We used it my whole labor! I like how it told you how many minutes were in between without have to to do the math ourselves when we don’t have time to think about that. Loved it!

I really like all the information this tracks on one page for me and how easy it is to interface. Keeps track of time, duration, Intensity, and even graphs it out for you to see the big picture. Not to mention being able to add notes to a particular contraction. This has been a much better app than the last one I used for our first baby. Would defined recommend this.

When I started having regular contractions with my first I tried to just use the timer on my phone… that only worked so well for so long and eventually I just stopped tracking them.
Fast forward to baby number 3 and I knew I needed an app of some kind. So I downloaded this ahead of time and it worked so well! I started out using it on my phone but I kept missing contractions because I’d be walking around without my phone. So I checked if it was compatible with my watch and surprisingly it was! I was so happy and it was so easy to use!
I didn’t really use the intensity option for each contraction as my labors are fast and I knew it was getting more intense without tracking it.

The fact that this is the only free contraction app that allows you to add and edit contractions later on makes it a too choice for me. One minor thing, I wish the timer below the start button would change to reflect if you have the setting set to time the start or end of your contraction. I see now where the time is being updated based on the setting but originally (I blame pregnancy brain) I did not.

Ability to start and stop timer easily. Keeps track of when contractions started, how long they lasted, and how long since last contraction. Also easy to edit if you forget to stop the timer, and ability to delete contractions which is great for false alarms or incorrect times.
Only thing I have noticed is sometimes when I open ContractionTimerTracker , the timer has been going on for many hours. But perhaps that is user error in not turning it off correctly. :)

5th baby, let me tell you what you’re looking for in a contraction app. You NEED to be able to edit contractions. You need to be able to add contractions after they happen. If you can’t do those two things, ContractionTimerTracker isn’t helpful for timing contractions. ContractionTimerTracker does it—it’s not pretty, it doesn’t have lots of frills, but it does those things consistently and for free so it’s my go to for next baby, too.

I was able to time a lot of these myself since it was so quick and easy. The feature to touch anywhere on the screen to end is especially helpful. My husband timescthem for a couple of hours while we were in bed (a time that it’s helpful not to have to spend too much time looking at a screen). My labor slowed down and sped up a lot (2 min apart, then 8 min apart) over the hours and it was helpful to be able to qualify. Now we have a beautiful little girl!

I downloaded 4 contraction timer apps to see which one I would like best and be most useful during labor.
This one won hands down! It’s not the prettiest app, there’s others with more bells & whistles but this one had everything I needed and was simply laid out.
It tracks exactly what you need, duration, intervals, a counter since last contraction, and a visual graph of the contractions.
All east to see in one place. The other apps were not very functional during active labor.
This one wins.

My husband and I used this to track my contractions. We were both very pleased! I appreciated how simple it was so I could quickly tap start when I needed to focus on myself! I love how easy it is to edit an entry, which is great if you’re late grabbing your phone. When my contractions were 6 minutes apart I put on my Apple Watch so I could start the timer whenever needed (as my husband packed the car). He monitored the average time on the phone to decide when to head to the hospital.

ContractionTimerTracker was a big help In keeping track of contractions wail you don’t really want to do much all you have to do is tap on tap off the only think I wish it would keep the phone on so I would have had to open it up everytime to tap off that was the only think and when I had a finger twitch it wouldn’t let me delete the mistake take. And then would freeze when I went to delete the mistake ones. Other then that this is way better then wringing down during such a hard time.

I like ContractionTimerTracker so far, I'm using it now, I like that you can choose to track contractions from start to finish with time between each contraction or from the end of one to the other, also that if you miss one you can manually add it, change the time, duration and intensity of it, my only complaint is that about a minute after you stop timing, EVERY SINGLE TIME, an advertisement to download one of their other apps comes on! I think it's to keep track of Baby feeding and such. While in labor, I'm sorry but that is annoying, I don't want to know about downloading anything else I just want to focus on what I'm doing. Other than that great app

I found this while in active labor with my first and remembered it being exactly what I needed at the time. Heading into labor with my second, I was able to find ContractionTimerTracker I'd used before and it is still just as convenient! I love how easy it is to start and stop, that it shows you duration as well as time between contractions, and that it has an Apple Watch paired app. The contraction intensity is a nice feature too. Well done, developers!

ContractionTimerTracker was useful for timing my contractions and determining when I needed to go to the hospital. You must know what to look for as you deem yourself ready or not. It would be helpful if ContractionTimerTracker provided recommendations for when you should pay attention to your contractions and go in to hospital (when they could be a sign of active labor). Also, extremely annoying to be asked to rate ContractionTimerTracker every few minutes when I was dealing with tracking my contractions. The worst time to rate an app!

ContractionTimerTracker is very simple and easy to use. When one is having a contraction this is much appreciated. Where I think it falls short is in access and the graphs.
Having ContractionTimerTracker be available on the lock screen would certainly bring it up a level. Sometimes unlocking ones phone doesn’t happen upon first attempt. Add in having a contraction and frustration ensues. By the time you get to ContractionTimerTracker the contraction is half over (I realize you can manually adjust the time of the contraction, but hear me out)
Next, the graphs. I would recommend seeking a consultant for help on how best to lay out the data. Currently it doesn’t make sense. The time shouldn’t be on the y-axis.

I've just started using this and it's easy to use. Simple interface, nice to be able to make note of intensity.

It would be great if you could go back to a record and edit the start/stop time. A couple of times I forgot to stop the clock and was stuck with an inaccurately long contraction in the analysis.

Also, it would be really helpful if you could change the screen saver setting from within ContractionTimerTracker .

I like that you can edit easily, clear the data for false alarms, see easily the time in between contractions. The graphs are helpful. I like that you can tap anywhere in the screen to stop the counter. It is easy to figure out and navigate, especially when’s contraction hits. I wish it had a dark setting to use in the night. The white background isn’t pleasant.

I tried timing my contractions without any real timing app or anything like that. Yeah. No. APPARENTLY, you’re not “with it” enough to pay attention to the clock when you’re in the middle of the worst pain in the world. This definitely got everything on track. The fact that I could also label each contraction’s intensity makes me wish I could have given in 10 stars. Definitely like the graphs as well to show the progression.

It's a free app. There were bound to be at least a few little problems. But, I was pleasantly surprised.

It was Super Easy to figure out! My client was in labor, the midwife wanted me to time CTX and get back to her, and I hadn't gotten an app. I quickly did a search and grabbed the first one that was free.

I'm very happy, especially since it's so *user friendly* and it's easy to quickly click a button, and then get to pressing on my client's back, then press another button to stop the timer.

I love that I can add an extra CTX if I forgot to start timing one.

I love that I can change a time, especially if I forgot to stop the time.

I love that I can add a note to every CTX.

I'd recommend ContractionTimerTracker , and would even consider buying it.

ContractionTimerTracker is so simple to use. You simply open up ContractionTimerTracker and press start. When the contraction ends, you hit anywhere on the screen twice, and it records the time. It shows the length of time between contractions too. It's very straight forward without a lot of thrills, but when you're in labor, you don't care about the thrills. You simply need to know how far apart the contractions are.

ContractionTimerTracker made timing my contractions so easy! It really helped me to realize the difference between Braxton Hicks contractions and real contractions. I️
love that you can add intensity levels to each contraction, because if you have a terrible memory like me this really helps you see clearly when they are truly getting worse or if you just need to drink some water and change positions (to ease Braxton Hicks). Awesome app!

I strongly recommend downloading ContractionTimerTracker. I used it when my wife started having contractions and it was so helpful! It’s super user friendly and you there’s only a couple simple steps to keep track of contractions. We used ContractionTimerTracker from the she started having contractions all the way to the hospital. I definitely recommend!

This is a very easy to use and yet very effective contraction timer. The timeline in the top shows you the contractions over time in a very easy to understand way and I also love how you can rate the intensity of each contraction. Only thing I would recommend is to add an ability to use/see ContractionTimerTracker from the lock screen if possible.

I tried other apps for keeping track of contractions but this had the simplest and easiest to use features. You need to know the duration and the time in between contractions and ContractionTimerTracker keeps track of all the contractions. Other apps were simply giving you averages of the combined contractions which don’t help.
