Contraction Master App Reviews

On the night I went into labor I was not about to start writing down start/end times and doing a bunch of math. Solution - check apps on iPhone to see if there is something to track contractions. Wellah - Contraction Master. This was so convenient and easy to use. I just leaned over and hit start when a contraction started and hit stop when it stopped. It did all the math for me, which lead me to calling my doctor and delivering a child within hours. Definitely recommend and will use for child #2 for sure. Will probably check out Nursing Master too as I downloaded a different nursing tracking app and it is not very good. Thx

I didnt need a thorough record of every contraction. I did need it to run in the background so I could take calls from my mother-in-law. Unlike the free one, this one just couldnt do it.

It runs in the background, but actually ends up pausing the time until you return focus. Also resets the timer if you switch between the timer and history.

I used this the night before and night of labor. It worked as described and helped me figure out spacing and timing of contractions. Very nice app and will use again-- should I need it for #3.

"honey! Youre 3 minutes apart and lasting 45 seconds at a time!" its how we knew it was time to go to the hospital (our daughter was born the same day... December 10th, 2010). Great app!

This app asked us to post my wifes contractions on facebook. Not just once but after every contraction. Saying no took a few clicks. Completely unacceptable. we dropped it after 5 contractions

I used this and loved it with my last pregnancy. Been using it with this pregnancy and its kinda confusing compared to the old one. Go back to the simple version. Dont fix whats not broken!!!

Simple to use however it lacks "editing" as it claims. It lets you delete an entry but not for example change the length (eg if the contraction was 40 seconds and you forget to hit stop, and it records 3 min, your only option is to keep it or delete it which either way messes up your average)

I want to rely on this app but it crashes after recording the first contraction. Now Im looking for a replacement app when I expected to relax between contractions. Just an FYI for anyone thinking any app will be flawless when you need it. Remember that a watch and paper/pen are still great back ups. Ugh!

Used it in early 2011 and it was great. Downloaded it again (due in December) and it crashes while timing and erases all previous contractions. What on earth is the point? If it isnt broken, PLEASE dont "fix" it!

I used this in 2010 on an iPod Touch worked perfect. Now in 2012 with my iPhone 4S , its crashing and not recording properly.

I just updated it and it still crashes even before opening...Im using it on my iPhone 4gs using iOS 6.

Since the update the app wont open. After touching the app button on the screen the app starts to open then shuts down.

This was a great app, but now the history graph/chart is gone. A visual display of data is important for stressed parents to be. Please bring it back.

This app is worth a lot more than $1.99. I changed the setting on my phone to not lock, and used this app frequently during the last two days of my pregnancy and labor. Also the perfect thing to use while in labor, but not hooked up to monitoring. All the features are absolutely wonderful, and better than anything else I attempted to use on a free contraction timing app. Plus I could email the report to my midwife and myself. Sad to delete the app now that baby is here. I never delete apps I love, though clearly I dont need this one any longer.

Great and easy for what it does. Needs a delete all on the history screen. For intermittent tracking its a nuisance to delete each entry one by one compare to how simple and easy to use the rest of the app is.
