Frustrating

It does its job for the most part in terms of counting the kicks, but not without unnecessary and annoying pop-ups. When trying to use the contraction timer, far too often it gives me an obnoxious pop-up about a “fact” I really am not interested in, seeing as I’m trying to mark a contraction and it’s very frustrating to have to close the pop-up and try to mark a contraction. The contraction counter also doesn’t make much sense and is more frustrating than it is convenient to use. It also doesn’t keep counting outside of the app, so I end up losing track of the contraction as a whole if I have to check a separate app or respond to a text during the contraction. I’ve also had moments where I thought I ended the contraction only to find it’s been timing for the last 5 minutes. I’ve just downloaded a separate app at this point for the contractions. I truly do not recommend using this one for the contractions. Also the “dark mode” for the kick counter makes it impossible to read the notes that are put in. Pregnancy can be very frustrating at times, especially when concerned about kicks or having a contraction, and having to navigate an app that shouldn’t be this annoying really does not help.

2025-06-26

Pregnancy Brain?

Might be pregnancy brain but I was asked to create a pregnancy profile 2x so had data under two different profiles. Deleted one and lost that data so I’m a little frustrated but will review further once I used this app longer. Good ol’ fashioned pen and paper might just have to suffice.

2025-06-13

Hasnt tracked anything so disappointing

I’ve been tracking the kids twice a day for two weeks now and it hasn’t tracked anything. It tells me nothing is there even though I made an account and I’m logged in.

2025-06-09

Really helpful

I really like having this app. You can track things for yourself and OB and even share the daily results with your spouse so they can see! I really liked the reminders. Mine haven’t worked for weeks now. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Logging out and in. Restarting my phone. Nothing helps. I have 2 reminders and none of them have worked in weeks so I set an alarm on my phone. Please fix the reminders! Otherwise, love the app and everything it involves. I plan to use it for my contractions as well.

2025-05-09

Great App

this app is extremely easy to use. Lots of helpful information. Would recommend this to anybody who is pregnant and needing to count kicks.

2025-05-01

Terrible

I would start a count, then it disappears after a few kick counts

2025-03-31

No history

I’ve had the app for over a month and have never been able to view my history. It always says “we cannot seem to find anything right now. Please come check back again later.”

Still no history coming up.

2025-03-13

I love it, super easy to use

Found this app and it’s very helpful for baby kicks, I really like it and I been using it for my third trimester. I recommend this app if you need something easy to use. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

2025-03-12

Simple and easy to use

App is simple and easy to use. It’s not too hard to figure it out. It’s pretty much self explanatory. You just hit the red button and start counting the kicks.

2025-02-17

Perfect

It’s so easy to use! Tracking my baby’s movements

2025-02-14

Pretty decent app

Love this app. I’m currently 32 weeks and have been using it since I was 28weeks. It easy to set up and use. However for some reason the reminder dearie does not work on this app. I just ended up setting a daily reminder on my phone. Also there are wayyyyyyy too many pop ups. Even for a free app it seems a little excessive. They aren’t ads per se just tips and suggestions for another on of their apps for dads. But it’s excessive and a bit annoying

2025-02-11

Made an account but it doesn’t save my session

2025-01-05

Could be better

I just started using this app. It definitely could be better. It asked about strong kicks at the end of the counting. I wish you were able to mark which ones were stronger as you’re going. Also, I wish you could edit the colors of the app. I hate the ketchup and mustard look!

2024-12-26

Solid App

Easy to use, fast way to keep track of kick counts. Easier & provides advice on how to use it & when to call your provider. Gives me peace of mind, I’m 30 weeks along.

2024-12-11

Glitchy

Do not recommend this app. You need to create an account to keep your kick history, however the process to account creation is extremely glitchy, slow and bugged. Once finally created it will not log you in and crashed repeatedly rendering the app unusable.

2024-12-07

Can't sign up or sign in with apple or google

Cant use

2024-11-30

Can’t log in

I can’t log in, I’ve made an account I keep getting a time out error issue it too me while to even be able to create an account

I also have been trying to log a session as 1 foot for flutters and it’s showing as 2 in my most recent history

2024-11-27

Easy to use!

Super simple app, I appreciate that there's not a ton of bells and whistles, it just does exactly what it says on the tin. Per my midwife's advice, tracking two times a day at the same time of day has helped me get to know my baby's movements and being able to look at all my past counting sessions gives a very clear view of how active she is. Using this app has helped me have so much peace of mind knowing my baby is happy and healthy in there.

2024-11-23

Can’t access my account

I love the idea of this app and that you can keep track of your data to help you notice patterns. Sadly, I was able to use the timer for the first time but the process of creating and logging into my account has been very glitchy. A spinning wheel pops up on the screen every time I try to log in and makes me think something is happening but after several days of trying I can’t access the account I created. I am officially giving up and using an app provided by my insurance instead, while it doesn’t offer as many features as this app does at least it works.

2024-11-18

Glitchy

Glitchy, had to delete it because of technical issues

2024-10-06

Disappointed

Did not save my sessions or data after multiple tries

2024-08-08

Doesn’t inform you what is abnormal

Only allows you to record the kick frequency and intensity without feedback. There should be an algorithm in there to alert users what is abnormal to speak with doctor about: minimum should be after 29 weeks, 10 kicks in the hour when baby is usually most active.

2024-08-05

A must in pregnancy!

This app is a must during your precious pregnancy and it’s very easy to use. Everyone should be instructed by their provider on how to count the kicks and use apps like this one!!

2024-07-24

Helpful for nervous moms

I’m really grateful I found this app. It makes counting kicks so easy. I do my kick counts at the same 2 times every day and the reminders make it really easy to keep track of when to start. It’s been helpful for me as I really have learned my baby’s typical pattern, and I feel confident that if something deviated from the norm I’d be very aware just from my counts. It’s easy to use as well!

2024-07-04

Love It

One of the best parts of my day & amazing concept, so helpful

2024-06-26

Create A Pregnancy Profile First

The app wont prompt you to do this until after you have already completed a kick session.. then once you do it won’t recognize that session… like it never happened. I just wasted an hour tracking kicks and I have no data to show for it. It would seem I’m not the only one to experience this exact problem. If it lets you.. create the pregnancy profile first.

2024-06-13

Free, easy to use, and helpful

Highly recommend for anyone in their third trimester. My obgyn recommended it to me, and I follow someone online who talks about how this app saved her baby’s life. It’s quick, free, and easy to use, so there’s no reason to not use it if you’re later in pregnancy!

2024-05-31

New update TERRIBLE

The recent update is terrible! It doesn’t truly continue your last kick session. You lose all your progress and the timing is definitely off. I had a separate stop watch going to check the timings and it was off by minutes! So frustrating.

2024-05-27

Deletes kicks

I had about 8 kicks logged in 50 minutes. It deleted about 5 of them when I left the app for a few minutes. I had a scare recently and this app was going well the first week and now it is glitching. I want to be able to properly document the kicks without them being deleted

2024-05-26

Very useful

I started using this app at 24w pregnant with my first pregnancy and it’s a convenient way to keep track of my baby’s kicks!

2024-05-09

Doesn’t save sessions

I’ve just finished my fourth session and it literally wiped the memory of my precious three since I updated the app. Very frustrating and defeats the purpose.

2024-05-07

Life Saving Technology

Every expectant parent should take the time to use this app. It has some amazing resources and provides life-saving technology!

2024-05-06

One annoying feature

You cannot close out the app or go to another app or else it will end the countdown. Annoying feature when you’re supposed to just sit and be still, but can’t scroll on your phone and go back to the app when you feel a kick.

2024-05-05

Why Can’t I Edit?

I like this app but I don’t understand the discrepancy with dates and why I can’t edit previous entries. My first entry looks like it was entered on 4/5 when yesterday was in fact 5/4 and I never had a chance to input date. Date and time should be automatic right? Then when I go in to add notes or something it won’t allow me to change anything that’s been submitted.

2024-05-02

Update issue??

After the most recent update, the app continues to log me out and/or keeps saying I’ve missed days when I haven’t. Before this update, I absolutely loved the app. So hopefully that can be fixed.

2024-05-02

Constantly deletes my profile

This app is trash. Twice it has deleted all of my data and has no record of my account. I lost 30 days and then a weeks worth of records so I can’t actually compare my baby movement without that. I made a third profile so we’ll see if this one lasts.

2024-04-29

Good when it works

This app is still having problems with closing out of a session when the phone screen blacks out. They either need to make it so the screen stays on during an active session or like a timer that keeps ticking even when the screen blacks out.

If this issue would be resolved I would like this app.

2024-04-28

App crashes

This app is good when it saves your info and loads but MAJORITY of the time the app crashes, your login disappears or you’ll login and it’ll ask you how many babies you’re counting for as if it’s your first time using the app.

If you can get past all the little annoyances and only need to use this for a few weeks- sure download it but if there’s something else out there that actually works I would recommend that instead.

2024-04-28

Glitchy app

When I first downloaded the app would not let me make an account. I was able to continue using the app without an account and after tracking almost my entire pregnancy there must have been some kind of update because it erased all my history and the only way to use it was to make an account.

2024-04-27

App not working like was before

The app worked great before, now it doesn’t work and stops counting if you exit the app or your screen goes dark, when before it didn’t. The time completely stops or it erases the entire count.

2024-04-27

Waste of my time

This app would be great if I could actually use it. I recorded my data and kicks from 27 weeks to 32. Then it logged me out and won’t let me back in. Won’t send me my password or give me any way to re login despite trying to through all available avenues, I’ve been trying for 2 days. All I can do is make a new account. So what was the point of collecting all that data for weeks?

Also when I previously would try to refer to past data it would freeze and glitch.

What a waste of my time, I’m so frustrated.

2024-04-26

Hate this app

I really hate this app. I hate the fact that the notifications are unreliable. I hate that the timer doesn’t start until you log a movement. I hate the way it presents your session data in a way that is not helpful and doesn’t let you understand the patterns of your baby’s movements. Great organization but terrible, terrible app.

2024-04-04

Gave me peace of mind

CTKs gave me peace of mind during a difficult, high risk pregnancy. I’m so happy this resource is here for expectant parents.

2024-03-31

Easy to use+track!

Super easy to use for tracking movements. Love that it sends reminders to count the kicks!

2024-03-30

Great App

Easy to use! First time mom here! It’s super simple to use! My only thing, is I wish it would show your last few sessions (not in a PDF form). Or make it easier to share on social media.

2024-03-20

love this app :)

love this app. it makes me want to relax sit back and enjoy my baby’s kicking

2024-03-19

Great app! Wish it was on Apple Watch

I love the app and started using it to track movements, and love that it’s a non-profit. My only wish is that it works on Apple Watch because I don’t always have my phone on me when baby is most active (usually in the early morning) so would be helpful to have the watch app to be able to continue tracking regularly. But so easy to use!

2024-03-17

Technical issues

I’m not sure if this app is underdeveloped, needs to be updated by the creator, or is in the process of troubleshooting errors but I am not able to see my overall history and I have not been able to successfully set up an account to monitor the pattern of my baby’s kicks over the weeks since I began counting. The app limits what data I can see to the last five days. The reminder to count kicks works very well but not being able to see the trends with graphs and access to the overall history tab is troublesome. I get the same error every time I click “kick session history.” It is a great concept but it could really use some technical support and updating to ensure all the links function properly. To maximize the app as a pregnant woman, the kick session history feature needs to work well.

2024-03-13

Makes keeping counting track easy

I was intimidated to try to keep track everyday of kick counts, but this app makes it super easy. No need for pen and a journal!

2024-03-09

Great app!

Easy and fun to use

2023-12-07

Reminders turning off 😔

I really like the simplicity of this app, but for the second time now it has stopped pushing my reminders through my notifications. I will probably continue to use the app since it has so much of my data now, but it is really disappointing and I am often forgetful so I have some anxiety about forgetting to get my counts done.

If I was to be ultra nit-picky, I really don’t like the yellow & red/primary color scheme, and the font is a little off-putting. But overall, an app like this should be easy to use and basic and it meets that expectation!

2023-11-15

Glitches?

I do love the app, but I keep getting notifications to update it and when I try, it doesn’t? And I also get notification badges on the app and I look all over it to see where it’s coming from and still nothing.

Overall, I do like it and will continue to use, but just having some technical issues & the website for support wasn’t as helpful. I’m sure once these are fixed it’ll be fine!

2023-11-06

Great 3rd Trimester App

Count the Kicks is awesome. It makes kick counting so easy and gives gentle reminders when you may have forgotten a session. I also enjoyed reading the “baby save stories” - although they were scary scenarios, reading them made me even committed to doing kick counts, and confident that by doing them I have the best chance of getting help soon enough if there’s a problem.

2023-10-27

Some kinks shorn the app.

I like the overall look of the app and the aesthetic. However, when doing a kick counting session, sometimes I don’t know that I didn’t finalize my session and it didn’t register - so I basically lose all the data I just input. This wasn’t just one time, it happens frequently. Also, for some reason, I was signed out of the app but it never notified me and there was no indication I was signed out so I was doing kick counting sessions for days and even I tried to check the history, I couldn’t access any of the data. When I showing some time trying to troubleshoot that’s when I realized I wasn’t logged in. When I logged in, none of those previous sessions were saved. I have another app that works better. Such a shame because I really like how this app looks.

2023-10-20

Glitchy

This app is incredibly glitchy. With my previous pregnancy, I had a few months of data logged and then it was suddenly gone/lost. I created a new account and for the remainder of the pregnancy, data was logged/saved.

I am currently 24 weeks pregnant and figured I’d give this app another try, but I can’t even create a new account using Apple or Facebook, as it says it’s “unable to authenticate” or something. At this point, I don’t even want to bother logging in with my old account as I don’t care to encounter another glitch and lose all my data again.

Kick counts AND learning your baby’s movement/routines are very important, so if this app doesn’t work for you (as it doesn’t work for me), find something else.

2023-10-11

Great app, great support

This app was recommended to me by my doctor when I entered my third trimester. It’s been fantastic. Straightforward, easy to use, doesn’t interrupt you with ads or other nonsense, and it gives me peace of mind.

They also have top notch customer service. I had an issue where I was logging without being logged in, and they got back to me within a day after I contacted support - and they got my data back. So, so pleased with this app!

2023-09-24

Easy to use

Was hesitant at first but decided it would be better to have a separate app than one combined with a development tracker. It helps to remind you if you missed your normal time and tells you if you missed several days as well.

—— Wish there was buttons for if you know hands vs feet/legs so that way it was easier to tell the difference between “flutter” and “jabs/rolls”

2023-08-27

Especially great for high risk pregnancies

I have three factors that caused my pregnancy to be high-risk, so finding this app provided comfort in-between doctor’s appointments. I have information ready to share with my doctors as it tracks your history in graph forms. It is mobile, so I can also use it while at work. The technology is also not overwhelming, and the auto-save features allows you to continue even if your phone exits the app. I highly recommend to any expecting mothers!

2023-08-17

Update messed everything up

Edit: I was eventually able to log in and my data was mostly still there (last session didn’t save movement strength).

I was enjoying the app, but recently updated it as prompted. It started acting buggy (couldn’t finish the session or save it). I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and now I can’t log in at all. I tried “forgot password” and still can’t sign in. New update made the app super buggy, the forgot password process is painfully slow, and now I lost my data unless this can be fixed.

2023-06-12

Kinda stressful

First, the Apple Watch app does not work at all. I downloaded this app specifically because it said it was Apple Watch compatible and it doesn’t work. I don’t have my phone on me most the day so I missed tons of sessions because I can’t log them.

I’ve had this app for about a week and every single day the little tip or fact that pops up is solely about still birth and fetal demise. I’m 32 weeks pregnant and I don’t need to see this and not just every day, but every time I log a kick session it’s the same pop up for 24 hours about still birth or how often still birth happens or “meet our ambassadors and their stories” and every single one I read is about them suffering a still birth. Like Jesus can this stop?! Can we get anything else for these pops ups except all of our biggest fears? And there is no way to turn this off. You have to see it every time you finalize a kick session. Maybe I’m unlucky and getting them non stop but I’m about to delete this app if I get one more.

2023-05-29

Lost two weeks of history

Used the app on a guest account for two weeks. After counting today, I created an account to get a better view of kick history. Unfortunately, all the history I could see is now gone. This is especially frustrating because the history was saving just fine when just using a guest account but the app leads you to believe creating an account would improve reviewing the kick history.

While this bug is being addressed, a notification or warning about loosing your kick history would at least be honest.

2023-02-13

Very unimpressed

Counting kicks is very important but this app has not been what I hoped. When I go to kick session history I just see an unlabeled line and bar graph. I would love too see each date with time length labeled instead and be able to choose to see the past week vs past 30 days. When I go to share data it is the most unorganized way to share. I wish I could share a photo to show how chaotic it looks. Another thing I was surprised by is the app doesn’t give tips on how to do kick counts. Like don’t be eating or drinking nor listening to music as doing so won’t give you your baby’s neutral activity.

2022-12-01

So helpful!

I’m a loss mama of an Angel who was born sleeping. We are currently pregnant with our rainbow baby, and I can’t tell you how much easier this app makes counting kicks. Trying to do it myself always left me losing track of where I was. This app is so easy to use, keeps count for you as you go. I also like that I can rate how strong the kicks are, to get a sense of her patterns. Great app and so helpful!

2022-08-16

First Time Using This

This is my first child and my first time using this. I read online I have to start counting by 28 weeks but I’m not there yet and according to my dr, I don’t need to start till 32 weeks but I already have activity, so I want to. I’ve used the app twice so I’ll add another review once I’ve used it more. So far, it’s wonderful. The only downside is that it’s glitchy and the touchscreen isn’t accurate or sensitive enough when tapping and typing in your info. Otherwise, great app! Very helpful and fun.

Fastest baby kick counter I could find, and it was created by an nonprofit

Fastest baby kick counter I could find, and it was created by an nonprofit. The Baby Center app is a good app in general, and has a kick counter too. But it’s not very accessible at this kick counter and I found it harder to track the kicks on the fly with the Baby Center app.

The one is fast because it automatically opens to the kick counter every time. The only annoying thing about it is the little pop up messages they have every single time you finish logging your kicks sessions. I would suggest they only pop up every other, or every few kick sessions instead. Otherwise good app & counter, with lots of helpful info from a good & trusted organization. Thanks

Feeling confident with my rainbow baby

I had two early miscarriages before this pregnancy. At first, it felt like every little change was scary and was a potential red flag. I’ve relaxed a lot over the past few months as this guy has reached all the milestones and is seemingly perfectly healthy. I love this app because it helps me track his kicks and notice any patterns. I know if I do need to contact a doctor at any point, I’ll have real data to show them.

One piece of the peace of mind puzzle

This app is great for keeping track of movement during the most active time of day for baby. That said, my doctors advice has been more helpful: get to know your baby’s routine. This app is only one piece of that. I wish there were an easier was to chat baby’s movements throughout the day, because there’s usually a pattern. If we’re only tracking the once-a-day window, it’s hard to get an idea of what’s normal for our individual tiny human — even daylight savings threw me off last week.

So, many thanks to the Count the Kicks org for offering this tool and for their investment in prenatal education. Just remember to partner with your doc for a wholistic interpretation of what’s normal for your individual baby’s activity.

Very very disappointed- data wiped

I reached my due date and the app kept aggressively popping up with a “Did you deliver?” before I could count my baby’s kicks. I’ve been counting since 28 weeks and am now at 41 weeks, so I lost a LOT of data when I clicked “yes” with no ability to go back, no prompt to enter actual delivery date, etc. To be honest this is the worst time to lose the data since my chance of stillbirth is going up the longer baby stays in, and I’d like to be able to actually compare. Unfortunately the app design has ruined this. Overall the app works well but it also doesn’t have a good info button in general if you start counting and then forget. You have to go through and manually delete the bad data rather than being able to just start the session over. For a free app it’s pretty good but could use some big functionality changes.

Great app!

After talking with my healthcare provider about counting kicks, I realized that it’s a lot to keep track of—the number, how low, how strong, the same time of day (ideally). I thought to myself, “There has to be an app for that!” After researching, I found this one and I’m so glad I did! It’s easy to use, very intuitive (easy interface), and records everything for me. It will even send me reminders at the same time every day to help me remember to count the kicks. Great app—would highly recommend.

Best app I found

I’ve tried out multiple different apps and this was my favorite. Simple to use, easy to open and get started, keeps track of data in a way I liked.

Only thing I would change, which may be true of all of the kit counting apps, is I wish I could use it while in airplane mode.

Very useful, happy app :-)

Bad for women

The app is effective for assisting a woman doing her kick count, but the accompanying stories of “saved babies” are distressing at best and irresponsible/potentially hurtful at worst. Most women who notice reduced fetal movement will go on to deliver healthy babies. This is deliberately obscured by the app, contributing to increased anxiety and fear amongst the users (including myself at the time, despite high medical literacy).

Encouraging women to communicate with their providers if they have any concern. Do not wave horror stories in front of women’s faces. For what it’s worth, the suggestion that the app “saved” any babies in the stories is misguided and misleading.

My rec: talk to your doctor if you are worried. If you want a kick counter app, get a different one that doesn’t include deliberate scare tactics.

Great peace of mind

This app was so easy to use and being a first time mom, it helped me through my anxieties about my baby. Gave me cute little tips and it was a nice way to bond with my baby every night before bed. I am honestly going to miss having this app on my phone a little bit and having those nightly reminders now that he is here with me, safe and healthy.

Too glitchy to rely on

I wanted to like this app - especially given all the positive ratings- but the first two out of three sessions I had were a complete waste. Day 1, I started counting, finished the session, then it prompted me to create an account or continue on as a guest. I of course created an account, as I intended to use this for the next 3 months. Unfortunately, once I did that, all my session data was lost and was not synced to the new account I created. I was bummed but planned to do Day 2 with my new account. All was well. On to Day 3 (today), things were going well. However, when I went to record a kick, I opened back up my phone (bc if no activity, the screen goes black - which was fine before - you just reopen it and continue your counts…although it would be ideal for the app to stay open and active when you were in an active kick count session), and this time the app had just restarted itself and was back to the main screen asking me to count my kicks! When I went into session history, I saw my incomplete session with 3 missing kicks and the time it took to get to 7. Why did it choose that time to just shut down and restart? So once again, I was left with incomplete data. I’m deleting this app and finding a new one - this info is way too important to keep taking chances on whether my info will save one day to the next!

Data Never Saved

I’ve installed this app and tried for 2 days. The interface is confusing and hard to use: I first tried the “start counting” function, which seemed to have recorded a session with 10 baby kicks. But after I saved the session, it went nowhere to be found. I thought maybe I needed to created an account first, which then I did, and I also created a baby profile. Then I tried to count again and saved my session, but under “Kick Session History” it showed “nothing here”. I was confused. Then I tried to record another session under the baby profile I created, now it seemed like the session had been saved. Today I opened the app and checked again, all sessions I “saved” previously were gone again. So frustrating. Such a waste of time. Where did the rating 4.8/5 come from???

Older version was better

I started using this app about 3 months ago. (A lady I lnow is a huge advocate/ambassador for it and I’ve been wanting to use it with this second pregnancy.) I am currently 7 months pregnant. It was great at keeping track of my sessions. Well, this app was recently upgraded. The biggest difference is that I have used this app every day since the upgrade and the app keeps saying I’m on day 1. Yesterday, it even said I haven’t logged in 2 days. So I logged in the afternoon around 5pm and again in the evening around 10:45 pm. The app still said I’ve only done one session. I’m going to give it a few more days. If it doesn’t change, I will delete and look for something else.

2021-07-17

Lately there are so many bugs!

So, at first I was annoyed because I counted several sessions before I created an account. Once I created my account, it wiped my session history with no notice. Then, it started saving a few, but the averages and charts were all messed up. Now it doesn’t save any of my sessions, at all! What’s the point if it doesn’t actually save data? Seems like it was a really good tool before the update, which stinks because I did like the ability to track movement strength too.

Issues since new update

I had been loving the app and loved the sound of the new updates when I read about them coming to it, but now I’m really frustrated with how glitchy the app is being since it updated. It even claimed I didn’t have a current pregnancy profile, made me make a new one but then loaded my previous one anyway so now I’m stuck with two profiles for the same pregnancy & I can’t even combine the data. Besides that, it seems the old data got messed up some how, it’s saying my average time for sessions on that profile was Negative 43 minutes!! 33 sessions I can no longer use for this, thankfully I know what my old average was around for baby’s kicks, but like I said, it’s just frustrating.

Counting and Bonding

Tracking my baby’s in utero movements has been the most fun part of pregnancy for me, and I didn’t need an app for that! But my husband found this app when my OB asked me to be especially vigilant with my kick counts in the last couple weeks before delivery. Sitting down with my feet up and my hands on my belly once or twice a day has acquainted me with his movement patterns and his body positions even better than before. And my baby responds to the attention with more movement! It has been a fun bonding time.

Great 3rd trimester partner

It’s a great app backing a great cause. Helping me get through my 3rd Trim with less anxiety. Wish it had a screen lock feature so that the screen would not dim out- it takes 30-60mins sometimes to log the kicks and if my phone screen blacks out I forget I was counting. They should come up with a count the contractions feature as well.

2021-03-08

Okay

The app worked fine for what I needed it to do but without sounding insensitive I really wish they would keep the references about stillbirth in their own tab instead of having them pop up at the end of a count session. I already knew the importance of counting kicks, hence downloading the app, but the frequent references to the founders' stories was an anxiety trigger. Also, I always go over my due date and every day that I logged on past my due date I would get a pop up saying they noticed I was past my due date and did I need to update my profile with the delivery...annoying to see that reminder that you’re overdue every time you log on. Lol

Makes counting kicks easy

Before I started using the app I would forget to count kicks throughout the day and start panicking. I would be counting kicks at all hours of the night to make sure everything was okay. Since I started using the app a few weeks ago and I haven’t missed one day! I love that it reminds me and if I go more than a few hours it will alert me. Great app and it’s very easy to use.

2021-01-08

Great App

I turned off the notifications because if I had already done the count when the notification went off, I wasn’t able to make the notification go away without doing the count again. Otherwise, it works very well. It’s easy to use and gives quick and easy data. It can provide comfort when I’m not sure if I’ve felt my baby boy moving by showing me he’s moving just as often still.

Awesome app, could be improved even more

I love the app. It is awesome. The only small thing I have that needs to be improved is being able to take back that last kick when you hit the button by mistake. It’s happened a few times, I must admit it is user error, but I think they could help us out. When my phone is low on battery, the auto lock gets decreased to 30 seconds. So I have to touch the screen to keep it on. Sometimes the kick gets registered, and it’s no problem to”undo last kick”. But, if you do it on that last one, the session ends and I’m not able to take it back. Other than that, this is the best app on the market for counting kicks.

Saved my baby’s life

My last pregnancy was going great until the end. After a few days noticing it was taking longer to count my baby’s kicks with this app, I went in to get a fetal heart monitor check and immediately had to do an emergency c-section. Tracking with this app let me know something wasn’t right and I am forever thankful for it. Made by mamas for mamas! I tell all my new mom friends about it because of my first hand experience. Thank you so much for creating this!

Frustrating Glitch

I was tracking my baby’s movements for a month and a half, and then a few days ago I go to open my app and it has logged me out. I had used Facebook to create my account, so I attempted to log back in via Facebook. However this message came up:” Login failed. You can’t use Facebook to login to this app or device because there is an issue with the implementation of the Facebook login.”

I tried multiple times, even deleted and reloaded the app, but no success. So I had to create an entire new profile using my Google login, and I’ve lost nearly 1.5 months of data for my baby’s kicks. I’m disappointed by this - even if the issue is with FB and not Count the Kicks. I wish there was a way to just create a profile from scratch and not rely on some other platform like FB or Google to create an account.

Good concept, poor delivery

I love the concept of what the app is trying to do, but I feel like the app itself needs a lot of work. It is constantly logging me out, which is frustrating to have to always be logging back in. When it logs me out, then it creates a new profile when I log back in so I can’t actually track much because there are only a couple count sessions on each profile. I haven’t figured out if I can combine the multiple profiles. I also feel like it operates really slowly to load, to start a session, etc. I want to like this more, but it usually just frustrates me and doesn’t work well.

Easy App to keep baby safe

This is a great app to count the kicks every day to ensure baby is doing well. I like that it provides a trend as you go along so you can clearly see if anything is different then it should be. I appreciate the reminders as well that it will send as sometimes life just gets to busy it is nice to have the reminder to slow down and spend some time paying attention to baby and it’s movements.

2019-07-29

Easy to Use, Takes Forever to Load

I downloaded this app after my midwife suggested counting kicks and monitoring baby’s movements to get an idea of baby’s patterns. I like how easy the app is and I like that you can “undo” a kick—very handy feature when you have an overly helpful four-year-old. I do hate that the app takes quite some time to load when you open it, so if you have an idea when you’re going to want to start counting kicks, make sure to open the app a few minutes ahead of time.

Crashes often

I loved this app at the beginning and started using it once I entered my third trimester. About a week into using the app I noticed that it had issues crashing when I try and open the app. There have been multiple times that I haven’t been able to access and count my baby’s kicks. I’ve also had issues with getting signed out. I do agree with others that it takes a long time to open. By the time it does open my baby has already moved frequently. Due to the unreliability I went with a different app

2019-04-30

Very delayed upon opening

This app works well for counting kicks and is simple to use. However, it's very annoying that it takes several several seconds to load upon opening app and after hitting the "Start Counting" button. My baby moves quickly so often times she's already kicked 3-4 times before the app even gets to the foot symbol for counting each kick. Sometimes I've also found I have to click the foot symbol a few times before it actually registers that I hit it. This kind of app shouldn't have that much lag time.

Count the Kicks!
