Fantastic! (5 stars)
Works well. If you are looking at Bradley method natural child-birthing I would recommend.

Awesome (5 stars)
I'm a pregnant 18 year old having early labor problems and I've had those since 23 weeks I have made it to 32 weeks amazingly. But anyways I am very scared of labor and the pain it bring and I'm not good at keeping up with my contractions. This app helped me out alot keeping up with my contractions and made me feel way better about labor! ;)

Very helpful (4 stars)
My husband and I found the videos and timers very helpful
