I set up a reminder to count kicks. Which works just well. Maybe too well ... Because when I go back under reminders to remove the time I created, it just says "it looks like you don't have any reminders yet!" ... Then why I am still getting a notification from a reminder I created? I'm logged in so not sure what that's about.
Downloaded this morning and counted kicks for an hour for my twins. Kick session number 1 deleted when I made an account. The app can't keep the baby names straight so now after another hour of kick counting they are mislabeled. Completely useless. There has to be another app that is worth your time and this isn't it. Even pen and paper would be better at this point.
Definitely helps me because I have ADHD. It would be better if there was a bubble like Facebook so you could still count while using other apps :)
I am a doctor and one of my patient ask me for her child movement decreasing. So I give advice to recognize count kick of her child. But she don't know exactly how to make it.So I find an application from the web and found many of them.I installed many of them and use as an example but I don't like most of them. At last I checked this app and I know this is what I want. It's a great app with many languages choosing option.(p.s this is my daughter account.)
**(update at end of rvw)I'm thankful for a free app that helps me take care of my little one. The only thing I'm struggling with is that it will not respond well to the screen rotating. When the screen rotates to horizontal, the button to count the kicks becomes very tiny and it will not go back. If you back out of it, you will lose the kicks up to that point. **today the app reset by itself and erased 6 weeks of history! I'm feeling frustrated.
For something as simple as counting, this app makes everything infuriatingly frustrating. I had to sign up three times, because the register box kept closing on its own, just to learn that the previous attempts HAD gone through after all. When I finally got through signing up (why on earth was my postal code a required field?) it hadn't even saved my kicks, and I had to start over after doing a second in-app registration for the baby profile. Just write it down on paper, much, MUCH easier.
The app works without an account, so I started using it, and after I decided I liked it I created the account that the app was prompting me to do anyway. What I expected was that the data collected so far will be transfered to the newly created account. What happened instead is that the data is lost completely, not even available once I signed out. Extremely disappointing experience.
Great app! Super simple. No bells and whistles, only what you need. Works offline! My ONLY complaint is the story/tip pop-ups that come up before I can tap the "start counting" button. By the time I close it, click start counting, and then click a kick count, I'm several seconds off. In the grand scheme it's NBD, just kind of bugs me.
Terrible. Major disappointment. Loads very slowly. Baby starts moving and I go to open the app and start counting but it takes the darn thing a whole 60 seconds to boot. Crashes ALL the time. After I completed our VERY FIRST session, which lasted 4 minutes, the end screen displays a chart listing 5 dates with different times saying the session was 15 mins and that our average was 15. Says it every time? Not my data. Have to go back to menu and view stats to see correct logs. Needs a lot of work.
I found out about this app from literature at my obstetrician's office. Count the Kicks makes counting my baby's movements much easier and less stressful, and I recommend it. The only issue that has happened to me 3 or 4 times is when I've finished a session and the app behaves like I've finished, the session will actually be incomplete because for some reason the 10th kick isn't counted. So, I've taken to double-checking each session in the Kick Session History and reentering the final kick.
App is very easy to use. I'd appreciate an "always on" option because my screen does go dark sometimes and I have to unlock my phone each time. The dates also get cut off when viewing my timeline. It sometimes takes a bit to load, but I've had no issues in the actual app so far.
This is a great app to remind you to tune in to your baby's movements. It makes it very easy to feel confident that I'm paying attention to the movement patterns that indicate that everything is going well with the pregnancy.
I love this app as it really does help to show the progress and baby's routine of kicks and it is really simple to use. It would just be amazing if it would sync to your smart watch. As there's often times in the working day where I can't have my phone out in front of me. So I miss a lot of the day time activity, but If I could just count the kicks on my watch it wouldn't be as noticeable and I would have a full account of baies day not just the morning and evenings.
This is a great app for bonding with the baby a little bit and helping moms pay attention to their baby's habits. Not to mention the fact that this app saves lives. A change in baby's habit could mean an issue and could help catch it early on. The app is simple to use. It sends reminders to count the baby's kicks and you just tap the screen till he/she reaches 10 movements. Also the app logs movement times for you to show your doctor
This is a great and easy to use app...no frills and unnecessary features.
The app seemed like a great idea and was recommended by my doctor. On my first night trying to use it, it stopped working multiple times and I had to keep restarting. It even stopped working after I'd completed 10 kicks and erased it all. I think I'm going to delete it and see if I can find something better.
I liked this app until I finally decided to create a profile and it lost the sessions I had already done. This app is a little garbage-y and needs work
New edit: app works great now! OLD EDIT: I can't tell if the update has fixed my issues because the app has now logged me out, and will not accept the reset passwords that are being provided to me. So, app is still not working for me. First review: Started freezing and sometimes crashing since the last update. Worked fine before that. Using a Galaxy S10e.
Easy and fun to use, with a downloadable spreadsheet that includes the time of every kick. My only recommendation for improvement is that since we're advised to count the kicks twice a day, it'd be nice to have the chart show two different lines for morning and evening trends.
I just downloaded this app. It keeps freezing and closing without saving the kicks counted. Very frustrating and quite useless since its not serving its advertised purpose. It also keeps bringing a pop-up asking me to "meet the team". I want to count my baby's kicks and save them, not meet your team. I am deleting my account and uninstalling it.
I like the design of the app and it appears to be the only one I've found where you can add notes and the strength of kicks after each session. However, it only let's you count 10 kicks. Also, it keeps showing an error when you try to bring up the history. This was very unhelpful when I needed it to shoe the midwife! And no technical support to report the issue!!
