The effect of the mobile application has been evaluated in a study where 123 women were randomised to 3 months treatment with support of the smartphone application, or to a control group. Nine out of ten women in the app group improved, compared to two out of ten in the control group. For more details, see Publications at http://www.econtinence.se.
In order to follow the use and the effect of treatment when the app is freely available, there are some questions integrated into the app regarding age, education, rural or urban living and urinary leakage. After three months there are follow-up questions regarding urinary leakage and exercises. Answering the questionnaires are optional, and entered data is anonymously transferred to the research database. The answers cannot be traced to a specific user or telephone number. The study is approved by the Regional Ethical Review Board, Umeå University (Dnr 2014-389-32M). More information at http://www.econtinence.se.

I got a recommendation to use the app by my physiotherapist, because I have a large injury in my pelvic floor (levator avulsion). The sound does not alway play correctly. The most disturbing is that old lady though. This is mocking all of us having injuries from giving birth. Most physiotherapists in Sweden recommend this app for these injuries we are certainly quite a few young women using this. Please change the background!(or give us an option!)
Have tried a few pelvic floor exercise apps and this one is really good. No ads, no pressuring you to buy electronic aids to help you do your exercises. Advice as and when to do exercises and how to do them correctly. Would definitely recommend this app, and it's Free!!!
The instructions are easy to follow, the strength scale is easy to follow and the reminders are easy to follow. And my problem is starting to get under control so I don't feel unease just for lifting my kid. Looking forward to completing the 3 months. I got this app as a suggestion from my midwife after suffering a rather extensive damage while giving birth. I could not figure out the instructions I got, via letter, by a physical therapist, and she came up with this.
Excellent app... very easy to use (and my muscles are VERY weak from childbirth injuries and also due to a disease I have.) I found the information and instructions to be very informative. I feel that this is the best PF exercising app available here and would highly recommend it. And having got past the first non-intrusive questionnaire bit there are no adverts either, which is good. I highly recommend anyone to give this a go... (and I only write reviews for an app that impresses me 🤔☺😊)
Found the app after reading the Asklund and Hoffman papers. It's user friendly, informative and evidense based. The best feature in my opinion is the sound effects.
Legitimate it works! You just have to do the work it gets easier and has helped me a LOT after giving birth I had major issues now I feel like I am being proactive and its helped me a lot my journey is still not over but I can feel the improvement
Works, easy to use and keep up. Thanks immensely as I had problems for years that are resolving.
Was fine until reminders stopped working.
Very simple effective app
Don't use this app enough. Intend on changing that.
This app really works try it if you havent
Easy to use
I love the app, it is done in a great detail and with a lot of effort. The instructions are nice and i love the explanations of how to find the right muscles (e.g. analogy with the zipper). The categorization of contractions also helps to implement them easier in every day life (it is not just simple kegels). Only thing regarding the questionnaire (not relevant for me but the developers) is that i could not identify myself with any of the options given for why i am using the app
