The Count the Kicks app is a great way to monitor your baby's health in the third trimester! This free tool allows you to track your babies’ movements, and strength of your baby, on a daily basis, while giving you data to share with your provider. In-app messaging empowers you to speak up if there is a change in what’s normal for your baby and provides you with guidance on how to monitor it. Research shows a change in fetal movement can be the earliest and sometimes only indication that a baby is in distress and should be checked by a provider. Kick counting is a great way to bond with your baby, and 78% of app users say it lowers their anxiety during pregnancy.

- Ability to rate the strength of your baby’s movements

Is Count the Kicks! legit?
🤔 The Count the Kicks! app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
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.
Glitchy
Glitchy, had to delete it because of technical issues
Disappointed
Did not save my sessions or data after multiple tries
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.
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!!
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!
Love It
One of the best parts of my day & amazing concept, so helpful
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.
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!
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.
