New: know when to call
• A strip at the top shows how far apart your contractions are, how long they last, and how long they've kept it up
• Get a heads-up when they match the 5-1-1 rule, a common moment to call your hospital or midwife. Different numbers from your midwife? Set your own in Settings
• Save your hospital or midwife's number and call it straight from the alert
• Your Apple Watch and Lock Screen show when 5-1-1 is reached
• Baby born? Celebrate, and timing switches off its alerts
Also new: a fresh look, new intensity icons and tidier settings.
Good luck with the big day!

Easy Contraction Timer opens again on iOS 27. The previous version could close straight away on iPhones running iOS 27; this update fixes that. Your contractions and settings are all still there.
Sorry for the trouble, and good luck with the big day!

While a contraction is running, Easy Contraction Timer now shows it on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island: a live timer, the rest before it and your average interval, without unlocking your phone.
- New: the contraction you are timing appears on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island
- When your contractions are less than five minutes apart, the card turns amber, so you can see it may be time to call your midwife
- The card starts the moment you start a contraction and ends when you stop it, including when you start it on your Apple Watch
- Fixed: the hospital notification could stay silent if an earlier contraction was never stopped, for example when the app closed mid-contraction
- Fresh artwork for our other Easy Apps, which help you and your partner track feedings, diapers and sleep once your baby arrives

The Apple Watch app has been rebuilt. It is now one screen you scroll: the timer fills the top, and your finished contractions scroll up underneath it — no more swiping sideways to find them.
You can also rate intensity from your wrist. Tap any contraction in the list and pick mild, moderate or strong. Because you can do it afterwards, stopping a contraction on the watch no longer interrupts you on your phone to ask.
And the watch app now speaks your language, in all eight the app supports.
This release also adds French and Italian to the App Store listing.
