FAQ
Answers to common questions about counting kicks with Bump Kicks.
Which languages does it support?
Bump Kicks is available in 23 languages, and has light, dark and system appearance options in Settings.
Where are my counts stored?
On your phone. Your counts, notes and due date never leave the device, and there's no account or sign-in. The app sends anonymous usage statistics to help improve it — never your notes or your due date.
Do I need to add my due date?
No — everything works without it. If you add one, you get weekly notes about how movements tend to feel as your pregnancy goes on, and the bump on Home grows with you week by week.
Can it remind me to count?
Yes. Set a Daily reminder for a time that suits you — counting at roughly the same time each day makes your baby's rhythm easier to notice. You can change it or turn it off any time in Settings.
Can I share my counts at an appointment?
Yes. Share history as PDF in Settings exports every count — date, time, duration and any notes — as a PDF you can email or show at an appointment.
What if I notice fewer movements?
Contact your midwife, doctor or maternity unit now. Do not wait until tomorrow, and do not use this app to decide. You are never wasting anyone's time.
What is "your usual range"?
After five counts, the app shows the range your recent times fall into. It's built only from your own history — never from averages of other pregnancies. It's a record, not a score: the app will never tell you whether a count is fine.
When should I start counting?
Most people start around week 28, once movements have settled into a pattern you can feel every day. If you're unsure, ask at your next appointment — whoever looks after your pregnancy will know best.
What counts as a kick?
Kicks, rolls, swishes and stretches all count as one movement each. Hiccups — small rhythmic pulses that repeat for a while — usually don't. If you're not sure whether something was a movement, count it.
Is Bump Kicks free?
Yes, completely. There are no purchases and no subscription.
What does Bump Kicks do?
It's a kick counter. Tap the bump each time you feel a movement — the first tap starts the count, and the app times how long ten movements take. Every count is saved to your history, so over days you can see your baby's own rhythm.
