Leave a Review Flo Period & Pregnancy Tracker
Deleting the App
Gave a 5 star so this will be seen.
I have been using this app for well over 5 years, it used to be so great and user friendly. And I really appreciated being able to track my cycle and have insight as to what I was going through, all the way up to when I got pregnant early last year with my daughter. & then the app didn’t really have much to offer compared to other apps as far as tracking my pregnancy. I redownloaded the app once I started having periods again postpartum and every so many minutes within using the app, it prompts me to purchase the full subscription to be able to use even basic features that used to be available to everyone without purchase. In addition, when it prompts you to make a purchase, it literally forces you to agree and continue into the purchase by not allowing an exit button or anything to back out of the ad until you’re having to deny the purchase when it tries to ask for a payment method.
It’s ridiculous that they are so money hungry that they now feel the need to try to force you into a purchase. It will also offer insight on your cycle but then pop up with an ad that you need to make a purchase to even see the insight. Other than being able to enter when you have your period and look back on the calendar, it is now a pointless app, I can literally use the calendar on my phone to do the same thing.Show lessRare: Excellent App AND Customer Service
I love Flo, the premium features are worth the price, it has so much useful content I’ve never used a tracker app like it! To all the people who are complaining about it being pay to access simply need to go download any one of the dime a dozen, free, simplistic period/pregnancy trackers since that’s what they actually want. Flo is so much more. The extra course in awakening/taking control of your desire (or a name something along those lines) was incredibly helpful and insightful, especially for someone not knowing where to start. The little q&a message boards, articles, live sessions, etc were also great for more inexperienced ladies to get solid info plus dispel some myths about women’s sexuality and body insecurities which I would have loved to have as younger person. That’s not even mentioning the insanely insightful tracker part itself! Then, to top it off, the customer service is excellent which is so unusual to have one or the other let alone both. I had a misunderstanding about the subs/billing and they cleared it up with absolutely no problem at all. The creators of Flo are brilliant and genuinely doing a service for us ladies interested in more than finding out when our period starts,Show lessOnly some features are useful, predictions poor quality
Flo is a decent way for me to track basal temperature and symptoms throughout my cycle, but I’ve found its cycle predictions to be inaccurate. I appreciate that it collects and graphs patterns of my body in a way I can see over time. However, the app consistently thinks my fertile days are at the end of my cycle, and predicts my period many days before it should start. I’ve logged 5 months of data, including period start dates and ovulation time, but this has not yet affected the predictions. Luckily I’m 33 and have had a consistent 27-29 day cycle for years (and three pregnancies), so I know these predictions are inaccurate and can make my own calculations. It is frustrating though to have to look at the calendar Flo provides and know that it’s all wrong, and have to do the math in my head every time. Isn’t that what the app is supposed to do, at the most basic level? It is also frustrating to be fed articles about why my period is “late,” when it isn’t late at all. It’s unnerving, even though I know better. The somewhat condescending tone of the articles in the app, along with the poor timing of their appearance, is the most bothersome part of the user interface. It would be helpful if there was a way to override the algorithm to make your own cycle calendar if needed.Show lessDeveloper Response
