Leave a Review Flo Period & Pregnancy Tracker
Love this app
I actually love this app. I rarely buy apps or subscriptions to anything. I, like many others, really think long and hard before downloading an app and especially if I have to pay for it. I originally downloaded the app for ovulation tracking while trying to get pregnant. I found the tracking and inputting of info to be really easy. It took a few months to get enough info for an accurate reading, but the app mentioned this was necessary several times so I understood it took time. I’m also a healthcare professional so I have an understanding of how the body works. I also really liked the interactive health assistant feature. I found it to be really informative and liked clicking on the related articles to learn more. I love how all the articles are written or reviewed by licensed OBGYNs. The info/education is vetted by actual experts as opposed to info you get from just googling. Overall it’s really eased anxiety around the ovulation and conceiving process. It can be a stressful process, especially when things do go as planned. The educational info is really what keeps me coming back. Would highly recommend.Show lessToBlame
This app is ASTOUNDING!!
I honestly don't even have the words for awesome this app is. You can tell that the thought, time, and effort put into developing this app was phenomenal!!! A place where women from all backgrounds can come together to talk about ANY AND EVERYTHING and you find out that you all can relate; and the best part is that they respect your privacy without making you feel insignificant! They have physician advice to read over as well as anything that can be going with u from sex, cycles, relationships, kids, pregnancy, just life in general! Im so attached to this app and it's something I can just lay in the bed and do..... This is a great way to relax and open up and just talk with no judgement...And its predictions are pretty much spot on as far as dates of cycles, ovulations, etc etc... It takes you step by step as far as everything and its geared specifically FOR YOU and your body for whatever you could be going thru. I had the basic free plan but I opted for the yearly plan because it's well worth the money! You all have done an amazing job and I just want to say thank you so much! This app is def MY favorite!Show lessKLig89
I used to love this app way more
I got this app when I was a freshman in high school as they do not teach much about female cycles or anatomy. When I first got it, I found tons of useful information on the app and it was all free and amazing. I learned the different parts of the cycle and it helped me manage my symptoms better as well as understanding what’s going on with my body. While I understand that programs like these need funding in order to run, I find there is no need to bait people into paying for a subscription. Like the chat feature. It pops up prompting you to interact for a bit and making you think it’s going to tell you some useful information but then it tries to make you pay before you can access it. There shouldn’t be as much push for people to pay. It’s irritating especially for people who can’t afford more payments like myself. I would much rather there be a pop up when you open the app asking if you want to pay for premium rather than being tricked into thinking I’m going to be getting something useful for free. Also I am a strong believer that all the info on this app should be taught to girls in school or be free public access but google is not a reliable source and this app has loads to offer but for a price. It’s already bad enough that women don’t get taught anything about their own bodies and it’s a “luxury” to access this information.Show lessKylie12366

Hi Kylie, Thank you for sharing this. We’re sorry to hear you’re disappointed that we moved some features out of the free plan. Premium subscriptions fund the ongoing development of the app, while keeping the basics free for everyone. We welcome your feedback. Please email us at support@flo.health. Kind Regards, Flo Support TeamToo much for too little
I downloaded Flo when I was a sophomore in high school (now a sophomore in college) and I really enjoyed the app. Back then, the calendar of the app and it’s prediction capabilities were most appealing to me. All of the added perks that came along with Flo such as tracking your symptoms and the available informational articles were something that I enjoyed greatly. There were even little surveys that you could take that I enjoyed doing in my free time!
Now, it seems that the creators of the app care more for those who upgrade to the premium version than those who use it for free. While it is expected to have some in app purchases that accompany programs such as these, it is very disheartening to see that you can access virtually nothing without subscribing. While I do still only use the app as a way to track the regularity of my period, I feel that I would be inclined to use it more often if I knew there were more things that I could access that were free.
I also find it particularly annoying when I am using the automated messaging feature about something I am curious about with my cycle, I’m led on to believe I am going to get some answers. Instead I am given the go-around and can’t access the information without being pressured in to subscribing.
I really enjoyed this app when I first downloaded it, but I am now disappointed in the fact that there is visually nothing that can be accessed unless you subscribe :/Show lesskennaliz122

I love this app for tracking my period. As many other people said and I agree, the app is pretty accurate when predicting period start dates, ovulation dates, etc. It has been super helpful for me to track my period on this app because I can recognize consistent and non consistent patterns in my period. Whenever there are changes with my period, the app calculates that in and new predictions are still just as accurate. However, the only problem with this app is the constant push for the “premium subscription.” I get that many apps have that and it’s a part of making money, and I have no problem with the features that are specifically for premium members only. I personally am fine with just the core period tracking aspect of the app and that’s it. But everyday it offers the premium subscription when I open the app which can be annoying. I also hate getting a notification on my phone telling me “you may have tender breasts today, see why.” Especially since I’ve never had that symptom. But they push that notification to push an article that is for premium subscribers only. Other than the annoying monetization techniques they use, the app is really good and it has been super helpful to me.Show lessCierra Reeves

While we would be pleased to have you try Flo Premium, we value all of our users, whether they subscribe or decide to use the free version. Flo TeamEh
I like this app, it’s good for tracking period and ovulation, it’s very accurate. I actually got pregnant (after 3 years of trying with no luck) by tracking my ovulation through this app, and my doctor even said my due date was on point and everything, BUT I don’t think premium is worth the price, it’s not MUCH different than the free version and tbh it’s kind of unaffordable. Healthcare is already unaffordable as it is, but now this app is making it hard for all moms but especially young moms who just want access to information but are now having to pay outrageous prices for an app. I’m not saying it should be free because I understand that nothing is free, but I think they should have a more affordable option, and maybe even a student plan for moms in school. My premium plan didn’t give me very much more information than what I get from the What To Expect app, and that one is free and also offers more personalized information based on the gender of your baby. Overall I like the free version of this app and really appreciate that it helped me get pregnant, but I don’t like the price of the premium plan.Show lessmstridmnd
Best period tracker app ever
After 5 years of having an IUD, I finally had it taken out 18 days ago. I was so excited to have a period again! My period finally came, and I was able to track it on the Flo App. I’ve never tracked my period before in my life ( being 16 when I got the IUD ). As an adult now, this is my favorite app. It teaches so much that I’ve never known. I am using this app to help me recognize all phases of my menstrual cycle and to track my period, and to practice the FAM method for preventing pregnancy for when I have a boyfriend in the future. I am learning so much with this app, like recognizing symptoms of pre-ovulation and much more! I’m like, oh! That’s what that blob is ^ . ^ haha. Seriously it is teaching me so much about my body. After 5 years of the Mirena IUD causing depression, unnaturally produced hormones, depersonalization, and lack of control, getting it taken out along with downloading this app were two major improvements to my life this year! Being in control and knowing what’s happening when makes me love my period ❤️ Lastly, I the Flo App and recommend it to anyone who can get a period.Show lessmadipetronio
Not Accurate
This period tracker is not accurate, although I will say I only have the free version so not sure if this is the reason. I log my cycle every month yet this thing still seems to be off by 3 days minimum in predicting when my next cycle will start. I’ve been using this tracker for well over a year and even with all of this data, it still can’t predict when my cycle starts. There have also been 2 occasions when this tracker claimed I was 3 days late and I almost had a heart attack worrying that I was pregnant! It rly bothers me that there are ads online claiming to ease women’s minds because this supposedly gives them confidence in knowing when their period will arrive. Lies! Let me give an example; I recently went to a summer festival and bought a pair of off white shorts to wear. I specifically double checked this tracker to make sure the day I planned to go wouldn’t be on my cycle or otherwise there’s no chance in life I could wear those shorts. I was very happy to see Flo predicting my period to come in 3 days after my event! Fast forward to the day of the festival and as I’m taking a shower before beginning to get dressed, I notice that I’m actually starting to bleed. Wow. Thanks for nothing Once again Flo and now not only do I have my period, I have nothing to wear.Show lesssuckit3000
I reached my goal I can tell you that
So like many other girls I used to not track my period cuz I thought it would be a waist of time. I felt like it came when it wanted to cuz before flo my period sometimes lasted for two weeks and I got scared or it didn’t come at all for the whole month. It was acting weird so one day I ran across flo on some advertisement on Instagram and I decided to give it a try. After see how flo has the option to log when you think you may get conceived and when you have sex I started logging my information in a little more accurately. I kept taking a whole bunch of pregnancy strip test and I thought that the store was selling fake ones cuz they kept turning out negative and I was sexually active with not protection. Then one day I took the test think it’s no use it’s probably negative again and when I looked at that strip I was so excited to see a second pale line trying it’s best to hide from me but I saw it😁I was probably two weeks pregnant and I could tell because I tract the first day of my last period on flo. I’m still using it today to track my pregnancy!Show lessgigi4517
Cannot view without being bothered with the upgrade
Great app. It’s a shame they just won’t let you be. I understand asking for an upgrade but to be baited when I have a question is wrong. The auto assistant answers just enough of your questions only to shut you out before you get to the actual answer needed. I don’t believe stringing people along falls in line with their entire “we’ve got you!” “Women are awesome” “Women are great” “We are your friends” “We are here to help” mantras. An actual friend would do that. Now they’ve decided to hold my valuable time hostage and made me answer several questions before I could even view my cycle schedule. I’m a busy person and mom just like to rest of the moms out there and I had about 7 seconds (at that moment) to view my cycle calendar before my toddler got in to something. I wasn’t able to view my cycle calendar because of their making me jump through hoops. I ran out of time. I made time to write this review (I never write reviews and I especially don’t bother if it’s a bad one.) to tell other women to find another app. These people border on rude. Pretty shameful for software to come across as rude. But they irritated mo over and over again - no less than 100 times so I had to write my FIRST BAD REVIEW OF ANYTHING EVER. That’s how disappointed I am. It’s a shame. The function of the app is phenomenal.Show lessjsssqwerty
