needs accurate terminology
I the symptom tracker has been helpful and I’ve noticed a number of patterns I wasn’t expecting which helps me be more accepting and compassionate towards myself, BUT that being said, I really wish the phases were named by their legitimate, scientific name and not the cute names like “Rise” and “Shift.” It feels less empowering (and less convenient having to find the true scientific name for such phases from other sources). It’s been mentioned before and the developers have alluded to taking it into consideration for updates, but nothing has come of it Update: over a year later with multiple other users requesting the same thing and multiple developer responses, yet no changes to the phase names at all. I got a different appShow lesscellioyt
Developer Response
Hello 👋 Thank you for your feedback - we really appreciate it while we continue to improve the app. So glad to hear you've been able to use the custom logging feature to discover patterns in your cycle. We've been trying to incorporate the scientific names of the phases throughout the app more and more in the new content we've been adding, and hope to be able to address the rest of the existing content soon.It’s just okay
It’s a little sloppy/overwhelming to look at and use. I wish they’d simplify the look and make it more intuitive. I also agree with others that I don’t need to use alternative words for the medical terminology of my cycle - in fact, I’d rather normalize saying “I’m in my literal phase right now” instead of “reflect” or whatever. The notifications are also seemingly random. If I’m menstruating, the app says my hormones are at an all time low at this point in my cycle, however, the notifications Im getting are about going out and being social due to higher hormone levels…hello? Which one is it? My “rest” phase or not? Why is it so hard to make a cycle app that is simple, easy to use, and accurate? Also to charge for it is ridiculous. We already have to buy products for a bodily function we can’t control- now I have to pay to inaccurately track it? F off tbh. 🙃Show lessUrbanDoe
Love the symptom tracker
And especially the option to add custom symptoms to track, it has been so incredibly helpful and I’ve noticed a number of patterns I wasn’t expecting which helps me be more accepting and compassionate towards myself
