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

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
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).

I’m in my 30s and have just gotten off hormonal birth control after being on it for 12 years - I wanted to for health reasons and to just let my body do its natural thing. As my body regulates, I found I wanted to be able to track and understand my body more. This app is organized, educational, uplifting, validating and all the things I never knew I needed. I’m experiencing phases that I never really knew about or understood fully (especially going through my cycles naturally now) and I feel so much more in tune with my body. The creators of this app really put in so much work and time into curating an experience for their users that is personal and ACTUALLY helpful. Hands down favorite app of 2024, well done guys! 🙏🏼Show lessThe Mrs Nemeroff T

Hello 👋 Thanks so much for this great review and so happy to hear how using the Moody app has helped you. We value every piece of feedback while we continue working to improve the app. Please stay tuned for updates, and keep in touch on social for our latest @moodymonth. Best, Team MoodyUseful App - Just Needs Proper Terms
I love the app, it’s functional and helpful. The only suggestion I have is that I wish it used proper terms for cycle phases. It says things like ‘shift, rise, bleed’. When I’m trying to research nutrition or medical information for my cycle it’s all written as ‘Follicular, Luteal, Menstrual’. I would like an option to know what the actual proper term is for each phase so I can quickly look up the information I’m looking for. If it’s on the app already, I haven’t found it easy to locate.
Other than that minor suggestion, the app is great!Show lessStudent UF2016Alexis 1

LITERALLY GET IT. I love that this period tracker is simple, and straightforward. It doesn’t throw ads in my face, and provides extremely informational content without hiding it behind a paywall. I’m highly impressed with the daily check-in feature; it describes what your hormones are probably up to, and how that affects your body. The check-in’s have been spot on for me so far, and I’m SUPER grateful to have this reliable resource! My body is feeling its best now that I know how to help it :) Sidenote: I noticed in some reviews that people were being fussy about verbiage and some mentioned missing features and I adore the responsiveness of the developers, not only are they willing to improve but they’re also respectful! 10/10Show lessEnzerubebitakkun

Constantly changes your cycle information after you set it!
I used to love this app, but about a year ago, I was looking at my cycle calendar, and as I was looking at it, it changed not only the predicted next period date, but the information from my last period. I went in, changed this information back and saved it, and lo and behold, it did the same thing again! Over and over and over! It’s not been fixed since. Now, I can never trust the data that has been saved in the app because these bugs modify saved information from past cycles. I was just looking at my calendar now, and it changed me from the last day of my cycle (accurate) to the first day of my period. Beyond frustrating! Highly inaccurate and buggy.Show lessSue Theodora
Love the app: just one issue
I love this app very much to track my cycle and understand the different phases - it helps me so much to act and eat and rest intuitively. I have the pro version and I can comfortably say that it’s worth every penny if you feel like your hormones play a role on how you feel but cannot put a finger on why and how you feel that way.
My only issue with the app is that the notifications that I get are amazing, but there is no way of seeing these notification on the app itself. This becomes a bit annoying when I click on the notification hoping to see the rest of it and the app just brings me to the home page. If the developers fix this problem this app deserves 10 out of 5!!Show lessFlypnr1415
Locked out after update
I’ve been using this for a year or two now and it’s very helpful to keep track of symptoms and regularity, I like that there’s so many symptom options and that you can add journal entries to see what might affect the cycle that you wouldn’t think of at first.
I think the latest update may have messed things up? It logged me out I can’t log in anymore, tried changing passwords and logging in multiple ways but it keeps prompting me to create a new account and then also not allowing me to do thatShow lessInaccurate and harmful information
The app is built well and has a lot of content; however, it is grossly inaccurate in places.
Here are two examples. For menstrual phase, suggested yoga poses are twists and ab work. Midline twisting poses are suitable starting at day 6 in the cycle at the earliest(Rise stage according to the app) and ab work can start with a gentle progression on day 7 or 8 once the bleeding finishes and estrogen has had a chance to rise.
A second example is a reoccurring theme I noticed. In the daily check-in there are constant pushes to socialize in the second half of the cycle. Women are the strongest communicators around their ovulation time. Before, they take in inputs and the second half of the cycle is reserved for clearing and reflection. Communication at all times is not only unnecessary but can be counterproductive.
I deleted my account and the app and I feel deep grief for thousands of women who are exposed to this garbage posing as wellness.Show lessTanya Medukha
