Love this app! Super comprehensive and has everything you need to track your IVF cycles. I love they community feature that allows you to ask questions and connect with the other women using the app. I also appreciate that they are constantly releasing upgrades and improving the app based on feedback. Even though my IVF journey is over for now, one feature that would have been a “nice to have” would be the ability to follow or search for certain users. It’s amazing to connect with other women and sometimes you want to follow up, offer words of encouragement and checkin on their journeys. Currently unless you favorited that initial conversation there is no way to find them again until they post a question. Again not a must have but it would go a long way to building a sense of community.

Thank you so much for the feedback Arianda. We have been working on a community upgrade for a while now and hopefully it will release in early 2023. We're so glad we, and our community, could be a part of your journey. ❤️❤️The idea is great here but the execution needs some work. App itself is clunky - upon creating an account - it sends you a verification email which won’t work, and the instructions it gives for resetting your password you just created, won’t work. But after you reach out to support, you’re good to go and now the fun starts.. upon opening this app for the first time there’s a feed and right up top - someone’s positive pregnancy test. No way to remove this. If you think it’s just a random one time, open the app the next day, ANOTHER ONE. If you’re like me, and this is triggering after multiple failed rounds of IVF, miscarriage from IVF, etc, stir clear of this one. I don’t need yet another app to slap me in the face with others success, Facebook does that enough. You would think a fertility app would do better, but honestly, don’t bother - the features of this app aren’t that great. It’s honestly just another place to add things but if you have the calendar app and someone you’re tracking your cycle - this is just duplicate. The calendar doesn’t sync, and there’s no total view of everything, it’s all in different screens. Triggers all over the place aside, just isn’t a good UI, didn’t add any ease or anything revolutionary to my IVF plate. Deleted.

Hi Kristen, Totally understand that a positive test can trigger after loss. The homepage has the latest posts from our community section, and the women using Embie share with one another their struggles and their joys, which at times can be their embryo status or in this case a positive pregnancy test. You can block the post from your feed - but totally understand if you needed to delete the app.
Edit: as of Jan 23rd, the option to hide the community on the homepage is available. creating a log in takes 10 mins and they made me make 3 accounts because the system wasn’t recognizing the account I just made
I like the app, but it seems really clunky. Half the time I go to check off meds for the day the app just closes and when I am able to check stuff off, it’s really slow to load. Like I can’t just go down the line and check off all my meds in the morning. I have to check one, stop, wait for it to load the check mark, move onto the next one. Any chance we could make it a little more responsive? Other than that I like the app.

Update: Should be running much faster now :) Hi! thanks for the feedback. We're on it! If you have more details to share about where you're experiencing a slow load, please share it with us at info@embieapp.comCan’t even scroll to the bottom of the app to create an account…..
Doesn’t stay on long enough
Can be difficult to navigate and it would be nice to have a calendar feature to look at what was logged each day.
Developer Response
Hi, thanks for the rating. There's a calendar in the app and you can see what was logged for appointments, medication and symptoms in it each day that you've entered it. Please let us know if you need any help.I tried to use this app how they never sent the verification email 🤷🏾♀️
I am so happy I have Embie, it allows me to be keep everything in app instead of going all over the place even though I love writing it down this is definitely a better alternative when I don't want to tote all my journals around. Thanks so much for this application, I can't wait to store more information. 💙

So glad we can spare your arms the need to hold all that paperwork! Wishing you luck with your upcoming treatments ❤️The Embie app is a great way to keep everything organized in a centralized spot...test results, side effects, medication dosage, and appointments. Staying organized is key to fertility treatments and Embie is a great way to do that!!
