It suddenly stopped texting me
Today, it just suddenly stopped texting me reminders. Why?? And now the app keeps booting me out when I try to go into it
exactly what i wanted
this app is exactly what i was looking for, i like that i can customize the reminder with whatever i want and the sex positivity is a huge bonus! i also love that it’s not pink and frilly like so many other apps of its kind
Incredibly inconsistent daily reminders
This app is supposed to send you a daily notification to take the pill. It definitely DOES NOT. DO NOT RELY on this app for that. I have to put separate reminders in my phone’s calendar because this is not reliable at all. Otherwise, I do like the daily messages and links it sends.
The reminder is great, the articles attached, not so much
I love the Flo app bc it did way more than just remind me to take my pill, but then unfortunately it glitched and stop
So I tried Bedsider, does what it’s supposed and sends the notifications!
But I dread opening the app to clear the banner. This time the article was “100 reasons not to have kids; they include vomit and stepping on legos”
Hi, you realize people with children already take BC correct? And some people don’t even take it for that reason (ie: I take it for my skin and cycle to be stable)
I know it’s trendy and edgy to be “cHiLdFrEe” but maybe just stick to posting medical/science based articles.
Im looking for new reminder app 🤙🏼✌🏼

Miss the Text Reminders
I know it is hard to please everyone, especially when we all have such differing opinions, needs, wants, and or preferences. HOWEVER, the app is terrible!
When I was in college I had the text message reminders and it was great!!! Then I switched from the pill to an IUD. Several years later when I realized the IUD isn’t for me and I went back to pill, I went back to the handy dandy Bedsider. The notifications wouldn’t come through half of the time and the other half of the time I wouldn’t clear the days before notification, so it wouldn’t make a difference when the next notification came through.
I am OCD and have to read texts messages and emails ASAP to clear the notification. It doesn’t bother my OCD when an app (that’s in a group) has a notification that didn’t come through as an alert. I miss the old Bedsider!! Now on to another birth control reminder system....

Crashes
It was good for like 10 minutes, until it started closing unexpectedly. Disappointed!!
Love it
I love my Bedsider app. It’s consistent and adorable. Everyday I get a banner reminder at my set time and when I open it I get to read a super cute little message. Today my message was a link to an adorable video about sea lions and it said “you need this video about a sea lion rescue center in your life. Trust us, you need it.” And everyday the message is different and equally as fun, creative, and cute.
The only negative thing I have to say about the app is that the notifications I receive about reminding me to take my pill are not as eye catching as i was hoping. I would recommend making them a little more colorful or creative. Maybe add a text tone option so you get to pick the noise your phone makes when you receive your reminder. And possibly make an option to have the message sent more than once at different set times so there’s no chance of forgetting your pill.

Bedsider
Not useful, not helpful for remembering NuvaRing. I can’t tell if I just don’t see it or if the app forgets to remind me, but either way it ends up not being helpful.
Super disappointing
I’ve never written a review for an app before, but I had to share my thoughts for this one. This app was referred to me by my doctor when I first got birth control I was excited to know that something will be helping me keep track of my birth control. Then to my disappointment I noticed an irregularity in my notification reminders. Luckily I caught this mistake early but this app DOES NOT send you reminders on the right days or anything. I’ve already spoke to my doctor to definitely not recommend this app to anyone, and I’m letting you know now too. Don’t use this app.

0 stars
If I could give the app 0 stars I would. Unlike their texts back in the day this app does nothing. I put my reminder for 2pm looking for something that would help me for my busy traveling lifestyle (the texts always came through on you actual time zone no matter where u are) but the entire week I tried the app it didn’t even ring to notify me. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS APP. DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS APP.

Stopped Working
Stopped sending reminders after the first month, even after resubmitting information. Missed my ring change twice.
Ugh
Terrible. Texts were so much better.
Only one thing I would change...
As a woman on the combo pill I have a week of placebos on my packet. I do not take the placebos, therefore it is useless for me that the app reminds me to take my pill during this time. My only wish is that they would allow you to have the week you are on your period NOT send you reminders if you choose. Otherwise LOVE the app and never forget my pill!

Not what it says
Well this app was perfect until it decided to completely automatically change my entire patch cycle from a Monday to a Tuesday. It is literally all over the place and 100% incorrect so I will have to delete.
Not even receiving notifications
At first when Bedsider switched to in app notifications I was disappointed, now I’m literally not even receiving those. In settings I have my notifications turned on. The app has one job and it is not doing it. Thanks to this app I have missed my Nuva ring and had to restart 3 different times, which is extremely frustrating. I’m really disappointed.

What happened to the fun random text messages!?
Terrible
I used this while on the pill, it rarely sent me reminder messages & when it did it was long after my alert time. Now I’m on the ring and they don’t have an option for the 21 day script I’m on, only the “regular” 28 day...
Very helpful
If it wasn't for this app, i would've missed all my pills. Very helpful and useful. It would've gave it 5 stars if it had an alarm to alert me better.
Great app, some bugs
I LOVE this app. I'm on the Nuvaring and this app has definitely helped me keep track of my in/out schedule. In the past I was relying on remembering when I last put it in based on what happened that day... Not very reliable. I'm very grateful for this app. HOWEVER, it does have a bug in which on every "out" week the notification reads "Put a New Ring In!" when it should be saying "Take Out Your Ring!" - so that has definitely thrown me off before but thankfully the calendar shows one icon for "in" and one icon for "out" to keep me on schedule.

Helps me remember!!
I really like this app and personally it actually really helps me remember when I need to take my pill. Plus it has funny messages so I wake up with a smile.
