Has Potential
I saw lots of traction thru instagram and tik tok regarding this app, but frankly i think its lacking in its features and just isn’t worth the money yet. With that being said, i think the potential is there but there are several features i’ve seen in other PCOS apps that i would really like to see integrated onto this one. I had high hopes and bought the year long subscription for $80 but after less than 24hrs of use i just don’t think it’s worth it or as user friendly as other PCOS apps ive used.
Pros:
- the idea: i love love love that it logs periods, tracks weights, has mindfulness, and allows for check-ins
- the yearly subscription isn’t a crazy fee: $80 is quite reasonable in theory BUT i think the app needs more development and to tighten its features before id recommend anyone to spend their money on it
- the quiz regarding your goals for using the app: i like that bc PMOS has varied symptoms and effects on every individual and not everyone has the same goals. I like that u have the option to tailor ur goals regarding if u want to lose, maintain, or gain weight and how much lbs u want to drop/gain
Features to improve/cons:
- the food log feature is quite underwhelming: prior to trying out this app, i used PCOS POLLY, and i love that u have an option to manually input food, scan barcodes, take photos of ur meals, AND edit the nutritional value if the AI in the app didn’t get it quite right. I hate that to log food, u have to do it in the moment via picture bc that’s not realistic for the average person. I can’t stop in the middle of a shift to snap a picture of the quick snack i’m eating in between tasks, so i find that i’m not able to accurately log my food. I also think that the PCOS Polly app AI feature where u can acc ask questions, receive recommendations, and tailor ur meals directly in ur food log is quite helpful and would love to see that implemented in this app
- habit tracking: i wish there was a feature to habit track things like taking ur inositol, exercise, sleep, etc.. in the app, bc then it would be more comprehensive regarding managing PMOS.
- Creating recipes: I know that the app has a small log of recipe ideas but i think it would be so nice to get a community going where users can create and share their recipe ideas. I know ensuring that everyone’s ideas are PMOS friendly may be a difficult, tedious, and unrealistic task but creating a community on the app would take managing PMOS to a whole new level.
- Blog option: i think having a blog/chat/thread option where all users could discuss their journeys, diagnosis, and stories would help create a community of women who support each other and help to encompass the emotional toll of being diagnosed with PMOS
- Apple health/fitness tracking implementation: ik this is a big ask but i think if u got to sync up ur data from whatever fitness/wellness tracker u use that would be so freaking awesome, as then u could get deeper realistic stats regarding ur overall wellbeing
- weight log: i could be wrong bc i didnt use the app for very long but when looking around, i didnt see a comprehensive weight tracking tool. I think weekly weight stats and reminders, such as “mondays before eating, weigh urself” and analyzing ur progress over a period of time would be a really awesome feature that i would personally want to see. i feel like if were tracking macros, being able to see progress in terms of scale would be nice. But at the same time, i understand that monitoring weight like that could have negative impacts on users’ mental health, selfesteem, and emotional wellbeing. I think if the creators are able to develop weight tracking features/logs that don’t come across too strict or promote ED behaviours that would really cool to see.
- journal/diary: another thing to help with the emotional management/mindfulness in the app would be a journal feature where u could check-in regarding emotions, feelings, energy levels, hunger, cramps, and other PMOS symptoms would help create a comprehensive app. I think not only managing the physical aspect of PMOS, but the emotional aspect as well would really allow women a space to fully manage and be in tune with their diagnosis as a whole.
Overall, i love the idea of the app but unfortunately don’t see myself using it at its current stage. I wish i had not purchased the year long subscription, but who knows maybe it’ll be worth it in the near future.

Glitchy Design & Unfair (Pay to Access)
I was really excited to try this app, since my PCOS has a huge impact on my life. However, after I finished entering my information, there was a pay-wall. It’s important to note that these payment options are really expensive. I decided to purchase a plan without a free-trial because I’ve been desperate for something to help support my PCOS symptoms. To my disappointment, the app has a large amount of glitches. I can’t log any meals because the button doesn’t work, and the app is just extremely hard to navigate on mobile. Obviously I understand that developers charge for apps to help support themselves and their families, but, the pricing for this app just makes no sense to me. PCOS is a hard condition to navigate, and those who are low-income could potentially not have access to doctors/medications, so some people might rely on apps like these. But, the pricing makes these secondary ways of managing PCOS unaffordable and inaccessible. I’m overall really disappointed with my experience, and I’ve already requested a refund.

Should have read the reviews
I thought this app would have helped me but I did not think I’d have to pay. I wanted a refund but the email provided to contact them does not work. I just want my money back because I shouldn’t have to pay this much to help me through this. I even spent another $9.99 to get passed through the app to see if I could contact them in the app but there’s no contact in there either. So I paid $59.99 and $9.99 for something that wasn’t worth it.
