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.

Just started
I am enjoying the quiz and feel confident about the beginning of my weight loss journey
Great
Love this app!!
paid, greedy asf
would of been a good app if it was free for all, always check reviews before downloading, wasting my time
Can’t get passed the welcome
Spent the money….cant even get past the welcome. App freezes
Not worth it yet
A promising idea but there isn’t enough to make the price worth it. I would like to see more features and a better interface. It showed me macro goals once and then never again, and there’s no way to adjust your goal or profile. I have requested a refund, it’s not worth the money yet.
No free version
It doesn’t let you bypass the sign up for premium when you join. It won’t let you utilize whatever this app has to offer unless you pay. No thank you
Paid app
You can only use the app after paying. No chance to try it out or even see the layout. Also, very glitchy.
Broken?
I had been recommended this app by someone to try but I think there is a glitch — it gets stuck on the ‘I’m ready’ page and even after deleting and redownloading it does not seem to go any further
Should have read the Reviews!
It’s so unfortunate, the reviews are clear that the demand is there and the design is so cute but I couldn’t even log my food on day 1. So why was this launched?? I’d like a refund. Wish you all the best! I’ll be bsck when it does as advertised.
Glitchy
There was no trial for the app just had to pay, and it’s glitchy. I can’t enter anything in for tracking my protein etc…. Check in does not save if you answer no to a question. Why charge for an incomplete app?
Don’t bother downloading if you can’t pay for the app
It requires you to pay no matter what, theres no option to use it free. As a 16 year old who struggles with money, there is no way I can afford this app. I was hoping that this would be an app that I could actually use to help me with my PCOS struggle but, unfortunately, it makes you buy premium in order to actually use the app. Perhaps the app could have a free option for those in similar situations as me, it doesn’t even need to be as good as premium but having the option would be extremely helpful.

Empty
This app is empty. Made me pay for a subscription for an app that has literally nothing on it. There’s a total of like 10 recipes per diet and there’s no way to print up your food goals. If you take a photo it gives you a list of ingredients the AI thinks is in the food but you can’t edit that list or take ingredients off of it, I have tried so many times and different ways to change this. If you need a tutorial to use an app then add one. At the end of the day my point still stands, you are charging people to use an empty app. I’ll pay for an app when it’s done or actually has substance, not false promises.

Potential
The app seems to have potential. In the questionnaire it does not give me any option to indicate that I am currently breastfeeding before providing me with my daily calorie intake recommendation. I got to the part where it asked which subscription package I would like to move forward with. The options were a yearly subscription of $1.15/week or $9.99 for a weekly subscription. I am not inclined to pay $9.99 to try an app that doesn’t take my full hormonal situation or calorie needs into consideration.

waste of time and money
This is an awful, glitchy app that is not worth a single penny. Don't waste your time and money on it like I did.
Needs to be updated
The app has potential but there is a lot that needs to be updated. Logging food for one is ridiculous. It doesn’t calculate properly, no way to manually enter. If it calculates wrong you have to completely exit out of the app to cancel the entry. It’s just not user friendly at all. The concept is wonderful though.

Do not recommend
App does not do half what is in advertisement, I couldn’t figure out how to log food in the first place, and all support is in French. No American understanding

Une excellente Application pour contrôler ce que tu manges
