User reviews

Buttons don’t work

The back button, menu and history tab does not work. You need to close the app to back to the main page

Valuable tool for those prescribing contraceptives

I use this often to assure that I am proving safe contraceptive care. Very valuable when prescribing contraception in complex situations.

Helpful resource

Great for quickly referencing CDC contraceptive guidelines and allowing assessment of multiple medical conditions to aid selection. The app gets updated along with new content regularly even though it says CDC Contraception 2016 at the top of the app.

2016

Great app. Most data hasn’t changed since 2016 but some has.

Too technical

This seems like it would be a great app for everyone to use and get accurate science-based info, for free. However, most of the prompts are medically abbreviated without an explanation. Maybe have this peer reviewed or tested in the community. Still a great idea.
