### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2026-07-30, version 1.3*

Absolutely rubbish, no info available on how to use the app and I’ve been stuck in the power phase for nearly 20 days.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-06-17, version 1.3*

Hasn’t moved beyond the power phase and I don’t see any way to manually advance it. Has lots of potential but since it’s not been updated in 3 years it’s obviously not a priority which is disappointing

### 1/5 — No menopause help

*2026-04-10, version 1.3*

Trying to fast for hell with menopause, nope. This app won’t be of any value.

### 2/5 — Start of last period?!?

*2026-03-25, version 1.3*

I can’t get past the first screen because I’ve not had a period since 2016 and the app won’t let me select a year prior to 2026. Bummer

### 1/5 — Doesn’t do anything

*2026-03-04, version 1.3*

The concept behind this app could be strong, but the functionality is limited. 

It’s not interactive, largely just a small collection of informational content you can read in less than a 5 minutes that’s already covered in the book. I was hoping for more personalised features, tracking tools, or dynamic guidance that would make the app experience different from simply rereading some of the simpler material. 

The design and user experience could also be more polished and intuitive. With more interactivity and added value beyond the book, this could become a much more engaging and useful tool.

### 2/5 — Kinda cheap

*2026-02-21, version 1.3*

It should say the day of the cycle you on so you know what’s coming for the next phase and also should include a carb counter. This ingenuity the most basic app

### 1/5 — More information needed

*2026-02-20, version 1.3*

I’m post menopause, you can select last date of period or choose “Moon Cycle” looked everywhere in app.  I assume I should select Moon Cycle, but couldn’t find anything to confirm.  At this point, I’ll be deleting the app.

### 3/5 — Great info- needs more settings

*2026-02-20, version 1.3*

For those of us with shorter and irregular cycles, would appreciate an option to add that to the settings. If that were added, this app would be amazing!

### 1/5 — Not accurate

*2026-01-02, version 1.3*

This app gets stuck on a certain cycle. Should have options to add start and end of cycle to make it more personalized

### 1/5 — Needs Work

*2025-12-15, version 1.3*

Love being able to reference what phase I’m in, but there are definitely some bugs that need to be worked out. When I hit day 16, the app shows “Day 20 - Bleed.”  Also, it would be nice to have a few actual food suggestions (not just supplements) for each phase.
