Occasionally my cycle changes and will be before or after the range the app predicts. What drives me nuts is I will log that start day that is outside the range the app predicts and the app will say “predicted” Umm not you didn’t. Otherwise the app is fine but I feel like it’s overboard with chat board info ### 1/5 — Too many adds and cannot view historical logs *2026-04-21, version 12.0.1* This was a great app until a it became an advertisement; always seeking to gain money with subscriptions. And I cannot view old logs unless I pay for a subscription which was never an issue until recently. ### 1/5 — Almost unusable *2026-04-20, version 12.0.1* I got this app as a back up to my main one to double check dates / predictions or I’d have cancelled already. It’s so clunky with so many ads, pop ups, and an overwhelming dashboard that is not intuitive. ### 2/5 — Ads Everywhere *2026-04-04, version 12.0.1* Ads are plastered over every screen and if you pay for no ads they still advertise their absurdly priced products. Go with the app Flo instead. ### 1/5 — NOT SAFE FOR KIDS *2026-04-02, version 12.0.1* The functionality for period tracking is amazing and I was really looking forward to cycle education with my girls, but there is an EXTENSIVE and highly sexually graphic forum section, that is specifically for “sex stories” “masturb@t!on stories”, etc. it’s literally smut. Further, there are several posts on there with requests to chat and meet up. PREDATOR CENTRAL. Why in the world would a period tracking app need to host sexually explicit forums? It’s nuts. I’m so disappointed. Please beware. ### 1/5 — Dolandırıcılar!! *2026-04-01, version 12.0.1* Edit2: ödemeyi kartımdan çektirmediğim halde ancak yine de aboneliğim iptal edilmedi. Mevcut uygulamalarımı güncellemeden kullanamadığım için mecburen ödeme yaptım geri alırım diye ancak ücret iadesi sekmesi açılmıyor bile. Siz dolandırıcısınız!!! Ödemeyi tl cinsinden gösterip $ olarak tl ye çevirip 2500₺ resmen çaldınız. İptal seçeneğini koymuşsunuz ama yıllık aboneliği iptal edince ücret iadesi sekmesi açılmıyor. Dolandırıcılar! Hırsızlar! Her yere şikayet edeceğim!! Edit: uygulama geliştiricisine mail de attım ancak hiç bir şekilde dönüş yapmıyorlar. bu aboneliğimi iptal edin ve beni/ kredi kartımı rahat bırakın. Yıldızımı bire düşürüyorum. Merhaba. Yanlışlıkla satın alım yaptım ancak ödemeyi iptal ettim. Uygulamayı kullanmıyorum. Fakat kartımdan hala ödeme alınmaya çalışılıyor. Apple ile iletişime geçemiyorum hata veriyor. Uygulama geliştiricisi olarak lütfen yardımcı olur musunuz. ### 4/5 — I like it but *2026-03-31, version 12.0.1* The adds are annoying!! ### 1/5 — Nope *2026-03-18, version 12.0.1* They lied it is not free they make you think it is free but it is not do not get this app ### 2/5 — Used to love it *2026-03-09, version 12.0.1* This app was SO HANDY and HELPFUL for years! I loved it! Recently forced an update on me and the new format is absolutely AWFUL. There’s waayyyy too many pop ups and cover ups trying to convince you to pay for upgrades. The purpose of the app for me (tracking symptoms and cycles) has become so difficult to even access and view that I don’t even want this anymore :( I see there’s another update so I’m going to do it. Can hardly get worse. If it’s not any better, I fear I will have to say my good byes after all this time :( ### 1/5 — No longer cares about you *2026-02-28, version 12.0.0* This app used to be completely free. I loved it! I have used it through pretty much every pregnancy, practically my entire adult life. Then they made it subscription based and limited the options for the OG accounts. Fine. Annoying, but I can deal, since I have been using it for so long. But now they put up an advertisement that blocks the screen every time you try to do something. It is completely unusable now. I am extremely disappointed. They do not value their users. I’m done with this app. At least Ovia is still good to me. I prefer using at least 2 apps to track though, so now I will be looking for another one. I’m done with Glow and all their apps. ### 1/5 — About the app *2026-02-26, version 12.0.0* Too much ads and pop ups I have this app for 4-5 years and it seems they’re trying to push so many things and tracking so idk I’ll be changing elsewhere ### 1/5 — Too many popups *2026-02-22, version 12.0.0* The free version of this app has so many popups it takes 8-10 “clicks” to turn down options for buying the app before a user can complete a basic task like logging a period. ### 1/5 — Refusal to help *2026-02-16, version 12.0.0* I have used and loved the app for years paying for premium pretty early on- since becoming and suffering a miscarriage in December I have emailed and begged support for help to make the app stop sending me pregnancy reminders- I moved it to miscarriage logged it, turned it back to tracking - on off twice to no avail it just keeps sending me painful reminders that my baby won’t take a breath and there hasn’t been a single response email in MONTHS. ### 3/5 — Ads are ridiculous *2026-02-15, version 12.0.0* I’ve used this app for 5 years and in the beginning on my time using it - it was great. Did exactly what I needed which was tracking cycle and give me an idea of ovulation. It gave your fertility % of each day and was a useful tool. Now the ads are just insane. You can’t click anywhere without one popping up. And it doesn’t show half the info it used to. I understand you can pay for premium but once I hit an x once to close out an ad. I don’t want to do it literally every 3 seconds. It’s gotten very frustrating for a user just tracking the basics. ### 2/5 — Only using this because I have so much data here *2026-02-12, version 12.0.0* I’ve been using this app for years now. I preferred it when it was geared more for period tracking. They’ve tried to build “community” type aspects to it that have zero interest in and it now seems much more blatantly focused on people who are trying to get pregnant. Now when I open the app it usually loads their “shop” or their social community rather than the place you log your symptoms. And there are so many pups now that it’s quite frustrating. Also, there’s something very weird about happening when I try to type in the “notes” section of the daily log. You cannot type fast at all because it’s like it doesn’t detect all the character you are typing? You have to type very slowly or else you will get string of typos. This has been going on for years and I don’t know what’s wrong. I would change to a different app except I have like ten years of data here. :( I just wish there was a simple period/symptom tracking app without the bells and whistles. This app used to be great. ### 1/5 — Bring back Eve. *2026-01-30, version 12.0.0* When I first got this app I really liked it. I loved the fun quiz’s, now the layout is completely changed. It’s nice I get to keep my membership but it sucks that the layout has changed ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Age *2026-08-29, version 12.0.3* It is very stupid how you have to be 16 to be able to use the app, however it says it’s 12+ on the App Store. Women start their periods before 10 sometimes and still want to track it. ### 1/5 — Ads more Ads *2026-07-30, version 12.0.3* I just downloaded this app for the first time in 10 years, and the amount of ads is absolutely ridiculous. When I used it years ago, I don’t remember seeing anything like this. Seriously…..what does Pokémon go have to do with my period? These ads are completely unrelated, and you advertise you’re “FDA approved”. No wonder the app feels more like an advertising platform than something useful. I’ll be uninstalling it. Definitely won’t be using this app again. ### 1/5 — Network error *2026-07-28, version 12.0.3* For the last couple of weeks I keeping getting network error saying I do not have any internet when I do, the app will not let me do anything at all. I’ve closed it out and restarted my phone, still won’t work. ### 1/5 — Terrible now *2026-07-14, version 12.0.3* I’ve used this app for years and used to love it. Now with all the AI additions it’s completely inaccurate. Time to fine a better app. ### 1/5 — Just Freezes Up *2026-07-03, version 12.0.3* I used to have this app and it worked fine. Just downloaded it again and (after lots of troubleshooting) I could t make it work! Just kept freezing. ### 1/5 — Used to be great and reliable *2026-06-16, version 12.0.3* Used for years but I’d say the last 12 months it’s always glitching, very annoying! ### 1/5 — Clearly designed by men *2026-06-04, version 12.0.3* This app is terrible. The advice and articles were all clearly written by uninformed men. ### 1/5 — Overcharge on Premium Subscription *2026-05-28, version 12.0.3* The stated yearly cost for the premium plan was £2, but £34 was deducted from my bank account when I purchased it. This is deception and fraud, and I am requesting an immediate refund. ### 1/5 — Forcing Premium - I just want my account back *2026-05-02, version 12.0.3* Nothing like getting a new phone and attempting to log back in to your 5 year old account just to be forced to use the premium version. ### 1/5 — Do not buy *2026-04-25, version 12.0.1* Terrible community filled with rude people in an app that wants to you pay to track your period so they can sell your data ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My fave *2026-08-10, version 12.0.3* I love this app. ### 5/5 — Really awesome app *2026-04-24, version 12.0.1* I was using this app to track my period for about 2 years and it worked ok but since getting pregnant and switching the app to the pregnancy feature it has become a treasure trove of mindblowing information. Daily updates on exactly what is happening inside have really helped me connect to this pregnancy and empower myself to understand the process better. I love this app! ### 5/5 — Helped me have my Rainbow Baby! *2026-03-03, version 12.0.0* I personally love this app! I originally downloaded it March of 25’ because I thought the health app from Apple wasn’t tracking my periods right. I logged my last 4 periods in the app and the following month tried to conceive. I’d like to say it had my ovulation pretty accurate, as I got a positive pregnancy test April 20th! My due day was the day after my birthday, Dec 29th, and she arrived on New Year’s Day! I couldn’t be more happier with the result I got using this app :) Thank you to everyone at Glow! And if you’ve read this far, I’d also like to say that I used the free plan, which does come with some downsides like not being able to see insights on your cycles, but I personally didn’t find the need for it :) to see my pregnancy journey, check out my socials!

I believe everyone should download it and experience a healthy tracking system. ### 5/5 — Miss *2025-07-16, version 11.9.3* Fez on ### 5/5 — H. Erickson *2025-07-15, version 11.9.3* Still new to this app but it’s definitely worth it and super helpful! The ladies in the community are very nice and supportive of each other. My husband and I are trying for baby #2 and hoping this is our year to get pregnant. ### 5/5 — Well fine and useful! *2025-07-12, version 11.9.1* I love the app, one of the few worth using. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
