The worst

Lost my data after years of use. Don’t recommend

Love this tracker

So easy to follow, give you reminders of when your cycle is about begin, fertile and non fertile windows. On point every time.

This is the best app I have ever used.

It’s so easy and simple to use

Data Lost

I’ve been using this app since 2013. I really only used it to help me remember when to expect my period, which was helpful. (I used a different method when my husband and I wanted to get pregnant.) I continued to use the app throughout my pregnancy to keep notes about different milestones of my pregnancy. Of course, I didn’t enter a new cycle date until after my baby was born. When my cycle returned, I entered that new date (about a year after my last cycle) and ALL my previous data disappeared. This had never happened before when I entered new cycles. When I emailed customer support, they said that unless I downloaded reports, there was no way to see previous data. I had used this app for FIVE years and never downloaded reports and could ALWAYS see my previous data. And now when I want to look back at my notes to record some things in my daughter’s baby book, I can’t because for some reason, the app just decided to delete everything. Obviously there was some glitch, yet I’m not thrilled that the “development team” can’t do anything to recover my lost data, apparently. I won’t be using CycleBeads anymore.

Response from developer

We are sorry that this happened and are looking into it to ensure it won't happen to others. We do not collect personal information from our users which is why we are unable to restore your cycle history. While this is a benefit in terms of privacy, it unfortunately means we don't have your data. Please know that CycleBeads will continue to give you accurate information going forward as long as your cycles have returned to their regular range. 5 years is a long time! We hope you'll stick with us!
