Sehr schade

Die app ist nicht nutzbar ohne das man zahlt! Mindestens seine zahlungsdaten muss man angeben sonst geht garnix, zumindest für mich die das nicht tut, und sie wissen die leute haben schon mega viel zeit in die einstellung gesteckt sich gefreut usw leider ein reindall mal sehen ob es ähnliche apps gibt da die idee toll ist

Response from developer

Es tut uns leid, dass sich Lively nach der ganzen Einrichtung für Sie wie ein Reinfall angefühlt hat. Das sollte nicht passieren. Die Basisfunktionen sollten ohne Abo nutzbar sein. Wenn Sie ohne Zahlungsdaten nicht weiterkommen, schreiben Sie uns bitte an support@livelycycle.com, damit wir prüfen können, wo es hakt. Danke, Medina, Lively Team!

Why do you always need to pay.

Absolutely hate when you can’t do anything without paying. I’ll stick to my Flo app

Response from developer

I’m sorry Lively felt blocked behind a paywall. That’s frustrating when you just want simple cycle tracking. The core tools can be used for free, while Premium is optional and helps us keep Lively private, ad free, and improving. We’ll work on making this clearer. Take care, Medina, Lively Team!

Not worth a subscription

This app looks wonderful and I'm sure it would be extremely helpful as someone who lives with PMDD.
I would pay a one time fee for an app that is unlikely to have major updates or changes that benefit the user but it is not worth $50 a year. Such a shame.

£30 a month is so expensive

period tracker apps should be free. some of us girls don’t know much about our periods and menstrual cycles. especially younger girls. this is feeding on the innocence and the need to learn.

All of these different period tracker apps preach about ‘women made period apps’ but they’re all a stupid price a month.

All women agree sanitary towels and tampons or any menstrual products should be free, so should the apps!

liked it until it forced me to pay

make a free version 🫩

Response from developer

I’m sorry it felt like Lively was paid only. You can use Lively for free for core cycle tracking, and Premium is optional for extra insights. If anything is blocking you from the free parts, please email support@livelycycle.com and we’ll look into it. Thanks, Medina, Lively Team!

LIVELY

I love this app it’s amazing it give you helpful tips on food to eat on different cycles what to do and how to move I love it

unnötig

man muss direkt ein abo abschließen tot

Response from developer

Es tut uns leid, dass es so rüberkam, als müsstest du sofort ein Abo abschließen. Das sollte nicht der Eindruck sein: Die wichtigsten Trackingfunktionen kannst du kostenlos nutzen, Premium ist optional für zusätzliche Einblicke. Wir schauen uns an, wie wir das im Startprozess klarer machen können. Alles Gute, Medina, Lively Team!

Disappointed

U see the adverted get a period app owned my women, so I download but oh no I have to pay to use it. It’s not necessary to charge for the whole app. If ur really hear for women MAKE IT FREE!! (That’s very manly of u)

Not worth it

You have to pay to be able to use the app. I can’t rate the app itself as I refuse to pay for an app when there are so many free ones also women have to pay for tampons and pads etc when we shouldn’t have to so go pay for a period tracker app I don’t agree with. You start off by filling out some information about your period and cycle and then it asks you to pay a monthly fee or yearly subscription

A Partners Perspective

My wife uses this to track her cycle which she has said has been very helpful. My main criticism is with the feeling/sex drive part of the partner side: It should reset DAILY, and tell the main user that it did, or at least have that as an option. My wife didn’t know that it just stayed at whatever she last set it to until I showed her. Which did lead to some uncomfortable situations where I thought she was in a better mood because it looked like she had set it as such, but it was just a holdover from days before. Every morning it should reset to basically show no data, and prompt the partner of the period-have to “nudge” or something.

This app not for free

Awful to download, answered on 20-30 questions for them they will say - 7d free and we will charge you! Say from first that you are not for free!!!

After all this time????

After years of using this app, suddenly I come to find my tracking all this time is behind a paywall. You can’t even access the app anymore without paying! I feel BETRAYED! A girls girl would never do this, they must’ve been bought out by a man. Hate to see it. Guess I’m flying blind this cycle!

Very useful

Love how it asks you important questions. I’m excited to see how this app holds up.

Good for tracking

Good app for tracking and predictions. The prompts have saved me a few times to prepare for my time of month when I’ve been overly busy to keep track myself. Was able to see when my period was predicted for a travel period also.

partner syncing

This app is so great! but when my partner tries to use the widgets, it will not tell him the accurate day of my cycle that i am on. it typically will just sit at "day 6" on his widget and never change.

Terrible

Awful just awful disgusting yuck useless

SCAM ALERT

They “offer” 7 days trial but THEY CHARGE RIGHT AWAY THE AMOUNT 🤬

Response from developer

Hi Hiboune, that would feel incredibly frustrating, especially when you expected a 7 day trial. Trials and charges are processed by the App Store, so we cannot take payment directly or issue refunds from our side. Please request a refund through Apple, and if you send us the receipt at support@livelycycle.com, we’ll help you check what happened. Take care, Medina, Lively Team!

joke

you want me to pay to track my own period 😂😂😂😂😂

The simplicity of the app makes consistency easy!

I’ve tried other tracking apps before and never been able to use one for more than a week; but I’ve been using lively for over a year now and I’m noticing patterns from my body I definitely wouldn’t have ever given thought to. I love the recommendations on food and activities for different times in your cycle, it inspires me to focus on supplementing with the food I eat rather than just eating what’s around.

There’s a few additions I’d love to see: an optional display of the lunar cycle would be great! I usually have to switch to weather app to double check but it’s hard to go back and check previous cycles. A sleep tracker would be a game changer also, hormones control sleep for women so it’s an important symptom. An option to add the amount of hours or times you’ve been asleep, if you dreamt/ dream journal/ and sleep promoting suggestions if it’s something that’s out-of-whack.
Anyway, thanks for making such a useful app!

Response from developer

Reading that Lively has stayed useful for over a year is wonderful, especially helping you notice body patterns and choose foods that support each cycle phase. Lunar cycle and sleep tracking ideas are so thoughtful. Please add them in the in app Suggest Feature section so our product team can see the details ✨ Much appreciated, Medina, Lively Team!

Incredible

I love this app so much. I have recommended it to so many of my girlfriends, as an alternative to the “traditional” cycle apps. Lively is so much more. Learn the phases of your cycle, what to eat, how to move, and little lifestyle tips along the way. Partner sharing option, and also doubles as a pregnancy app when that chapter of life begins. As a woman tracking the cycles of life, I’ll never use another app again.

This is such a beautiful note to read. We’re thrilled Lively feels like more than a traditional cycle app, from phase guidance and food and movement tips to partner sharing and pregnancy support when life shifts. Your recommendations to your girlfriends mean so much 🤍 Thank you, Medina, Lively Team!
