Misleading free trial and awful customer service

I signed up believing I was getting the advertised seven-day free trial, only to be charged immediately. After contacting support, I was eventually told that the trial only applies to annual subscriptions, not monthly ones. This distinction certainly wasn’t clear to me when signing up.

What made the experience worse was the customer service. I had to explain the same issue repeatedly, received generic responses that completely missed the point, and was eventually addressed by someone else’s name. Rather than properly acknowledging my concerns, I was simply directed to Apple for a refund.

For an app that positions itself as an advocate for women’s health and wellbeing, the lack of care, transparency and understanding is particularly disappointing.

A terrible first impression. I certainly wouldn’t recommend it based on my experience.

i’m a little bit sad that we have to pay for an app that can help us keep on track on our periods, like ?? i don’t get why we always have to pay for everything, even to do pilates, all type of sports actually, disappointing.

Response from developer

I hear you. It feels frustrating when basic health and movement tools keep asking for payment, especially for something as personal as tracking your period. Lively can be used for free with the essentials, and Premium is optional. Subscriptions help us keep the app private, ad free, and improving without selling your data. Take care, Medina, Lively Team!

Não há função gratuita

Instalei porque li em uma resposta do suporte do Lively que haviam funções gratuitas. Entretanto, isso se provou falso quando terminei de responder as perguntas base do aplicativo. Peço que retirem essa informação aparentemente falsa e avisem que é um aplicativo pago.

Response from developer

Oi Medeiros, sentimos muito pela frustração. Você tem razão em esperar clareza antes de responder tudo. O Lively tem recursos gratuitos e o Premium é opcional, mas se a tela final fez parecer que o app só funciona pagando, precisamos revisar essa comunicação. Pode escrever para support@livelycycle.com para olharmos isso? Cuide-se, Medina, Lively Team!

Beautiful but simple

It’s a lovely looking app but the “insights” are so simple and general that it’s not been useful for much other than tracking. Feels like a $4 app, not a $40 one. Won’t be renewing

Response from developer

Hi cgram, we’re sorry the insights felt too general. Lively should feel helpful beyond tracking, especially at that price, and it’s disappointing we missed that for you. We’re working on making guidance more personal and practical. If you’d like, send what felt missing to support@livelycycle.com. Take care, Medina, Lively Team!

App worth it

I have been using for 2 years and i absolutely love it, affordable and informing, i appreciate a women run and owned platform!! Easy tracking, understanding and overall just wonderful.

Amei

Até o presente momento está incrível

Response from developer

Que bom saber que sua experiência até agora está incrível ☺️ Esperamos que o Lively continue te acompanhando de um jeito leve e útil. Agradecemos muito, Medina, Lively Team!

Abzocke

An sich eine nette Idee, nur leider nicht kostenlos. Am Anfang muss man sich erstmal durch minuten-langen Müll durchklicken bis man die App tatsächlich öffnen kann.
Und dann muss man direkt ein Abo abschließen bevor man die App überhaupt nutzen kann… Sehr frech und schade

Response from developer

Es tut uns leid, dass der Start sich so zäh und aufdringlich angefühlt hat. Lively sollte nicht den Eindruck machen, dass ein Abo Pflicht ist: Die Grundfunktionen sind gratis, Premium ist freiwillig. Dein Feedback zum langen Einstieg nehmen wir ernst und prüfen, wie wir das klarer und kürzer machen können. Danke, Medina, Lively Team!

Beautiful app

I love the design of this app and the helpful tips. I think it’s very easy to navigate and has a great array of features.

I wish it had a birth control tracking/reminder feature so I can get rid of Flo once and for all!

Overall very good and pretty app!

Changed my life.

I’m a real person not a bot. I have used the app about a year now. At first it was just kinda there like many apps but then I started to track more and more symptoms and I learned more about myself this year than I have in the last 30. I’m glad that when my daughter gets her period I will have an easy and effective way to understand her and help her understand herself. This app does so much more than track your cycle. It teaches you how to ride the dragon.

Gerne ergänzen

Die App ist wirklich gut. Mir persönlich fehlen aber einige Stimmungen: wütend, gereizt, müde, unausgeschlafen, genervt, glücklich, etc. Bisher habe ich die Auswahl nur zwischen sozial und antisocial oder Energie niedrig/ mittel /hoch. Eine größere Auswahl an Stimmungen fände ich schön

Response from developer

Hi Miedziana, danke für deine lieben Worte und den konkreten Wunsch. Mehr Stimmungen wie wütend, gereizt, müde oder glücklich würden das Tracking wirklich feiner machen. Du kannst die Idee auch direkt in der App unter „Suggest Feature“ einreichen ✨ Danke, Medina, Lively Team!

money grab

can’t use without paying

Enganação

Ao baixar você não é sinalizado de que o app não faz absolutamente nada se não for pago. Compras no app é diferente de não conseguir abrir o app sem uma compra, deveria ficar mais claro que é um app pago.

Response from developer

Sentimos muito pela surpresa ao baixar. A intenção não é impedir o uso: o Lively tem recursos essenciais gratuitos, e o Premium é opcional. Se você ficou presa numa tela de compra e não conseguiu continuar, isso não deveria acontecer. Pode nos escrever em support@livelycycle.com para verificarmos? 🙏 Cuide-se, Medina, Lively Team!

Don’t forget to cancel trial

They won’t refund this app if you forget to cancel your trial.

paid

won’t let me in without paying

Response from developer

I’m sorry it felt like you had to pay before getting in. Lively does include free access for the essentials, and Premium should be optional. If you’re stuck on a screen that won’t let you continue, please message support@livelycycle.com so we can check what’s happening and help you get in. Take care, Medina, Lively Team!

I LOVE IT

Highly recommended I have birth control in my periods are so irregular omg this saved me.

Nearly perfect

Extremely useful, love that I can customise my observations and tracking.It’s also very pretty.

Not free

Seems like a great app, just wish it was free💔

Great app!

This is a great app with a lot of options a perfect way of tracking, I wish they would maybe send you an email on what your tracking, but overall I absolutely love it. I don’t utilize it enough. I plan to learn more and do more soon but I’ve been using it for a few months and I absolutely love it. Would I pay a substantial amount for it no. To be honest, I could totally live but if they found a way to integrate it with your regular calendar and help predict what your moods are going to be throughout the month I think it would be worth it. Very well thought out app whoever created this was definitely thinking about the person who would be using it. It is definitely user-friendly.

Great app only having one problem

I love this app! I am currently on the free plan and even with just that it is amazing!

My only problem is it isn’t letting me go back and edit period dates to make sure they are accurate☹️
I have abnormal periods and there is one specifically that lasted a month long, I logged it in the app as that when I first logged it. The app went back and edited my dates making it look shorter. I’ll go in and edit period dates and put in the correct length and when it ended and when I click save, it doesn’t change anything. I’ve tried everything to try and fix this but it won’t let me put in the actually end date of that period so I am unable to log my data completely accurately!

Is there any way to fix this?

Inaccurate. Money Hungry

This app was always inaccurate and its measure only got more distorted over time! It got so bad that we stopped using it entirely. Once we attempted canceling their services. They insisted on charging us! Overall a poor app and an anxiety inducing experience. I recommended this app to NO ONE. These positive ratings are fabricated!
