Loyal

I have been using this app for a long time and it never disappoints. I look forward to seeing how I feel and what I should do to help myself throughout the day very helpful!

Amazing App

This app has the perfect set up to track your cycle. It gives tips and tricks for optimizing productivity in regard to your cycle which I love!! I struggle alot during my luteal phase and I love being about to look at the calendar and prepare for those harder days. I’ve learned so much about myself and how to care for myself as a woman.

Only cares for money

It’s a shame that people who cant afford to pay monthly/yearly for apps, that are important for their health, get no support. Maybe one day there will be a free app so everyone can have equal opportunities to learn whats best for their wellbeing.

Lively- Period Tracker, Cycle

Best App for my periods! Only App I will stand behind for period tracking. I have irregular periods and it still gets them on point! No other app has done that for me. This app feels like it knows me better than me some months. Definitely 10/10 and definitely will recommend to other women! <3

Behind a Paywall

Requires a subscription if you want HELPFUL information. Otherwise it’s just the calendar. I really wish they’d stop putting woman’s health behind a paywall. This is precisely why people are still sticking with the other App.

Response from developer

We hear your frustration. Women’s health info should feel accessible, not locked away. Lively includes free cycle tracking essentials, while Premium helps fund expert content, privacy protections, and ongoing improvements without selling data or relying on ads. Your point about genuinely helpful guidance matters, and I’ll share it with our team. Take care, Medina, Lively Team!

Widgets don’t work

My girlfriend asked me to get this app and everything works fine once I put the code in but the widget doesn’t update to show the proper day in the cycle.

Deceptive

While the app is good, I wasn't looking to get the premium version. I cancelled my subscription right before the free trial ended. However, they still charged me and now I won't get a refund as Apple won't refund me either. Very disappointed if i can't even trust that the options I select with this app won't even go through.

I wish it would notify my partner when I update my mood

I like the app so far, it has been very helpful.

I just wish it would notify my partner when I update my mood, them nudging me for it is totally fine! But when I answer to it I have to let them know and sometimes I can’t get to it right away and sometimes by the time my mood has changed again.

Does it have a way to see the graph tendency of my basal temperature?

So far I’ve not found a way to see the basal temperature in a graph like other apps :( and this is for me highly valuable, and I’d say that for the price of the membership, it should be a feature.

Response from developer

I can absolutely see why a basal temperature graph would matter, especially if that is a key part of how you track your cycle. It is not available right now, but this is helpful feedback for our team. Please add it in the Suggest Feature section or email support@livelycycle.com so we can log it properly 🙏 Thank you, Medina, Lively Team!

Für jede App mittlerweile Geld zahlen

Nichts kann man mehr so holen, an allem wollt ihr Geld verdienen!! Sogar um unsere Wohlbefinden zu tracken müssen wir mittlerweile zahlen

Response from developer

Es tut uns leid, dass Lively bei dir den Eindruck hinterlässt, als müsstest du für dein Wohlbefinden zahlen. Die Basisfunktionen zum Tracken bleiben kostenlos, Premium ist optional und hilft uns, die App ohne Werbung und ohne Verkauf deiner Daten weiterzuentwickeln. Wenn bei dir etwas gesperrt wirkt, schreib uns bitte an support@livelycycle.com. Danke, Medina, Lively Team!

Best period App

Absolutely stunning app! Easy, clean, no ads, no distractions (I had to delete Flo for this reason). Wonderfully made! Truly love it 💛

Feature Request - Apple Watch Integration

I love the lively app and have been using it for a couple years now. I love the simple design, the recommendations and the partner sharing. I love how the app never annoys me with notifications and I am free to not use the AI features without it being shoved into my face. I am however missing an integration into the Apple Watch. I would love a widget for my watch face telling me the day and cycle phase I am in, maybe even display suggestions for Eat, move and do and allow me to track it directly on the watch. I noticed that I will not track symptoms if it’s not doable on the watch. Also, if possible, it would be great to get more insights into development roadmap or similar.

Response from developer

This is such a lovely note to read. It means a lot that the simple design, recommendations, partner sharing, quiet notifications, and optional AI have worked well for you over the years. Apple Watch support is a great idea, especially for quick symptom tracking, cycle phase widgets, and Eat, Move, Do suggestions. We hear you on roadmap visibility too. Please add this in Suggest Feature in the app, or send extra thoughts to support@livelycycle.com or Instagram. Many thanks, Medina, Lively Team!

I think it is great

I am young and i just started lively and i helped me predict my period

disappointed

Are we serious? Not only do women already have to pay for toiletries for our periods and deal with everything else that comes with a period, but what I really thought was a genuinely helpful looking app that would seem to be really great with advising what our mood may be, what we should eat, and how we should move our body, COSTS MONEY? Sure it’s only 30 dollars a year but that’s another 30 on top of everything else. I think it’s so unfair and unnecessary that we should have to pay for this too. People have really lost the plot.

Love this app, one suggestion

As stated, i love this app so so much!!! Only suggestions i have would be to list types of birth control, and if pill, an option to log whether or not it was taken. Also, an emergency contraceptive pill option, as this does affect hormones and cycle!!!

doesn’t let me track properly

i honestly really liked this app for awhile but then my period became super irregular and now the app won’t even track my periods. it picks what days i’m supposed to start my cycle or what day it thinks my cycle will start and then won’t let me change to the days my cycle actually happened. honestly kind of ridiculous and now i have to switch to a different app.

Anmeldeoptionen

Ich finde die App sehr übersichtlich und hilfreich. Allerdings fehlt mir eine Option sich mit der E-Mail Adresse anzumelden. Das wäre wundervoll!!

Response from developer

Wie schön, dass Lively für dich übersichtlich und hilfreich ist. Den Wunsch nach Login per E-Mail verstehen wir total. Am besten reichst du ihn direkt in der App unter „Suggest Feature“ ein, damit unser Team ihn mit aufnehmen kann ✨ Vielen Dank, Medina, Lively Team!

Best cycle tracking app!!

I’ve been using Lively for almost 3 years now and it’s such a great app for tracking your cycle & symptoms. I love the daily quotes that it comes with and the foods and exercises that it recommends with each phase.

Response from developer

Nearly 3 years with Lively means so much to us 🤍 We’re so glad the cycle and symptom tracking, daily quotes, foods, and exercises are helping you feel supported in each phase. Cheers, Medina, Lively Team!

Love it!!!

I’ve had other period apps before and they were just plain and simple. Told me when I should get my period and ovulate and that was it. Tbh, I didn’t know much about the different cycles and everything, until I got this app! It tells you what foods are good for you during each stage and explains what happens to your body during the different cycles. It’s definitely worth the subscription

Something went wrong

I loved this app so much which is why is makes me sad to rate 3 stars. However, now when I open it, it just has a page that says “your thoughts on lively?” And there is no way to get out of it, rendering the app completely useless and unusable. I now have no way of seeing my cycle and have now lost months of tracking.
