What's New in LouLou

2.0

November 21, 2022

With the major release on 2.0 we completely turned Circle inside out. The app has been rebranded and is now called LouLou. Functionalities have also been adapted and are gradually being further developed. Simply put, we completely redeveloped the app. The old data can be migrated to the new app after onboarding with the update.

The cycles are calculated wrong

App says to put in your cycle start date, where the start date is the day you put your nuvaring on. But if you do that, the app will calculate everything incorrectly. the app is expecting the first day of your cycle to be when you remove the ring (first day of period). You need to fix this

Can use improvements

I like the simple and practical design a lot! But it can use some improvements.
I have a smaller phone(iPhone SE) so the calendar page almost completely breaks for me. I wish I could also see my history and older cycles.

Better than nothing but still bad

I downloaded 3 of the top ring apps so I could compare them as I’m new to this birth control method. This one was my least favorite. I liked that it was blue/green instead of pink like all the others but that’s about it. The actual app is extremely basic and doesn’t actually lay things out in a sensible manner. It’s difficult to see when you put in your ring and took it out and it always has a red action bubble on every single day. On top of that the day reminders are off. I had this one set to the same cycle days as the other two apps and it reminded me a day later than the others.

Overall it’s better than nothing I guess but I’d save your money. Super disappointing.

Wasteof money

This app just doesn’t work and resets the reminders. What a waste

Last update broke contraceptive tracking

The app updated in the middle of my cycle and I had to enter the last date of inserting contraceptive manually, then after that it keeps telling me there is an alert but the alert date doesn’t match the date of insertion or removal. I contacted support over a week ago and got no response. Time to find another app.
