### 3/5 — The cycles are calculated wrong

*2024-10-22, version 2.0*

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

### 3/5 — Can use improvements

*2024-04-12, version 2.0*

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.

### 2/5 — Better than nothing but still bad

*2023-09-18, version 2.0*

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.

### 1/5 — Wasteof money

*2023-09-10, version 2.0*

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

### 1/5 — Last update broke contraceptive tracking

*2022-12-11, version 2.0*

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.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2022-12-11, version 2.0*

Old app was better. This app calculates everything wrong and my info did not migrate. Says I have a period the day afte insertion of my new ring but it’s 21 days after insertion for a period. What in the world did y’all do now I have to find a new app because this is going to mess everything up with my cycle if I use this as my reminder app.

### 1/5 — Umorganisation zu Unübersichtlichkeit

*2022-11-28*

Nach dem Umändern der App, hat diese zwar noch die Daten gespeichert (wenn man diese migrieren lassen hat), jedoch ist die App meiner Meinung nach sehr unübersichtlich. Außerdem muss man seinen Zyklus komplett neu einrichten. Diese Einrichtung des Zyklus erscheint mir sehr kompliziert, sodass mir nun die falschen Mitteilungen geschickt werden und ich nicht ablesen kann wann ich was tun soll. 
Schade, denn nun starte ich mit dem Aufzeichnen meines Zyklus etc. von neu.

Die vorherige Version war sehr viel leichter zu bedienen und zu verstehen.

### 1/5 — Update broke everything

*2022-11-28, version 2.0*

The new update said they’d done a major overhaul and old data would transfer in. I found this to be false. After clicking the migrate data button, the app only carried over this month. Additionally the app now gives the wrong removal date; while claiming cycle day one is insertion date it makes the next 7 days period days

### 2/5 — Neues Update

*2022-11-28*

Man kann doch nicht einfach ohne Vorwarnung die App erneuern und alle alten Daten löschen, die neue Version ist genauso unübersichtlich und bekommt es nicht auf die Reihe meinen Zyklus auszurechnen

### 2/5 — Not intuitive… I’d rather have the old version

*2022-11-28, version 2.0*

I liked the app before it changed to LouLou. I migrated my data but the dates seem completely wrong, and the “ring in” and “period days” are confusing to me? I need the calendar that shows “ring in” and “ring out”. I don’t want to track my period, I want to track the days based on when the ring is in, and when it’s out. I also can’t change the dates on the calendar or my period after they’ve already been put in from the old data. Because of this my dates are just confusing and incorrect. There should be an option to change dates, an option to track your period, and the calendar should be based on ring in days/ring out only unless you turn on “period tracking mode”. This is an awful time to update because I totally forgot when I inserted my ring, and had a notification set to when I needed to take it out, and I eventually just had to be like “hmm it’s been a long time since I put my ring in I think….” Then I checked the updated app and, now I just have no idea if I’m protected or not. Lol
