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. ### 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 ### 3/5 — No widget function on iPhone *2022-03-11, version 1.10* Spent money on the app but not as convenient as other apps, need to update to include the widget function like contraceptive ring reminders + ### 3/5 — War in Ordnung *2022-02-08* Ich habe die App jetzt seit einem Jahr. Bis jetzt hat alles gut funktioniert. Seit ein paar Wochen bekomme ich jedoch jeden Tag die Benachrichtigung, dass ich meinen Ring einsetzen soll. Ich hab dem Support geschrieben, aber keine Antwort erhalten. Echt schade, weil die App mir von allen am besten gefallen hat. ### 3/5 — Erinnerung muss besser werden *2021-09-24* Leider muss ich immer noch in meinem Kalender eine Notfall-Erinnerung für Ein- und Ausnahme eingetragen, da die App regelmäßig fehlerhafte Push-Erinnerung sendet. Einmal bekam ich 20 Erinnerungen an einem Tag, wo kein Ringwechsel stattfand. Im Gegenzug kam keine Erinnerung am nächsten korrekten Ringwechseltag und meine Kalender-Notfallerinnerung musste greifen :( Abgesehen davon ist die App sehr übersichtlich und sehr gut handhabbar. ### 1/5 — Pick another app *2021-06-21, version 1.10* Very confusing to work and not user friendly ### 1/5 — Not customizable *2021-06-15, version 1.10* I’m so mad that I paid money for this. I can’t even put in my customized birth control schedule to have a period every 3 months. And I can’t go back to insert the ring the day before if I forget. ### 2/5 — Very adaptable to my cycle! *2021-02-05, version 1.10* I’m glad I switched to this app! ### 4/5 — Weird glitch? *2020-11-22, version 1.0.7* Love this app but am I the only one who’s screen continues moving up and down the screen when trying to add date/time for removal/insertion ??? Almost like it’s a game ? It’s super annoying ### 3/5 — Just started using today... *2020-11-21, version 1.0.7* Looks like a good app so far! Wish it wouldn’t prompt you right away to insert the ring! I wasn’t ready the first time I downloaded, so had to redownload when I inserted. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 1/5 — Not for customisation or control *2022-07-24, version 1.10* Can’t customise cycle dates and hard to adjust once you submit an action. Only plus is you only pay once ### 1/5 — Might as well use my calendar app, this app is useless *2021-12-10, version 1.10* I paid for this app and it’s horrible, it does the same thing that any calendar app would do but only worse. You would assume that sense this app is for the ring, there would be an option to set reminders to remove/insert the ring. The issue is that when you set up a reminder, it reminds you EVERY DAY to “insert ring”. There is no option to set how often you receive reminders. There is no benefit to this app and the standard apple calendar offers more when it comes to setting reminder dates. ### 1/5 — Not a good tracking app *2021-09-29, version 1.10* Yeah, I don’t know what all of these good reviews are talking about because this is probably the worst ring tracking app I’ve ever downloaded. The “insert your ring” notifications are sent every day and there is no way to change it, so there is no way to actually know when you’re supposed to put the ring in. The calendar doesn’t show how many days you’ve had the ring in for, and the actual cycle tracker doesn’t make any sense (I usually replace my ring on Saturdays but the tracker wants me to replace it one day earlier every cycle). Definitely not worth the $3. ### 1/5 — Serious design flaw *2021-09-21, version 1.10* This app would be great except for one thing: it only allows you to log actions immediately, meaning you can’t go back and enter that you inserted your ring a few hours ago or a few days ago. This is so annoying because it means that your timing is off if you didn’t happen to log the action right at the time you did it. It should be a simple fix but until then this app is not useful. ### 1/5 — Waste 5$ *2021-07-10, version 1.10* it is not possible to set the disc you inserted two days ago, you have to wait a whole month for the next date. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Beste App *2021-04-19* Wirklich eine tolle App, welche alle Features von Konkurrenten unter einen Hut bringt und das auch noch ohne lästiges Abo! Bin wirklich froh diese App gefunden zu haben ### 5/5 — Löscht den Zyklus immer wieder *2021-02-25* Für einen Zyklus funktioniert die App super, man kann alles eintragen und sie erinnert einen dann auch den Ring zu entfernen. Leider ist es so dass bei mir der Zyklus dann immer abbricht, also nicht der nächste gestartet wird, sodass ich den Ring jetzt schön öfter zu spät herausgenommen habe. Das ist sehr schade, denn als ich mir die App runtergeladen hatte, war dies nicht so! Ich werde mir jetzt eine andere App hierfür suchen. ### 5/5 — Clear and intuitive *2020-11-21, version 1.0.7* Love interface and easy to understand. ### 5/5 — So far so good *2020-11-19, version 1.0.7* Would love to have an option to use the app in a way that is like seasonique. I am using the ring where I get my period every 3 months... is this a possibility? If it said change ring every 21 days to a new ring for 3 months and then have a period. ### 5/5 — Tiptop *2020-11-18* Super unkompliziert und ohne Werbung ! Richtig gut. Design ist auch hübsch ### 5/5 — Dankeschön *2020-11-18* Es ist einfach ehrenvoll, eine kostenlose App für den Zyklus und den verhütungsring anzubieten. Alles andere wäre es nicht ### 5/5 — Tut das was es soll *2020-11-17* Sehr gut und einfach zu bedienen. Sammelt die notwendigen Informationen und gibt einen guten Überblick. Auch optisch sehr ansprechend. ### 5/5 — really easy to use *2020-11-15, version 1.0.7* the set up was really easy and very easy to work once i got started, i really enjoy using this app and the comfort that it bring with the reminder! ### 5/5 — Simple, effective and free! *2020-11-14, version 1.0.7* Love this app! Particularly because there’s no membership fee <3 ### 5/5 — Great *2020-11-14, version 1.0.7* 10/10 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
