Love it well worth a try
So interesting if you are trying for a baby tracking your period and getting to know your body just brilliant..
Worked in 2021. Now? Not so much
3-4 years ago I found app, and test kits, to be helpful, easy to use, and (as far as I could tell) accurate. I have been using it again for the last 3 months and found myself frustrated with the app being unable to “capture” the picture of my test strip (literally: never). Also, despite frequency of my testing, I never had a strip result in anything more than a “low” result… despite obvious physical indicators saying otherwise (I realize this could be user error, which is why it’s my 2nd reason).
This month I switched to a different brand/app and was able to see the nuances in, even just, a few hours of testing - plus this other brand’s app captured test result images so fast, with *zero* issues - AND test strips found my peak LH no problem (lined up with my biological indictors). That is what I have been looking for, and wish Modern Fertility could still do.
All this to say: other features of the Modern Fertility app work nicely but, because of the reasons above, I’ll be moving on.

No customization
I wanted to love this app! I’m not currently trying to get pregnant, and I have that as my set goal. I simply want to learn more about my body while tracking fertility. Unfortunately the app still sends out tips on how to get pregnant and lets you know when the best time to test is.
I’ve used the FLO app, as recommended by customer support but it looks like it’s designed for 14 year old girls.
Additionally, the app only lets you select your cycle length and doesn’t account for periods or cycles that differ in length. I got my period inbetween cycles and now the predictions are basically useless. I know MANY women have irregular cycles for various reasons.
I honestly hope this app improves because I love the look, and pay a much higher price for ovulation tests to use it. (~$1.25/piece vs $0.25/piece).

Recommend!!
I really enjoy this app for fertility planning and tracking. It’s aesthetically pleasing, easy to use and doesn’t overwhelm you with symptom spotting. Highly recommend
Not good
The app has a LOT of glitches and issues. The whole sign up process does not work. It did not allow me to select a specific date for my period (the calendar was impossible to see and smaller than my pinky nail). It did not give me any options to choose cycle length- the buttons did not click and it did not scroll. I basically had to choose false information to get me through and onto the next slide.
I then click random stuff to get me through the sign up process (meaning it’s using inaccurate data). Then I scan my LH dip stick into the app. And the first and second time it told me my LH level is Low. (While the line is as dark as it can be). So I scan it a 3rd time and it registers as high. How can it read SO OFF.
Other fertility apps and dip sticks are way more user friendly, accurate And cheaper. I would not recommend this to anyone.

Ovulation Tests Don’t Work Well in App
The app is easy to use and beautiful to look at. I appreciate modern fertility’s mission. I am only writing this based on my experience with the ovulation tests. The camera function does not read the tests well. I can see slight fluctuations in the tests and the results are either 40 or 1 and can have different readings on the same test. My results just today are probably closer to 10 judging on what I can read. I agree with other reviewers who say to enter it manually. There are better and more helpful apps to track ovulation if the testing component is not involved. Hopefully other people are having more success with the fertility and pregnancy tests!

Doesn’t read strips correctly
I like the idea behind this app and how it’s supposed to pair with all of Modern Fertilities other products.
However, using the app to read ovulation strips is borderline impossible and extremely inaccurate. You have to hold the camera at an exact unknown distance away and it’s never just an easy scan. Not to mention it’s not accurate at all. The app keeps telling me I’m only at 10, but when matching it with the lines on the package, it’s clearly somewhere between 25 and 45.
I currently use this to help prevent pregnancy and am extremely annoyed, but I couldn’t imagine trying to conceive using these - being in the surge level of ovulation, but this app telling me I’m only at 10 and missing my opportunity that month. I will be switching back to the brand I used previously.

Great idea, frustrating app
I love these ovulation tests and app. HOWEVER, when I go to log my LH surge , it is soooo annoying how I have to hold it steady and it keeps saying “perfect this will take a few seconds” then it’ll say “it’s too close” then “try holding it over the strip” THEN it’ll do that so many times!! Over and over! Also, it’ll give me 4 different numbers on one test back to back! I’m looking at a test now and the line is as dark, if not DARKER than the control line and it says it’s only 30 LH! HOW?!?! On the package it SHOULD BE 65+ ! That’s what I would manually log! Soooo how is this possible? Also, it is pretty accurate about the days I ovulate as well as when my LH will be most elevated! That’s impressive that it gives me that knowledge!
This company should sell vitamins to help men and women conceive! So, all in all, yes I love the product. The app is great. HOWEVER, It’s soooo frustrating and annoying to take the photo and it always takes at least 10 min for one!! And it’s super annoying it doesn’t give me accurate LH numbers! Other than that, it’s ok. If there was another company that does this same thing, I honestly probably would try their app and test. I hope the app gets fixed for all of this bc otherwise this would be wonderful. Good luck.

This app is inaccurate and not working properly
I am writing this review after using this app for about 6months. I chose this because of its beautiful design, but I’ve been regretting my choice over the past few months. This app is really inaccurate and doesn’t work properly. Basically, whenever I tried to take pictures of testers for an ovulation test, this app not only couldn’t take photos properly, but there were many errors in recognizing the numbers. As a result, I had to stand in the bathroom holding my phone for more than 5-10mins. In addition, when the same tester resulted, the LH value was 1or 80, showing all different values appearing every time a picture was taken. I have wasted so much time on this app’s inaccuracies, and it pisses me off. PLEASE improve the app’s accuracy.

Updated review
Updated review: I’ve found that stabilizing the phone on an object makes the photo taking process much less infuriating (a toilet paper roll is the PERFECT height) so I’m still sticking with the app at least through all 20 tests. The tests are saying I’m surging while easy@home says I’m nowhere near he oh surge. I’m actually more inclined to believe Modern Fertility 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Original review:
I despise the app. The language it uses to try to sound “hip” is so cringey, it’s adult women using the app for god’s sake. Plus it takes a good 5-10 mins for the thing to actually take a photo of the strip. I’ve done a few of these now and it keeps cycling between “perfect! This will take a few seconds” then 30+ seconds later “try hold the phone directly over the test strip” it’s ridiculous just TAKE THE PICTURE! Better yet let me upload my own photo and the app can read it like other apps do. $15 for 20 tests and incredibly frustrating app means I’m switching back to Easy@Home and the Premom app.

Very Basic
This is a very basic app for tracking. I wish I could write notes with my “logs” such as “mild to moderate cramping” and to also be able to write down basal temps along with test strips for added documentation and having a better outlook of what my cycle is doing. For now I’ll just keep using a separate journal. The test strips are so far the best I’ve ever used. I can’t stomach the cost of digital trackers and cheap test strips have proven to be a bit inaccurate. I do think there is a learning curve with the camera and lighting to accurately read the test strips. Once I figured out what worked for my phone camera and lighting it read the strips correctly 9 out of 10. It also took a few days to understand how the app worked. Overall I am happy with the app but hope improvements are in the works for a better experience.

Definitely would recommend
I was using this app most of 2022 to track my cycle and ovulation to avoid getting pregnant. I was using the ovulation strips and they worked great for me and i didn’t really have any problems. My doctor thought that this was a good idea for me to use the app and ovulation test combo to get familiar with my cycle since In the past ive had irregular periods.
If your trying to get pregnant then i would highly recommend this app because I did end up getting pregnant (on purpose and fairly quickly) and this app helped me figure out when i got pregnant exactly. Sending baby dust your way!!

Trying to conceive is hard, this app and their test strips are even HARDER.
Bottom line: the Modern Fertility app can’t even scan their own ovulation tests. Out of a box of 20, I have successfully had it scan twice. It’s incredibly frustrating to be fed “tips/tricks” that make you feel like it’s user error.
On top of that, the strips have not been able to detect a surge. Save your money on the OPK they offer and use PreMom (these saved me from missing this TTC cycle).
Lastly, it’s only mildly offending that they think users are not interested or would understand what they’re doing with the info we input (it says stuff like “doing sciencey things”) but then they feed you the same old information you can find on most tracking apps. Would not recommend.

I like it but it could be much better
I think this app is nice. I do think they are obviously trying to collect health data and force you to buy their products but that’s the world we live in.
Features I wish the app had:
- ability to track temperature as a way of identifying ovulation as well. I think having basal temperature which is often used as a ovulation indicator could strengthen their data based on their test strips and also allow people a way to track without having to use strips constantly. Don’t get me wrong I like the strips and the apps auto-read tool but I have medical troubles that require me to be very careful about my hydration so using the strips was challenging for me because I always seemed overly hydrated becusse I couldn’t wait to be drinking water in the morning.
- ability to integrate basal heart rate data from a smart watch or fitness tracker. This has also been shown to jump around a ovulation and is data that is captured mindlessly for people so it could also help support test strip data and app estimations for ovulations. And it’s not something extra, you’re already doing it. I found trying to build testing into my schedule was difficult because of my busy schedule and previously mentioned medical needs with hydration which can easily throw off the test strips.
- I would also like a quick edit/summary view and chart view of when my periods were and how long the cycles were. I don’t like that the only way you can view your data is by going day to day and looking at it.
- would like to scroll through the calendar on the home page to look at past and estimated future cycles… I want to be able to strategically plan romantic weekends and such and also do a quick look back if needed

Issue with iPhone 14 pro photo compatibility
I just switched from an iPhone 11 Pro to a 14 pro. With my old phone logging the ovulation strips took seconds and was a great way to get the unbiased feedback on what the LH level result was and track the data over time. With my new phone the camera lens appears out of focus when I go to log and asks me to hold it farther away, which doesn’t align with the strip guide that shows on the screen. It either takes a long time or won’t log at all with my new phone. Can the developer please address this?

Inaccurate ovulation test reader
There are so many things I love about this app, but I’m using it to get pregnant, so I’m giving it three stars because the ovulation test reader is very inaccurate. I was feeling skeptical about its accuracy so I bought the Modern Fertility brand ovulation test strips, hoping this would help. When I scanned the same exact test strip, I got three completely different readings 0, 5 and 40!
Please don’t this feature of the app unless it’s 100% accurate, because women are counting on this to help them get pregnant! I now log my ovulation strips manually because I don’t trust a app’s reader.

Best of both worlds!
My cycles have always been somewhat irregular. I stumbled upon this app a few years ago, while my husband and I were trying to avoid pregnancy. When he deployed for a year, I continued to use it to track my menstrual cycles and once he got back, the app (along with the ovulation and pregnancy tests) helped us to conceive our second child!
This app is the most accurate when it comes to predicting which day Mother Nature will visit and how long she’ll be in town! Of course it’s not a perfect science, so I always do an ovulation test to be sure & it’s normally spot-on! I love that this app takes into consideration each previous cycle to predict the next, rather than making you enter one specific cycle length and using that to map out which days you’ll start. You also have the option to pause your predictions, if/when you conceive.
All of the information is clearly displayed and easily accessible. No ads or sketchy looking layouts.
I also learned so much about natural family planning through the Modern Community forums. I am so thankful to have found this gem and I doubt I’ll ever use another app to track my cycles.
If I could make any change, it’d be to make it a bit more “postpartum friendly”. Basically, I’d love an option where after you’ve given birth, you notify the app and it takes that into consideration when predicting your next cycle/fertile window. I think this option should also have an option to enter whether or not you're exclusively breastfeeding, since that affects fertility as well. Just a suggestion (:
All in all 10/10 app!

Strip Color
While I loved being able to confirm what I was counting out for my days of ovulation it’s a bit frustrating when it won’t take its picture automatically. As my LH began to surge the test line was definitely getting darker but so was the entire strip within the test window causing the automatic read feature within the app to fail. As you can still read it and enter it manual this app and test still gets four stars!
It’s easy to understand how to use, easy to use, and easy to read the results.
