Pretty, But Dysfunctional
The design is all looks and zero functionality. The user interface is unsettling (does grey mean an item is selected or is it white? whatever you’ve guessed, you’re wrong) You want to manually update your personal calendar? Good luck getting it to save your changes because app developers could not care less about what you want. You want to record a month where you missed your period? Ew no, what is wrong with you? Why would that ever need to be an option? I’m guessing this app was created by men who never listen to anything a woman says and who dismiss all constructive criticism by blaming it on PMS. Otherwise there is just no explaining how bad this app is. I give up.

Trouble connecting to Apple Health
App says it can load steps, sleep, menstruation etc from Apple Health. However, it’s only loading menstruation. The app isn’t requesting to read anything else in the setting page so the request keeps timing out.
Other than that, seems like a good app. I like the custom notifications.

Better understanding
Thanks to the app I’ve come to better understand my cycle, and everything tha is linked to it (my mood changes, etc) which has been super helpful!
Reached its goal of making me MOODY
This is the only app that has ever given me the results it promised. I was serene and mentally stable before, but thanks to this app, now I'm MOODY. I couldn't simply open the app and quickly check if I'm ovulating. No! I had to solve a riddle and figure out a color palette that was multiple shades of IKEA green. I just want an app that tells me if I'm ovulating or if I'm about to be on my period. I'm not in "shift" or "reflect." I want precise language with contrasting colors. I don't want to have to talk to The Riddler.

Papaya 4 weeks in a row
I've used this app to track my period for about 2 years now and pay for the subscription. I am now pregnant and have been using the app to track my pregnancy and am somewhat disappointed. I have noticed that some of the information they give is incorrect. And it's honestly so annoying that with every week's size comparison, many of them have been repeats. I am now on week number four of my baby being the size of a papaya. Just seems lazy, especially for something that I pay money for.

Latest update
Been using this app for years, although I have never liked the name of the app, I have found the information and planner on the free version very useful. Disappointingly with the latest update, the period prediction dates only go so far into the future and now if wanting to see this functionality the app is asking to pay a subscription fee. Shame on you developers for trying to exploit money on the basic planning needs on the personal female cycle!!

Things you could add
Hello! I really like the app, but I think it would be more complete if you could add a widget or if you could traduce it to multiple languages. Thanks!
Love the concept but the user experience put me off :(
I love the solutions part of this app but unfortunately overall it’s too slow and glitchy for me. It was also saying I was in the incorrect phase and the edit tool was being really slow to update.
The sliders for symptoms are glitchy
The sliders to report symptoms have been glitchy and very difficult to move after recent updates, it makes the feature unusable
Why make up random terms for cycle phases??
My one complaint about this app is that, instead of using correct terminology for your cycle phase it uses its own made up words like “rise” and “shift”. This is silly and unhelpful, just tell me when I’m ovulating 🙄 otherwise yeah it’s fine for tracking and predicting your period.
(Fixed!) BUG after update

Editing to say the newest update seems to have fixed it

Constantly asked to subscribe
I’ve used this for a long time with no problems. Basically just used for tracking. Until recently every time you open the app and click on anything in the app you are asked to subscribe. It’s annoying.
Problem with iPhone SE
Stoped working with se
Would be nice if…
There was the option to track both periods and perimenopausal stages, and not be forced to just choose one.
Unable to use anymore
Used to be able to log symptoms but now you are unable to save because of a subscription pop up. No notice of the change. Before you download it know there is no free option anymore.
Probably great if you pay a ton
I used this app for over a year but I’m switching to something (anything) else. Your experience will likely be different if you pay for the free version which lends to my first dislike. First, the cost for the subscription is exorbitant compared to other apps for similar purposes. Second, the free version has constant pay walls. Every thing you click on asks you to buy a subscription. A recent change is that to log symptoms it tells you to pay, if you X out it will tell you your data will not be saved. You’re stuck. Turns out it actually does save your data even though it says it doesn’t. I’m tired of being told to pay. Like others, I hate that it’s not the correct terminology. The scale for logging symptoms is confusing. Low and high are not good indicators to describe a many symptoms. Lastly, in the spirit of what this app says constantly, every woman is very different. Therefore, I find it distasteful that the free version does not let you add/remove/adjust symptoms that apply to me. I’m limited to only what the developers decided are common symptoms.

Was great until subscription became a requirement
I used to be able to log my mind/body symptoms but now when I try I get the subscription pop up.
Used to be better
Used to be better and much more user friendly but now it seems they just want you to accidentally click on purchasing a subscription at every single chance they can. Can’t even save my logs all of a sudden and I only use it during my period
Cycle names
The reason for the low rating is because you don’t use common names for each cycle or phase such as luteal. This makes it harder to know which phase I’m in and literally adds more work to my life having to figure it out every time.
Decent app but could be much more educational and beneficial
Have to agree with the reviewer I saw initially about the weekly cycle names and periods being referred to as “bleed“ I think as adults it’s just best if we use the correct terminology because most of us don’t know. I grew up, not knowing what the luteal phase is, follicular, and ovulation even was and I feel like removing the words was a step backwards by not calling things exactly as they are to ultimately destigmatize our bodies. We don’t need nicknames or symbolic descriptions about what our cycles are called.
It’s probably not gonna happen but changing the names of the cycles and reinforcing scientific terminology would really set this app apart and solidify the experience. You can’t even read an insight without your period being referred to as “Your Bleed” and I think just the more that you have to read and see the words it gets a bit irritating (no offense). I totally understand the name of the app and why it was named that but as far as the nitty-gritty of why people download this app which is to learn about our bodies and our cycle, along with our hormones: Terminology + scientific descriptions go a long way in educating girls who are not taught this from their mother’s or their grandmother’s or any woman in their life.
