A lot of things don’t really work if I try to update something in the past, it’ll mess everything up on the app ### 4/5 — Helpful *2026-02-22, version 3.0.15* I have been using this app for over a year and it is very helpful with reminding me to remove and insert my ring. I have it 4 starts because I pay the annual plan and still get ads. ### 3/5 — Limited schedule editing options, errors, but low cost and a nice minimalist design *2025-10-27* I struggled with this app for quite a while. At first, the problems came from the limited functionality of the free version – you could only change the schedule by resetting it. In the paid version, you can adjust the schedule, but this feature doesn’t always work as expected. For example, say you remove the ring one day later than planned. You open the app, and a pop-up banner appears asking if you’ve removed the ring. You can’t close this banner and mark the removal later in the calendar tab. The paid version gives you options like “removed as scheduled,” “removed on another day,” “skipped break,” and, I think, also “shortened cycle”. You choose “removed on another day” to mark that it was a day late. After selecting this option, you can’t pick another day, the screen only shows the date when the ring was supposed to be removed. You can’t choose another date or close the window; the only option is to agree, which records the wrong removal day. This problem could be ignored if the app allowed you to change the removal day in the calendar, but that option doesn’t exist. If the removal day was yesterday and the calendar now shows a break, you can choose “skip break,” “shorten break,” or “insert new ring.” But there’s no option to “extend break” or change the removal day. If you need to edit earlier dates (for example, if your schedule changed before and you forgot to record it), you’ll get a message saying “date in past. You could not change ring usages in the past.” On one hand, that’s logical, but on the other, it’s very inconvenient – the app doesn’t let you make corrections in real time and forces you to stick to the preset schedule, even when you need to record different dates. In the end, you have to reset the cycle, just like in the free version, and when you do that, you lose your cycle history. On the positive side, the paid version is inexpensive. If you always strictly follow your schedule and don’t need flexibility, this app is a perfect option. And the minimalist design with the dark theme is also nice. I hope this review helps fix the bug, but as for me, I’ve decided to switch to another app due to a ton of small irritating inconveniences ### 3/5 — Zufrieden *2025-07-17* Ich bin soweit mit der App zufrieden aber wenn sie sich aktualisiert dann ist der Zyklus und alle Einträge weg und wenn man es nicht zusätzlich im Kalender stehen hat dann muss man erstmal überlegen bei wie vielen Tagen man nochmal war. Wenn ich nicht zufällig kurz vorher geschaut hätte, dann wäre das wirklich doof gewesen. ### 2/5 — Enttäuscht *2025-05-01* Habe mir das Abo gekauft um ein Datum in der Vergangenheit zu ändern, da die App mal wieder etwas angenommen hat, was nicht stimmt. Als ich dass vergangene Datum anklickte bekam ich die Info, dass vergangene Sachen nur mit Abo geändert werden können. Entsprechend kaufte ich es um das Datum zu bearbeiten. Nach dem Kauf zeigte mir das Programm allerdings an, dass die Daten in der Vergangenheit nicht verändert werden können. Reine Abzocke, echt enttäuschend. Früher wurde man auch ohne Abo wenigstens noch gefragt, ob man den Ring tatsächlich entfernt/… hat und man konnte dies ggf. Ändern, jetzt hat man mit den Annahmen der App keine Chance mehr, sobald man tatsächlich irgendwas geändert hat. Enttäuschend. ### 2/5 — Ganz ok *2025-03-16* Die App dient nur zu Erinnerung den Ring zu entfernen und wieder einzusetzen, find sie aber nicht übersichtlich trotz abo konnte ich die Kalender Farbe nicht ändern echt mies und was auch ausbaufähig ist, wenn man über längere Zeit eine Ringpause macht zB für 1 Monat das man das eintragen kann etc. ### 1/5 — cheap-o app *2024-08-13, version 3.0.5* you literally have to pay to do anything. it’s ridiculous. birth control is hard enough to navigate and this app doesn’t make it an easier. ### 2/5 — Not the best *2024-06-01, version 3.0.5* I use the app really just to keep track of the days. When it notifies me I need to insert a new ring it glitches and never actually allows me to update it for that day. Then with the dairy I can never actually document for the day of if I wanted to. I can only document past days. ### 1/5 — Aplicación del nuvaring *2024-04-23, version 3.0.4* Me gustaba la aplicación anterior, además era gratis. No entiendo porque se debe pagar por este servicio si ya uno gasta en comprar el nuvaring entonces debería poder tener acceso completo y gratuito. ### 2/5 — No la recomiendo *2024-03-22, version 3.0.4* Llevo dandole uso a esta app cuando empecé mi uso del anillo anticonceptivo y no lo recomiendo. La mitad del uso q le puedes dar es de pago ni siquiera me avisa de los ciclos del anillo y creo q es algo q puedan mejorar. Por otra parte no entiendo nada y cuando le doy a cualquier botón sobre mi calendario menstrual o sobre el anillo, sale q tienes q pagar la versión de pago. No te deja poner datos específicos de ciclos menstruales. Si buscas una app gratuita desde mi punto de vista no la recomiendo. ### 3/5 — Not sized to screen *2024-03-17* I love the simplicity of the app. It has everything I need with nothing too extraneous. I just wish the UI elements would resize to fit my small phone screen size. I use an iPhone SE and the screen is smaller than most phones, so I see a lot of texts that are cut out or buttons that are unreachable. ### 1/5 — Mai più ! *2024-02-24, version 3.0.4* Inutile… l’unica cosa che speravo facesse era avvisarmi con un segnale sonoro al momento di togliere o mettere l’anello ma non viene fatto ! ### 1/5 — No more 0 days pause *2024-01-23, version 3.0.4* At some point, there was no more 0 on days of pause choice. And now, the minimum days of pause is 2 days. Unacceptable. ### 1/5 — Truffa *2023-11-06, version 3.0.4* Continua a chiedermi la versione Premium per averle l’app su Apple Watch pur avendo già pagato l’abbonamento annuale! ### 1/5 — Precisione svanita *2023-10-20, version 3.0.4* Io quest’app da due anni da quando metto pannello, da qualche mese ha smesso di ricordarmi l’appuntamento,però ho detto vabbè magari va in conflitto con qualche aggiornamento probabilmente e lo sistemeranno essendo anche un app a PAGAMENTO. Niente, provo a rispettare la procedura che si fa quando hai problemi con le notifiche e non funziona. Risultato? Ieri mi sono dimenticata di togliere l’anello perché ormai non ho notifiche da mesi e ricordare tutto a volte è un problema. Sono delusa, pagare un bel po di soldi per avere cosa? ### 1/5 — Erased history *2023-10-12, version 3.0.3* This app erased my history twice now. It’ll work fine for a couple months then all of a sudden ask when was the last time I replaced my ring. I don’t know?? That’s literally the apps job lol. Switching to a different app 🫡 ### 4/5 — App öffnet sich nicht mehr *2023-10-07* Ich habe das letzte Update gemacht und bin begeistert vom neuen Design des Icons. Aber ich kann die App nicht mehr öffnen. ### 2/5 — App stürzt leider ab. *2023-10-06, version 3.0.3* Eigentlich eine echt tolle App, seit dem neusten Update startet sie jedoch nicht mehr. Echt total doof da es zu einem der wichtigstens Apps gehört meiner Meinung nach ### 1/5 — Same here *2023-10-04, version 3.0.3* App stopped working, wouldn’t load, I have no idea when I need to take out my ring. I had the free version of the app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2026-05-11, version 3.0.15* Once i paid for the year abo the whole app kept freezing and closing. The calendar wouldn’t save the dates correctly….. ### 1/5 — Nope *2026-05-07, version 3.0.15* This app was barely functional to begin with, but now it’s been pushing ads that seem spammy and are super disruptive to the user experience. It’s not safe or trustworthy. No thank you. ### 1/5 — Nao recomendo *2026-03-20, version 3.0.15* Havia pagado a subscricao, porque minha medica me indicou esse app, mas ele é pessimo, quando voce pula a pausa ele nao te deixa colocar outro anel no mesmo dia.... o app todo muito travado e na amigavel ### 1/5 — Kacke *2026-03-14, version 3.0.15* Ich nehme den Ring durch und kann trotz Bezahlung nicht fest angeben, dass ich keinen Tag Pause machen will!! Es wäre so einfach, einfach die Option 0 Tage hinzuzufügen. Bis dahin bringt mir die App aber garnichts ### 1/5 — Can’t skip a period in the app without paying *2025-12-21* Can’t skip a period in the app without paying for the subscription fee. What a ridiculous concept. Deleted and uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Non mi piace *2025-10-10, version 3.0.13* Più di una volta mi ha cancellato tutto lo storico facendomi uscire dall’account perdendo così tutti i dati ### 1/5 — Reminders messed up *2025-09-18* This app has been consistent with sending me notifications of exactly when to take my ring in and out for years but then one month I did not receive any reminders and realized I should have taken my ring out over a week prior. After messing with my settings I realized now you have to PAY for the notifications. Ridiculous, use another app or track it yourself in your calendar. ### 1/5 — Sbaglia il girono *2025-06-29, version 3.0.9* Mi dispiace dover dare questa valutazione, l’ho usata da un anno e mezzo e senza problemi… peccato che ora l’app stia sbagliando il giorno e sia tornato indietro di un giorno l’aver messo e tolto l’anello. Inammissibile problemi del genere in questo tipo di app ### 1/5 — Read all reviews *2025-02-01, version 3.0.9* Make sure to read these reviews before trusting this app for your birth control. According to other reviews this happens a lot. It sent me a notification to take my ring out. When I opened the app, it said I still had 9 days to go. ### 1/5 — Timo *2025-01-28, version 3.0.9* Pague la aplicación para no tener anuncios durante 1 año y se me cobró, pero siguen saliendo los anuncios y encima me sale en la aplicación que no tengo el premium, en cambio en Apple si figura que la app está pagada y encima no dan ningún tipo de atención al cliente ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — L’ app in versione gratis e super *2023-09-23, version 3.0.3* Questa app inversione gratis è abbastanza basica ma fa il suo. La versione a pagamento immagino sia molto più completata. Un giorno la proverò. Consigliatissima ### 5/5 — app stopped working *2023-08-28* I’ve been using this app for the past 6 years and it has its issues in terms of notifications but i would just regularly check the app to make sure i was staying on track with my ring dates. However, this most recent update messed everything up!! the app won’t even open up for me and immediately forces out as soon as i click on it. Now i’m not sure what day i’m supposed to take my ring out bc i relied on this app for my dates and it won’t even open! My phone is also up to the latest IOS. The latest ring app update ruined the app. very frustrating and disappointing , especially because i did pay for it. ### 5/5 — Super App aber seit dem letzten Update nicht mehr zu öffnen *2023-08-26, version 3.0.0* Seit dem letzten Update funktioniert meine app nicht mehr lässt sich garnicht öffnen. Handy aus und wieder an bringt auch nichts. Gut ist das ist meine Periode mit einer anderen app tracke aber es wäre super wenn ihr den bug beheben würdet diese App ist seit ca.5-6 Jahren mein treuer Begleiter. ### 5/5 — Utilissima *2023-07-14, version 2.5.12* Manda il messaggio di Reminder. Utilissima. Consiglio di usarla ### 5/5 — Loveee *2022-08-11* So i genuinely love this app!! i just recently got my ring and this helps me to remember when to take it out and do a new one :D i also have very bad memory so i highly recommend this one! and the subscription is only 99¢.. a month i mean plus tax..? but its so doable ### 5/5 — Problem version need help *2021-10-23, version 2.5.3* iPhone 6 software 12.5.5 Cant open app Need help !!! ### 5/5 — Envía notificaciones erróneas *2019-08-04, version 2.04* Cuidado, en varias oportunidades la app envía notificaciones cómo retiro de anticonceptivo! una semana antes o días antes de la fecha. Esto puede traer consecuencias nefastas. ### 5/5 — App veramente utile *2018-12-01, version 2.01* App semplice, facile da impostare è veramente utile per non perdere mai i giorni cruciali ### 5/5 — 👍 *2018-08-12, version 2.0* Super App, kann ich weiterempfehlen ### 5/5 — La han mejorado *2018-08-08, version 2.0* Me gusta esta ultima actualización, han añadido la funcionalidad de que te pregunte si has insertado el anillo y el diseño ha mejorado bastante. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
