Knowing my Cycle

This app has allowed me to truly track my cycle and know when the best time to concieve is. I’m so happy to have went through with it

Sneaky and Dishonest

I had the free trial of this app when I purchased my Oura ring. I guess when I created a profile it connected to my apple ID, therefor when they sent out the “reminder” email I never received it. How was I supposed to know this? These kinds of practices are deceptive and sneaky, a way for them to get their $150 and i had no clue. Mind you, i’ve only had access to the “demo” version of the app despite them taking $150 of my hard earned dollars as well. I am extremely upset and now I will not be able to afford this months bills. But I am glad Natural Cycles got their $150.

I wish that you weren’t using AI.

I love this app and I like using it, it’s a very simple way of preventing pregnancy and knowing my cycle and how everything is affected with it. My only issue is the use generative AI in the app. I feel as though, if this is made by genuine professionals, why would you need a something like AI to give information FOR you? And with knowing that it can give false information. I also feel as though, if I’m paying to have the information about my body and about my cycle, then I would want that information to given by other PEOPLE who have that same EXPERIENCE. You can’t learn anything about the body from something that doesn’t have a soul. Please, get rid of it.

Good except…

Please make the AI optional. I’m really not a fan of generative AI and I really dislike that I am not given the option to opt out of it. The app also feels a little non-intuitive with finding information. Besides this, I have been using this for a couple of years now and find it helpful to track my cycle.

Love it!

Coming up on a year of using natural cycles. Love the app. It’s been very very accurate for me. I use my Apple Watch and testing strips when the app suggests. It’s crazy how spot on it has been for me. My husband also finds the partner app helpful, he says it helps him know when he needs to be more careful and when my moods may be different. All around, love it!

Adoro!

Eu conheci esse app em 2018, quando tava bem no início. Na época eles enviavam um termômetro pra medição da temperatura e marcou o início da minha trajetória sem hormonios. Eu amo! Só o preço que é bem salgado 😢

Aparece que o meu Bluetooth está desligado

Já tentei todas as orientações. Reiniciei o celular, reinstalei o app, resetei as configurações, esta tudo atualizado… Ainda não reconhece o Bluetooth do meu iPhone 14

Natural Choices

Natural Cycle has been an amazing option in place of birth control pills. I’m so glad I found them, I only wish I had found this sooner. I love that I can watch my cycle while actively preventing pregnancy without the side effects of birth control pills and adding extra hormones that are not naturally in my body.

Track your cycle without mental gymnastics

This app is so convenient! With the NC band , apple watch or Oura ring you don’t have to do anything but load your temperature in the app first thing in the morning. I do recommend it especially for women who are new to tracking their cycle or/and fertility and don’t really know where and how to start. There’s also plenty of scientific articles on there that help educate on the menstrual cycle to help you better understand your body and sexual life!

An Absolute Game Changer

As a holistic girly, I was looking for a way to naturally prevent pregnancy for so long. I’ve been using natural cycles for almost a year and the insight it has given me has truly been a gift. It is always good to know what is going on inside your body, and I love that NC alerts me when something is a little off. It is incredibly empowering to know what your body is doing, and for that reason, I seriously recommend this app to other women! Plus, the partner share feature is pretty dang cool. It allows for my Husband to be so involved in the process + looking at your trends together is so intriguing. Thank you for the empowerment and knowledge, NC ❤️

Best app ever

Switched to this from nexplanon and soooo thankful I did. I can’t believe I was taking essentially poison every day of the month for 6 days I needed to be careful. Works great with the oura ring. All my side effects from nexplanon are gone and I have never been more informed about my body in my life.

Love the wristband!

I wanted to get off of hormonal birth control and started tracking my cycle instead. I didn’t want to wear a piece of jewelry all the time like the oura ring or Apple Watch just to help track my cycle, so when NC introduced with wristband it was exactly what I was looking for! The wristband along with NC has made tracking my cycle SO EASY!! The NC app does a really good job at educating you about your cycle too which has been so helpful. I’m 33 and have never been so in tune with my cycle thanks to NC.

never looking back

i am so happy with natural cycles. i don’t see myself going back to hormonal birth control every again. i was on homornal birth control from a very young age g age into adulthood. it took a toll on my
boys from no sex drive to flat lined hormones & depression. i’m grateful because i won’t try for kids for a couple years yet (in my mid 30s) and tracking with natural cycles i’m hopeful when the time comes it’ll be easier to conceive as well. it’s reliable and natural. so happy.

Recomendo!

Simplesmente amando o app!!!!

NC + Oura

The app feels outdated. You have to manually log oura data into NC. Some features are hard to understand. Way overpriced

Downhill the past year-about to discontinue use after 5 years

UPDATE: The app now relies heavily on ovulation tests to “predict” ovulation. Logging ovulation tests changes green and red days. This is extremely problematic and adds another opportunity for user error for an app that is supposed to be relying on an algorithm based on basal body temperature. Your customer support is non responsive and your development team obviously does NOT take these reviews or submitted suggestions for improvements into consideration despite your copy and paste replies or else we would have seen the changes we’ve asked for by now. The company does not value women’s health- only their bottom line. $159 a year for what? Profits over people.
Also, stop shoving AI down our throats.
Previous review:
Please update to be able to clearly see cycle day when clicking on future dates on the calendar like we used to see.
The 2 stars is because recent updates to the app have made it LESS user friendly. More buttons to do the same thing we used to do with fewer buttons. Also the yearly subscription price is astronomical- I have been using this app for almost 5 years and it’s just getting out of control with the pricing. I’ve not seen added value.
Being able to tap to focus during the ovulation test reader would be a long awaited and much needed improvement.

Not Enough Info Up Front

I bought this app, thinking I had a compatible garmin device to use with it. By the time I figured out only certain models work and mine isn’t one, I had already paid for the monthly subscription. I’m not going to spend $200+ on a new device on top of the price of the app. It’s just not worth it, I’m not that far into trying/tracking yet. It’s upsetting that I didn’t even use the app at all, and I got charged the full fee—imagine if I had gone ahead and paid for the year up front!! Feels gross to me.

Great

Works great for tracking everything I wish they had a few extra symptom and other things but it’s amazing

Pointless and inaccurate

Have been using this app along with oura ring for temp tracking. I have regular periods and after 6 months of use it still tells me every day is a ‘use protection’/‘red’ day, except during the days I’m actually on my period. And my periods are regular, which tells me their algorithm for prediction is just awful.

Not for night shift workers

The NC compatible wearables only use data taken from 7p-10am. NC states you only need 4 hours of sleep which isn’t accurate, after speaking to customer support you’ll find out you need 4 hours of sleep within 7p-10am. If you get home from work at 7am like I do your data wont be taken even if sleeping 8 hours straight. This information needs to be stated up front so shift workers don’t waste their money or time trying to get data to appear.
