Useless App
This app is quite frustrating. You’d have to be a fertility doctor to know what your scores mean. There’s no graph of your scores, explanation of what they mean, or comparison to the norm or your peers. I know you can meet with a coach through oova, and it’s hard not to imagine that they’ve made things so limited that you have to pay extra to meet with one of their coaches.

Why is scanning so difficult?
I just started using this kit and I’m on day 2, but each time I try to scan it takes forever to line it up in a way that it will actually scan. I have to keep going back and forth until the app will scan, it’s really annoying. I have to do it so many times that I’m worried I’m cutting it close on the 5 minute window of time I have to scan each of the 2 strips. This user experience should be improved.

Terrible
Can’t make any changes! It asked for the first day of my last period and average cycle length and is now telling me I’m on the first day of my period but it hasn’t even started yet! And I can’t change it. This app is awful.
Great app
Using it for hormone tracking. Great product.
Fav tracking app!
Very user friendly and I love the fact that I can now easily track ovulation and fertility more accurately. I love that I have an overall understanding of my hormone levels throughout the month too. And bonus - the app is visually pleasing and very intuitive to use. Can’t recommend enough.
Super useful!
This product gave me so much insight on my cycle! Thank you!!!
Helps cycle tracking
Oova has helped me track my cycle and further understand my hormone trends.
First time I’ve ever reviewed an ap
My experience has been so horrible I feel compelled to warn others. This ap is a scam. For the last month I was charged almost $100 for tests that will not scan and say they are expired. This has cost me a month of data collection for our attempts to conceive. Customer service has not responded to my many emails and messages through the ap. Try another service!

Peace of mind
I am extremely happy with this product and the company. I feel confident in the hormone tracking services but more than that I am so pleased with customer service. I’ve had a slight issue with the test strips (my fault, not anything wrong with the product) and Angela has been so kind and helpful anytime I’ve had issues and has really helped give me peace of mind as well as answered any questions I had. She responds so quickly which I appreciate since tracking my ovulation is time sensitive . It really helps me feel even more confident in this product that anytime I’ve had an issue i can talk to a real person who will help resolve the problem and make sure I am getting the most out of this fertility tracking service. I love being able to see my exact hormone levels, and not just my LH as with most ovulation kits but my progesterone levels too. Bc of OOVA I am more in tune with my body and recognizing other signs of ovulation that are then confirmed with the test strips. Overall I am very happy and I will be recommending this to all my friends !

Need more functionality
For how expensive this is ($150 for the starter kit and $100 for refill tests) I expected much more functionality in the app. You can only log one result a day and it doesn’t warn you when you log the second. Therefore I lost the result for my only “peak” result for the month, as by the evening it was down to “low.” Customer service gave me instructions for how to log a second result in the Notes of the other result! That is way more manual than I expect from an expensive product. Secondly, I don’t have a report yet because I haven’t finished a full cycle so I don’t know what reports look like, but right now there’s no way to see the data across time (no graphs or visuals). Instead I have to go to the calendar and click each day to see the results. I’ve resorted to plotting it in Excel like it’s 2008. Honestly I feel like I’ve been ripped off. I’m sure there’s a much cheaper way to test progesterone, and clear blue digital LH tests are also much cheaper. Lastly, not enough insights. I have to Google to figure out what the progesterone levels might mean - I wish the app would provide bite sized insights based on my data. I’ll keep using for now since I already spent the money, and using clear blue digital tests concurrently.

Great improvements in usability!
When I started using the app around early Fall of 2022, it was more confined with only being able to scan during the scan window, and reports would sometimes not work well. There have been some great improvements to the app over the past 1-2 months though, and it works much better for me now. I can scan any time I want instead of just during the recommended scan window, and I can generate reports whenever I want, as well as share those reports when needed.

Does not work
Never detected my LH or progesterone while the $20 regular tests worked perfect. Don’t waste your time or money.
Can’t recommend.
I can’t recommend this app & these very expensive test strips. As a woman TTC, tracking so many different things, please don’t waste more money on these strips. This app LOCKS YOU OUT of scanning strips and giving you the results if the day you’re scanning doesn’t match their automatically calculated window. If you miss their LH testing window, guess what, you can’t test progesterone that month. I even tried manipulating the cycle dates just to get a number/ratio for Pdg that I could put into Fertility Friend. It didn’t work. I wanted to compare against Proov strips.
Because I didn’t use these tests for LH testing (I used my premom cheapo tests), they became $90 trash.
The app itself is the one that plays the controlling mother in this situation. You can see the strip results of course (LH, then Pdg, then Control line), but it’s almost impossible to know what it means with any accuracy without the app. Stick the tried and true cheaper tests. If you really want to try Pdg testing, I’d recommend Proov over this. That app will give you a result whether you tested on the right day or not. Proov simply doesn’t give you an interpretation if you messed it up. I’m fine with that because I have a doctor to help me interpret my cycle issues.

No instructions
My kit came with no instructions and the app has no instructions either
Needs an update for iPhone 13
I loved this app but unfortunately it is completely incompatible with iPhone 13. It interrupted my scanning mid-cycle so I needed to install on a different device to not have any disruption.
Easy and efficient
This app is a life-saver! It’s extremely user-friendly!
Great app
Easy to use and very accurate
