You can’t skip it and go to make an account, it forces you to put in answers that aren’t need nor relevant to track your symptoms/condition and most questions imply that you hate your body but omg it’s okay bc they’re being cute about it! “Oh you have PCOS you must be OVERWEIGHT and think you’re DISGUSTING.” Gave me the ick- ### 2/5 — Can’t afford it *2026-08-27, version 2.38.0* I have PCOS, and I struggle everyday, even trying to get on disability. This app is too expensive at $69.99 a year or $14 a month. ### 3/5 — Has good potential but isn’t there yet *2026-08-18, version 2.37.0* Has the right elements they just don’t work. The lessons don’t play. The food tracking is not accurate or helpful. The meals are too over the top for every day. The workouts are too short. If they work on developing the elements more and actually get someone with PMOS knowledge behind it, it could be very helpful and useful. ### 3/5 — Helpful Features, Needs Improvement *2026-08-15, version 2.37.0* I really like a lot of the features this app offers. The cycle tracking, workouts, water tracking, recipes, and general food logging are all helpful, and I think the app has a lot of potential. However, the food feedback can be discouraging and feels overly restrictive at times. For example, I logged a banana and the app essentially flagged it as a poor choice for PCOS because of its sugar and glycemic impact. I also had a yogurt and received similar feedback. I understand that blood sugar and carbohydrate intake can be relevant to PCOS, but labeling everyday foods like fruit and yogurt as “suboptimal” feels unnecessarily negative. Another issue is that the app does not seem to clearly distinguish between naturally occurring sugar and added sugar when giving its daily sugar feedback. This makes the sugar limit feel misleading, especially when foods like fruit and dairy are contributing to the total. I think the app would be much more helpful if it focused on the overall quality and balance of someone’s diet rather than making individual foods feel “good” or “bad.” I want to use the app to understand my habits and support my health, not feel guilty for eating a banana. Overall, I like the features enough to keep using it, but I hope the nutrition feedback becomes more nuanced and less restrictive. Wish I didn’t spend $70 for the year. ### 2/5 — Why can’t an app that will actually help be free *2026-08-10, version 2.36.0* Genuinely I will never understand the greed. I get it but at the same time, offer a plan with ads or something that’s free like wtf. ### 5/5 — Can’t justify pricing for pcos *2026-08-04, version 2.36.0* I can afford or justify the price for this it seems like a really good up just diabolical of pricing I have pcos and I’m trying to find an app to help and having to pay is just too much ### 5/5 — PCOS, yes! *2026-08-03, version 2.36.0* The app is super easy and efficient! For someone like me who newly discovered PCOS my life is slowly starting to make sense. With PCOS Pal I know I’m taking the right steps to help better my life and health! Looking forward to the future on this app! ### 1/5 — Requires subscription & negative language/ fear mongering *2026-08-01, version 2.36.0* My review is only based on the opening of the app, which requires you to answer 30 or so question about your relationship with your PCOS and your body and self confidence. All of them have a negative connotation towards PCOS and don’t offer the opportunity to be positive. For example: what prevents you from going on a night out? Your body? Your weight? Your self confidence? There was no neutrality or positivity in those initial questions and makes me wonder what kind of subtle language things like that are within the app. Personally, I don’t want to approach my health from a place of powerlessness and “gain back my power”. There’s also no free option for using the app without paying for a subscription! ### 2/5 — Don’t recommend for some people *2026-07-29, version 2.36.0* I didn’t like how it’s basically centered around weight loss. I’m like 108 lbs and don’t need to lose weight. There are a million other pcos symptoms that could be addressed. ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-07-27, version 2.36.0* I downloaded that app thinking it would be free and it isn’t back to square one on helping manage pcos ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — BS *2026-08-29, version 2.38.0* I have PCOS and wanted to use this app to help me lose the little bit that will get me over that hump of weight loss that I am at. You have to pay to use this dang app who has 200 just laying around or even 70 each month I sure as heck don’t . Same thing happens with other apps that help you eat or drink right or even helps if have gluten issues. Why should have pay for access to app to help better our lives ? ### 1/5 — AI buddy *2026-08-28, version 2.38.0* As if AI was what we needed. This app is fully generated from AI. The daily lessons are just a robot. Some of which aren’t fully recorded. Absolutely a scam. ### 1/5 — Have to pay *2026-08-25, version 2.38.0* Have to pay can’t even try it for free ### 1/5 — Gutted *2026-08-24, version 2.38.0* I got so excited wanting to try the app then after downloading it to find you have to pay for it which unfortunately I am unable to do that at the moment so gutted as was excited to hopefully get some help with my pcos. ### 1/5 — Why? *2026-08-19, version 2.37.0* Why charge for an app if you won’t even let people put their true weight unless they are under 265lbs. ### 1/5 — Worst PCOS app ever *2026-08-17, version 2.37.0* Literally expects you to be a certain kind of way boxed you in specifically on certain aspects can track your proper weight. Doesn’t give a free trial at all tried make you pay a absurd amount for cheap information ### 1/5 — $20 a month to prey on women that have run out of options *2026-08-12, version 2.37.0* This app is so scummy. The original subscription price is $20/month. If you don’t go for it they offer you a discount. If you still don’t take that, they offer another discount but still no free trial, just week free trial if you sign up for $20/month after the week is over. Not to mention the app is riddled with AI, someone just threw the app together to prey on women that are tired of dealing with PCOS. Women, please, I urge you, see a nutritionist. Get the bloodwork done. Keep seeing doctors until something helps you, because an app is not going to. ### 1/5 — Nothings free *2026-08-11, version 2.36.0* I was really excited to try this after hearing good things sadly 0 features are free to use. Simply can’t afford $14 a week. ### 1/5 — Not worth it UNLESS they fix this issue *2026-08-07, version 2.36.0* Don’t be like me an impulsively buy the lifetime subscription ( especially discounted.) I regret that, this app seems great but I don’t use it anymore since the uploading part of the food is completely off. You can log your meal, and then do it again and it give you two completely different numbers. Ontop of that the scanning of the food doesn’t work. It seems like it did when I did a free trail. As soon as I paid for the app I would scan in a coffee that had the nutrient label stating all the facts, and the scanner was completely off. I did it multiple times where it gave me numbers such as calories 100, 300, 500 etc. okay no big deal. I’ll manually add food to my log. I did that, and again it gave me completely different numbers. It makes me question how creditable this is in tracking meals, tracking exercise as well as tips it provides. It really sucks because I feel this would be a great tool if the developers really cared about women with PCOS instead of sloppily slapping together a program that looks promising but isn’t. Just another money grab. I wasted $60 just to go back to a free app that I’ve been using for years. Hopefully you don’t have to. ### 1/5 — Thieves!! *2026-08-03, version 2.36.0* I literally canceled my free subscription ahead of time and they charged me anyway! Now i have to fight to get my money back dishonest and i didnt even find it helpful to make it worst ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I can’t afford it!!! *2026-08-30, version 2.38.0* I want to try this app but I can’t afford it. It’s sad because you can’t try the app until you pay for it. I’m a college student who can barely afford rent. This is why so many people have to live with the symptoms because help is too expensive. I would have loved to try it but oh well🥲 ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-26, version 2.38.0* This has made my health journey so much easier! ### 5/5 — Extremely helpful and considerate! *2026-08-25, version 2.38.0* Love the app! The support team really helped with any troubles I was having with the subscription and made sure to make it right on their end! Will definitely keep recommending them to anyone who struggles with PCOS ### 5/5 — I love this app! *2026-08-23, version 2.38.0* This app has helped me so much! I love it and recommend it if you are needing help with your PCOS! ### 5/5 — fake free subscription *2026-08-16, version 2.37.0* subscription was too high, went to delete and the deal was still too much so they offered i could email to get it for free and gave me a dead email that doesnt deliver anything. i wouldve been fine just deleting and moving on but doing all of that is kinda cruel ### 5/5 — Kind *2026-08-12, version 2.37.0* Very helpful ### 5/5 — Great app and even better people who run it! *2026-08-11, version 2.37.0* I was diagnosed with pmos a year or two ago and it has been a struggle trying to find an app that tailors to your nutritional needs. It’s even better that they have recipes, it’s always a struggle to find pmos friendly recipes, saves so much time no longer having to scour the internet for recipes or information on pmos. When I first got the app, it required a subscription, I did not have the funds at the time and had seen people reach out to Sarah where she provided a free subscription for a year. I did the same and reached out, she gave me a free year of the app and I’m loving it <3 ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-08-07, version 2.36.0* I love how easy it is to use the app and makes my life so much easier since I don’t have to think of anything with meal prep or remember numbers for tracking ### 5/5 — Life changing *2026-08-05, version 2.36.0* I thought no one felt the way I did, now I have a sisterhood. I recommend this app over all the others I’ve tried. Sarah is an amazing human and I’m so blessed to have found this app ♡ ### 5/5 — Amazing app and even more amazing support!!! *2026-08-04, version 2.36.0* I was looking for a PCOS app to help me better understand and manage my symptoms, but I couldn’t afford the subscription. I reached out to support hoping they might have a solution, and Sarah responded with so much kindness and understanding. She provided me with a full year of the app for free and even told me to reach out again next year if I still needed help. It’s rare to find a company that genuinely cares about making its resources accessible to people who need them. The app itself has been incredibly helpful, and the customer support is truly outstanding. If you’re considering downloading PCOS Pal, I highly recommend it. And if cost is holding you back, don’t be afraid to reach out—they treat people with compassion and respect. Thank you, Sarah, and the PCOS Pal team, for making me feel supported. ❤️ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
