### 4/5 — Reminders?

*2023-01-17, version 3.9.0*

Hey, I've been using this app for a few months now and I've always had the reminders work, but for some reason it's just stopped reminding me. I was wondering if there was anything I could do to fix it?

**Developer response:** Hi there,

Reminders are generated when you interact with the app. So just make sure to open it every now and then. 

If you have been doing that and still no luck, please let me know. 

Best regards,
Ernesto

### 2/5 — Needs to be fixed

*2020-05-12, version 3.9.0*

I take my pill on time however I don’t always note it right away so when I put I took the pill on time it says pending then it has a red alarm thingy on it to make it seem as if I look back I didn’t take it on time it’s ridiculous they need a new update.

**Developer response:** Hi mialacon!

The late feature is set to give a 30min -+ your time to take the pill. However, if you took the pill on time and just didn’t update it on the app, you can tap over the late red band on the day details to force it to be on time. This will be improved with a redesign of the app!

Best regards,
Ernesto

### 1/5 — Update messed up

*2020-03-03, version 3.8.0*

The update messed up my schedule so I take my pill on time but because the days no longer match up it keeps telling me that I took it late.

**Developer response:** Hi! 

Apologies for the time issues. The last update should’ve fixed it. Please let me know if that’s not the case. 

Best regards,
Ernesto

### 5/5 — Just One Tiny Suggestion 4.9/5.0✨

*2020-02-21, version 3.7.2*

I love the user friendliness of this app!! It is a great tool for keeping track of you birth control and monthly cycle. There is only one thing that I can think of the would be really handy to have... That is the ability to see past/previous months data. This would be a really handy feature to add possibly in the next update! 💜

**Developer response:** Hi!

Thank you for the feedback! I will look into the possibility of showing past cycles. If you have any other suggestions, please let me know. 

Best regards,
Ernesto

### 4/5 — Simple, good overall but needs a few tweaks/fixes

*2020-02-20, version 3.7.2*

Since one of the latest updates, app,  when closed, shows 1 unread/outstanding notification but there is nothing pointing at where it is. All pills are marked as taken and up to date. Even the very last update did not fix the issue, even though it did fix the most important one for me where the reminder was triggered with a 4 hour delay. Another thing to look at is that it doesn’t trigger reminder for a few days after the new cycle starts unless I go to the app myself first. 
I also have a suggestion to consider in the future to allow view history/prior months (unless I just can’t find where I can access that) at least 1 cycle back (for review, audit, etc).

**Developer response:** Hi Volly89,

Thank you very much for your feedback. I will look into the issues you reported, and allowing to check previous cycles should be possible, so I will look into implementing that in a future update. 

Best regards,
Ernesto

### 2/5 — My app won’t open?

*2019-10-15, version 3.6.0*

I downloaded the app for mi iPhone, but it doesn’t open...?

**Developer response:** Hi! 

The problems with the last version have been solved. Apologies it took this long. 

Best regards,
Ernesto

### 2/5 — Fails to remind

*2018-10-16, version 3.6.0*

I like the interface, but it often doesn’t remind me to take the pill on the first couple of days of the new cycle.

### 1/5 — Misleading app

*2018-06-22, version 3.6.0*

Birth control pills with estrogen and progesterone ARE DESIGNED TO MAKE WOMEN NOT TO OVULATE. Women on the pill DO NOT HAVE A FERTILE WINDOW. This app is all wrong. It's miainforming its users. I recommend women not to use it.

**Developer response:** Hi Barbara, that’s true as long as you don’t miss taking the pill. Missing pills or taking them out of the timeframe, and having sexual relations, can have undesired consequences. The fertile window in the app is just an informative feature, that you can easily disable if you wish. Of course, it’s best to always consult your doctor in that matter. I hope you have a nice day!

### 4/5 — Needs a few Tweaks...

*2018-01-28, version 3.5*

I like the app, but I wish there was an option to have constant reminders and be able to snooze them (constant reminders to annoy you until you mark your pill as taken). And an option to mark pill as taken from the notifications without opening the app.

**Developer response:** Hey 👋 If your device has 3D Touch, then you can use it over the notification to show the 'Mark as taken' option, if not you will need to slide and press 'View'. Same if you have an Apple Watch, opening the notification would display the option to mark the pill as taken without opening the app. Regarding the annoying notifications, its been requested before, I will be adding it soon. 

Thanks for your feedback! 

Best regards,
Ernesto

### 2/5 — Need more pill layouts

*2017-10-11, version 3.0*

I'm on Beyaz, a pill with 24 active days. There's no option to change the layout with this app. Useless unless you use a pill with the more common 21 day set.

**Developer response:** That's sadly true... I will take a look and try to bring that option in future updates. Thanks for your feedback!
Edit: the pill layout is now fully configurable in the latest version :-) thank you!
