Reminders?

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?

you cant do anything

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

Needs to be fixed

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.

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

Update messed up

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.

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

Just One Tiny Suggestion 4.9/5.0✨

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! 💜

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

Simple, good overall but needs a few tweaks/fixes

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).

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

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

Hi! The problems with the last version have been solved. Apologies it took this long. Best regards, Ernesto

Fails to remind

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.

Misleading app

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.

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!

Needs a few Tweaks...

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.

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

Need more pill layouts

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.

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!

It's a good app but..

I really like this app, I've downloaded a bunch of birth control reminder apps trying them out because I'm horrible at remembering to take my pill. I like how it lets me know when my fertile window is and everything. But it keeps deleting where I've marked as taken for the past days. And then I have to go back and mark everyday as taken again. If I didn't have that problem I would rate 5 stars no questions asked

Hi, with the last version of the app this behaviour should be fixed.. could you confirm if that's still happening? The reason for this to happen is because I got the app ready to start working in extensions of the app such as the Apple Watch.. Best regards, Ernesto

Very useful

I've been using this app for a few months and its totally kept me on track. I'm an extremely forgetful person, but the notifications remind me and the "Mark pill as taken" option keeps me accountable. It's also nice to be able to look back at days I took my pill later or earlier than normal, my fertile days, and my feelings.
When I first got the app I kinda ignored the feelings chart because I thought it was irrelevant. It actually ended up really helping me to understand myself better, and I really like that feature now.
The only thing I am not really a big fan of in the newest update is the switch from words to emojis in the Feelings chart. It looks really cute but I would like to be able to know for sure what the emojis mean. Other than that, the new layout and design features are really nice.
I would completely recommend this app, because other than the new emoji-based chart, everything is close to perfect. Thank you to the creators and design team!

Hi! Thank you very much for your feedback! About the feelings feature. I'm still looking for the balance, between usability and a good design, to make it easy to use. I decided to use emojis in this case, because when talking about feelings, it helps to more widely describe in which range are you on that day, without the need to use a specific word, such as Angry or Great, and still be accurate enough to let you know how it was in future cycles. Like using a scale of how you feel from 1 to 10, being 1 the worst. I know it's not perfect, so will continue working to improve it. Thank you again and hope you have a nice day! Best regards, Ernesto

Love love

Absolutely love this app. I downloaded other apps to see if I'd like them. I didn't. This is by far the best. It gives me notification that I need to take my pill And I mark it. So simple

Thanks a lot for your feedback! I'm really happy to hear that. I keep working on it, so if there is anything you would like to see on the app, you can contact me through email.

Best app

Great app!!!! Tells me my fertile windows and the day that I ovulate and also a great way to keep me on track in taking my pill I can set the time that I need to be reminded at and I can choose the theme of my calendar best app for girls who's on the pill 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Meh.

I loved this app until the recent update. It made it way to complicated. All I wanted was a reminder and somewhere to mark off my taken pill. If I don't mark my pill as taken right away it shows that I took it late. If it shows very late I can't mark the next days pill as taken. And it also won't remind me which is the whole point of the app!!! With a small baby I don't have time to fumble around looking for my phone the second I take my pill. I deleted it.

Hi, It wasn't my intention to make it more complicated, but to give more to those of you that wanted more. What you said about showing the pill taken as late, is optional, it means that you could enable/disable in the settings, so the pills would never be shown as late even if you mark it as taken few days later. And about not reminding you, it's not supposed to happen.. I wish you could give it a try again, but I will understand if you don't.. anyway, I wish you to have a happy life with your little one! Best regards, Ernesto

Works fine

Only reviewing cuz I'm sick of it asking me to review the app every two seconds.

Hi, I know and I'm sorry about this that took so long, this has been fixed in the recent updates (since 2.0 to be more specific). Best regards, Ernesto

Simple

It's very simple and straightforward that's why I love this app and it's gotten me into the habit of taking my pill. I was so bad at remembering on my own

Simple yet effective

There isn't much to it, but if your only looking to be reminded of when you need to take your pill, it's perfect. Also has the option to "snooze" and be reminded 15 minutes later. It's what I count on to remember, lol. Also, the fact that it has a calendar based on your cycle is amazing because you can see exactly what dates you'll be on your period without searching a normal calendar. The free version only lets you see the next three months or so but that is enough for most.
