Welcome to MyRing — the cleanest way to keep your contraceptive ring on track. A focused home screen, smart reminders and a full cycle diary in one place, so you never have to wonder where you are in your cycle. ▶ Always know if you're protected At a glance the home screen tells you whether you're safely covered or whether additional protection is needed. When the ring is inserted late or worn too long, MyRing flags it clearly and shows what to do next — including when emergency contraception or a pregnancy test are recommended. ▶ Reminders that fit your life Set the exact times you want to be reminded about inserting and removing the ring.

Confirm an action right from your wrist with the Apple Watch app — no need to open the iPhone. ▶ Your cycle, clearly mapped The calendar shows past and upcoming ring days at a glance, with mood, period, notes and appointments overlaid on the matching day. Tap any cycle to fine-tune it: adjust the removal date, the wear time or the pause without losing your history. ▶ Even in the pause week MyRing keeps your diary, period intensity and well-being notes running during the ring-free week — your record stays continuous all month. ▶ Features • Reliable reminders for inserting and removing your ring • Real-time protection status with safety guidance • Apple Watch app — confirm actions from your wrist • Calendar overlay with mood, period, notes and appointments • Diary across the whole cycle including the pause week • Customisable reminder time, message and optional 24-h preview • Editable cycle history — change wear time, pause or dates after the fact • Optional pause-after-N-cycles for extended-use schedules • Personal colour coding for insertion and removal events • 24+ mood and symptom tags, four period intensities • Quick appointment tracking with reminders • Skip the ring break when needed • Encrypted cloud backup of your cycle and diary • Works offline — reminders fire without an internet connection • No ads on Pro Download MyRing and never lose track of your contraceptive ring again.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: MyRing at every 5 days against Birth Control Pill Reminder +'s every 22 months. MyRing also leads on ratings volume (711 vs 26). Birth Control Pill Reminder +'s advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. MyRing sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.79 per month and Birth Control Pill Reminder + sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Birth Control Pill Reminder + holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyRing has 711 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of MyRing's written reviews are positive against 17% of Birth Control Pill Reminder +'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MyRing ships an update every 5 days, Birth Control Pill Reminder + every 22 months. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
