1. [R1] Natural Cycles Fertility App 1/5 · US BEWARE- NO REFUNDS: They claimed they sent an email regarding auto renewal, but it was never received. The day it renewed I reached out to them in the AM and they said their policy is to not do refunds. I clearly have not used the year of the product. Seems very suspect that they would not refund and seems to speak to their product.
2. [R4] Natural Cycles Fertility App 1/5 · US Cannot use with other birth controls: When signing up for a membership, NOWHERE does it say you cannot use cycle tracking if using another form of hormonal birth control. Its also ridiculously expensive. $21 a month to track data you’re already getting from a $500 oura ring? No.
3. [R10] Natural Cycles Fertility App 1/5 · US Shady and predatory subscription policies.: Tried this app for a month and didn’t love it and switched to a different one. Didn’t realize the subscription was still auto-renewing and it renewed for a full year with no way to get a refund. Most apps nowadays offer a grace period to refund when you didn’t actually mean to renew. Not offering this is shady, surely everyone that works at this company
4. [R12] Natural Cycles Fertility App 3/5 · US Too expensive now: I’ve been using this app for YEARS and fell in love with it. Now it’s wayy too expensive and I refuse to go from paying the $84/year to a WHOPPING $139 I believe?! So so sad to leave this app behind but something like this should be affordable or at least have affordable options. Was nice while it lasted!
5. [R3] Natural Cycles Fertility App 3/5 · US Red days all month except: I like not having to be on BC, and I love all of the education in the app, but I’ve been using NC now for going on 6 months and I’m annoyed that this has basically become “no sex all month except for a day or two before your period and a day or two after your period.” Quite literally. I’m tracking every day, and even taking ovulation tests and putting the ovulation test
6. [R13] Natural Cycles Fertility App 1/5 · US Not once has it predicted my cycle correctly: I’ve been using this app for over a year and I don’t think one time has it predicted my cycle correctly. Unless your cycle is already 100% predictable, it’s garbage. If you have any kind of fertility challenges, don’t even try with this app. I don’t know what they claim as an “algorithm” but all it seems to do for me is “predict” the furthest out ovula
7. [R28] Natural Cycles Fertility App 1/5 · US Awful waste of money: I’ve been logging religiously for 7 months and it still can’t even predict my period. The apple health app predicts it every time. This app is off by an entire week some times. Still have no idea when I’m ovulating.
8. [R38] Natural Cycles Fertility App 1/5 · US NOT EFFECTIVE: I used Natural Cycles as birth control as I wanted to get off my hormonal birth control. I got pregnant within two months of perfect use. And I mean PERFECT use. Please consider alternative birth control methods.
9. [R2] Natural Cycles Fertility App 4/5 · US App does not update: App doesn’t update when you switch modes. For example- I wanted to switch from birth control to follow pregnancy in the settings. I have tried multiple times, made sure the app was updated, and attempted trouble shooting. Great app otherwise but, frustrating when it is such an expensive app and then I can’t use it in the setting that I need.
10. [R6] Natural Cycles Fertility App 3/5 · US Was Perfect: This app was great until the most recent update. Now it takes forever to sync with my Oura Ring. I have to reload it several times before it actually does anything. I never had this problem until they updated the app.
11. [R11] Natural Cycles Fertility App 4/5 · US Glitchy app: I have been using Natural Cycles as birth control for almost 2 years and while I have had a positive experience, my only complaint is how glitchy the app is sometimes. I have to open my Oura ring app to load my data for the day over and over and for some reason the Natural Cycles app struggles to communicate with my oura app. It’s very frustrating. Today I have tried to get the Oura a
12. [R15] Natural Cycles Fertility App 3/5 · GB Was great before the sleep tracking update: The recent update with sleep tracking seems to have broken the temperature tracking algorithm. I’ve had a few years of stable cycles, and the last two have had wildly different temperature processing, resulting in ovulation not being correctly tracked. The rest of my cycle is regular, the only difference has been the updates.
13. [R30] Natural Cycles Fertility App 1/5 · US Scammy: I bought a subscription hoping to use it after getting off my current birth control. What the app didn’t tell before it prompted me to buy a subscription (I couldn’t go any further into the app without one) is that 1. I cannot use it while still having an IUD (I was trying to get ahead of tracking the cycle so I knew where I was at when it was removed). And 2. My Apple Watch apparently isn
14. [R7] Natural Cycles Fertility App 1/5 · US Can’t disable AI: I love natural cycles but they recently started using AI and there is no way to disable it. I will have to stop using it if they do not add a feature to disable it soon. I do not support the use of AI due to its environmental impact. I also think it is keeping everyone stupid just like the government wants us. That’s a big enough deal for me to stop using a company that I love.
15. [R9] Natural Cycles Fertility App 3/5 · US Not worth it if you have an oura ring: I’ve had my oura ring for almost a year now and have never had any complaints about the cycle tracking. It gets to be really accurate when you’ve had your oura ring for a while. I figured I’d try the Natural Cycles app because it seemed like it was going to give me better cycle insights than my oura ring. I got the app and if anything it seems to be less accu
16. [R16] Natural Cycles Fertility App 1/5 · US Deceptive Renewal Practices: They send out an email but it’s a very generic subject line (Your NC Journey) and easily missed. Any subscription renewal reminder should be obvious. No refunds. I’ve had better data with the Oura so this is getting canceled now.
17. [R51] Flo Cycle & Period Tracker 2/5 · US What Happened to this app?: It was the best app that I’ve ever had but now every single thing is asking for membership even tracking for fertility. This is too much. Only you can see expected period that’s all that you have.
18. [R52] Flo Cycle & Period Tracker 5/5 · US About the FLO: It’s a fantastic app to find your period
19. [R53] Flo Cycle & Period Tracker 3/5 · US Age limit: My daughter is 12 years old and she got her period for the first time today and from a very nice friend this app was suggested but it won't let her use the app because she is only 12 please reconsider your age limits because the common period ages to get it is 8-16 thank you please reconsider
20. [R54] Flo Cycle & Period Tracker 2/5 · US Ridiculous pricing: The subscription for this is actually ridiculous. Tell me why I can’t access ALMOST ANYTHING without a $20 a month subscription, for things that I can genuinely look up on google? This app has no features that are anywhere remarkable compared to other apps.
21. [R65] Clue Period & Cycle Tracker 1/5 · US Charged me without my knowledge: it started to randomly charge my card when i never started a subscription, other then that a good app
22. [R66] Clue Period & Cycle Tracker 5/5 · US Ovulation: For the past years clue has helped me track my ovulation days and have successfully avoided conceiving without having to rely on birth control and poisoning my body.
23. [R67] Clue Period & Cycle Tracker 3/5 · US “Free” trial: The period tracking feature is honestly great it’s organized, helpful, and easy to use. That’s exactly why I’m so disappointed with the way the 7-day Clue Plus “free” trial is handled. I was charged $21.26 the second I started a trial that was clearly advertised as FREE. Everything I read made it sound like I would be charged after the 7-day trial ended if not canceled, not the mome
24. [R68] Clue Period & Cycle Tracker 1/5 · US Worse experience than years ago; not worth staying for: I've used Clue since 2013 and I am ready to go back to using analog methods. I've paid for premium for years to remove ads, but every time I open the app I'm still getting banners telling me about connectivity for different wearables. This cannot be turned off. Customer support says these are not ads, but they are absolutely implicit ads for
25. [R79] Glow Eve Period Tracker 1/5 · US Terrible customer support!!!: The customer service for this app is the worst!! I’m pretty sure my account has been hacked because someone has posted comments in several chat rooms in the app and they are not comments that I would even make. I sent an email to support and have yet to receive a response. I tried to change my password and guess what…I have to contact support. Well I hope the hacker h
26. [R80] Glow Eve Period Tracker 5/5 · US Super app: Świetne aplikacje
27. [R81] Glow Eve Period Tracker 3/5 · US Used to be great, now cluttered with ads: I’ve been using Eve for over a decade and would recommend it to every woman I know. However now the app is so littered with pop ups and ads for their own upselling that I really don’t like it. I’ve switched to just tracking on Oura.
28. [R82] Glow Eve Period Tracker 1/5 · US Constant Ads to Pay for Premium: This app is essentially unusable at the free tier. Every little click to try to log anything and a pop-up comes up trying to get you to pay for their premium plan. Ridiculous, annoying. There are plenty of good free options that have all the same functions, this app isn’t anything special.
29. [R93] Stardust Period Tracker 1/5 · US Privacy violations: From an article in Tech Crunch 7/16/26: “‘Your data is private. Period,’ says period tracker Stardust on its website. As new research by Mozilla discovered, some users might find that claim to be a stretch. According to Mozilla’s latest findings examining the privacy practices of period-tracking apps, Stardust was found to be sharing users’ sensitive health information with thi
30. [R94] Stardust Period Tracker 5/5 · US Life Saver!!: Love it! When I’m feeling horrendous and am about to snap and say something I’ll regret to someone I love, I am able to look at this and remind myself it’s the luteal phase lol. Great insights as well, love that it ties in astrology.
31. [R95] Stardust Period Tracker 3/5 · US I mean it’s okay: It’s okay but you have to pay for basically everything. Like sure it’s not as much as other apps are but you still have to pay for practically anything. Because you have by o have super for all of the play/good things. But otherwise I like the app and it’s pretty nice.
32. [R96] Stardust Period Tracker 1/5 · US “period app made by women for women”: On the ads for this app, it ALWAYS talks about how it’s more accurate because a woman made it and talks down on other period apps “made by men”. But this app is LITERALLY the most inaccurate period app i’ve EVER been on 😭. i transferred all my info from “period calendar” app to this one and i know i start today because my app is always correct. but when i tran
33. [R107] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker 2/5 · US The community feature is obnoxious and horrific: I had to delete this app solely because of the community section. The sheer volume of questions that completely lack common sense or basic research is exhausting. With so many resources at our fingertips, it’s frustrating to see the forum flooded with things that a simple Internet search could solve. If you are looking for an intelligent, evidence-b
34. [R108] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker 5/5 · US LOVE THIS APP: So easy to use. So many options to customize. Going through IVF it even gave me options for that! And free! Absolutely amazing!
35. [R109] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker 3/5 · US HATE THE NEW UPDATE: I really enjoyed being able to customize the app using the cute color theme that have been available FOR YEARS. Why is it necessary to take the color and fun out of everything.
36. [R110] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker 1/5 · US Good until update: I like this app but the recent update messed up the counts on past cycles so now they all say 59 or 59 or whatever days.
37. [R5] Natural Cycles Fertility App 5/5 · US Great hormonal BC alternative!: I got off hormonal BC after a bad experience and have been refreshed by natural cycles! It’s worked great for BC and has helped understand my body better and feel healthier/happier. It’s also a great way for my husband to get involved and learn more about my cycle and trends. I know it might not work for everyone but I’ve loved it and recommend it.
38. [R8] Natural Cycles Fertility App 5/5 · US Love it: I’ve been using Natural Cycles for two months now, and I absolutely love it! Before using it, I didn’t really understand my cycle or know how to recognize what my body was telling me. Now I feel like I’m finally getting to know my body. So far, I haven’t gotten pregnant 🤣, and the app has helped me better understand my fertile days, my temperature patterns, and my cycle overall. It’s mad
39. [R14] Natural Cycles Fertility App 5/5 · US This app has been so helpful!! :): I have loved using this app for over a year now! It is so great for natural family planning!☺️ It has truly helped me get to learn more about my cycle and how my body works!
40. [R25] Natural Cycles Fertility App 5/5 · US Love it!!!!: This process of tracking my fertility via an app was scary to me at first because it is a lot of information to trust someone with, but not only has this been super effective, but I’ve learned so much about myself and my body along the way! I am very thankful for NC!
41. [R22] Natural Cycles Fertility App 1/5 · US Misleading subscription cancellation: I tried canceling my subscription several months ago through apple subscriptions, but was just charged an annual fee anyway. So after digging some more, I found out you have to cancel through their app. Getting a hold of anyone in customer service is impossible. They just scammed me out of $159.99. So on top of being perimenopausal and my chances of conceiving
42. [R36] Natural Cycles Fertility App 1/5 · US Super expensive: There is no free version. Only a $150 a year version. No thanks.
43. [R35] Natural Cycles Fertility App 5/5 · US Love this app: Just had baby #4 8 months ago, and I used this app before to get pregnant it worked and this time want it to not get pregnant I have also paired it with the Oura ring as well, I’ve been on a mini birth control pill and breastfeeding for 8 months and it has wrecked my sex drive and my moods / personality. I wanted my body back and so did my husband and since I was weaning baby from b
44. [R39] Natural Cycles Fertility App 5/5 · US LOVE this app!: I have been using this app for almost 2 years. I started with their thermometer, but now track my data through the Oura Ring. The thermometer method took a bit of time to remember to use it right when I wake up. The ring is so much easier since I don’t have to do anything besides wear the ring. It does take some time to gather data, so unprotected sex days are very limited at first
45. [R56] Flo Cycle & Period Tracker 3/5 · US Good: Too many adds but good otherwise.
46. [R59] Flo Cycle & Period Tracker 3/5 · US love the app but not the premium: don’t get me wrong i love the app but it’s like the premium pops up a lot and it’s like what do you mean that i have to get premium just for me to change my little profile picture and it’s like i want to be able to learn more but i have to get premium to learn more like what a joke!!
47. [R114] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker 5/5 · US New User Ovia+: So far so good have been using the app for a month. Looking forward to seeing and learning trends over time. Easy interface design and able to enter info while on the go.
48. [R117] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker 4/5 · US Ovi-ously Loving This Free App!: I enjoy how easy it is to use and the fact that it is free is an additional bonus! It offers functionality, simplicity and ease. I feel like it is my personal self-care app and it gives the freedoms to write, log and journal my feelings/thoughts, my body autonomy, changes and the tracking of my XXX rated activities with my lover is perfect for trying to convince.
