Cycles: Period & Cycle Tracker

I really love this app. I have been using it for over 2 years now and this app is the best for me . I have been using other apps but this one is by far the most simple and practical. I like the presentation and how clear it is to see where you are in your cycle . You are not overwhelmed by info. I’m using the free version and I like the fact that you don’t feel pressured to signed up for the premium version but have a lot of features at your disposition when using the app .That makes you want to willingly pay to upgrade . I used the paid access to be able to share the access with my partner and he also loved that he can be aware of when I’m in my cycle to plan love nights. The developers definitely understand how to present what is necessary for us women .

I have been using the app for several months. I do like it. It has a few features that I don’t like but do keep it for the features it does have. I don’t like that you can spin the wheel and push the middle button and it changes the whole month. It could really cause problems if you are trying to avoid getting pregnant. I also don’t like that it’s not intuitive to the days in your cycle from month to month. If your actual cycle is say 24 days long, even for a few months. It will still show the next cycle with however many days you originally manually put your cycles are (say 26 days.) so it is not intuitive and if you don’t change it manually than the “prediction” of the ovulation day is off by days.

I was hoping to use the app to track and predict my irregular cycles. The amount of information you can input is awesome- basal body temp, mucus, etc. But it doesn't automatically calculate when your next period will be based off your previous ones you've tracked. You have to input your average cycle length yourself which I find really inconvenient and can be extremely inaccurate. I have to manually count how many days it has been between all of my periods and then add the total days, then divide the total by the number of periods to get the average. It would be so much more helpful if the app did this automatically. Another odd thing is that you can change the current day on the cycle view. Beyond just going back to yesterday to put in information, you can actually change the day to today being the 21st day in your cycle vs the 20th. So again this provides the opportunity for your data to be inaccurate. Other than that, the app is great. It doesn't crash, and it has an easy to use interface.
