I cannot articulate how how frustrated and upset I am right now, and if i could give it zero starts, I would. The update to the app lost ALL of my data; data that I have been carefully tracking and recording for years. In response to other reviews that complain about this issue, the creator states that the issue is not lost, but after signing in and completing the onboarding questionnaire, all logged data will be available. The problem with that is that this app never made me create an account. How can it restore information from an account that it never required me to create? As anticipated, when I requested my password be sent to my email, I was told the provided email was invalid. Why (WHY???), would an app make such sudden changes without first warning it’s users? This feels like such a betrayal of its loyal users. I will be deleting this app and finding a new one. I refuse to give my personal information to a company that clearly cannot be trusted. I’m sure the creators had their reasons for doing what they did, but their callous disregard for their users, evidenced by the complaints of those users, demonstrates they don’t really understand what they’re doing. Given the fear about how our private health information could be used in the current climate eroding women’s rights, I highly recommend finding a tracking app more competent and responsible than this one.

I’m really impressed with this app. I’m a registered dietitian so I always assess the nutrition recommendations closely, and I think the information provided is fantastic. It drives me insane when apps suggest super specific diets that promise to cure all your health issues (spoiler: they won’t and your grocery bill is going to be insane). The recommendations here are general enough that anyone can modify them to their preferences and they’re actually accurate. The quick facts provided regarding how you might feel physically during the phase you’re in are super helpful as well. I’ve always noticed difficulty breathing during aerobic exercise the week before my period and now I have a better understanding of how my hormones are affecting that. I also appreciate that they don’t just suggest doing yoga everyday like some other resources.

It irritates the mess out of me that cramps are labelled “stomach cramps” (as if that organ has anything to do with menstruation - though at last check science still doesn’t know if cramps originate in the uterus or the cervix so whatevs). The app also lacks any tracking of cervical fluid and could benefit from a screen that shows cycle patterns over time but for the most part it’s doing the basic job of calendaring.
