My Moontime™ Period Tracker

I really enjoy this app and find it useful to track the phases of my hormonal menstrual cycle, not just when I’m bleeding. It helps me navigate and understand my moods. And it helps with my relationships too. I like that this app helps me look at my cycle in a positive perspective, especially since that’s not the current norm. The onboarding directions were great. I also liked the low cost subscription (much more affordable then other period tracker apps out now). I also enjoyed that this app doesn’t sell my data and bombard me with ads. I get that all apps are a business and need money to stay in business. But I’d rather pay the business then have my private menstrual data sold off to who knows where. I’ve been recommending this app to all my friends!

This app is great as long as your cycle is fully on time. Mine was a week late which is very unusual and when I put the new time of menstruating, it didn’t reflect the change in the days of my cycle. It still tells me that my next moon time will be a week before I can actually expect it. This doesn’t make sense to me. My other app adjusts when my body does. I really really want to like this app. I love the concept and I love the daily reminders of The different phases and archetypes. It just doesn’t work as far as showing you when you’re actually supposed to bleed again which is kind of the point. Right? If they sort this issue out then I would jump back on. But for now I will cancel... doesn’t make sense to keep some thing that isn’t actually tracking my timing.

I bought the annual subscription last year, and, even after the update some months ago, I still feel immensely dissatisfied. I am not really sure what I am paying for. At the very least, I expected to see the four phases of the lunar cycle on the month view to see how it coincides with my own cycle. In my opinion, the affirmations seem very generic, and, in general, there is no way that I can integrate this app into my own life. Furthermore, inputting my cycle as it starts has been unsuccessful until today. I finally managed to put in my start date (today) and it changed the expected start day to today, even though it reflected that it was expected days ago beforehand. My period was late, so what’s the point of having an expected start day when it will just change to the date of your actual cycle. Lastly, even though there is no free version of the app, I bought it with the awareness that I’d be supporting a company rooted in divine feminine wisdom. My goals is not to minimize this. I cannot, in good faith, let time pass without letting others know of my experience. My review is long overdue.
