This app is all around pretty amazing. The in-app integration of being able to talk to a health care educator is so convenient. I love absolutely everything about this app except for the fact that there’s no option to put you accidentally doubled up on your pill one day. Normally if you forget to take a pill, you put it into the app, and they tell you what to do, but if you accidentally double up, the app can’t help you, and you can’t log it, so you must reach out to one of their educators. If the app was to include this feature, I’d give it a 5 stars.Now that we’ve got the negatives out of the way, let’s go over what’s great about this app. 1) The app allows you to require FaceID to open it, so someone being nosy can’t open your app with sensitive information. 2) They allow you to insert your individual birth control method, so the app is tailor fit to you. ( I’d suggest adding the option to add multiple methods being used at once, but the app still works great without it. ) 3) If you chose to use more than one app to track your periods and birth control, you can export the data out of the app easily. 4) They have a very compact and helpful FAQ integrated into the app. 5) The app is FREE, and there’s no free trial / pay to use features.

I prefer this app over any of the other period tracker apps that I’ve tried for a variety of reasons — the availability of Planned Parenthood’s resources and the fact that it uses gender-neutral language throughout being central among them. But there are a few features that the app is sorely missing, and I agree with the other reviews that the old look was nicer and much easier to use. I missed tracking a month right after the update happened because a bug made it impossible to log any information; the bug has been fixed, but for months afterward the app failed to accurately predict my period and there was no way to fix the problem except for manually adding in the missed period using guesswork; I opted to delete and reinstall the app without migrating my old data over instead to start from scratch. I also wish that there was an option to change the time that the app rolls over from one day to the next. I work evenings and am naturally a night owl, so I usually don’t settle in to record the day’s information until after midnight, when the date has already changed. It’s a mild inconvenience, but it can confuse the app into thinking that my period has already ended and makes using the app just a little bit more frustrating. I’ve used other apps that have the option to adjust the time that the date rolls over to fit your schedule and would like it if that was implemented here.

UPDATE: I’m so happy my data came back! I was also able to successfully make an account. I definitely still favor the old layout more but the most important things are fixed. I find this app incredibly useful when it’s working properly so I’m happy I can continue using it. They also responded to my emails and showed great customer service. I’d used this app for probably the past 2-3 years or so almost daily until the update earlier this month where it deleted all of my saved data. I can’t remember when I got my IUD anymore and years of information I tracked is gone. I’ve sent two emails requesting help with no response back. I liked the old layouts simplicity and ease of it and the cute messages/facts it would show after you submitted daily. It was aesthetically pleasing and easy to use and this new one is the opposite. I tried to give this new update a shot and start from scratch, and it wouldn’t let me make an account/kept giving me error messages. So I’ve tried to ‘continue without account’ and there’s no way to actually input the information. It’s just odd, completely ruined a great app. Such a shame, I hope they fix it soon or better yet just restore it to the old one

Longtime user since the very first days of the app. Loved it previously, faithfully updated data and tracking, but now this new update is HORRENDOUS. First, you warned us late last year about the impending update—and then don’t update until three months later? Why? And now I can’t customize anything. I can’t edit anything. I can’t correct the date of my birth control method (why would it ask me and not allow me to select the date? It used to do this!), so now it’s off. I can’t customize the displays on my calendar, so all I see are emojis with no legend whatsoever (what do they mean??). There’s a list of changes but no tutorial, and it’s not very helpful. If I try to edit birth control and period info in Settings it gives me a very dramatic “once you do this you cannot I do, are you sure?” message, so I’m afraid to click yes and of making things worse. So, so, very frustrated with this right now. It makes me want to delete it and forgo using it completely. Planned Parenthood, I love you, but you completely ruined an app that wasn’t in need of changes. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. You’ve broken your app and it’s incredibly frustrating to try and use now. Please go back to the way it was. Please give us customizable displays and landing pages. Please let us edit data entries. Please don’t make this overly complicated. I don’t need videos or a chat feature. It’s a period tracker, not social media. Please fix this.
