Glow: Fertility, Ovulation App 12+

I have been using this app for years now. I keep track of my period because it’s so irregular. It’s great to record your period cycles and your moods and current symptoms but not to calculate when your ovulating and it’s not accurate in calculating your next period either. You can’t base yourself 100% on an app. There has been times it does predict my next periods and other times it’s way off, because not every woman is the same of course. Be really careful in not trusting when it predicts your days of ovulation, it tells you that it’s high risk in getting pregnant and to be careful if your going to have sex if your avoiding pregnancy. I have tested these predictions and it’s completely off. I have taken ovulation tests just to see if it’s accurate and it’s not. I have taken my ovulation tests and it says I’m ovulating on days the app it says that I’m not and it’s low risk to get pregnant and it says I’m ovulating when clearly the test I’m not. Definitely not 100% and you should never trust an app to to tell you what your body is doing or not. If avoiding pregnancy don’t use this app for that. Use other methods. It’s great for other things just not for other important stuff.

When I decided to move from Eve (for period tracking) to Glow (for TTC) I thought “yay! They’re by the same developer and they already have all the detailed tracking I’ve been putting in for over a year. This should be super accurate!”. Guess again. They don’t attach ANY of your period data or symptoms to your account, so you have to manually enter it. I’m even on their annual subscription to get access to better “predictions”. You know what would help predict stuff? All that data I spent over a year adding into the app you have under the SAME subscription umbrella that I paid for.
You know what DOES transfer form app to app and shows *in my public profile*? The comments I leave on their “articles”. Cool. Glad we got those priorities straight guys.
I even emailed support because I was certain it must be a glitch. This is the whole reason these apps exist. Why would they not attach my date to my profile? Or at least give me the option to transfer it from app to app within my phone? Nope. They know, they don’t care. They told me to add my last few cycles in manually to get started.
Don’t waste your money.
They also have a horrific track record for privacy and safety which I found out while googling to find a work-around. Go ahead. Google them and enjoy the horror of the fact that they let any person with your email address pair themselves to your account. Lovely. What a stalker’s paradise.

This app is pretty good. Not only can you track your periods, track ovulation, track your pregnancy, and keep track of your babies growth and development, but you also have a community of people where you can find a group for anything. There are groups for baby names, breastfeeding, labor, trying to conceive, relationships, etc. This app would be perfect, if I weren’t for some of the women on there. They really aren't the nicest people and they try so hard to enforce the rules that they sound very rude towards any new person that makes a simple mistake. It isn’t even their job to attack people like they do. Just report it to the admin or politely let the person know and move on. You don’t need 5 women repeating the same thing on one post. Another thing I don’t like is when you make an anonymous posts, why cant you comment on your post and still remain anonymous?? That just doesn’t make sense to me. All in all, it’s a good app. I’m on it constantly. EDIT: THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. There are underage teenage girls on here trying to get pregnant. People are encouraging them and giving them advice. The admins are aware and so far have done nothing about it. They have not deleted the groups of underage teens planning pregnancy. That’s ridiculous.
