PregAid 4+

I would love a notes section on the calendar so a separate journal is not required. A couple of days before I was ovulating this month my temperature spiked (slightly higher than my ovulation day). That day I woke up with a sore throat. I felt like I had been fighting an oncoming cold for a few days. While there is an option to record some sickness, the common cold and other ailments outside of menstrual symptoms are not listed.

This is my first couple of weeks of using this product. I feel that my temperature has been slightly higher than my normal body temp. I would like to record any anomalies on the same calendar in which I am recording my BBT daily.

I am using the FAM method of birth control. This thermometer and app are tools to not only prevent getting pregnant, but to become more in touch with my overall health. I would love to see app improvements that allow the user to make journal entries. I would like to be able to record my mental and physical feelings each day. This would allow me to have data to show my doctor should any health issues arise.

The thermometer is great but the app itself need major improvement. I'm now using two apps because this app does everything based on averages and not what is being recorded. Due to nursing my cycles are all over the place and the app will decide the day I am ovulating based on my average cycle days instead of waiting for my input. It also won't let you change or delete a temp that was recorded. My husband tested the thermometer the day it arrived and now I cannot delete his temp from my chart. I think if the creators of the app gave the user more flexibility then it would be a great app! Until then, I will continue to use two apps.

I am enjoying the thermometer, it’s pretty quick and easy (must be completely still or it takes forever). I have a few issues with the app. None are bad enough that I won’t use the program, but would love to see improvements.

Some things just don’t work. The app didn’t save my correct birthday. I have changed and “saved” many times and it continues to revert back to an incorrect day. The feedback “send” button does nothing, so I can’t send in feedback. Also I can’t change my profile picture, though it makes it seem like you can. These aren’t make or break for me as my main use is the thermometer and I have another app for more detailed charting.

Some suggestions that would make the app even better
1) automatically record time temp was taken
2) as another reviewer suggested, change name of app - I’m using bbt for contraception not pregnancy
3) ability to delete temps (currently you can replace, but not delete)
4) not need to open app to take temp, rather have the ability to sync later. I love that you can make this thermometer silent (or beep or vibrate) through the app but the movement and light of opening and operating the app wakes my husband and wakes me enough that it’s hard to fall back to sleep

For the sole purpose of temping I am liking it. Improvements could make it great.
