I love this app. It's a great tool to help you when trying to prevent pregnancy. They also have trying to conceive, pregnancy, and postpartum modes but I haven't had the chance to try those yet. Sometimes the app is a bit overly cautious with the red days but that's how they ensure they keep their high percentage of effectiveness. I've been tracking my cycle and ovulation for a while so I use it more to supplement what I already know and it does a great job. I love that it links to my Oura too.

Such a great app! I used to prevent, plan, through my pregnancy, and postpartum. I can not find one thing to complain about. If I didn't track my temp, it wasn't the apps fault I had red days- the more consistent I was with measuring, the more accurate the app became. I bought the Oura ring as soon as it became compatible and I've had nothing but success. I'm sure the other wearable devices have the same success rates. If you're on the fence I recommend giving it a chance.

I love the flexibility of the trackers, the ability to add severity to different ones is fantastic. I use it in conjunction with the Oura ring which makes tracking bbl easy. It would be great to have more readable summaries/charts, they're very difficult to read at a glance, so I often ignore them, but would like to be able to see my patterns presented in a way that makes more sense.
