New update :(
LikeSami
I used to LOVE the app! it was so user friendly! now with the new update it’s so confusing and doesn’t let you log if you actually took your birth control, just if you missed it. I don’t want to use any other app but I don’t know how to use this one anymore :(
Seriously?

I used this app to help track taking my pills because I’m really forgetful. While I still get the nightly reminders I have no idea how to say if I’ve taken my pill or not. Now I’m confused on whether I’ve taken my pills since the update because I can’t remember! So frustrating! Go back to the old way where the question popped up right away and you could just click once. None of this confusing calendar bulls***.
Unusable after update

hate the update
Meowkat?
I loved this app before the update, it was super easy to use and was a way I could mark off having taken my birth control with ease. Now, i don’t even see an option to say i’ve taken my birth control today. Is there one?? If so, please tell me where. If not, add one!!
New update

I’ve been using this app for a few weeks now ever since I went on the pill and it’s been great. I like the layout and how you used to be able to click that you’d taken your pill each day. Now you can’t, and it’s saying I’ve missed my pills when I really just didn’t know how to log it. Has this just moved and I need to find it? Please help.
Loading Screen

The loading takes a while (about 5-10 minutes) to come on, then pops up with a trouble migrating screen. I tapped the “create new account” and it still wouldn’t open.
Why the update?

The app was fine as it was for my purposes, but now adding daily information is much clunkier. There's all this visual dead space, none of my custom emojis are in the right categories, I can't see an entire category (or the whole list of categories) at once... now what was a very simple process is frustrating for no apparent reason. Frankly, as someone with ADHD, you've made that part of your app inaccessible to neurodivergent users. It doesn't help that the app is now far, far laggier across the board. By default it displayed my predicted fertile window with no way to turn it off, which was upsetting, but when I tried to reset my period data it shifted all my past data into "past birth control"—confusing wording, given I wasn't tracking a method then either (the app has never supported the method I use, so I don't track it from the settings). It then shuffled the dates of my most recent period around at random—recording a 9-day period as 13, then recording 2 of the days I removed in settings as a 2-day period. Besides a few emoji adds (wish I could replace my custom emoji from years past with the new standard ones in one go, since they're functionally identical) and renaming "frisky", I'm failing to see how any of this is an improvement over what was already there. Why break what wasn't broken?
Horrible update
no update!
I’ve loved using this app to track changes in my period. It’s on a fairly regular cycle but within a period can vary on how heavy the flow is. The best feature before the update was how you could swipe through the calendar and see how heavy the specific days were so I could track that and now it doesn’t even differentiate when you click on a specific day (which I don’t understand having to do anyways). Go back to the way it was or if you can don’t update!
HATE THE UPDATE

I’ve been using this app for a few years and absolutely loved it! It was so easy to use and I loved the layout with the bubbles! But the new updated version is TERRIBLE compared to the original. Unless some major changes are made I won’t be able to use this app anymore :(
The Update Removed the Option for No BC

I don’t use birth control since my tube removal and now I’m faced with having to lie about being on some type of birth control since there doesn’t seem to be a skip option. Also, the update affected my stats. I’m sure it’s a great app NOW if I were to join with a more popular birth control method now with the account feature and amazing look. However, I fell through the cracks with this one. Simply doing a review so the developers see this and maybe change it in the near future.
