Flo Cycle & Period Tracker App Reviews

Definitely the best period app.. After I got my first period I used the same app for years to track it. It never predicted my period right. For the longest time I just figured I was super irregular as many girls are when they start there period, but eventually I realized It said I was consistently late by approximately the same number of days every cycle. I just dealt with it for awhile. When I finally decided to check for a better period tracking app I found Flo. This app is SO MUCH BETTER!! It usually predicts my period pretty accurately, sometimes spot on. When my cycle shifts it always makes adjustments and often becomes more accurate. I also love that it doesn’t mark your period late until A certain number of days after your cycle was supposed to start (I think 5, which is the “official” number of days that make a period considered late. It doesn’t just mark it late when your period doesn’t start the day it was predicted to. I was especially impressed when I missed a period after my wisdom tooth surgery and when I logged my next period the predictions continued to be accurate immediately after. It seems like the developers did a great job on the actual software as well as put lots of thought, research, and expertise into it. It’s a great app!!

Great for period tracking only. I downloaded this app to track my periods, was great for that and plenty of little helpful insights/articles on the feed.. I used it to help conceive as well. Once I actually became pregnant and switched to “pregnancy mode” the little helpful insights diminished to almost none, maybe one every few weeks.. what would frustrate me also would be when I would click on the “For You” and it would show an insight article but then disappear before I got the chance to click on it. (Happened about a 100 of times on different occasions.) also the app doesn’t really have any symptoms tracker differentiations for the pregnancy mode... which seems kind of bizarre. Another thing is that in pregnancy mode it doesn’t say anything about the development of the baby at however many weeks you are. Not even a brief little description of what’s going on in your body at this time or a brief description of the development changes your baby is experiencing.. nothing at all.. I’m a first time mom so I use (5) different pregnancy apps to kind of bring all the information together, given that not all say the same thing or some say things others don’t and/or are more informative. I find myself using this app less and less as it isn’t very helpful in the pregnancy mode. I am currently 27 weeks so I’ve used it from the very beginning and nothing is getting better about it.. hopefully this review is helpful

Messed up. Money hungry. Every time you tap on the app it will pop up with an screen forcing you to either choose a plan that requires money, or they have a small and faint "x" in the corner. Now this is often used by a ton of companies as it is a marketing strategy. Older people may not see the "x" and might click on something else which would lead them to a purchase if they are not careful. Additionally, the big screen provides several options for plans all of which you need to pay for. This is the "illusion of choice" and pressures the user to want to read about these plans. Unfortunately, you would hope that human beings who say they want to help women with their health would actually want to do so but alas this is not that app. Making a profit is indeed a choice and not a necessity but in this day and age people choose to not believe that. In addition, it is not trans-masc friendly. At all. Oh well. Just be weary and if you do download, be mindful of the tactics they will use (as every app will eventually use) to make a profit. There is no reason for them to ask for this much money this many times in order to keep running their app. That is a lie and that is a common excuse companies will make. Don't fall for it. Proceed with caution and if you do make the choice to use this app just only use it for tracking and nothing else because that is basically all you are able to do without being pressured.

Not Alone. Before, I would always keep the details of my sex life, menstrual cycle, and other feminine problems to myself. After Flo, I feel so much more secure and content with all of the aforementioned issues. The app is well-designed and visually pleasing, as well as easy to use and practical in those uses. Not only can you track your period with Flo, you can also access a community page to share stories, take surveys, and read articles. The period tracker itself is very accurate for me and is usually always on point. The period tracker also gives you the details on your ovulation cycle and such, which gives me a sense of security and preparedness. While I don’t use this feature of the app, there is also a pregnancy mode which can track your pregnancy’s phases and tell you about said phases. I’ve come to love the app and it quite honestly bests all of the other period tracker apps I’ve tried. Flo is great for any woman who loves planning and organization, or any girl looking for advice on her first experiences. The community is accepting and welcoming, and all shared stories are anonymous for those who want to vent. Overall, a wholesome app with a feel-good vibe. Definitely a keeper for me.

Good For Keeping Track of Period Dates Only. I’ve been using the Flo app since 2017 to track my period and of all the apps of its kind it’s always been mainly reliable and accurate. I also enjoy the option of tracking and recording my period symptoms. Years ago Flo was very educational and would offer quick articles or chats related to the symptoms you’d log so that if you wanted to know more about how to combat those symptoms or what causes them you could find out. Now it seems as if the only way to do anything beyond tracking the dates of your period and logging symptoms you have to subscribe to the premium membership. This would be fine if the app didn’t have articles (“You logged bloating, this simple tip may help”) that told you after the first slide “Unlock Premium to continue reading.” Like others have mentioned even the “chat” with the AI misleads you into thinking you will get information by having you answer questions for two minutes before telling you to unlock premium for this “benefit.” Aside from needing premium to do basically anything on the app I wish there was an option to check off that you skipped a period or two by skipping your placebo week of birth control pills. For a few months I used my birth control to skip my period all together but there was mo way to notate that on the app so Flo to this day thinks I had an irregular cycle where I was “late” for 94 days 🤦🏻‍♀️

Too much. I started using Flo years ago because of its design and simplicity. I just wanted to track my cycle for dates because I hate trying to remember when to buy supples and for tracking symptoms against some other health issues I have to see if there was any correlation. It was great. I could tap it in and done. Now, in addition to the premium subscription there are so many options on the screen, articles constantly popping up, the help center chat, promotions, it’s just annoying. I see the value for many users for this content, but it’s like walking through a gauntlet of ads to get to where you need to go. Busy, distracting. I miss the simple, clean interface, and the symptoms logging page with the picture icons that was fast and easy to use. I’ve started looking for another option, but then my data will be lost. So I’m not sure what I’m going to do yet. Also, I have been reading through the reviews and it looks like the price point is affecting the ability for many young people who have their periods under 18 to access valuable information that they may not otherwise have. Perhaps there’s an age gate where some basic health content is free to users under 18 that might currently fall under the premium plan. Something to consider. Same for some of the chat stuff.

Good, but having issues (now MORE issues?). UPDATED CORRECTION: My ovulation week (which happened weeks ago) jumped up an entire week too for. So now my period and ovulation dates are changing for seemingly no reason. This has never happened before. I understand the developer’s response, but I’m still not sure if you’re understanding the issue or if I’m failing to see something. Like I said, I’ve never had issues with this EVER, so why is every single thing changing. My period date. Changed over 6 times in the last few days, and so did my ovulation too. This makes no sense. I never had issues with this before, but this month, the day on when my period is going to start keeps changing. Every day it gets bumped up to the next day. First it said the 18, then 19, and now it’s up to the 21st. I don’t know if there’s an error occurring in the calendar or what, but it’s really annoying and confusing. I can’t tell what day is the correct day for my period to start, and now I’m worried everything else is wrong or the dates are offset (like for ovulation, as an example). Note: this has nothing to do with periods being late, as this is many days prior to when my period should even start.

It’s nice but.... So I used this app for my period And it was great up until my period change and I came on a week early which was perfect for my weekend away because we were planning to get pregnant and my ovulation date was set for a specific day. Well I was on my period a day or two longer so I figured it would probably change my ovulation date. Well my trip was set to be at least about 2 to 3 weeks away and I kept checking the app to make sure and to see if my ovulation date was going to change well it didn’t change it stay the same and make sure that I refresh my app just in case and it stayed the same. Now the day I get to my destinations for my trip is my ovulation day that was on the app that’s what we were depending on. Three days later I go on the app to mark the fact that we made love and the ovulation date changed to the day before I arrived on my trip. Immediately I was upset because it seems as though we may have missed the ovulation day due to the fact that the app didn’t update until after my ovulation date that was set originally. So I deleted the app because of that. It’s very upsetting when you’re trying to get pregnant and your ovulation date just seems to change along with your fertile days changes I just think that that is something that they need to look into I no longer want to use this app.

Extra features only available with premium. I originally downloaded this app to track my period and my symptoms. I do still like it for that, but I also really loved when more features were added such as giving helpful bits of info about the whole cycle. This info wasn’t always that helpful for me because most of it I knew already, but I do think it’s helpful for younger people. I didn’t learn much about the menstruation cycle in school, and I just can’t imagine much has changed. It was also helpful that they gave you tips seemingly based on the symptoms you plugged in. However today I went to log my symptoms and noticed they added in stories on why we get cramps, etc., but they are all only available to premium users. And when I went to the screen that used to have helpful articles, mostly all of the information is locked for premium users. This is all information that should be provided for free. Now kids are still going to have to wade through inaccurate information on the internet because apps like this are charging for the most basic information. I understand that you need money to survive, but information menstruation shouldn’t only be available to people with money. Also you would think they could get a moderator for the chat rooms or a professional to help answer questions, but no. So the chat rooms and answers are inaccurate and overrun with teens who don’t know anything because apparently female anatomy is only available to people with money. It’s such a shame.

love it!. this app is super useful for tracking periods, and has given me mostly accurate predictions so far! it’s been off by a day or two a couple times when i first started using it because it wasn’t adjusted to my cycle yet, but since then i haven’t had any issues. i love the insights where it gives info about my period and the different changes that come along with a period, and i especially love that you can comment anonymously on posts and get help from and give help to the community. by far, my favorite thing about the Flo app is that you can have it give you reminders to drink water, take meds, and weigh yourself if that is something that you’re concerned about! the reminders are super helpful for me as my meds are for adhd, so i need a reminder so i actually remember to take them lol! the only thing that i would adjust is that my water bottle has metric markings, but i live in america, so i have to convert the metric to ounces to track my water because the only way to use metric for water is to switch the entire app over to metric. this isn’t a huge deal because google is a pretty good converter but it’s just something that i’ve noticed. overall, this is a great app and i’ve recommended it to friends and family, and now i’m recommending it to you!

Here is my honest review. I really like this app when it comes to keeping track of my period. I do have irregular periods because of my PCOS. I like that it has Q&A's and also other ladies talking about their daily struggles; it makes me feel like I'm not alone. I understand that PCOS isn't something that you can simply predict for your periods or even tell if you are ovulating or not. My problem is that you can check off that you have taken a pregnancy test and it came back negative, but I don't understand why this app keeps sending messages that it looks like it's time for a pregnancy test, even after I have checked off negative for an entire week. I know I can easily turn off my notifications, but I can't turn it off in the app, unless you can and I just don't know how to! Also, I really wish there was an option where you can click that you do have PCOS, and the app would understand that irregular periods may happen, but it doesn't even give me that option when we have our "conversations with the app." Like I said, I know that it's not everyone's problem and this app works superbly well with ladies that don't have this problem, but this is my honest review.

Woman’s health needs to be improved. It’s already a struggle to get women’s reproductive health information nowadays especially with all the protesting at the planet, parenthood or mothers, who just don’t want to take you, but on top of this, you have to pay for information like this. If you need help there should at least be some free stuff in here but I’ve been using this for about a month and there really wasn’t much it tracks. My period really pretty OK, so I’m not complaining about that i’m complaining about how I can’t really get help because I don’t have money and I get it. This is sort of an app for older woman or women who have money in their 20s but teenagers also need help too and I want to learn about why I’m spotting and why I’m feeling this way and why am I hormones acting this way but I can’t because I need money, I just feel like even with the doctors that they are paying to help women is of course wonderful, but what about people who don’t have money we also need help especially teenagers since they’re barely starting to figure this stuff out and some of us may not have parents to tell us stuff like this, and I speak from the stand of someone who doesn’t have a parent who can tell me about this I just feel like there needs to be more help for women who can’t afford it that are older and for teenagers who just want to learn about this without having to be constantly bombarded by this $40 year plan.

Love this app.. So I paid $2 for another app cuz it said it could tell me what phase of my cycle I was in and also send updates to my husband when I was in a new phase and give him heads up for ideas to support me, which is so awesome in theory, but the app is pretty dry, I don’t like the layout, and the insights about the phases weren’t as helpful as I would have liked. AND I could only track certain symptoms at certain times of the month, which is just plain stupid. So I came back to this free app because I like the design and the tracking features because I have random symptoms all month that I will never remember and need to reference at appts. That said, the ideas behind that other app are great. I would love to have insights about each of the phases and the opportunity to sign my husband up for emails that help him understand my cycle as it happens, too. I would even pay for that. (Not a lot, lol don’t gouge me.) I never understood much about my period and lady bits until I was older, so this has been very helpful overall. And it is usually pretty accurate at estimating dates (within a few days), even though my period can be really wonky and frequently comes early.

Not what it used to be. I used to use this app for years to simply track my cycle. I don’t use this app for fertility predictions or anything other than simply tracking my cycle and obtaining cycle predictions. It used to be a great, simple tool but now that they have a premium paid tier, it seems as if the only thing they care about is gaining subscribers unfortunately. Every time I open the app just to simply log a date or check my cycle, I’m greeted with a full page ad for their premium tier. Sometimes TWO full page premium ads back to back! Why do I have to see this full page ad EVERY time I open the app? If I have declined it in the past you should stop showing me the ad. I’m not interested. Im really disappointed that the developers have gone down the path of profits as their only goal. I think the app provides some good educational resources for very young people, but again everything besides cycle and symptom tracking is locked behind a paywall that many young school age children wouldn’t have access to. And in reality there’s no information this app provides that can’t be found through a simple google search. I have since switched to the cycle tracker in the Health app for iOS. There’s no premium tier, no ads and it is just as accurate and has the same basic functionality as Flo.

Based on my satisfaction I gave 1 star .. I’ve used this app since i was in highschool , around when it was first developed .. I was actually soo excited ! Bc there was an app specifically for me , that informed me of the different things my body was going through during puberty nd , EVERYTHING was free .. I used this app to track my first pregnancy , everything was free ! Fast forward to my third pregnancy … everything is available for premium users only . I can’t even look at the second trimester warning signs , can’t view any information about baby , and I can’t view any information about the changes my body is going through without upgrading ..! As a woman I’m upset that we are continually seen as a marketing experience … Like , this should be free ! We already have to buy menstrual material and some of us have to buy more than most . Along with the cost of children , some of us are single parents… and even when there’s a 2 parent household , people are still barely getting by … I think this is honestly outrageous . Like , when does it end ? 😂 I’ll be deleting the app , and hopefully I find a better alternative , but probs not bc this is like the Midas of the tracking apps … smh … it was a vibe while it lasted flo ! But , I’m gonna have to let you go … the app is literally serving 0 purpose in my life other than telling me my baby has now reached the size of a mango ! Lols .

Good app, but needs some additions. I used to use this app before I had my baby, and eventually switched over to a free one. I used this app during my pregnancy. I think the pregnancy version could use some more variety in symptoms, but was otherwise good. My main complaint is when I had my baby, the app had no information or changes for the postpartum period. It didn’t take into consideration that I’m breastfeeding or anything. I’d like to see an app that not only considers how your cycle changes during breastfeeding, but also pushes out more articles and short reads that can help a new or experienced mom with a young baby. My last complaint is the normal cycle tracking is also lacking in symptoms etc. Why can’t I put in that I’m having a heavy cycle AND clots? Why can’t I put in that my skin is more oily, but I’m not having acne? There is a notes portion, but I think these things deserve their own button too. And in the exercise portion, your options are very limited. I personally train Brazilian jiu jitsu and none of the exercise categories fit into that kind of thing. It’s otherwise a good app, and helps a lot with informing you about your reproductive health and whatnot. They also gave me an awesome deal for a year long membership, so I’m not complaining. Just a couple things that I think could really make this app stand out from the rest- mostly just adding more symptoms.

Currently On a Free Trial. I’ve had Flo in the past and loved it. I didn’t have a phone for a year so I just recently got the app again and noticed a lot of changes, including that some features are only available through a payment. The payment is only around 14$ for the entire year. I don’t think that’s so bad but if it’s out of budget I understand. The features on the free trial are pretty awesome so far, it’s like having access to a gynecologist because the information you give about your period has so much feedback. It’s really surprising what the app tracks and the amount of feedback you get about symptoms, tips / tools, workout ideas, food recommendations, yoga, meditation, and self- assurance. I wanted to take the time to write a review because I was really hesitant to redownload the app with the reviews talking about payments but I’m glad I did and it appreciating the free trial so far. If you’re unsure try the 1 month free trial and see how you like it. Bonus for the awesome private community conversations that are available to everyone, so that you’re able to anonymously speak with other women/ girls on the app and freely ask questions or help respond to others. It’s just really awesome. I appreciate the app

Close to great, but missing the mark for me. I was very excited about downloading Flo to take more ownership over my cycle & gain resources / insights regarding my intimate health. However as soon as I tapped over into the “secret chat” feature, I found an overwhelming presence of ideological (predominantly Christian) conversations. I know that spirituality and sex lives can be tightly connected, however as someone who doesn’t identify with organized religion, it felt like I’d just arrived to the wrong brunch party. This also immediately made me skeptical of the information being shared within the app. I’m a VERY strong believer in comprehensive sex education, which is commonly seen as being at odds with Christianity in this country—is this app actually balancing science and religion? After looking at their extensive board of medical professionals, I’d like to believe so but I’m still highly skeptical. This is where I also learned that the app was founded by two men (tech entrepreneurs), who (let’s face itttt) probably only care about women’s health in so far as $$$. All in all I wish I hadn’t paid for this app and had opted for a free alternative, as I don’t think the secret chat feature will be useful to me and I have skepticism issues regarding their approach to science / commitment to women’s well-being. The UI is beautiful, I’ll give it that.

Love this period tracking app - could be improved though. I’ve been using this app since Aug/Sept of 2023. I like it for the most part but I think there are some opportunities for improvement. First, I am using this app for period tracking only, I am not trying to conceive. I informed the app of this when I signed up and I assumed it would then tailor my content based on this information, but quickly realized it doesn’t and is heavily focused on users that are actively trying to conceive. I indicated that I have PCOS (which is why I need to track my period) and again, assumed it would customize my content based on this information. After completing my assessment, it indicated that I might have PCOS… I know. I told you that when I signed up? I do not recommend this app for the infertility community as I can see it triggering a lot of folks that can’t conceive naturally. Although the pregnancy notifications don’t necessarily trigger me, they annoy me because I am simply using and paying for the app to track my period. I wish the list of symptom trackers were more expansive (re: how are you feeling?). The assistant and educational content has been SO helpful. Lots of great things about this app but I wish it was more customizable to me, my goals and that I could turn off the constant pregnancy tracking content and indicators. Great start, but plenty of opportunities for improvement.

Strange Membership. Just delete it, guys. As one of the other reviews shared, Flo is great and accurate in predicting periods. It allows you to log many variables that could affect your period and offers a small online chat where you can discuss womanly functions and struggles. Those features are cool. However, the strange part comes when you try to read up or chat about your symptoms through Flo's personalized "Insights" tab only to get a pop-up asking you to get Premium. I understand the importance of memberships in lifestyle apps like this, but the frusturation really starts to build when you realize the features that looked free and accessible at first end up being buried behind a paywall. As another review mentioned, it comes out really wrong when an app gatekeeps important things about women's bodies behind expensive subscriptions, even though it claims to want to help educate about us. On top of that, some of the subjects would just take some digging on Healthline and aren't even that exclusive. I like the bare features so far, but the hidden popups that only appear once you get your hopes up are annoying. I got this app because of concerns about endometriosis and to get more comfortable with my private part. Didn't help much.

Developers- please read. The concept of the app is great actually! But what makes me upset and I feel a lot of other women is how you have to pay for simple tips to help you. If you are a teen or younger girl who is new to menstrual cycles, and you download this app to actually help you, you have to pay a pretty decent amount after adding all the money you’ve given to this app. Not to mention some people don’t have that extra money. You literally have to pay to learn on tampons, menstrual cups, and other basic things a young woman should know about herself. Also, if you started your period younger than most like me, you’re not going to want to tell your mom, or guardian “hey can you please pay for this app to help me track my cycle and teach me?” Its humiliating to MOST kids. Especially when a lot of parents don’t have “ the period talk” as they find it “inappropriate/ disgusting “ or it’s to akward to talk about. I understand “you have to make money” but maybe adds at least? Yes, there are many people that teach about this on social media platforms, but some kids aren’t allowed to have access to those types of apps. Overall, great concept of an app, but if you see this, please try to reconsider the fees and other requirements to have the app and actually be able to learn and get help. Thank you- a 12 yr old girl who started at 9/10.

Latest Update HORRIBLE. I have been a lover of the Flo app for years now (nearly a decade!) and I’m really VERY disappointed in the latest app update. Flo used to be a straightforward, simple way to track my health. Now it’s GO TO PREMIUM, ads, banners, DID YOU SIGN UP FOR PREMIUM??? bizarre articles, chats I guess??, 87% off premium!!, every time I open it, multiple times. It’s frustrating to suddenly be unable to see basic information due to all the clutter. I’m now asking myself how I could possibly migrate this much data into a more straightforward, simplified, calmer app. BECAUSE SERIOUSLY, on my period, I don’t want to be harassed. I don’t want to be confused. I don’t want to be sold. Even the idea of an ongoing subscription instead of a single-time purchase feels like a low-key way to continually ratchet the price & pull more money from me. Apparently I have to pay an even bigger price for my female health. When states are working to ban things like the pink tax, this feels like bad form. I’d even be willing to pay a single purchase price *IF* Flo promised that classic, simplified interface… even if I hate the idea on principal. I understand the need to support the developers. But here’s an idea—maybe your app didn’t need all of the bells & whistles you thought were necessary. MAYBE simple, aesthetic information was your sweet spot. I suspect the new business model isn’t geared for that. Total shame.

Only some features are useful, predictions poor quality. Flo is a decent way for me to track basal temperature and symptoms throughout my cycle, but I’ve found its cycle predictions to be inaccurate. I appreciate that it collects and graphs patterns of my body in a way I can see over time. However, the app consistently thinks my fertile days are at the end of my cycle, and predicts my period many days before it should start. I’ve logged 5 months of data, including period start dates and ovulation time, but this has not yet affected the predictions. Luckily I’m 33 and have had a consistent 27-29 day cycle for years (and three pregnancies), so I know these predictions are inaccurate and can make my own calculations. It is frustrating though to have to look at the calendar Flo provides and know that it’s all wrong, and have to do the math in my head every time. Isn’t that what the app is supposed to do, at the most basic level? It is also frustrating to be fed articles about why my period is “late,” when it isn’t late at all. It’s unnerving, even though I know better. The somewhat condescending tone of the articles in the app, along with the poor timing of their appearance, is the most bothersome part of the user interface. It would be helpful if there was a way to override the algorithm to make your own cycle calendar if needed.

I used to love this app way more. I got this app when I was a freshman in high school as they do not teach much about female cycles or anatomy. When I first got it, I found tons of useful information on the app and it was all free and amazing. I learned the different parts of the cycle and it helped me manage my symptoms better as well as understanding what’s going on with my body. While I understand that programs like these need funding in order to run, I find there is no need to bait people into paying for a subscription. Like the chat feature. It pops up prompting you to interact for a bit and making you think it’s going to tell you some useful information but then it tries to make you pay before you can access it. There shouldn’t be as much push for people to pay. It’s irritating especially for people who can’t afford more payments like myself. I would much rather there be a pop up when you open the app asking if you want to pay for premium rather than being tricked into thinking I’m going to be getting something useful for free. Also I am a strong believer that all the info on this app should be taught to girls in school or be free public access but google is not a reliable source and this app has loads to offer but for a price. It’s already bad enough that women don’t get taught anything about their own bodies and it’s a “luxury” to access this information.

Taking away free features??. I’ve used Flo for years. I’ve had no problem with it all this time, the past year or so of intrusive pop ups begging to subscribe to the subscription service offered was annoying and progressively getting worse as time went on but I was putting up with it because other apps have pushed subscriptions as well and paywalled important things while being less accurate than flo. But now out of the blue Flo has decided to take away basic features that we have been using for free for YEARS and insist we subscribe to use them again. Needing to make money is one thing but paywalling a good portion of your poor user base out of most of your app out of the blue is disgusting behavior. I’m sure there are plenty of children getting their period for the first time or are still trying to learn about it that previously benefited from your app that now aren’t or aren’t as much not to mention not even having an option to pay for the features they need unless they ask their parents. Shame on you for this. Not sure why you can’t just implement an ad system like literally everyone else. As long as it isn’t as intrusive as your SUBSCRIBE TO OUR SERVICE pop ups were every time we opened the app I'm sure no one would complain. All of the features you PREVIOUSLY charged for before having ads before or after using them would have probably been fine. An immovable pay wall however is scummy especially for an app used for reproductive health and safety. Shame on you.

Amazing but needs a touch.. Don't get me wrong, Flo is amazing and you'll never use another app after you download this but it could use a few touches. The one idea I have isn't really important but if you want to have more fun with the app you should also have the choice of using your own photo for a background picture. Doing this would make it a little more fun along with being able to choose the color of the circles or bubbles. Also, it would be cool if people could make their own articles for everyone to read but make a separate column you can click on, incase viewers don't want to read other people's. And lastly, the articles usually talk about tampons. Not everyone wears them including me. It would be great if you could tell everyone how they work and if it hurts. I personally am really sensitive about "down there" and it would be great to know what it's like. Or even talk more about pads. Right now I read things I can on the internet and see how to insert them and everything. But I rly think sticking something up there is really nasty. Again just my opinion. But overall this game is really good. If it was just a little more fun and fit for everyone I would be giving it 5 stars. But hopefully something I said can come true. To Whom Ever It Regards, - Unknown☺️

New update ruined it... There should really be a way to turn off virtual assist and my daily insights. Some of us came to this app because it was clean and simple, all these new updates and features are ruining that. It’s getting more and more intrusive and cluttered with every update. I don’t need or want all this crap on my screen. If I could toggle it off it’d be great but they give you no options, just shove all this stuff in your face. Why can’t anything be simple? Why do we need advanced AI and health stories on the front page? We don’t! Just a simple app that tracks and predicts our cycles and does it well. Please get rid off all this extra junk or at least give those of us who don’t want it a way to toggle it off. I hate this app now and will be finding a new one. To the developers- please don’t ask me to contact you for a solution. It seems to be your canned answer to every negative review and I will not be contacting you. If there is a solution to this issue or you have future plans to fix this issue, please just let me know here so the whole community can see it too. Nothing is going to be fixed in this situation by me contacting you. You used to have amazing customer service and really care about your users needs. Not anymore, there hasn’t been a genuine reply to any users feedback in a long time. This use to be a great app with caring devs behind it, but I can’t say that is true anymore sadly. Zero stars.

Absolutely love, but am a broke college student :/. I’ve had this app for a few years now and can honestly say I love it. It’s helped me with so much, including with figuring out how my medications affected me, where before I was so confused with what was going on. Watching this app evolve has been so cool, and I used to have a subscription in the earlier days, which was super handy. I also just tried the free trial of the newest premium version, which is absolutely amazing, and provided me with so much information that I actually feel somewhat educated on my body and how it works. I am a newfound broke college student and am bummed I don’t have the funds to pay for it right now (which I believe is an essential part to keeping this app running, because though we should have the right to free access about the health of our own bodies, I know I can trust this app based on the knowledge that hundreds of hours of work have been put into this by real doctors, instead of finding less trustworthy and sometimes misleading information floating around the internet). I will continue to be loyal to this app and will also hopefully soon be able to take advantage of the healthcare advice again!

Not a fan of new format. I used to love flo. I’ve been using the app since my junior year of high school (I’m now a senior in college). I appreciate how I’ve been able to track my period through the years, as it’s been enormously helpful to my overall health, well-being, and awareness of my body. That being said, I have really struggled with the new updates that flo has undergone. Not only has the app become significantly less user-friendly, but the constant push to “go premium” has really negatively impacted my experience. I understand why they have a premium option, and I respect that it is there, but what I don’t respect is how I’m constantly being mislead in order to be trapped into signing up for a premium subscription. I find it really irresponsible that women who don’t want to pay for this app, will be given insights about their menstrual health, only to find out that they can’t have access to the information behave they don’t have an account! I used the chat feature a few times before, and it’ll leave me responding to chats for about 5 minutes, and right before they give me an answer about my health, they say I need to subscribe! It’s honestly cruel that an app meant to help women feel more secure about their health, is constantly misleading them like this, or trying to buy their desire for basic health info! Most of which can be googled, btw. I’ve really loved using flo, but am honestly considering shifting gears if things don’t change soon.

Good, but bugs. I really like this app! It helped me track my cycles and ovulation when I was trying to get pregnant, and then was super easy to swap over when I was finally pregnant! And the pregnancy side of things have been so good!!! I love opening it every day to find my new tips and advice for the day. It also helps me track my water, which I love. But, the new updates it has gone through have been sort of weird. It always prompts me to input my weight to track it, but that feature is gone! There is nowhere for me to input my weight anymore. Also, the chat feature is gone! I liked the “chat” at the beginning of every week even though you can only respond with pre written responses, it was very informative and useful. One week of pregnancy was incorrect (said I was week 8 even though I moved on to week 9) and it didn’t work because it knew something was wrong, and now I haven’t seen it since. Lastly, I loved all the of “stories” that it gave me during first trimester. A week to talk about exercise, a week for nutrition, a week for working while pregnant, etc. but as soon as second trimester hit, there’s nothing! I really looked forward to reading it everyday, but now there’s just a lack of information. I begin to wonder what I’m getting by paying “premium” because it sort of stopped all of the major things it was helping me with. But I loved it, so I’m mostly writing this review to let the creators know what they need to fix and bring back!!

Great Tracking Tool. I’ve used Flo for years and have loved it! It’s always helped me with tracking, and with their updates over time I’ve come to understand my cycle and symptoms better. I occasionally appreciate the different articles etc about symptoms and ovulation and have learned quite a bit. However, this most recent update I’m not a fan of. When going to log symptoms, it’s visually messy. It’s visually overwhelming and everything is smaller. Also, they took away product logging! This is incredibly frustrating as this is how I base how heavy my flow is. I’m able to go back and see, historically, how light or heavy I think my current flow is based on this point in previous cycles etc. And now there’s just an option for clots instead of size of clots. I like this but also dislike. Before, you only got the clot option with pads logged, and then it would ask the size. Now, you can log clots without pads, but no size option. I do like that there appears to be more options so symptoms, which I’ve always wished for, but it’s just a very busy screen now. Overall, I’ll continue to use the app because there’s no better one by far. I pay I believe $50 or $60 annually for the premium and will continue to. This app is doing great things for women and providing incredible education at fractions of the price you would pay professionally, and is FAR more reliable and reputable than simply Googling something. I just hope they make some more tweaks and bring back product logging!

Too many ads. I only want notifications that tell me when to anticipate my menses start date or ovulation, but I constantly get notifications like “Feeling frisky today? Your hormone levels are up!” “Set up a workout today” “It’s normal to feel down when your hormones drop” and other inappropriate statements that are embarrassing to receive when I am showing a work colleague something on my phone. I reported the issue to Flo and they said I had to turn off notifications altogether! It’s ridiculous how we cannot filter what we want to be notified of. Also, at the doctor’s I was asked the first date of my LMP. That’s what Flo is for. It took a full minute to open the app and click out of the annoying in-app pop ups that try to get me to use their features when all I wanted to do was go to my calendar. I don’t want to speak to your health advisor or whatever else you want me to do. I want a simple, unmessy, easy app to track my period. Lastly, I’ve been having issues opening the app and all I see is a huge ad saying “87% off Flo premium. Click next” and there is NO X at the corners to get away from the page. The only thing to click is “next” but I don’t want your premium. I have to close the entire app and reopen it to get the ad to disappear. Your app has a lot of people using it but it seems to be devolving into something sloppy and profit-hungry. I miss the days where it was a no-hassle, modest period tracker.

Too much for too little. I downloaded Flo when I was a sophomore in high school (now a sophomore in college) and I really enjoyed the app. Back then, the calendar of the app and it’s prediction capabilities were most appealing to me. All of the added perks that came along with Flo such as tracking your symptoms and the available informational articles were something that I enjoyed greatly. There were even little surveys that you could take that I enjoyed doing in my free time! Now, it seems that the creators of the app care more for those who upgrade to the premium version than those who use it for free. While it is expected to have some in app purchases that accompany programs such as these, it is very disheartening to see that you can access virtually nothing without subscribing. While I do still only use the app as a way to track the regularity of my period, I feel that I would be inclined to use it more often if I knew there were more things that I could access that were free. I also find it particularly annoying when I am using the automated messaging feature about something I am curious about with my cycle, I’m led on to believe I am going to get some answers. Instead I am given the go-around and can’t access the information without being pressured in to subscribing. I really enjoyed this app when I first downloaded it, but I am now disappointed in the fact that there is visually nothing that can be accessed unless you subscribe :/

I use it everyday. I just got this app yesterday and already love it. It’s so easy to use and very informative. Setting up your period (or pregnancy) might be a little confusing at first but once that’s done, you’re fine. I love how precise they try to be and get to know you with surveys (they’re optional). I also love how they give you all different articles to read about (romance, hygiene, body, clothing, exercise, etc.). You also get to chat anonymously with other women and girls - we really help each other out. I could write so much more but don’t want to take up too much time😂. I tried other apps and like this one the best - I would definitely recommend it!! I just finished my period so I don’t know how accurate this will be but based on my calendar at home, it’s right on track. This is the app to use! No app will be perfect, but this is the way to go - i can’t even say how much I love it (weird to be saying about a period app haha!) I’ll update my review once I’ve gotten my next period to see how accurate they are. One thing I don’t like is that they limit how many words/how long your comment can be which gets very annoying so if they can change that, it’d make the app even better.

Honest Review. After using this period app since I was 16-17 (I’m almost 24 now), in my honest opinion I’ve seen this app go backwards instead of forwards. It used to be my only reliable period tracking app that was actually accurate and gave good information on health and things about my irregular periods. Now it’s just become a constant “pay for the subscription in order to use even basic helpful tools!” But I will say that most of the articles you want to read on the app you can find on google for free, so why pay for it? Not to mention every single time I open the app the first thing I see is “SUBSCRIBE!” or “SALE!” and of course there’s no way to close out of it except to press “Accept” just to press “I don’t want it”. It’s annoying really. Not more annoying than the fact that essentially you can’t use much of anything besides tracking a period without being pushed to pay. I get having to afford things for development and updates to the app but that’s too much in my opinion. I really did like this app a lot more before it became money begging. I’m now going to look for a new one unfortunately. Period apps like this shouldn’t require money just to access basic content.

Great app with a minor-but annoying-issue. I’ve been using Flo for years to track my period cycles, and I’ve subscribed to Flo premium for two or three years. Thanks to the fertile/ovulation predictions on the calendar, I got pregnant the second month of trying. I switched the app to pregnancy mode. The app turns into one of the best pregnancy apps I use. BUT there’s one problem that’s pretty annoying. I went to my first ultrasound toward the end of what I thought was my 8th week of pregnancy, and the OB estimated that I was really almost a week ahead of what Flo predicted (based on my last period and average cycle length). I tried to change how far along I really was on the app, but it wouldn’t let me! There’s an option to change how far I was, but it would let me select an option that was ahead of the app prediction. I even tried to change the due date in hopes of changing the week I am in, but that didn’t work either. This is annoying because the “daily insights” aren’t synced up with my biological timeline, so I don’t have much use for the app anymore. I cancelled my premium subscription and I’ll be using a couple other pregnancy tracking apps that have let me change my progression time.

Overcharged so hard. I was charged $200 for 5 months. It was charging me for 2 premium subscription that I couldn’t cancel. I had to go on safari to finally figure out how to stop the reoccurring $35. I signed up for the year subscription $40 and then was charged $35 a month after that for 5 months. When I pull it up on the app it just shows the premium but looking into it more and pulling it up on safari, it charged me for 2 premium subscriptions and that’s how it was sneaking $35 a month out of my account. This app was wonderful, tracked my periods great, my ovulation and I even got pregnant a month into using the app. It’s just a huge bummer that I’m out $200. This is my first child and I needed this money for my family and instead this app robbed me of my hard earned money. Extremely disappointing. I tried reaching out to the app and they told me to talk to Apple which it wasn’t being charged through. Flo was charging me. Not Apple. Just impossible to get ahold of anyone these days. Extremely disappointed and wish someone would help me get my money back. I canceled and was still charged $35 a month. This app just keeps taking and taking. Love that the person that responded offered no help in contacting someone. Such a joke and will be disputing with bank. I’ve emailed 3 times got a respond, sent them the info they needed back and nothing. Just auto responses. I wouldn’t bother reaching out to them you can’t contact anyone.

Mostly good & helpful, but too much monetization. I love this app for tracking my period. As many other people said and I agree, the app is pretty accurate when predicting period start dates, ovulation dates, etc. It has been super helpful for me to track my period on this app because I can recognize consistent and non consistent patterns in my period. Whenever there are changes with my period, the app calculates that in and new predictions are still just as accurate. However, the only problem with this app is the constant push for the “premium subscription.” I get that many apps have that and it’s a part of making money, and I have no problem with the features that are specifically for premium members only. I personally am fine with just the core period tracking aspect of the app and that’s it. But everyday it offers the premium subscription when I open the app which can be annoying. I also hate getting a notification on my phone telling me “you may have tender breasts today, see why.” Especially since I’ve never had that symptom. But they push that notification to push an article that is for premium subscribers only. Other than the annoying monetization techniques they use, the app is really good and it has been super helpful to me.

STOP BEING PUSHY. I had used this app for years until I got the Mirena and stopped having a period, then I took it out and got pregnant some time after. After about a year and half I tried to use this app again. I hate logging in, because it forces me to click on the “log my symptoms” as soon as I log in. Well, what if I don’t want to log any symptoms today?! After they force me to do that, they force me to click on their go premium button. I DON’T WANT A PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION! So stop trying to force it down my throat. I’m about to look for a different option for a period tracking app or I’m about to track my period on my own personal calendar. My cycle is regular so it wouldn’t be hard. I don’t mind that you’ve moved the informational part of your app to paid. I get you guys are trying to run a business and make some money. However, the only real thing I want from a period tracker is, wait for it….. TO TRACK MY PERIOD! I delete “fun” gaming apps if I have to put up with ads constantly. Look, if you had a one time payment that I don’t have to deal with your ads anymore that was say 99¢-$2 I’d probably buy it or if your subscription was cheaper I might consider subscribing. I really don’t think I would use your paid services enough to justify $9.99 a month, especially when I can do quick google searches or read a freaking book about my body.

Rare: Excellent App AND Customer Service. I love Flo, the premium features are worth the price, it has so much useful content I’ve never used a tracker app like it! To all the people who are complaining about it being pay to access simply need to go download any one of the dime a dozen, free, simplistic period/pregnancy trackers since that’s what they actually want. Flo is so much more. The extra course in awakening/taking control of your desire (or a name something along those lines) was incredibly helpful and insightful, especially for someone not knowing where to start. The little q&a message boards, articles, live sessions, etc were also great for more inexperienced ladies to get solid info plus dispel some myths about women’s sexuality and body insecurities which I would have loved to have as younger person. That’s not even mentioning the insanely insightful tracker part itself! Then, to top it off, the customer service is excellent which is so unusual to have one or the other let alone both. I had a misunderstanding about the subs/billing and they cleared it up with absolutely no problem at all. The creators of Flo are brilliant and genuinely doing a service for us ladies interested in more than finding out when our period starts,

The #1 complaint you’ve had. It really is sad that the premium feature is even necessary for this type of thing. I feel the best way to make money would be by maybe adding ads, or maybe people could buy a premium where it just customizes everything. One feature I feel should not be paid for, is the thing where you can talk to a professional about your health issues, or trying to find a specific article to read for a major problem you’ve been having, and to see how everyone else has dealt with it. As a woman and tons of other woman who use flo, feel like crap about this. Flo wasn’t just about tracking, it was about relating with all the anonymous people about basic woman problems that are to uncomfortable to talk about in real life. It really saddens me you have done this, especially when the “AI message” or whatever, says something along the lines of “your period is off” or “there could be medical problems, and then let that “AI” continue the conversation, and then wait until the end to tell you to buy premium. I just feel you have many ways around “keeping the basics free”, at least give some things back to us and make more things for people to buy, that are unrelated to something that should automatically be on your app to help women. I know it’s been two years of people saying this on the reviews so this probably won’t reach far, I’m just hoping in some way it’ll be better😕

Disappointment as the app “grows”. I understand that Flo is run by A LOT of people that need to be paid so while I understand that premium is needed in order to make their ends meet to pay everyone on board. I think there are a few select things they could do to for people who can’t afford premium. Firstly, go back to letting us see more than just two months predictions of our menstrual cycle. I don’t understand why that had to be limited if it doesn’t really seem like a “premium feature”. Cycle predictions, at this point, and along with period tracking, seem to be the only TRUE free features of this app up until this update. I feel like next, “My daily insights” are also going to be a Premium Feature and I feel like that would be overly selfish of a “free” app. Another thing y’all could do is provide SOME free content of the Insights we currently have to pay to see. Like a preview if you will. This would have been a great app had it stayed accessible to teens barely getting their cycle. Women’s health is hardly talked about and a lot of girls end up feeling insecure about themselves because they see changes and feel things no one wants to talk about and a lot of that is seen here in this app. While it is a shame that Flo had to start charging, it is understandable but work on making important information accessible, please!

I used to love this app. A few years ago I used Flo to keep track of my period and learn healthy ways to help my discomforts with it, then I took a long break from it as I started taking a birth control that stopped my period completely, and since the other functions of the app weren’t needed at the time, I decided to let it go. One of the first things I did when I decided to get off the pill was redownload the app, actually somewhat excited to be able to use it to help me track and not only aid me again in making that time of the month easier but also should my fiancé decide we want to try for children in the future when it would be best to try and helping in ways to maintain a healthy and open relationship to talk about wants/needs… and I’m really disappointed to see what’s happened to it. I used to be able to get aid with my symptoms that were actually helpful, now I get “Hi, we can help! But only if you pay to become a premium member.” I understood the function before on more in depth things, but now it’s literally any symptom including just having regular cramps, nausea, or back pain. It’s a shame that it’s become more about their profit than actually helping people that need it, and I’m definitely going to start researching other apps that do something similar that hopefully will help do more than just pressure me constantly to upgrade.

2+ Year User and still Loving it !. I have been using this app for awhile now and have been very dedicated to tracking my body's cycle. With this app I avoided pregnancy successfully for 2 years without hormonal birth control by working around my fertility rhythm using the information Flo provided. The longer you use it, the more accurate it it becomes. I think it is essential to track our menstruation. Apps like these can be life changing for women; Reproductive knowledge is empowerment for women. I always enjoy the updates and community sections. Tried other period trackers but I always just come back to Flo because I enjoy the aesthetically pleasing interface and ease of use. This is an app that gets better with time. Only until recently have I desired more; after giving birth I'm breastfeeding of course, and that can often cause you to go a while without a period. I wish there was a way to log this information as I await to have my cycle again, in a similar manner to flipping a switch for the pregnancy mode. When you look at past data, pregnancy shows up as yellow days in your year calendar. Just a thought. Could continue to aid in accurate predictions if this info was considered.

Starting to deteriorate. The app was great a few years ago because all the information that I received from my stats were really useful. However, recently there has been a premium version added to the app (a little pricey for me) and you can’t get away from their ads. Now, when you open the app you have to wait 3 seconds to close their own ads, not ads from other companies, Flo ads. It’s starting to feel like a cookie clicker game where you have to watch their ads to use the app. Also, now when I receive my stats, I have to go through this virtual assistant where I punch in pre-made answers and it seems a bit redundant to me (and at the end they suggest you pay for premium). I have recently switched to the Apple version of Flo in the health app because it has a lot of the same features but you don’t have to be bombarded by their suggestion to pay for a premium version. Really disappointed that the app got to this point because I used to always suggest that my friends use the app, but not anymore. I might be more interested in getting premium but $50 a year or $10 for a month seems a little pricey for something I only really spend about 5 minutes a day on every few days and I worry the premium version might not get me away from more ads to come from Flo.

Deleting the App. Gave a 5 star so this will be seen. I have been using this app for well over 5 years, it used to be so great and user friendly. And I really appreciated being able to track my cycle and have insight as to what I was going through, all the way up to when I got pregnant early last year with my daughter. & then the app didn’t really have much to offer compared to other apps as far as tracking my pregnancy. I redownloaded the app once I started having periods again postpartum and every so many minutes within using the app, it prompts me to purchase the full subscription to be able to use even basic features that used to be available to everyone without purchase. In addition, when it prompts you to make a purchase, it literally forces you to agree and continue into the purchase by not allowing an exit button or anything to back out of the ad until you’re having to deny the purchase when it tries to ask for a payment method. It’s ridiculous that they are so money hungry that they now feel the need to try to force you into a purchase. It will also offer insight on your cycle but then pop up with an ad that you need to make a purchase to even see the insight. Other than being able to enter when you have your period and look back on the calendar, it is now a pointless app, I can literally use the calendar on my phone to do the same thing.

Love! But hate the premium pay.. This app is extremely helpful tracking periods, seeing what stages your at, realizing more about the stages and how your affected by them, reminders for birth control, and the secret chats. I’ve learned a lot about my period lengths and the way the different stages have an impact on my physical and mental health. The secret chats are so helpful and sweet, it feels like a safe girl area to talk about things and relate to others. It’s helpful hearing how other women feel dealing with similar things or teaching each other things. The one problem I have with the app is having to pay to get premium. I get that they want more money, but I think women go through so much as is and having such a fantastic app but having to pay to learn more about your body is stupid. The even stupider part is how you can google the things they can teach, it would just be significantly more convenient to be able to learn about my own body without having to search on a million websites or paying. I wouldn’t mind paying besides the fact that I’m a teen with no way to get a job yet and even if I had the money I have no cards or way to pay for it online. Women to women, please change the premium pay and make it free.

No longer user friendly. I’ve been using this app for years and years and when they updated the app they really try pushing its users to buy the premium package. Everything used to be FREE. Every single one of these apps are greedy and want to force people to pay for things that shouldn’t need to be paid for in the first place—especially when, again, EVERYTHING in the app was FREE at one point. Apps can still make money using annoying ads. Flo is persistent on trying to make their users waste their money. And the prices are ridiculous. This was my go-to app whenever I would track my cycle, and get helpful health information. This app doesn’t provide anything at all anymore. Its disappointing what this app has come to. Premium should give people the option to make customizations and what not. Not prevent its users from getting necessary information. Anyone that recommends any other app the doesn’t charge its users to track their cycles please let me know! Update: Flo is using bots to write fake reviews please don’t fall for that. This app USED TO BE AMAZING years ago. It’s no longer helpful, unless if all you want to do is track your periods and get nothing else out of it. Don’t ever waste your money on an app. The Flo Team just makes excuses for why they push premium so hard on to their users. It’s sad. Just use pop up ads on go on with your day. There is no reason at all to be charging users for information THAT USED TO BE FREE. We all miss the old app bring it back.

Free access is great but subscription is lacking... I love this app and all of what it includes, especially the secret chats! I’ve been tempted for awhile to get the subscription and use the personalized health assistant, however now that I have it I’m unfortunately pretty disappointed. Multiple times now when I’ve spent time going through all of the questions, it hasn’t given me the personalized feedback. This time for instance, at the end of answering all the questions when I hit finalized it said it needed to recalculate, that my logs were updated, and this information is no longer relevant… without ever giving me any of the information I wanted. Now I can’t find or access this chat either, and since this isn’t the first time this has happened it feels like quite a waste of time. I was looking forward to the personalized insight on things related to my cycle and health but so far I don’t feel like I’ve gotten that. For now I don’t think the subscription is worth it for me, but would revisit if there is better access to chat history, and if the health assistant starts working as it should before my subscription ends next year. I do also have a screenshot of this issue when it happened because I was concerned I wouldn’t be able to re-visit the chat.

So Incredibly helpful, but not enough. I have been using Flo since I was 11 years old in 7th grade. As a middle school girl who, like every other girl who got their first period, i didn’t know what to expect. Flo was incredibly helpful with mapping my cycle and figuring out my symptoms and it made it super comforting knowing that there were so many other girls going through the same thing. I loved reading the stories and the daily insights because they helped me understand more about my cycle and flow and what to expect. Unfortunately, and very disappointingly, there is now a Premium Plan where you have to pay to access most of the more helpful features of the app. I understand that it might be some women's choice to pay for this app, however, there a millions of 10+ year old girls who are not willing to pay for the app and therefore, they don’t have access to the stories that help them realize they are not alone, or to the Flo Help Assistant and Daily Insights because it always cuts off right as they are about to explain why they are feeling one of their symptoms and how to possibly help with it. I adore this app immensely, but i feel it isn’t fair to the girls who are figuring out their cycle and could use the help- that this app used to provide for free- that they are not getting.

_Wonderful! SUGGESTION-PLEASE READ. Flo is such a simple and effective app to use, it has everything a girl/woman needs to keep track of her period, ovulation, pregnancy and everything in between. The health insights are an absolutely fantastic idea! To make this app even better, I have a suggestion that I think every person who uses this app would enjoy. In the discussion insights, there are many users who talk about their want for a section just for discussions. The idea is that for there to be another feature, in which everybody can anonymously post their stories, questions and thoughts and feelings, any be able to give and receive advice (especially in the psychological sense). I believe this will make Flo even better, and I speak for everyone. Please take this idea into consideration! Keep up the good work!

Not In love with the new update. I used to love the simplicity of this app. I was able to track my period, symptoms and ovulation and get a quick breakdown of the month every time I logged my period and it was perfect. With the update, some of the things I used to love about the app are unavailable without the membership and I get constant pop ups for information about the premium version and quizzes, that if you take will have you at a sign up page to join the premium membership. The constant pestering about the new membership makes me not want to go on and long my period or symptoms because a quick 5 second action now takes a few minutes of adds about premium features. I understand and appreciate the effort that has gone into creating the premium app, but I am at the point where I’m ready to get rid of the app all together as it’s just not what it used to be , and the changes haven’t benefited my experience.

Good but.... It is totally awesome how you can know when I could have my period just in case I forget, and the emotion things and stuff are pretty cool too (no other app that I know has that) but... I’m 11... so yeah... I can’t track my own! I only help my 13 year old cousin with setting it up because she got her period not long ago(she got it about 2 and a half months before her 13th birthday and when she could, she downloaded the app for all the other stuff that isn’t on other apps...because before that she had one that makes age not matter). And most of the 5-6th graders at my school have their period too. And also some 4th grades and 1-5 3rd graders! I really want this app and to rate it 5 stars but I can’t because I’m “too young”. Even if when I’m 13 and I do get this app... I won’t change the rating unless I KNOW younger people can track their periods. Please fix this, Sincerely, this random girl who put too many words into a review...

Good until the latest update. I used to love this app, have been using it for over 2 years. It was accurate and provided a lot of information. Would have easily been 5 stars. That is, until the latest update. Now it asks you to upgrade to premium for any and all information. It gives you a little teaser then automatically directs you to upgrade to premium where you have to pay (but they keep shoving down your throat a free one month trial even though cc details are required for that). Used to be a great free app, not so much anymore. Unfortunately will be looking elsewhere now. Reading the other reviews, they give a stock standard answer as to why they are making more content for premium users only but I read a response from them one year ago saying they valued the free subscribers and would maintain the same level of content for them. Guess they lied and decided they wanted money instead of loyal customers.

Good, but…. I recently switched over to Flo, finding that Apple Health’s period tracking feature was super basic. Definitely Flo is better, in terms that I can log and keep track of a lot more. The really disappointing part is how much is behind a pay wall. I get that there are a lot of dedicated people working for Flo write the articles and need to be paid, but at the same time, women’s health shouldn’t be for profit. I think the app would therefore benefit from keeping daily insights free, or allowing one free read a day, so I can still access some of the education stuff. Additionally, I think the cycle report should also be free - that’s information that could be highly useful for women and their doctors, and enable diagnosis. I’m totally going to keep using Flo because it’s the best I’ve come across, but I really think all users would appreciate just a few more free features.

Not very useful but chatrooms are great. If all you want is an app to help you know when ur period is coming, this isnt the one. This is because, firstly, you have to constantly be declining adds for it's paid version while the actual tracker bit isnt even that good - it doesnt notify you when you need it to (maybe the day or days before ur period), it also doesn't pick up the patterns in the symptoms you put into it eg i always have mood swings before my period and but only register that they are swings when my period starts - it would have been rlly helpful if the app could have notified me when id be getting that symptom instead of me putting the info in retrospectively every month for no reason. It does, however, always clearly tell me when ill be ovulating which is not info i care about rn. Overall not v useful app. However, I will say that the chat groups on this app for taboo topic like discharge and vaginismus are a rlly good idea and very useful too.

TW pregnancy loss. Good for tracking ovulation and periods. I’ve used for years and it has been great for keeping track of my cycle while I’ve been trying to get pregnant. I have to bring it up though. I recently lost a pregnancy and it was a horrible constant reminder because they don’t support you through this grief. You have to change the setting from ‘pregnant’ and it asks why and you have to select ‘I’m not pregnant anymore’. After that it constantly tells you that your period is late and asks if you could be pregnant. I’ve already had to say I’m not anymore so I don’t understand why there is a notification popping up on my phone asking if my period is late due to pregnancy. This definitely needs to be addressed and sorted.

Good but there are issues. Flo is overall a pretty decent app. It tracks quite accurately, and has a ton of information available for users. My one issue is the app’s attitude towards LGBTQ+ people and matters. I think the app should have a choice at the beginning for what gender you are, so if you don’t identify as female you won’t be misgendered every time you open it. I also have a massive problem with the secret chat, as my comments keep getting deleted. I have ones with lots of likes that are then removed because they violate the policy. I can’t help but notice that they are always the ones in the LGBTQ+ sections, talking about LGBTQ+ topics. I get very annoyed because I’m not discriminating against anyone, not being offensive or swearing excessively, not being political (unless gay is counted—which, in the gay section is very strange), and I’m not promoting anything illegal! It’s always on topic and completely relevant, but they always get removed. This is exceptionally frustrating when I use the app as a way to connect with other queer people/women and need the sense of community; which is impossible when comments get removed. Apart from that, it’s pretty good. Please take this into consideration for future updates.

The ‘upgrade to premium’ prompts are infuriating. I am so thankful to have an app that I can use to track and predict my period. However, I am getting so fed up with the constant offer of information, only to find I can’t see any of it without signing up to a subscription. The app never used to be like this. I have floated in and out of the paid version but after some time All I really wanted was the ability to track my symptoms and dates. But like today for instance, I jump on, log my period and some of my symptoms. Then, a prompt opens ‘your latest symptom tracker said ‘cramps’ find out why you’re having these symptoms’…so I tap the box, it opens to a story, I get through two taps only to find I’ll have to subscribe to find out more. This feels so stupid to me - yes I know you need to make money, but don’t bait people with information only to be told they can’t read it. If there is a free version can you just remove all access to paid components, instead of this little teaser of info? I find it almost a bit unethical and a bit sneaky. It makes me not want to use the app.

Excellent for all stages of life. This app is excellent for first time young adults right up to menopause for tracking your periods, ovulation and monthly symptoms and pregnancy. It is intuitive and changes with the more information you give it tho u may not notice at first. I only have the free version which is more than enough for me and well thought of to not add pressure to buy any extras so it still gives you the critical needs of the app all for free. I urge all women to download and enter this app daily and watch as your body tells you subtle signs of what’s to come. Thank you for this well made easy to use app! For years now It’s Helped me track my period and then ovulation and now pregnancy. The added private chat subjects weekly opening up the ease of conversations women just should have and all private so no stress discussing anything. And best of all... it works perfectly fine for free for critical information so your not held at ransom at all. Highly recommend for young women new to the world of their body and periods or those trying to conceive for tracking body symptoms that you may otherwise miss. Very detailed daily multiple choice entries of symptoms to help the app predict what your cycle is doing. So easy to use and links with health app for added benefits and info all in one place. The best app I have on my phone.

Good depending on your cycle. I found this good for general tracking and being able to see patterns however as soon as my husband and I started trying to conceive i realised the ovulation prediction was wrong. I have a cycle that moves around up to 5 days, although it is not classed as irregular it’s hard for Flo to predict ovulation. Due to my personal circumstances (hard to track O) i started charting my basal temp - and subscribed to natural cycles. In Natural cycles you can plot the temps, and through that it was easy to find that i ovulated on the 20th day, not 14th. Flo is great if you like to track all yr PMS symptoms, log as much info as much as possible. You can add yr temp in Flo, but natural cycles generates a chart. This saved me some $$ on OP sticks. It’s always down to personal preference. If Flo generated a basal temp chart i’d give it 5 stars.

Excellent App overall!!. “Flo” is a fantastic app that effectively caters to its overall purpose, record, predict and calculate the average in your own period cycle and ovulation. As a long-time user, and someone who has a fairly regular cycle, with no children or other medical conditions that could result in irregular periods, I’ve had nothing but a great experience with the app. As a busy woman who forgets when her cycle is coming up, Flo notifies you if your period is coming up soon, but this prediction feature works far better when you log in your period symptoms (bloating, flow level, acne, etc) lastly start and end dates. The user interface is simple and easy to follow when setting up your account plus navigating throughout the app is simple and seem less! Would highly recommend!

Impressed. I have been using Flo for almost a year now on the free version and loved it to track everything then recently I changed it to the premium just because I had the chance with the free trial and all and all I have to say is wow I’m actually impressed. The the daily guides, info packs and even your cycle summaries are so detailed. If this is the new flo I don’t think I’ll end up going to the free version it’s actually worth paying for now which I never thought I’d say. It’s very informative and the information is so valuable! The only change I’d make is I wish you could custom a few icons and add things like meals etc. or toilet movements but I mean other than that it’s great!

Thank you Flo!. I had received 3 positive pregnancy tests, so I was certain I was pregnant. Did my ultrasound and found out I was 5 weeks and 1 day pregnant. I saw my gestational sack but no yolk sack yet. I cried and was so worried because the lady had said she couldn’t see a pregnancy, prior to seeing the gest sack. I had been anxious from the minute I left to the moment I woke up in the morning the next day. I downloaded this app and maybe about 6-7 other pregnancy apps and honesty I have loved every second of reading on Flo. Helped me calm my anxiety of my mild cramps, helps me keep track of my symptoms and the tracking of my baby development! Absolutely get if you’re an anxious mama like me, will help relieve your stresses and I hope for a successful pregnancy for you! May God be with you 🙏

Developer won’t cancel subscription. During trial period, I tried to cancel my subscription before I incurred any cost as I didn’t find the app suitable for my needs. I couldn’t find it under my usual subscription location to be able to cancel, so I emailed the developer who explained to me that I must not have an active subscription and that I won’t be charged once the trial period ends. Today I noticed I have been charged the premium fee, despite attempting to have the subscription cancelled. Again, I have emailed the developer who has given me a long list of things to try (which I tried the first time) in order to cancel it again! This is really poor on your behalf, there should be a simplified “opt out” not making customers jump through hoops and be charged unnecessarily even after they’ve contacted you asking for it to be cancelled!! I’m still awaiting a response and refund!! If I could give you zero stars, I would.

Prediction is off. This app isn’t like any other app, it helps a lot! Whatever you’re unsure of Flo has the answers. I’ve used it for about 2 years and other apps aren’t as helpful as Flo. There’s only one thing about Flo I don’t like and that it’s always getting the prediction of my period wrong. It would always say one day late and then two days late. I’m not even sure if I’m able to fix this but it really frustrated me, and worried me. Sometimes my period would skip a month and that REALLY stressed me out. But apparently it was only because of stress. That one little issue with the app is that stressful but regardless it’s a really helpful app. There are articles you can read to help you understand your body and what happens as you get older. I would only wish for the app to fix that issue.

I am not a pregnant person.. Loved this app until it recently started referring to pregnant women as pregnant ‘people’. This app is concerned with menstrual health and period tracking, something experienced by 50% of the earth’s population — the word we have for these people is women. It has just occurred to me that the people at Flo do not even have a definition for the word woman anymore as according to them, adult human females are not necessarily women. Woman is not a dirty word. Adult human females need a word to describe ourselves and the specific health issues we face. Flo should know that better than most. Keep identity politics out of our health apps. Can Flo define ‘woman’? Does Flo even have a word for its target audience? Or are we separated into our body parts? Menstruating people, people with a cervix, pregnant people… this is both dehumanising and medically irresponsible.

I live by my Flo Tracker. My Fav by Far and it really helps prepare me for upcoming Events and outings as well as having the graph I am able to clearly see the changes each month as I want to show my Doctor once I have enough information stored. Would love for example when Ive chosen angry or mood swings if there was option was it caused by work, partner etc because I use the note section alot to write what was the cause but it does not show on the graph. Also alot of questions are off Topic which is a great read and helpful I was wondering can there could be a colour option or Icon to be clicked for Off Topic comments so its easier to get to the gold mine of help and experience for that subject. Lastly its invaluable having other Women of the World to reach out to, THANK YOU DEVELOPERS for this App and making it Free 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

It’s all about the Subscription. I should have never updated my app. I used to enjoy using Flo to track the basics (for years!) - to track my cycle and my pregnancy, and I used to even enjoy reading some chats every now and then, but now nothing is free! Everything is “Choose your plan”. Every window that I try to open this prompt pops up to get you to subscribe for access. Everything is now locked compared to years ago when basic information was free. I know, I get it, that’s how they make money. But it’s just so disappointing when the basics that used to be free are now taken away. I used to look forward to reading a bit about the baby on a new week (again, basic information that I can find on google) but the point was, I could just go on to this app and be able to read about this. Now to access anything, you have to subscribe. Just disappointing. Thanks for all the years with free access. But for now good bye.

Great app but... I really enjoy using Flo and reading through articles which gives me a better understanding of my body but I am extremely disappointed now that there is a premium feature. We all should be entitled to read information and receive personal data but now we all need to pay for that. I feel there is no need to pay for certain features such as reading articles as you can so easily go onto the internet to find these things out. Everything used to be free and it was helpful but now we need to pay for information about our own cycles. I have had Flo for a few years now and the change has left me disappointed. I love the app but the premium feature doesn’t help.

Chat rooms. I don’t know about other age groups but in the 13-17 group there’s a LOT of girls requesting a chat room or something similar for sharing our problems, rather than having to scroll all the way back down through the insights to find one with comments. If any of you developers actually read the comments, you’ll notice how many of them begin with “off topic, but...” To me this really indicates the need for an improved feature on sharing our thoughts and issues. Suggestions: - chat room as an added feature - being able to “favourite” some of the insights so that we don’t have to scroll down - notifications for when someone has replied to our comment - more insights that encourage Flo users to comment on a diverse range of topics (in order to mitigate the “off topic, but...”)

great app. i love flo! very productive, check on the app almost everyday to see when my next period is! i’m not sure if it’s efficient though because i did put it when i started and finished my period from the last month but the next month i could start days before what the app had said i started. i hope you understand what i mean, sometimes it can’t be 100% efficient also with the pregnancy’s and stuff because i’m young and i’ve definitely know i’m not pregnant or going to be, anytime soon. besides that, i still continue to use it because it’s better than using a regular calendar and counting up the days because my days are very random so i don’t blame the app for not getting the right days. Love the app! Would recommend!

💖🌸AMAZING🌸💖. I’m 13 and I’ve had my period for ages now and so far I haven’t found much apps that are really good. But I saw Flo come up on my Snapchat and I downloaded it, I wasn’t expecting too much as every other app I have tried was horrible. But I love flo! It’s amazing! There are heaps of surveys on there to help you! Of course they are optional. But I absolutely love this app. This app tracks your ovulation, and helps you if your sexually active, and it has a pregnancy tracker in case your planning on getting pregnant or if you are pregnant. You can either have this mode “on” or “off”, of course mine is off but this app is just amazing! I definitely recommend you to this app and I have recommended it to my friends too. There are in store purchases but I’m not sure what they are I’ve never bought anything, it’s completely free. And it’s amazing. I wouldn’t recommend any fix ups, it’s just great.

this app actively strives to make me hate it. All I want to do is track my period on the calendar and I can’t do that without 12 millions popup ads. No, I do not want to pay for the app, I don’t need the premium features. I also only want notifications for when my period is expected ect, all the extra notifications and beyond annoying (yes I’ve gone in to settings to see if I can turn them off). Also there’s no way for me to change my name, I’ve deleted and re-downloaded the app multiple times to try and pair it with the names on my Apple ID and it just won’t work. So I’m stuck with my dead name, I have contacted support for this too and they were absolutely no help at all. Unfortunately I can’t seem to find any other options so I have to keep using this app, it’s beyond infuriating. I’m having intense pms, trying to check when I’m due and I get so many popups that I just give up and end up crying. Come on dude, this needs serious fixing

Loyalty lost!. I have been using this app for more than 3 years now, and found it very reliable and helpful. It helped me a lot during my first pregnancy, especially the insights, tips, and calendar etc.. So easy and simple to use! BUT for the past few months flo has changed from a lively insightful women's app to a useless space waster on my phone. No notifications whatsoever anymore. At first I thought it was my phone, but when I checked the settings I realised it was because I now have to pay to continue using it. The pregnancy calendar tracker no longer gives insights like it used to. I clicked on the insights a few days ago and was happy to see some information, only to be bitterly disappointed when it disappeared before I was able to read it! That was the last straw, and I have now downloaded another app, and will be deleting yours, seeing as you are now too commercialised to care about your long time users!

Just a quick issue I had.. So around last year, I had Flo and I followed all of the guidelines, which everyone should. But for some reason I kept getting reported? When I say reported I don’t mean a small suspension or anything, I had a suspension for MONTHS! To the point where, when I posted a comment I would time how long it would take until I got a message from Flo saying I’m doing something wrong. I mentioned this already, but it was still really irritating. Other than that issue, this is a great app and I love how there’s a secret chats (without that issue I had) but everyone is also really supporting and nice, it’s the best! I remember I would read some romance stories before going to sleep every night, either romance or period memes which I love just as much!

Has been getting annoying. Now, I don’t want to deter anyone who’s recently gotten their periods or looking for a new tracker, but this is coming from my experience alone. I’ve had my period since I was 11 years old, and going through different tracker apps to track my periods so I know when they arrive. Recently, I have not been notified 5 days before my periods (which I have set to let me know) and my predictions have failed to reload again and again. I tried deleting the app, creating another account, and more, but the problem keeps popping up time and time again. Because of this issue, I don’t get notified for when my periods start. At first, it was a brilliant app for me, but now it’s starting to not be so good anymore. I’m having to delete this app from my phone and move to get another app as this is becoming extremely annoying. I like to know 5 days ahead cause mine can be heavy when they first start. I was so happy to use this app for 5 years now, but as soon as the new updates roll out, technical issues appear more often. I’m sorry for those who might want this app, but don’t go off it based on this review and another review. Try for yourself first cause this just could be my account/s or the app on my end itself. Please fix this major issue for the future updates!

Great app till you had to pay for everything. I used to rely on this app to track ovulation and periods and analysis my symptoms throughout my whole cycle. I’ve been using this app since 2017 and it’s always been my favourite app but with all the features slowly being taken away and being paid subscription only it’s not as helpful as it used to be. There’s no point even logging symptoms because you have to pay for the insights. All you can see on the free version is period predictions which so many other apps offer with less ads anyway. They have slowly been increasing what you have to pay for for years and I understand why the app creators would charge for things but to slowly take it away from long term app users who rely on Flo to assist with medical conditions has sucked and I can’t even access my old data that’s entered in the app as I can’t afford to pay for the subscription.

Great until recently. Have used the app for a few years and have loved it. I’ve just decided to make the switch to a different highly rated period app after contemplating it for a fair while. The main reason is that features on Flo are constantly being restricted to premium members. I believe top notch features could be a paid subscription model but not sure why this is the case when earlier versions of the app had almost everything for free. If you don’t mind a very simple app for free, or paying for the details - get the app, or at least consider it near the top of your choices I don’t like the increasing content restrictions. It feels like profit is the priority now, not open information. I’m sure a large number of the target audience are young, somewhat vulnerable and unsure of the things they experience during menstruation. They’re also probably a group who has less access to money for the app. Sexual liberation is also becoming a focus for the app, but it feels like this is a marketing ploy to gain more paid subscribers as it’s not free for the masses.

Features to add. The app is great and helpful but I feel like a feature that should be added is energy levels or something similar to that, plus with the stress it should allow you to select an option as to why (work, school, personal life, no reason etc.) and more emotions to choose from such as agitated and depressed also in the exercise section walking should be put there as another option other than that everything seems perfect! Other feature that should be added is instead of just having days have times during the days as for example I find I lot of the time my period sort stops or I won’t bleed during the night but will during the day and a lot of the time I’ll start my period very late in the afternoon making the amount of days the app says I have slightly inaccurate

Love this but pls take note. I love this app and it is very helpful although it does have some features that I don’t like or would like to improve. Please can you add more options in the daily log, like different feelings, types of medication/vitamins, more types of exercise, any unusual bodily functions, things you ate today, how your skin/hair is etc would be amazing!!!! Also can you please bring back the chat room things where we talk about subjects and offer advice? I loved those and I know that so many other girls did too. Or even can you make a general chat room for girls to talk about anything? That is a request I’ve seen a number of times and I know that Flo users would adore that feature. I definitely support the whole don’t be afraid to talk about your period thing and the videos with famous women about periods are awesome but I reckon the Flo users liked it better when you just had the daily advice and chat rooms. Love the advice too! But can you broaden your advice page to how to deal with relationships and stuff? Thank you so much!!!! I love Flo so much and I only want to see it improve so if you can improve any of these things above that would be amazing! xx

Cluttered. I can’t open the app without it trying to direct me to a personalisation quiz, or a bot chat room with “fun facts about periods”, or an article about sexual health, or unsolicited advice about my exercise/hygiene/dietary habits, or random mythbuster facts about generic biological functions like goosebumps, or... And for the love of god, I’ve turned off every notification except “your period is due”, and STILL multiple pop-ups a day chirping about my hormone levels, and new deals on the app, and whatever else this thing thinks I need shoved in my face. Look, I just want to mark the day I woke up in a pool of blood, maybe log a few symptoms, and check the graph to see how this compares to last month. Get out of my face. Please. Every time I check in there’s more useless add-ons to wade through before I can get to the basic core functions I want to use.

Love it. I absolutely love this app and it helps so much and is very accurate. Usually I’m not exactly regular but a few days off from the last one and it still predicts it perfectly. Flo feels like a personal doctor because it knows me so well AND there is also a great community of people on it to support you. I love that it is anonymous and it talks about issues that need to be discussed and I feel so much better about myself cause everyone just brings me up and shows me I’m not the only person suffering with different things. The only thing that is bad is that if you post something later on you have to find that post again and look. I would rather if there was a section that told you if you got a reply. Other than that I think this app is great and I really recommend it.

Great for my partner, useless for me. My partner has said great things about this app, being able to track things, the info, heaps of stuff. But all of those tools and features seem to be locked to her, and I can’t see any of it. She can’t even choose to share it. Basically I get some strange quizzes every now and then and very basic tracking predictions that pretty much every health app out there has. But the difference is most of those apps make the data shareable between partners. My partner is constantly having to show me stuff on her phone on her Flo app, that is highly relevant to our pregnancy, because I literally just have no access to it despite being listed as the partner on her profile. Honestly we don’t really see much point of me having the app, I may as well uninstall it and just look at hers, it would be the same experience at the end of the day.

Free version is now useless.. I have been using this app to manage and track my endo symptoms and cycle for +5 years and in that time I have seen the developers remove more and more features to the point it is no longer functional as a free app. The last straw for me was seeing that recently they removed the feature that simply shows what day of your cycle it is, now you must pay for this. I didn’t mind not having access to the premium features, I was even willing to tolerate the constant disruptions pushing “discount offers”, but now that the essential function of the app - basic tracking of your cycle - has become a paid feature, I’m finally saying goodbye to Flo as it is useless to me now. I checked out the trial and can say as a paid app it is overpriced for such basic features, such as generic advice and simple tracking and predictions that you can do for free in Apple Health.. Or a calendar, honestly, which is probably safer for US citizens affected by the overturning of Roe v Wade, given Flo’s lack of guarantee for the security of their user’s cycle data in the wake of this.. I understand app developers need to make money but this is blatant capitalisation on what is a necessity for menstruating people. Bye Flo.

Great app for first pregnancy need more options for pregnancy after loss!. This app was great for my first pregnancy, the tracking and information was really helpful. Sadly we lost him at 30 weeks. It was obviously really hard to go into the app and say I am no longer pregnant. It then got even harder in my current pregnancy as it feels like all the information is aimed at people who haven’t suffered loss. It would be great if there was a rainbow pregnancy tracking option which focused on different things as this app now feels too positive and unrealistic to me. It was also really hard when I went to track this pregnancy when it asks how many children you have because that question is not cut and dry, and also triggering for someone who has had a stillborn baby. So more options for pregnancy after loss would be great!

So Good!. I had no hope for this app, just thought it was be one of those crappy apps. But this is super reliable, gives you everything you need to put down and more things like that. I only had a little bit of information on my cycle and it’s literally so accurate already which I DID NOT expect at all ( that’s why I had no hope for it ). But it’s just SO GOOD, simple and easy to function for the younger people like me out there. The only thing is, when you are logging in your daily symptoms or period symptoms there isn’t an option for aching. A lot of people I know get aching in their back AND in other areas in your body that just take over your body and eventually your body is aching so bad. For me, my main period symptom is this horrible aching in my thighs to my feet and I have no option to log it in. So I was just wondering if you guys could add in a feature to make that an option to log down :) Thank you for making my period regular!!! I seriously recommend it! <3

I love it but to improve.... I love the app because its so helpful, informative and easy to use to help track your health. It also suggests articles about your body (such as acne) to improve your overall health and wellbeing. If you want to go the extra mile, you can take courses to provide a more in-depth solution to any problems you may be experiencing by answering questions to make the courses personalised to your advantage. However to improve the app, if some courses and other resources are made free or are more affordable (especially since younger teen girls may be using the app) then I think the app would benefit and be enjoyed more by its wide and diverse audience. I also think if this is changed, Flow could benefit significantly by attracting more users as the app is one of, if not the best app for providing information about health and wellbeing for girls and women.

It’s ok. I use the paid version. It’s pretty good and has a lot of cool features but I’m using the app to track my PCOS symptoms while on oral contraceptive and skipping periods, the app doesn’t update properly when I start a new pack of pills early (skipping a period) and is constantly telling me my period is due in one day or is overdue. I’ve followed the help guides but this is still happening. Also you can’t set it to ask for your weight once a week, it’s every day or nothing which could be quite triggering to a lot of people, and is simply annoying. When you log your weight it’s preset to 60kg instead of starting at the previous weight you logged, this is annoying if you have to scroll quite far to reach your current weight and is frustrating when you’re trying to loose weight and getting nowhere because of your condition. There also doesn’t seem to be a way to turn off pregnancy related topics. These may not be issues for everyone or this might just not be the app for me but worth considering if you’re buying a subscription.

Problems with the app? You won’t get ANY help.. Long story short: when the app works, it’s great. When you have technical difficulties? There is no assistance whatsoever. I’ve been waiting 2 months and haven’t had any response back. Customer service is nonexistent. I’ve been using Flo for close to 5 years. Loved it for the most part. I recently upgraded to Flo Premium! The problem? In April 2024, my app out of nowhere was giving me wildly inaccurate results. (Iv have a regular period) I was being told my period would come in the next 86 DAYS. No daily insights anymore. And since then when I log my period, which would come in 15 days not 86, it rectifies itself. Until my period is over. My app tells me currently I’m apparently 75 days out from my next period. I’m on the pill so I know it will be coming in the next 2 weeks. I contacted the app for help in May, and the only response I got was apologising for the late response. Nothing else. Since then, I have emailed them again and again, and still haven’t received a response.

Very Limited. Great for tracking when your next period is coming, I’ve never had an issue with that and always very accurate for me but the fact that what feels like 95% of everything on the app requires the premium subscription makes me want to find something more inclusive for people not willing to pay an overpriced subscription. There’s a very small amount of free information on there unless you have paid for premium which I personally think is overpriced for what you’re getting since majority of the information you can just look up on google instead for $0. I know what I said might sound like it contradicts itself but I just think that is what could be improved in this app. I’ve been using it for a while and there used to be so much free stuff, but it’s very disappointing to see that basically all I can do on there is log when my period is and the symptoms without even finding out SIMPLE information without having to pay for it when the app is specifically for periods, ovulation and pregnancy, but yet you have to go somewhere else to find the info unless willing to pay.

Great but.... I’m 13 I have had my period for about 3 years. now and I was just scrolling through the App Store looking for a good period tracker because all of my ones tell me over a period of 10 days I could have my period within that time frame but the never actually tell me the date it’s due but I saw this and thought it looked decent so I downloaded it and all I gotta say is I love this app you can get accurate predictions and you can leave anonymous comments on chats but I don’t like how you have to pay for premium I feel like you shouldn’t have to pay to learn about your body and there are a lot of things you can read to find out what to do in embarrassing situations but you have to pay for them those could’ve saved me in a lot of situations but I’m not paying for something we have the right to learn about for free I would’ve given this app 5 stars if i didn’t have to pay for most things

Almost perfect. I love almost everything about this app, but there are a few certain features that it lacks so I actually have to use it combined with another app. Ovulation test results should also cater for the digital kind, so that you can log low, high and peak fertility- and then the app should adjust the predications accordingly. And on that note- when logging a peak (or positive for the non digital) ovulation test, basal temperatures should still be taken into consideration with the predictions as OPK can show peak but ovulation can still be 12-36 hours away. I love that I can see the cycle days on the calendar, and my predicted period/ovulation days- makes it easy to look ahead when making plans. I do also wish that when logging a miscarriage, that the app would discount all of those days instead of showing as a super long cycle which just throws out all of the other calculations.

READ THIS IF YOU WANT THIS APP. Now i see that the only way for app creators to get money is to charge $$$. But i dont see why app creators just go to Apple and say can you make this app this much money. I see that its called marketing because i do that for the school i go to but i really just hate hate hate apps like that. It makes you answer all these questions so that artificial intelligence can help you with girl stuff, just so you can go through all that trouble to weigh and measure yourself and then out of nowhere it says ‘ monthly pay’ ‘ yearly pay’ ‘ 3 day trial’. This is everything youll ever want but i never got to experience it my self because my parents said they wont be spending any money on apps. And if you have a ‘ 3 day trial’ option just think that whoever if using it will want to use this app but some people can barely afford phones or technology or housing. I saw a homeless woman in her 30s with 2 kids on the street with a phone without a back on it, an iPhone charger all ripped up plugged into the charger point in the subway with a pack of pads and a tint bag of food. Just think about it. Im just trying to help. If you send back to me developers DONT because i dont like getting into fights at all! No hate towards anybody!!! 🙏🙏❤️❤️

Subscriptions. I’ve been using Flo for a while now and it’s a pretty good app and quite accurate, the one problem I have is the amount of stuff you can’t do without a subscription I get that the app needs to make money but I feel like there is so little that you can do for free, for example the chats with the health assistance, you get half way through and then they ask you to pay for a subscription which isn’t really an option for me, and the annoying thing is I would find those chats really useful if I didn’t have to pay, as well as the insight section, you can’t read any of the things in that section which is another thing I would find useful if I didn’t have to pay. I just find it very inconvenient because I have a lot of things I want to find out and most of the time they have a thing for that but I can’t read it without a subscription. Other than that I think it’s a pretty useful app I just wish they would expand what you can do without a subscription :/

Amazing but please add this update!. Hello, I have been using Flo for about 6 or 7 months now and so far it has been really accurate and very informative to young girls like my self, I have learnt so much not just about periods but about general health and what normal and what’s not. One of my favourite features of the app is how you can share experiences, stories and information anonymously. This may sound weird and TMI but in the days leading up to my period I tend to urinate a lot and I have asked some of my girl friends and even my mum about it and they have also said they have realised it too. I think that excessive urination should be added as a symptom option, I really think it could help women like me. Thanks,

negative connotations. The basis of this app are great, and there are no issues with functionality. There is great access to several resources and features even in free version. I find it very disappointing though that so many of the symptoms and moods you can log carry negative connotations. There are 9 negative emotions to choose from, compared to 2 positive ones. This sets a precedent of periods being negative and heavy things women* have to deal with. True, no one really has a good time during or the few days leading up, but getting notifications like “you’ll probably have a headache today” or “you might feel bloated” is honestly not helping. Many women feel strong, energetic or sexy during other phases of their cycle, which should be equally highlighted as when we’re feeling less so. Why not add things in such as “hey you might feel strong today, try get a PB in whatever you’re doing” or ‘energetic’ ‘confident’ to the mood choices. Let’s lift women* up. *Women or people that menstruate

I like this app. Flo is really useful, I’ve been tracking my periods on it for 4 years now (the app just told me it was our anniversary today, glad she remembered cause I didn’t haha). It been a great way to see approximately when my period is coming and easily log my symptoms to see where patterns arise. There’s also good educational content (less so if you don’t have Flo premium) and a nice little anonymous discussion section suited to your place in life, which is great to read every now and then. The only nitpick I have is that I don’t really like the Flo premium avatars. It doesn’t affect the usefulness of the app at all, but it would be nice to be able to pick the animal separately from the accessory - I want to be a frog but I don’t want a gold chain 😅

Great, but needs bug fixes. This app is seriously a life saver! It’s predictions are incredibly accurate and I haven’t had an issue navigating the app whatsoever. I am able to use the free version and get everything I want from the app. It’s so useful! However, lately it hasn’t been logging my data. Even when using data or wifi, it is not saving any of my logged symptoms or periods. Recently I’ve been taking the pill for my endometriosis, and logging that seems to have thrown off the app, or maybe it’s just a bug, but my past 3 cycles were logged and recorded and were then deleted and the whole app has now reset my predictions. I don’t know when my periods occurred so I can’t edit or fix the mistake. It’s also saying my cycle on average is 15 days when my cycle is usually 23 days long. I don’t know what happened, but I updated it and it’s still bugging out. Thank you for taking the time to look at my review. Although I’m upset by the bug, it’s still the best period app available!

Super useful for tracking. Love this app, although, I would like it if you could still see when you’re ovulating even with contraception reminders. With the pill if you miss one or are sick you’re more likely to get pregnant - and seeing as no contraception is 100% it would still be good to have your main ovulation day lit up on the calendar regardless of contraception reminders. Other than that, I love the reminder feature. Would like a little more options in pregnancy mode as well. None of the data input options change, despite that there’s heaps more stuff going on in pregnancy that can be logged (like morning sickness, spotting, carpel tunnel, restless legs etc). Had to download a different app during my recent pregnancy, which sucked because I prefer flo and don’t enjoy having a tonne of apps around.

they track your info. if i could put 0 stars i would

Not what is used to be. Flo used to be the best period tracking app out there. Now it’s all behind paywalls, there’s ads, and is full of useless information. Don’t waste your time and try out a different tracking app.

Why new version. Why can't I changed the layout of my symptoms anymore? And I can't track my temperature anymore! Bring that back, I just paid for pro and now I need to look into other apps.

So many unnecessary features. It seems good for the main bit of period tracking but the extra stuff of learning how to masturbate, sex courses, Ltgbq courses and all is just too much. Not everyone is into that and it feels like an attack every time I enter that app. It’s ridiculous. If I’ve communicated that I’m not having sex with your million questionnaires, then why am I bombarded with all these information about things that don’t concern me. It’s frustrating. We should have that option to turn off some of the features that don’t apply to us. Then people that are into all that can also enjoy the app as well. I have a full year’s subscription but I’ll be deleting my account and finding an alternative because it’s just to. They seem to be clearly not for my demographic and that’s fine, I’ll take my money to where people respect my values.

UNSAFE. this app is unsafe! They sell your data and with the new US roe overturn, you’re in great danger for abortions and miscarriages if they bring your period cycle to court!!!! pls don’t use

What happened?!. I loved this app up until a few weeks ago when it started spamming my phone like crazy about things that I am not interested in and are somewhat offensive. I have played with the settings to no avail and contact support who told me to turn off the notifications all together. But I do want the ones relevant to me! I’m disappointed to uninstall.

great but we have to pay. great app and i see the idea but we have to pay for the monthly/yearly plan for everything except seeing when your period is. this is very annoying.

The app is good but.... Flo is good app but I find it creepy how it knows when I am late for my period. I don’t tell it anything and somehow it just knows and most of the time it doesn’t even get it on the right days.

Awsome, but I have a request. So this app is awsome! I love it, but I do have a request. So I’m a trans guy (ftm) and I still have my period, so I was just wondering if there could be a secret chat for trans guys? I just think it would be nice to talk to others about this? Anyway great app!🖤

Not for young girls. This app is great for tracking your period but seriously you need to cool it on all the sex talk and masterbation and stuff! There are very young girls that use this app and that should not be the first thing they read about. How about more about the healthy things to eat durning ovulation and periods that would aid hormones?

Whats the big deal?. Honestly i dont really care if facebook knows when im having my period. I dont care if everyone knows im on my period, in fact i would like them too know. So people need to stop freaking out over the fact that our data is going to facebook. This is a great app over all

Pay for everything. I love Flo, and the number one reason I started using it was because of the amount of free articles, advice and everything you could get. Now you have to pay a fee for everything except putting in your symptoms basically. Unfortunately because of this change I will no longer be a Flo user

Used to be perfect now it's annoying crap. I regret that I updated the app. This has been the best app I've used for years with nice reminders when it's time for a period. Now it's a damn annoying thing that sends me notifications every single day! I turned off all reminders except for the start of a period, but I still get those annoying daily notifications. I can't turn them off completely, as the main function for me is a reminder of the upcoming period. The interface has changed to something crazy with a bunch of blocks, hints and other trash information I don't need. Every time I open the app I am asked to buy the premium which I will never buy as there are so many similar apps out there and the way the app has changed will never make me even consider paying for it. I would consider it for the app it used to be, a simple calendar with managed reminders, but not for the piece of crap it has become now. Too bad I'll have to find an alternative to this app, I'll miss the perfect app it used to be.

too much money. too expensive and I want my money back

not like it used to be. i’ve been using flo for almost 6 years now and so many things have changed, and i don’t say that in a good way. nothing is free anymore, you have to pay for everything.

too much begging. out of the hundreds of apps i have. none ask for money/payment more than this one.

Too many notifications. Hey, Love your app. So useful. But can we relax with the notifications? I already turned everything off within the app and I still get one like every other hour about something. I don’t want to turn notifications off completely in settings (I want to be notified if my period is coming ONLY), but your app doesn’t give much choice. Is it possible to get more settings to have more control about that? Other than that, it’s a great app.

Gender neutral options. This app is amazing and helped me a lot with my period and stuff, but sometimes the way it addresses me bothers me. I’m non-binary and i would prefer if the app used my preferred pronouns they/them. it just makes me uncomfortable when people call me a girl or she. there’s also a lot of trans men on the app that are trying to track their periods but are being called girls too. i would like it if there was a setting so we can choose our gender or pronouns that we want the app to use.

Use a different app. It used to be really good and informative but now it just wants you to upgrade to give any information. Not worth it! There’s a thing called google which is free.

Don’t bother unless you’re willing to pay. Honestly Flo used to be good but now it’s garbage. You can’t access anything without paying for premium. Not even the “health insights” that used to be free. They went from being a great source of information and period tracking to being a money grab. You could say the whole community aspect makes up for it but that has way more to do with the users than the app. The app seems to want to start divisive conversations and often asks really outdated and sexist questions. Seriously thinking of deleting it.

Offensive insights. The features of this app are good, and I like the functionality and interface. After using it for 3 months, it’s quite accurate. However, I find some of the “insights” to be offensive. Recent insights I’ve received include a post about making sure your vagina smells good, and a survey asking about “homosexual” sex. It’s clear that this app is not designed or maintained by women. I’ll be switching to a different app.

I like it... but.... I like the app cause I can keep track of my moods cycles and more But recently whenever I’ve tried edit my period dates, it kicks me out of the app all together and I kind of rely on that function a lot, so I think I’ll start looking for another app to use...

Sharing data with Facebook. Flo shared private data with Facebook. Not the way to go.

I don’t know. Coming from a teen girl, this app isn’t necessarily bad. It’s ok with being on time with when I get my period and stuff. The only thing is, I don’t like that you have to pay to learn more about YOUR body. Why can’t everyone have access to learning what is happening to themselves? I get that this app needs a way to make money or whatever but I feel like it’s wrong that I can’t know more about what’s happening…

NOT FREE - You need to pay to use. You need to pay to use. Makes you respond to a 10min questionnaire before informing you of the paying plans. No free plan. Just 14 days trial. Do women not pay enough to live already?! Disappointed

Limited info. As a partner in Flo I don’t have much info. The information is very limited and not very in depth. Compared to the female Flo version is very educational and in-depth topics about lots of useful information. Hate towards men 😤👎🏿 it seems

Useless app. I downloaded this app to track my period, and now using it to track my pregnancy. Now that I’ve switched over to tracking my pregnancy, the only thing I can see on the app is how far along I am. Everything else I have to pay for. I already know how far along I am! I want the fun stuff that’s advertised as free with the app! If I could give this negative stars I would.

😡. Hey you, so I’m on my period and I don’t have a women in my life, so you make me pay alllll this money TO GET HELP FOR SOMETHING I CANT CONTROL, I NEED HELP!!!!!! My mum died and I don’t have anybody MAKE IT FREE OH MY GOSH

Glitches with time change. The app is ok, my main issue is that if you travel and there is any type of time change, it shifts all your data by one day. I travel often so none of my historical period data or upcoming predictions are accurate. Defeats the entire purpose of having this app. Cancelled my subscription.

Pretty good. It’s a great app, it lets you track your feelings, your weight, symptoms etc. Also, it’s quite accurate and it lets you log any day as your period if it does come unexpectedly. The only problem I have is when you add your age, you must be 13 or older to log your period. And it irritates me as I’m 11 and many girls my age and even younger get their period at such a young age. Anyways, overall this app is great for tracking your periods and cycle. Goodbye now.

Suddenly they’ve made free features paid ones?. It was never like this. Now I can’t even log my symptoms or view the daily report WHICH WAS ALL FREE before. Constantly shoving “87% off premium!” I had to cross off it every time. Didn’t bother me. Now it does with having taken the basic stuff away. Screw that. There are other apps out there. Disappointed

Helpful. Excellent

Track pregnancy. I used to LOVE this app for tracking my pregnancy. But needing to pay to see my babies size and what’s new that week? Seriously? It was free before why do I need to pay now? Don’t market the app as free when it clearly isn’t anymore, we need to pay to use any feature and I’m sick of it!

Was super good until the premium happened. I feel like its the best app but the premium thing is so annoying specially when you’re in the middle of reading something and then you cant continue cuz you have to pay for premium to continue it.

Paywall. This used to be an amazing app, but now the only function you can use is logging your period/tracking it. Everything else with reading about your specific symptoms etc are behind a subscription. It’s like any other app now. Even the already written articles it tells you to swipe up on cost money. If you’re a student and don’t wanna spend money then forget about getting to use anything on here

y’all are getting greedy. I’ve had flow for years, the design is great, rarely bugs, very intuitive, does exactly what it says it does… until the last few months. tale as old as time: a functional app decides to slowly monetize every element of that functionality until one day you wake up and poof: everything is locked unless you start paying monthly. what is left now is the functional equivalent of just the calendar app for recording when your periods start and stop. i get that you guys need to make money but I wish you would learn when to stop

Used to be a great app. This app is nothing more than a calendar now. Any questions, insights, or education is behind a pay wall. Complete money grab at the expense of women’s health.

Good app but I’m not paying so stop asking. Stop asking every single time I open the app if I want a subscription. I will not do it. This is obnoxious

Belle application mais... La Fonction graphique n’est pas suffisante.. il n’y a rien pour visualiser sa température, etc.

Can’t log symptoms for free anymore. I just tried to log my daily symptoms and was outraged to see that it’s no longer available without paying for the app… how am I supposed to get accurate calculations if I can’t even log my spotting or other symptoms? This is pure greed and makes me not want to use the app. You already sold our information to third parties after promising you wouldn’t and not this. Shame on you!

.... It use to be a great app...until they updated it and you have to literally pay for everything. It’s very pricey as well. Imagine being young and just wanting to get some insight on your body, and people are trying to make profit off of that...that’s shady. I honestly do not recommend this app.

Age restriction. I really like this app but I do have one complain. So I’m over 18 right? But I got on my period at 10, and so many people get on their period younger than that, so I really don’t get the age restriction being over 12, yes they’re young, but young people are actually the people who are the one who need period trackers the most, it’s really not a big deal but I don’t know, I just really don’t get the age restriction for periods when it just depends the person. We shouldn’t block period trackers for younger people who probably are probably the one who are having problem with period tracking the most.

bye bye. nearly five years and i’m tired of the bombardment of the subscription i can even access the app for the intended purpose with being annoyed, people in close proximity to me that use flo agree, im making the change now to a different app, thank you for serving me while you could.. until you got annoying and a bit greedy..

Not trans inclusive. Needs to be people with periods not women as nonbinary people and trans men also have periods and can elect to get pregnant

Disappointed. When I came off birth control to start trying to have my son, I just needed an easy spot to track my period. While there were some other bells and whistles that were interesting, that was really all I ever used it for. Now a couple of years later, it’s essentially unusable for that purposes without paying for a subscription. All I want to do is enter my period dates, and I have to watch/click through ads (multiple) to do that? It’s way out of hand.

tampon tracker. would be nice to have the option to put in the time of your last tampon change so people like me who often forget can have that

DELETE THIS APP. this app sells ur data and can know when ur pregnant and can see if you’ve gotten an illegal abortion in the usa and other places so they can put you in jail, this is absolutely disgusting not just that ABORTION IS ILLEGAL also that old men are deciding what’s best for OUR BODYS NOT THEIRS, OURS. We are moving back in time, not forward, MY BODY MY CHOICE

Less and less available. Used to be an incredible app. I’ve had it since 2018 and had so much great information, through pregnancy too. But now you have to pay for everything, even to see if I’m ovulating or not (every time I open the app I lose more ‘free’ information). It’s getting a little ridiculous. Yes, they offer sales and I understand it costs money to run with researched articles etc. but it’s silly now. Super disappointed.

PINK TAX, NOT FREE. Having a period is extremely expensive, and Flo thinks it should cost you an extra $10 a month to track it.

$$$$. paywalls are stupid no i don't want to pay for premium in just tracking my period

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Latest Update HORRIBLE. I have been a lover of the Flo app for years now (nearly a decade!) and I’m really VERY disappointed in the latest app update. Flo used to be a straightforward, simple way to track my health. Now it’s GO TO PREMIUM, ads, banners, DID YOU SIGN UP FOR PREMIUM??? bizarre articles, chats I guess??, 87% off premium!!, every time I open it, multiple times. It’s frustrating to suddenly be unable to see basic information due to all the clutter. I’m now asking myself how I could possibly migrate this much data into a more straightforward, simplified, calmer app. BECAUSE SERIOUSLY, on my period, I don’t want to be harassed. I don’t want to be confused. I don’t want to be sold. Even the idea of an ongoing subscription instead of a single-time purchase feels like a low-key way to continually ratchet the price & pull more money from me. Apparently I have to pay an even bigger price for my female health. When states are working to ban things like the pink tax, this feels like bad form. I’d even be willing to pay a single purchase price *IF* Flo promised that classic, simplified interface… even if I hate the idea on principal. I understand the need to support the developers. But here’s an idea—maybe your app didn’t need all of the bells & whistles you thought were necessary. MAYBE simple, aesthetic information was your sweet spot. I suspect the new business model isn’t geared for that. Total shame.

Women deserve better. I liked the app for what it’s worth, tracking periods and mood swings ect, But I can do that with any other run of the mill app, I’m getting more and more irritated every day with this app, almost the entirety of every feature in this app being on your premium subscription, and you doing virtually everything in your power to make free users go premium. It’s turning into a money grab, honestly if the app was as good as they claim they wouldn’t be doing this to people by telling them “symptoms need checked” only to lead them on into clicking an article or questionnaire just to get the premium subscription page OVER AND OVER. People who need all of this information and insight into their bodies and minds can’t access it without paying which is ridiculous. I don’t know exactly how many things they moved to premium recently but if they move anything else I just might not be interested in the app anymore. I know I’m gonna get the same written response from the developers, “I’m sorry to hear you’re disappointed that some features aren’t on the free version but…” which is gonna slightly irritate me even more, But come on, it isn’t just SOME FEATURES and THAT IS NO EXCUSE! DO BETTER FLO APP DEVELOPERS! Act like you actually care about EVERY woman and their mental health/physical health and not just money money money, genuinely help the ones who can’t afford it. There’s virtually nothing I can look at, wether it be tips or signs and symptoms of serious things. I’m tired of constantly being taken to the premium offer page, it’s upsetting especially since this feedback probably will be ignored and buried if it’s even looked at seriously. 😤😑

Switching to another app. Used Flo for several years now. There’s a few things that majorly bug me about this app and I decided to just deal with it but I can’t anymore. The biggest one for me is that there’s no way to turn off the daily insight notifications without also turning off other notifications I actually want like the one I have as a reminder that my period is coming in a few days and my ovulation reminder. On top of that the daily insight thing has very detailed and descriptive notifications like about discharge, sex, tender breasts and so on. So if you have your phone sitting out in in view of anyone else it would be super embarrassing if anyone got a view of that - I think about my 10 year old niece who is nosy and loves to look at my phone. They also come at different times every day and sometimes there’s more than one a day. So I can’t even watch my phone at say 10:00 every day to swipe off the notification. You can make the notifications just be a temporary banner or without the preview of the message but then I’ll miss the notifications I actually want or have to click on it to read if it’s my period reminder or a daily insight. I contacted them once to ask how I could turn those notifications off but keep my period reminder and they said there’s no way to do that. So that shows me its terrible app development to not give your users that kind of control. I bet you a lot of people don’t want that annoying daily insight notification. Then there’s the pop up ads for their premium service that they bug you about every time you get on there and a bunch more pop up stuff on there about insights and symptoms. I’m sure it’s helpful to some but there’s almost too many features in this app.

2+ Year User and still Loving it !. I have been using this app for awhile now and have been very dedicated to tracking my body's cycle. With this app I avoided pregnancy successfully for 2 years without hormonal birth control by working around my fertility rhythm using the information Flo provided. The longer you use it, the more accurate it it becomes. I think it is essential to track our menstruation. Apps like these can be life changing for women; Reproductive knowledge is empowerment for women. I always enjoy the updates and community sections. Tried other period trackers but I always just come back to Flo because I enjoy the aesthetically pleasing interface and ease of use. This is an app that gets better with time. Only until recently have I desired more; after giving birth I'm breastfeeding of course, and that can often cause you to go a while without a period. I wish there was a way to log this information as I await to have my cycle again, in a similar manner to flipping a switch for the pregnancy mode. When you look at past data, pregnancy shows up as yellow days in your year calendar. Just a thought. Could continue to aid in accurate predictions if this info was considered.

LOVE but read before downloading.. This is an amazing app, on the first day of high school I bleed through my jeans and said never again, and decided to get a tracking app so that I could better see when that day would come, and this app helped TREMENDOUSLY. I love it, it’s pretty accurate, it gives you a lot of cool information and ideas when it comes to your own body and what’s happening to us during this time period. And often, little chats will pop up where the robot will “talk” to you and tell you more about what’s going on with YOUR body. And I feel like this app is very personal and that’s why I love it. With that being said, I don’t pay for premium and I don’t think I ever will but I can see that paying for premium has a lot of benefits! Like better tips, articles you can read, all kinds of things. And I also think the app does ask me to upgrade a lot but a simple click of the X button and it’s gone, no big deal to me. Long story short, great app, recommend getting, especially if you’re going to pay for premium, but I can see myself shopping around for a different, better tracker soon.

New update ruined it... There should really be a way to turn off virtual assist and my daily insights. Some of us came to this app because it was clean and simple, all these new updates and features are ruining that. It’s getting more and more intrusive and cluttered with every update. I don’t need or want all this crap on my screen. If I could toggle it off it’d be great but they give you no options, just shove all this stuff in your face. Why can’t anything be simple? Why do we need advanced AI and health stories on the front page? We don’t! Just a simple app that tracks and predicts our cycles and does it well. Please get rid off all this extra junk or at least give those of us who don’t want it a way to toggle it off. I hate this app now and will be finding a new one. To the developers- please don’t ask me to contact you for a solution. It seems to be your canned answer to every negative review and I will not be contacting you. If there is a solution to this issue or you have future plans to fix this issue, please just let me know here so the whole community can see it too. Nothing is going to be fixed in this situation by me contacting you. You used to have amazing customer service and really care about your users needs. Not anymore, there hasn’t been a genuine reply to any users feedback in a long time. This use to be a great app with caring devs behind it, but I can’t say that is true anymore sadly. Zero stars.

I said no once, I dont know why you keep trying to force me. I just want to track my cycle. That’s it. I have bad memory and I need to be able to show a doctor when my last period was so I use this app. I don’t want to pay for the premium version. I have no use need or desire for paying for a premium version of an app that can be (and might be soon) completely replaced by my calendar. Why do you force me to click “no” up to 4 times just so I can see the apps interface? Every time I open Flo I am able to start doing what I need before I’m quickly halted and held captive in an animation that takes forever to load telling me how good of a deal it is if I just give them my money. I can’t even exit from there, I have to click the “show me the options” button because there is NO way to get around it. And then after I finally get away from that, there’s the little “assistant” giving me information I never asked for and not allowing me to use the app until I exit out of the second pop up window all within 20seconds I’ve opened it. It’s annoying. It’s predatory. It’s not adding anything to the user experience outside of frustration. Is it mild frustration? Yes but frustrating nonetheless. I said no. Respect that no. Allow me to turn off the constant brigade of “BUY ME PLEASE BUY ME OH MY GOD PLEASE IM BEGGING PLEASE BUY ME”

Based on my satisfaction I gave 1 star .. I’ve used this app since i was in highschool , around when it was first developed .. I was actually soo excited ! Bc there was an app specifically for me , that informed me of the different things my body was going through during puberty nd , EVERYTHING was free .. I used this app to track my first pregnancy , everything was free ! Fast forward to my third pregnancy … everything is available for premium users only . I can’t even look at the second trimester warning signs , can’t view any information about baby , and I can’t view any information about the changes my body is going through without upgrading ..! As a woman I’m upset that we are continually seen as a marketing experience … Like , this should be free ! We already have to buy menstrual material and some of us have to buy more than most . Along with the cost of children , some of us are single parents… and even when there’s a 2 parent household , people are still barely getting by … I think this is honestly outrageous . Like , when does it end ? 😂 I’ll be deleting the app , and hopefully I find a better alternative , but probs not bc this is like the Midas of the tracking apps … smh … it was a vibe while it lasted flo ! But , I’m gonna have to let you go … the app is literally serving 0 purpose in my life other than telling me my baby has now reached the size of a mango ! Lols .

This app grosses me out with insinuations:(. I used once to track my period and help me with New Year’s resolutions planning and second time I signed in, already asked me to sign up for a free 14-day trial which they know I’ll probably forget or not know how to cancel and the calculations are incorrect because I logged in two months of periods my first time in it, it’s saying I’ve been bleeding for 59 days, which would make me dead today but I’ve wanted to press end period for the last 3-5 days and it’s not letting me, just wants more payment or free trial information and it also said they don’t have enough doctors or scientific expertise in this field so maybe my resolutions were too ambitious or dangerous or contradictory but they discourage resolutions in different areas of personal development and I’ll probably need to delete app if I don’t want to be further grossed out by them with the possible stds possible when I’m abstinent and celibate, I don’t see how this app could ever help me with my generalized anxiety disorder but I’ll try to look for the 5 star reviews if I’m ever interested in restating or giving this journal another chance but I’m private and old fashioned so I’ll probably continue with the paper flow tracking since they lost my last two months of period tracking and are incapable of doing accurate math:( would never recommend these to the younger females I might need to help in the future and probably recommend them a journal or diary instead since they both cost money, but a permanent subscription is outta the question and would be unaffordable for most…

STOP BEING PUSHY. I had used this app for years until I got the Mirena and stopped having a period, then I took it out and got pregnant some time after. After about a year and half I tried to use this app again. I hate logging in, because it forces me to click on the “log my symptoms” as soon as I log in. Well, what if I don’t want to log any symptoms today?! After they force me to do that, they force me to click on their go premium button. I DON’T WANT A PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION! So stop trying to force it down my throat. I’m about to look for a different option for a period tracking app or I’m about to track my period on my own personal calendar. My cycle is regular so it wouldn’t be hard. I don’t mind that you’ve moved the informational part of your app to paid. I get you guys are trying to run a business and make some money. However, the only real thing I want from a period tracker is, wait for it….. TO TRACK MY PERIOD! I delete “fun” gaming apps if I have to put up with ads constantly. Look, if you had a one time payment that I don’t have to deal with your ads anymore that was say 99¢-$2 I’d probably buy it or if your subscription was cheaper I might consider subscribing. I really don’t think I would use your paid services enough to justify $9.99 a month, especially when I can do quick google searches or read a freaking book about my body.

Amazing App!!. I really love Flo, i think it’s very fun. I just started my period for the second time ever and i think the app is really helpful so far. It gives me what feels like a social media experience because the only other media i have is Pinterest, except everyone’s profile is secret. i love how Flo keeps track of when your period starts and will end and when the next one will be. it reminds you to log your period of you’ve forgotten. I do have a few little complaints though. I don’t like the premium feature. I feel like all of it should be free. I do understand that the Flo team does need to make money somehow and i respect that, but i feel like for a health app, a Premium feature shouldn’t be needed. I’d also like to point out that Flo should be more gender neutral. There are some transmasc boys on there that still have vaginas and talking about “hey GIRL, what’s up with your FEMININE care? your VAGINA problems? well, thanks for letting me know queen, slay!” Stuff like this probably makes transmasc boys or just gender fluid/non-binary people feel irrelevant or bad. But other than that, i think it’s a really great app that you should totally use!!

Absolutely love, but am a broke college student :/. I’ve had this app for a few years now and can honestly say I love it. It’s helped me with so much, including with figuring out how my medications affected me, where before I was so confused with what was going on. Watching this app evolve has been so cool, and I used to have a subscription in the earlier days, which was super handy. I also just tried the free trial of the newest premium version, which is absolutely amazing, and provided me with so much information that I actually feel somewhat educated on my body and how it works. I am a newfound broke college student and am bummed I don’t have the funds to pay for it right now (which I believe is an essential part to keeping this app running, because though we should have the right to free access about the health of our own bodies, I know I can trust this app based on the knowledge that hundreds of hours of work have been put into this by real doctors, instead of finding less trustworthy and sometimes misleading information floating around the internet). I will continue to be loyal to this app and will also hopefully soon be able to take advantage of the healthcare advice again!

So Incredibly helpful, but not enough. I have been using Flo since I was 11 years old in 7th grade. As a middle school girl who, like every other girl who got their first period, i didn’t know what to expect. Flo was incredibly helpful with mapping my cycle and figuring out my symptoms and it made it super comforting knowing that there were so many other girls going through the same thing. I loved reading the stories and the daily insights because they helped me understand more about my cycle and flow and what to expect. Unfortunately, and very disappointingly, there is now a Premium Plan where you have to pay to access most of the more helpful features of the app. I understand that it might be some women's choice to pay for this app, however, there a millions of 10+ year old girls who are not willing to pay for the app and therefore, they don’t have access to the stories that help them realize they are not alone, or to the Flo Help Assistant and Daily Insights because it always cuts off right as they are about to explain why they are feeling one of their symptoms and how to possibly help with it. I adore this app immensely, but i feel it isn’t fair to the girls who are figuring out their cycle and could use the help- that this app used to provide for free- that they are not getting.

It’s just upsetting.. I’ve used this app for awhileeeee now, & I even used the pregnancy version of it when I was pregnant with my son. After the update, subscription became necessary or you’d be locked out of all the vital information (pretty much the main reason that people download the app). I reluctantly paid for the subscription every month for awhile, but then I had a miscarriage abt 2 months ago & I deleted the app because it kept sending me notifications to “take a test” because my “period was late”, not realizing I had a miscarriage. I was going thru a lot emotionally & the app just brought me back to that bad time. Recently, me & my fiancé have started trying again for our baby..so, I figured I’d redownload the app & start at least tracking my period & ovulation(which is free, no subscription needed). I just tried to redownload the app & it’s literally locking me out unless I pay the subscription. It’s completely refusing me downloading it unless I pay the subscription again. What the heck? I don’t understand how it shows “FREE” but it’s trying to charge me $10 for the subscription first. Like I said, I haven’t used the app for awhile & I even checked my subscription list to see if it was just auto paying or something but no. I don’t think that’s fair…& in other cases, some people don’t have the money to cough up- allow those who are less fortunate to use the BASIC features. Idk if it’s just a bug or a glitch in the system but I’m wholeheartedly upset! I actually don’t want to use any other app because I am so used to the set up & community of Flo. SOS!!!

Too much. I started using Flo years ago because of its design and simplicity. I just wanted to track my cycle for dates because I hate trying to remember when to buy supples and for tracking symptoms against some other health issues I have to see if there was any correlation. It was great. I could tap it in and done. Now, in addition to the premium subscription there are so many options on the screen, articles constantly popping up, the help center chat, promotions, it’s just annoying. I see the value for many users for this content, but it’s like walking through a gauntlet of ads to get to where you need to go. Busy, distracting. I miss the simple, clean interface, and the symptoms logging page with the picture icons that was fast and easy to use. I’ve started looking for another option, but then my data will be lost. So I’m not sure what I’m going to do yet. Also, I have been reading through the reviews and it looks like the price point is affecting the ability for many young people who have their periods under 18 to access valuable information that they may not otherwise have. Perhaps there’s an age gate where some basic health content is free to users under 18 that might currently fall under the premium plan. Something to consider. Same for some of the chat stuff.

Money Grab. I’ve been using flow for about 2 years now. I love love love the app and it’s almost always been right on point for tracking my period. BUT they have JUST made an update that literally to see or do anything rather than tracking your period costs MONEY!??? Like…. I’ve been able to see my “chances of getting pregnant today” and the “your symptoms today” for years and then all the sudden, it’s all “annual subscription.” I would think this app already makes enough money but I guess not to now charge for everything. It’s quite frankly annoying. I used to be able to click on the day and it would have a little bubble saying my chances of getting pregnant and likely symptoms i’m having that day, but now it’s just a plain old calendar, no day bubble or anything else. Money grab. money grab. money grab. Quite annoyed at the moment and this app would remain a 5 star app if they removed this new update and we could see our days again with the big bubble seeing our symptoms and chances of getting preggo each day. Please and thank you. P.S. go back to the original form you’ve had for the past 2 years. This new “chance of getting pregnant ‘click to see then pay me money’ “ and the “you’re likely symptoms today ‘click to see and pay me money’ “ Is not cute. Original form is 1000x better. go back.

Strange Membership. Just delete it, guys. As one of the other reviews shared, Flo is great and accurate in predicting periods. It allows you to log many variables that could affect your period and offers a small online chat where you can discuss womanly functions and struggles. Those features are cool. However, the strange part comes when you try to read up or chat about your symptoms through Flo's personalized "Insights" tab only to get a pop-up asking you to get Premium. I understand the importance of memberships in lifestyle apps like this, but the frusturation really starts to build when you realize the features that looked free and accessible at first end up being buried behind a paywall. As another review mentioned, it comes out really wrong when an app gatekeeps important things about women's bodies behind expensive subscriptions, even though it claims to want to help educate about us. On top of that, some of the subjects would just take some digging on Healthline and aren't even that exclusive. I like the bare features so far, but the hidden popups that only appear once you get your hopes up are annoying. I got this app because of concerns about endometriosis and to get more comfortable with my private part. Didn't help much.

Not Alone. Before, I would always keep the details of my sex life, menstrual cycle, and other feminine problems to myself. After Flo, I feel so much more secure and content with all of the aforementioned issues. The app is well-designed and visually pleasing, as well as easy to use and practical in those uses. Not only can you track your period with Flo, you can also access a community page to share stories, take surveys, and read articles. The period tracker itself is very accurate for me and is usually always on point. The period tracker also gives you the details on your ovulation cycle and such, which gives me a sense of security and preparedness. While I don’t use this feature of the app, there is also a pregnancy mode which can track your pregnancy’s phases and tell you about said phases. I’ve come to love the app and it quite honestly bests all of the other period tracker apps I’ve tried. Flo is great for any woman who loves planning and organization, or any girl looking for advice on her first experiences. The community is accepting and welcoming, and all shared stories are anonymous for those who want to vent. Overall, a wholesome app with a feel-good vibe. Definitely a keeper for me.

Just good. I was looking for an app that could remind me about using my birth control that had more options than just the pill (I am on the ring) and also allowed me to track my period and symptoms. It was good at first and you can see your symptom trends which is cool, but the insights are bad. You cant view any of them all the way through and they are worded in ways that make it seem like your body isnt normal. Also the health 'assistant' has bad prompts too. Whenever I log discharge the health assistant pops up with a prompt that makes it seem like it is unusual to have discharge. When I log a low mood it pops up with 'lets talk about it' but after a bit of dialogue asking if you want to take an emotion questionare it goes 'by the way this is premium only'. Back to the insights, I was only able to view them all the way through on my first day using the app after that you cant view any of them all the way through. I just got a notification saying 'you logged cramps, lets figure out the cause' the cause is that I am about to start my period. You can view a couple images on the insight and some actually seem like they would be helpful but unfortunately you have to pay to learn about your own health. I wouldnt mind if only some insights had to be paid for, like let everyone view the insights related to the symptoms they logged and make all the extra stuff premium maybe. I just want to learn about my health. Other than premium issues it works well to notify you when you use your birth control while also tracking your period and symptoms. I have found other apps that wouldnt track your period and birth control and it was fustrating to have so many apps.

lame.. i’ve used this app for years but this morning it wanted to make a 40$ purchase. for premium. i have no clue how this app even acquired my card info. and now i have to get a new card since my bank thought i was hacked. deleting don’t care to track periods that much. it was fine up until it wasn’t. in response to the developer comment, no i will not install the app to talk with you privately. my bank called me on friday at 08:33 telling me fraud was detected. therefore i Had to cancel my card. i do no support subscriptions. that’s why my card detected fraud. you attempted to charge my apple account for 40.$ and my bank knows my spending habits. so unless i can buy subscriptions in my sleep, there is no way possible i consented to the charge. in addition, after every purchase (including free app installs) i get an email notification, when you charged my account for 40$, i had no email. another reason i know it was not me. i have no email proof of purchase. i’ve had flo for years. but never again. i’ll go old school with dots on the caleneder thanks to your charades. and also i do not consent with biometrics so you’d have to type in a lengthy password to accept any purchase on my devices. that’s how i know it was not me. own up to your mistakes. ik im not the only one this has happened to.

Starting to deteriorate. The app was great a few years ago because all the information that I received from my stats were really useful. However, recently there has been a premium version added to the app (a little pricey for me) and you can’t get away from their ads. Now, when you open the app you have to wait 3 seconds to close their own ads, not ads from other companies, Flo ads. It’s starting to feel like a cookie clicker game where you have to watch their ads to use the app. Also, now when I receive my stats, I have to go through this virtual assistant where I punch in pre-made answers and it seems a bit redundant to me (and at the end they suggest you pay for premium). I have recently switched to the Apple version of Flo in the health app because it has a lot of the same features but you don’t have to be bombarded by their suggestion to pay for a premium version. Really disappointed that the app got to this point because I used to always suggest that my friends use the app, but not anymore. I might be more interested in getting premium but $50 a year or $10 for a month seems a little pricey for something I only really spend about 5 minutes a day on every few days and I worry the premium version might not get me away from more ads to come from Flo.

Developers- please read. The concept of the app is great actually! But what makes me upset and I feel a lot of other women is how you have to pay for simple tips to help you. If you are a teen or younger girl who is new to menstrual cycles, and you download this app to actually help you, you have to pay a pretty decent amount after adding all the money you’ve given to this app. Not to mention some people don’t have that extra money. You literally have to pay to learn on tampons, menstrual cups, and other basic things a young woman should know about herself. Also, if you started your period younger than most like me, you’re not going to want to tell your mom, or guardian “hey can you please pay for this app to help me track my cycle and teach me?” Its humiliating to MOST kids. Especially when a lot of parents don’t have “ the period talk” as they find it “inappropriate/ disgusting “ or it’s to akward to talk about. I understand “you have to make money” but maybe adds at least? Yes, there are many people that teach about this on social media platforms, but some kids aren’t allowed to have access to those types of apps. Overall, great concept of an app, but if you see this, please try to reconsider the fees and other requirements to have the app and actually be able to learn and get help. Thank you- a 12 yr old girl who started at 9/10.

Crazy accurate and reliable information. I’m absolutely hands down obsessed with this app it’s always been to spot on with my period every single and my symptoms though I did have a subscription but just recently switched over to track pregnancy for first time and it’s been wonderful to find out about my body and my baby’s growing process it’s just helpful overall and the reminder to drink water has also helped me the only thing I really do like the secret chats feature a lot it’s just I wish there was a more personalized way to friend request other ladies and moms to be on there and privately chat with one another and even have group chats maybe and give more options to be able to upload photos so we could share with other moms our ultrasound and just share and support each other I’ve never came across an app like this one and I don’t think any other app could possibly beat it and I’d put money on that because even at the pregnancy clinic i went to a nurse there said “everyone uses Flo” as speaking for the ladies of course so I think every female could get a great use of this app like I do without judgment from other ladies that’s all

Love! But hate the premium pay.. This app is extremely helpful tracking periods, seeing what stages your at, realizing more about the stages and how your affected by them, reminders for birth control, and the secret chats. I’ve learned a lot about my period lengths and the way the different stages have an impact on my physical and mental health. The secret chats are so helpful and sweet, it feels like a safe girl area to talk about things and relate to others. It’s helpful hearing how other women feel dealing with similar things or teaching each other things. The one problem I have with the app is having to pay to get premium. I get that they want more money, but I think women go through so much as is and having such a fantastic app but having to pay to learn more about your body is stupid. The even stupider part is how you can google the things they can teach, it would just be significantly more convenient to be able to learn about my own body without having to search on a million websites or paying. I wouldn’t mind paying besides the fact that I’m a teen with no way to get a job yet and even if I had the money I have no cards or way to pay for it online. Women to women, please change the premium pay and make it free.

Close to great, but missing the mark for me. I was very excited about downloading Flo to take more ownership over my cycle & gain resources / insights regarding my intimate health. However as soon as I tapped over into the “secret chat” feature, I found an overwhelming presence of ideological (predominantly Christian) conversations. I know that spirituality and sex lives can be tightly connected, however as someone who doesn’t identify with organized religion, it felt like I’d just arrived to the wrong brunch party. This also immediately made me skeptical of the information being shared within the app. I’m a VERY strong believer in comprehensive sex education, which is commonly seen as being at odds with Christianity in this country—is this app actually balancing science and religion? After looking at their extensive board of medical professionals, I’d like to believe so but I’m still highly skeptical. This is where I also learned that the app was founded by two men (tech entrepreneurs), who (let’s face itttt) probably only care about women’s health in so far as $$$. All in all I wish I hadn’t paid for this app and had opted for a free alternative, as I don’t think the secret chat feature will be useful to me and I have skepticism issues regarding their approach to science / commitment to women’s well-being. The UI is beautiful, I’ll give it that.

I use it everyday. I just got this app yesterday and already love it. It’s so easy to use and very informative. Setting up your period (or pregnancy) might be a little confusing at first but once that’s done, you’re fine. I love how precise they try to be and get to know you with surveys (they’re optional). I also love how they give you all different articles to read about (romance, hygiene, body, clothing, exercise, etc.). You also get to chat anonymously with other women and girls - we really help each other out. I could write so much more but don’t want to take up too much time😂. I tried other apps and like this one the best - I would definitely recommend it!! I just finished my period so I don’t know how accurate this will be but based on my calendar at home, it’s right on track. This is the app to use! No app will be perfect, but this is the way to go - i can’t even say how much I love it (weird to be saying about a period app haha!) I’ll update my review once I’ve gotten my next period to see how accurate they are. One thing I don’t like is that they limit how many words/how long your comment can be which gets very annoying so if they can change that, it’d make the app even better.

Here is my honest review. I really like this app when it comes to keeping track of my period. I do have irregular periods because of my PCOS. I like that it has Q&A's and also other ladies talking about their daily struggles; it makes me feel like I'm not alone. I understand that PCOS isn't something that you can simply predict for your periods or even tell if you are ovulating or not. My problem is that you can check off that you have taken a pregnancy test and it came back negative, but I don't understand why this app keeps sending messages that it looks like it's time for a pregnancy test, even after I have checked off negative for an entire week. I know I can easily turn off my notifications, but I can't turn it off in the app, unless you can and I just don't know how to! Also, I really wish there was an option where you can click that you do have PCOS, and the app would understand that irregular periods may happen, but it doesn't even give me that option when we have our "conversations with the app." Like I said, I know that it's not everyone's problem and this app works superbly well with ladies that don't have this problem, but this is my honest review.

I love this app but….. I love this app, I’ve had it for years but some certain things I can go without. Like the obsessive pop ups to purchase the subscription for the app. I would understand if it were here and there… but it’s every time I sign on to the app. And you can’t just exit out like you normally should something annoying like that. It offers you the “special deal of a lifetime”, you have to click “continue” before you can ever click “cancel” and it’s so annoying. Please make these happen less and less. If I wanted to pay money and subscribe to the app, I would. And I have before. But there’s nothing in the purchased portion of the app that benefits me more than the free version does. Also, I’m sick and tired of logging my happenings of the day, and the little pop up always asks “I see this happened, would you like to talk about it?” How is this beneficial to the free version of the app? If you click on it and start chatting with the assistant, it eventually asks you to pay for the subscription before you can get any information. So in now way is it beneficial for the free user and should be either taken out or should happen less frequently, because it’s quite annoying when it pops up so much.

Non-inclusive. I am torn. I would like to switch to a new app, but that would mean starting over. This app already has months and months worth of data, so I will likely not be switching. But I dislike that this app is largely not inclusive. It uses only female pronouns and feminine features, assuming that the user is a cisgender woman. And much of the “insights” given seem to assume that the user is also heterosexual, with the only mentions of same-sex attraction seeming somewhat taboo or othering. This doesn’t seem intentional, but still I think more effort could be made to make Flo a more inclusive app, helpful and educational to more people than just those who are cisgender and straight. Another feature of this app that has been bothering me is how, when I hide an insight, the app tells me it will not show me insights like it again. Yet, I am constantly seeing insights similar to the ones I’ve hidden in the past. I try to ignore them and keep hiding the ones I don’t want to see, but it’s getting pretty bothersome at this point. Other than these downsides, I do like the many options for logging one’s mood, symptoms, and other things for every day. EDIT: I have looked more into this app and realized that I don’t want anything to do with it after learning that sensitive information was once given to FaceBook. And on top of this, I highly doubt that the makers of Flo will do anything to make the app more inclusive in the future, as much as I wish they would. Looks like I’ll be finding a new period tracking app.

Would give zero stars if I could. Straight up pink tax. Used to love it. Not I hate it.. This used to be a fantastic app, but with the leaking of personal information and now the CONSTANT pop ups to pay for a subscription, even when you just want to open it to check your cycle calendar, you have to go through hoops and pop ups asking for a subscription. It’s annoying and frustrating especially since it was originally listed as one of the best free apps because “your information is secure” and the “ease of use.” I honestly would give it less than a star if I could because of the bait and switch of the whole thing. Literally anything you do in it anymore is “Oh let me help you with that symptom, here’s an insight! “ you click and it’s a pay wall asking that we pay every single month. I don’t care if they’re running a deal so that it only costs $2 instead of the $5 it normally costs a month, knowing the bait and switch they’ve done in the past I don’t trust that it wouldn’t stay at that cost and once it’s on my card they’ll just bump it up like every other monthly service does. Women are already pink taxed enough and have to spend money ever month for pads tampon’s or whatever other expensive thing just not to bleed everywhere, we don’t need some dang app bleeding us dry as well. If they offered a one time payment? Fine. If you must, I get that it’s a business, but this subscription crap is dumb and at this point I don’t trust anything this company does. I’m currently trying to put my several years worth of data into a different app now. Maybe Clue, that one is supposed to be free and secure. This one isn’t worth it.

Free access is great but subscription is lacking... I love this app and all of what it includes, especially the secret chats! I’ve been tempted for awhile to get the subscription and use the personalized health assistant, however now that I have it I’m unfortunately pretty disappointed. Multiple times now when I’ve spent time going through all of the questions, it hasn’t given me the personalized feedback. This time for instance, at the end of answering all the questions when I hit finalized it said it needed to recalculate, that my logs were updated, and this information is no longer relevant… without ever giving me any of the information I wanted. Now I can’t find or access this chat either, and since this isn’t the first time this has happened it feels like quite a waste of time. I was looking forward to the personalized insight on things related to my cycle and health but so far I don’t feel like I’ve gotten that. For now I don’t think the subscription is worth it for me, but would revisit if there is better access to chat history, and if the health assistant starts working as it should before my subscription ends next year. I do also have a screenshot of this issue when it happened because I was concerned I wouldn’t be able to re-visit the chat.

Disappointed. I loved the idea of this app, I loved the tools it offered to women, I loved that it was an app made to help women track their period and to advice us on what we could expect monthly, and I’m not talking about when we could expect our period to begin, I’m talking about symptom we may feel with the upcoming change in our hormones that occur monthly. Now i find myself deleting this app in complete disappointment towards the team behind this. And app created for women being used as a weapon towards the same women it promised to help before? Completely nauseating action. To sell our data, do not care for our mental health or or physical health, to not care for our rights that are being ripped away from us. Disappointing is not enough of a word to express my feeling towards this app and their creator, traitors may be a more suitable word to describe y’all. Women rights are not optional, abortion is a right and will continue to happen, the only thing that changes is going to be the great amount of women who will have risky abortions and I blame it on white misogynistic republican men and anyone who supports them including you. Roe v Wade is not the end of it, It’s the beginning of a new era of women taking what is owned to them, we will get our rights back, while you guys choke on your own hurtful narrative. I hope every women out there finds themselves a better app to track their period, an app that will not be selling our data for their own gain. I also hope every women gets to choose what is best for their lives.

The pros do not outweigh the cons. I’ve used the app in the past when I was trying to get pregnant. It seemed like it had some good tools to help you on that journey. We ultimately ended up not being able to continue trying, and I updated the app to reflect that we were not trying to get pregnant, I just wanted to track my period. The app however continued to send me near constant tips on how to get pregnant and reminders of when I was in the ideal conception window for months! It was just a terrible, sad gut punch every time and I ended up having to delete the app. Today I saw a post about their new perimenopause/menopause tool, including a quiz to score where you are on the journey. The questions include a whole section on when your last period was so they can calculate whether you are officially in menopause. Helpful except theres literally no way to tell it if the lack of periods are a medical issue, like the hysterectomy I had a little over a year ago, so it can’t give me even remotely accurate info. But the worst part is to access this tool, you are required to give them permission for them and their third party partners to have unfettered access to and the ability to share all information you provide, including personal info. There is no option to opt out at all. It’s shady to be sure, and I think shows what the company really values (your data not your health).

Not what it used to be. I used to use this app for years to simply track my cycle. I don’t use this app for fertility predictions or anything other than simply tracking my cycle and obtaining cycle predictions. It used to be a great, simple tool but now that they have a premium paid tier, it seems as if the only thing they care about is gaining subscribers unfortunately. Every time I open the app just to simply log a date or check my cycle, I’m greeted with a full page ad for their premium tier. Sometimes TWO full page premium ads back to back! Why do I have to see this full page ad EVERY time I open the app? If I have declined it in the past you should stop showing me the ad. I’m not interested. Im really disappointed that the developers have gone down the path of profits as their only goal. I think the app provides some good educational resources for very young people, but again everything besides cycle and symptom tracking is locked behind a paywall that many young school age children wouldn’t have access to. And in reality there’s no information this app provides that can’t be found through a simple google search. I have since switched to the cycle tracker in the Health app for iOS. There’s no premium tier, no ads and it is just as accurate and has the same basic functionality as Flo.

Love this app!. I used MyDays to track my cycle for years, I saw a sponsored ad to try Flo about 2 years ago and it’s been extremely helpful! I’ve always had pretty regular cycles, but this app is so much easier to use and I feel like it’s been very accurate for me. I have been able to successfully time ovulation and conceive my first child with the help of this app! I love the pregnancy mode and the helpful daily insights. One feature I’ve really come to love and appreciate is the insights being more tailored to me. I was a little apprehensive of being asked to identify my race/ethnicity a few weeks ago, but now I’ve noticed that the insights have been so much more relatable and I think that’s absolutely amazing!!! I read so much stuff online about pregnancy and childbirth and my first thoughts are always about how the material relates to certain groups of women, compared to others. I love that the developers have taken this into consideration. I would like to suggest that not only Flo, but more if not all, pregnancy and childbirth resources provide more info and materials for single women or women who are not in traditional man/woman relationships or marriages.

Did a man make this app?. ***Update: I still am using the free version but it’s had a bug at least 6-8 months where it will delete your most recent logged period. I thought it was just me forgetting to log but I have become consistent with logging and it’s so annoying to have to remember my previous month’s dates to track when I can expect my cycle as THATS THE WHOLE POINT of this app to keep track of your cycle. I can’t be the only one having issues with this. It’s been going on for months now. ***I’ve had this app for a while and was actually really impressed with all of the free features. Not too long ago I wanted to read an article, something that I had done before and actually made me appreciate the app even more as the article was well written and gave FLO credibility. All articles are now behind a pay wall. Actually everything is behind a pay wall! The chat feature will allow you to tell alllll your business and then not give an answer until you subscribe. The notifications that something is possibly irregular in your cycle but you have to pay to find out feels gross to me. “Something could be wrong!” Subscribe to find out. “You could be pregnant!” Subscribe to find out if you are. “Is this normal?” Subscribe to find out. The constant bait and switch is ridiculous on top of being prompted to subscribe every time you open the app. Knowing how personal and complicated a woman’s health is, I can’t imagine a woman designed this app to be so frustrating to use. I can see the chat feature being a paid thing but everything? Really?! The free tracker is good though. But at this point Flo seems so $$ hungry I’m not subscribing just out if spite.

New update was a bad move. I really enjoyed Flo and have used it for years. My main reason for keeping it was because I could remove most mentions of pregnancy that are found in most period tracking apps. For those of us who aren’t looking to get pregnant, can’t get pregnant, or have difficulty looking at pregnancy related content - this update was NOT IT. Now I have to scroll through a long list of verbiage and track pregnancy tests, ovulation tests, contraceptives - regardless of if they apply to me. The other version allowed you to customize your experience so you’re not wasting time scrolling through options that don’t apply for you. Btw, the horizontal symptom scrolling with icons was way better UX/UI than having all the symptoms written out in a cluttered block. Don’t know how this passed accessibility testing! At this point, I will probably have to remove myself from Flo. I am honestly unable to look at the pregnancy tracking features every day and I don’t even have the option to hide or skip. This feature change does not keep non-pregnant people in mind. As a premium user, I also wish I had the option to disable the pop ups. They are NEVER ENDING. I’ll pay extra to never see Flo Assistant again.

It’s okay, switched over immediately after finding something better.. Flo was one of the first apps I used to track my period as I saw the talk about it online and I would say it’s alright, but it was a pain to have these payments in my face when trying to do anything on this app at all. Trust me, I get it supports the apps funding, but I would only open the app once to check my current schedule and suddenly a payment plan is showing up in my face a second later. 🥲 I would also like to note that many of the reads that you have to pay for in the subscription, could probably be easily Googled, which I thought was a bit odd. The thing that really drove me over was the partner tracking system, me and my partner are both females, so when we found out we couldn’t have both our periods tracked at once within the app we searched for a new app immediately and switched over, it was a tad disappointing that the partner system was only for women and men relationships regarding that there is several advice documents for LGBTQIA+. Our first thought that there wasn’t one for both female partners to use (not too tech savy, so we thought it was a programming thing), but we found an app suitable for us to use in a few minutes, apps even allowing multiple friends to have their period calendars synced. It’s a shame that this was the main reason for me leaving Flo. The lack of inclusiveness and the constant pushing of a paying plan really made the app unusable for me, and I didn’t really use it often which makes it more unfortunate. Probably won’t be coming back to this app unfortunately. 😓

The paywall. First of all, this app looks absolutely incredible. It’s detailed and it really keeps an eye on your period and your symptoms. It’d be amazing help for people like me who struggle to track their cycles, whether it’s because of inconsistency or simply forgetting or both. But EVERYTHING is behind a paywall. I have concerning symptoms and wanted to keep track of them for my next doctor’s visit — I thought Flo could help me but I’m in financial struggle right now and I can’t afford the monthly or yearly subscription. Really the only thing it looks like I can do without paying is logging my periods, which I can already do with Apple-health. I can’t access the ai chats, the quizzes, or the articles. The only other thing that I’ve seen is that it does tell me that my period symptoms are concerning. But again, I have to pay to do any self assessments for PCOS and Endo. I really wish I could enjoy this app, but I can’t use it for what I planned without paying for a subscription I can’t afford. Edit: also? What really bothers me is that it’s telling me I have symptoms I need to watch, then offers me a self assessment that would be really helpful — just to throw the paywall at me again. :/

i dont know about this. I am a penny pitcher, first and foremost. I almost never spend money loosely and very little to none on apps. I was very disappointed finding out that i couldn’t get any information past the cycle of my period’s without the premium subscription. I find it unfair bc I thought to myself that i was going to finally get some answers to questions ive been having for a while now. In the ads yall promoted this app as if I was going to understand my body better and deeper for free. I know how to track my periods; knowing when and how long they will last on my own just by tracking it on my calendar so having this app just for that sole reason is useless to me. I had this app before years ago before it got so popular but deleted it bc it really didn’t help me understand anything fr. It’s a shame that all these years later this app still has nothing to offer for free for me, so i will be deleting it again. In the future I just hope that this app will provide more information without having to get the subscription that’ll help folks understand their bodies better and deeper.

Honest Review. After using this period app since I was 16-17 (I’m almost 24 now), in my honest opinion I’ve seen this app go backwards instead of forwards. It used to be my only reliable period tracking app that was actually accurate and gave good information on health and things about my irregular periods. Now it’s just become a constant “pay for the subscription in order to use even basic helpful tools!” But I will say that most of the articles you want to read on the app you can find on google for free, so why pay for it? Not to mention every single time I open the app the first thing I see is “SUBSCRIBE!” or “SALE!” and of course there’s no way to close out of it except to press “Accept” just to press “I don’t want it”. It’s annoying really. Not more annoying than the fact that essentially you can’t use much of anything besides tracking a period without being pushed to pay. I get having to afford things for development and updates to the app but that’s too much in my opinion. I really did like this app a lot more before it became money begging. I’m now going to look for a new one unfortunately. Period apps like this shouldn’t require money just to access basic content.

Disappointment as the app “grows”. I understand that Flo is run by A LOT of people that need to be paid so while I understand that premium is needed in order to make their ends meet to pay everyone on board. I think there are a few select things they could do to for people who can’t afford premium. Firstly, go back to letting us see more than just two months predictions of our menstrual cycle. I don’t understand why that had to be limited if it doesn’t really seem like a “premium feature”. Cycle predictions, at this point, and along with period tracking, seem to be the only TRUE free features of this app up until this update. I feel like next, “My daily insights” are also going to be a Premium Feature and I feel like that would be overly selfish of a “free” app. Another thing y’all could do is provide SOME free content of the Insights we currently have to pay to see. Like a preview if you will. This would have been a great app had it stayed accessible to teens barely getting their cycle. Women’s health is hardly talked about and a lot of girls end up feeling insecure about themselves because they see changes and feel things no one wants to talk about and a lot of that is seen here in this app. While it is a shame that Flo had to start charging, it is understandable but work on making important information accessible, please!

Love this app.. So I paid $2 for another app cuz it said it could tell me what phase of my cycle I was in and also send updates to my husband when I was in a new phase and give him heads up for ideas to support me, which is so awesome in theory, but the app is pretty dry, I don’t like the layout, and the insights about the phases weren’t as helpful as I would have liked. AND I could only track certain symptoms at certain times of the month, which is just plain stupid. So I came back to this free app because I like the design and the tracking features because I have random symptoms all month that I will never remember and need to reference at appts. That said, the ideas behind that other app are great. I would love to have insights about each of the phases and the opportunity to sign my husband up for emails that help him understand my cycle as it happens, too. I would even pay for that. (Not a lot, lol don’t gouge me.) I never understood much about my period and lady bits until I was older, so this has been very helpful overall. And it is usually pretty accurate at estimating dates (within a few days), even though my period can be really wonky and frequently comes early.

Cannot view without being bothered with the upgrade. Great app. It’s a shame they just won’t let you be. I understand asking for an upgrade but to be baited when I have a question is wrong. The auto assistant answers just enough of your questions only to shut you out before you get to the actual answer needed. I don’t believe stringing people along falls in line with their entire “we’ve got you!” “Women are awesome” “Women are great” “We are your friends” “We are here to help” mantras. An actual friend would do that. Now they’ve decided to hold my valuable time hostage and made me answer several questions before I could even view my cycle schedule. I’m a busy person and mom just like to rest of the moms out there and I had about 7 seconds (at that moment) to view my cycle calendar before my toddler got in to something. I wasn’t able to view my cycle calendar because of their making me jump through hoops. I ran out of time. I made time to write this review (I never write reviews and I especially don’t bother if it’s a bad one.) to tell other women to find another app. These people border on rude. Pretty shameful for software to come across as rude. But they irritated mo over and over again - no less than 100 times so I had to write my FIRST BAD REVIEW OF ANYTHING EVER. That’s how disappointed I am. It’s a shame. The function of the app is phenomenal.

They only want money. they dont care about women.👎. I am sick of this period app. i have been using this app for about a year now. I used to use clue. which in some ways is better. looking back now it was a waste completely switching over to this app. Every single time i log a symptom that is concerning to me, or even just a normal symptom, the healthbot pops up and asks some serious questions and makes you feel like you NEED to know. and yeah we should know. but guess what, right before the bot even tells u anything helpful, it says you need to SUBSCRIBE TO FLO PREMIUM monthly. MONTHLY?? PAYING IN THE FIRST PLACE?????IT SHOULD BE FREE. This information should be FREE and accessible to women. Shame on you Flo. Shame on you for the countless times I have recorded painful symptoms and the chat bot just LED ME ON and then did NOTHING FOR ME. every single time. not to mention all the other dumb little things u have to pay MONTHLY for…U cant even change your profile picture. Something as little and arbitrary as that. U cant change it without paying monthly. You cant read about important medical information about your body that is already so SCARCE and RARELY spoken about. it is disturbing how much you dont care about us/women/our uteruses. you just want money.👎 Probably going to switch to a different period app. I am sick of this money hungry advertising. CONSTANTLY. on an app for my PERIOD. something necessary for my health as a woman. I do not know WHY this app has 4 something stars. it is just a money hungry capitalist scheme obviously.

Horrible Customer Service Do Not Download!!!. I submitted my review, clearly stated i requested a refund the proper way. Even spoke with Apple support and I get a response from the flow representative stating deleting the app doesn’t provide a refund. Then they explain how to request a refund which I clearly already stated that I did. And suggest calling Apple support. What is the point of responding to a review if you are not even going to read it. I see lots of bad reviews on here with people saying they couldn’t get a refund. flow is a money grab. Instead of showing the most helpful reviews on the app page they should show the real reviews which are these. Instead of paying a representative to uselessly respond to reviews, they should take that money and refund it to unhappy customers. My daughter accidentally signed up for a year subscription thinking she was signing up for a free trial and the application charged us for a yearly subscription. As soon as she realized what she did she cancelled the subscription and requested a refund. Sh did it right away, she did not use the application. Our refund request was denied with no reasoning provided. Even in the “email” provided there was no reason provided. I called and spoke with Apple and they could not help either. I have head this application denies refund requests often. The subscription could at least have been prorated if not fully refunded but there was no option for this.

Great app with a minor-but annoying-issue. I’ve been using Flo for years to track my period cycles, and I’ve subscribed to Flo premium for two or three years. Thanks to the fertile/ovulation predictions on the calendar, I got pregnant the second month of trying. I switched the app to pregnancy mode. The app turns into one of the best pregnancy apps I use. BUT there’s one problem that’s pretty annoying. I went to my first ultrasound toward the end of what I thought was my 8th week of pregnancy, and the OB estimated that I was really almost a week ahead of what Flo predicted (based on my last period and average cycle length). I tried to change how far along I really was on the app, but it wouldn’t let me! There’s an option to change how far I was, but it would let me select an option that was ahead of the app prediction. I even tried to change the due date in hopes of changing the week I am in, but that didn’t work either. This is annoying because the “daily insights” aren’t synced up with my biological timeline, so I don’t have much use for the app anymore. I cancelled my premium subscription and I’ll be using a couple other pregnancy tracking apps that have let me change my progression time.

Love this app. I actually love this app. I rarely buy apps or subscriptions to anything. I, like many others, really think long and hard before downloading an app and especially if I have to pay for it. I originally downloaded the app for ovulation tracking while trying to get pregnant. I found the tracking and inputting of info to be really easy. It took a few months to get enough info for an accurate reading, but the app mentioned this was necessary several times so I understood it took time. I’m also a healthcare professional so I have an understanding of how the body works. I also really liked the interactive health assistant feature. I found it to be really informative and liked clicking on the related articles to learn more. I love how all the articles are written or reviewed by licensed OBGYNs. The info/education is vetted by actual experts as opposed to info you get from just googling. Overall it’s really eased anxiety around the ovulation and conceiving process. It can be a stressful process, especially when things do go as planned. The educational info is really what keeps me coming back. Would highly recommend.

Good, but having issues (now MORE issues?). UPDATED CORRECTION: My ovulation week (which happened weeks ago) jumped up an entire week too for. So now my period and ovulation dates are changing for seemingly no reason. This has never happened before. I understand the developer’s response, but I’m still not sure if you’re understanding the issue or if I’m failing to see something. Like I said, I’ve never had issues with this EVER, so why is every single thing changing. My period date. Changed over 6 times in the last few days, and so did my ovulation too. This makes no sense. I never had issues with this before, but this month, the day on when my period is going to start keeps changing. Every day it gets bumped up to the next day. First it said the 18, then 19, and now it’s up to the 21st. I don’t know if there’s an error occurring in the calendar or what, but it’s really annoying and confusing. I can’t tell what day is the correct day for my period to start, and now I’m worried everything else is wrong or the dates are offset (like for ovulation, as an example). Note: this has nothing to do with periods being late, as this is many days prior to when my period should even start.

Great app but pop-ups are endless and annoying!. I’ve used this app for years, and it’s always very spot on with tracking my cycle so I can plan things in advance to find reasons for certain moods/symptoms during the month. However, in the last few years, the popups in the app have become borderline incessant. It used to be just one singular pop up that asks if you want to subscribe for a year, you could hit ‘no’ and that would be it. Now, a giant pop up that takes up the entire screen comes up and there isn’t just an X anymore. You HAVE to interact with it to make it go away, but it didn’t hit close. No, you have to be taken to the NEXT pop-up that’s telling you “What if we give you THIS deal?? Will you subscribe now??” and only then can you tap an X to close out of it. It’s extremely annoying, and deters me from opening this app most of the time these days because it takes 400 steps to just get to the home page that tells you where you are in your cycle. Just get rid of the pop-ups constantly asking the user to subscribe to a year. Or if you must, make it easy to close out of, not force the user to interact with it by clicking “I don’t want it” rather than just an X to close out of it.
