Reviews for Natural Cycles – Birth Control

I haven't been using this long since I got married, but the app is clean, easy to use, and the customer service is excellent! The app didn't work on my old phone's operating system, so they gave me a refund for the entire subscription, and let me use the app for 6 months for free on the desktop version. When I got a new phone 2 months later, it started working in app so I told them they could start charging me again, but they let me keep the extra 4 months for free! Very impressive service!

Great app. I find it annoying the thermometer not only beeps really loudly (with no way to turn it off- it wakes my partner), and that it does not automatically sync up with the app. You have to type in your temp. The thermometer also does not have a screen that lights so if it's dark, you need a phone or flashlight to light up your screen. When you pay $80.00 for something, I expect it to be a little more seamless.

My only quelm is the thermometer doesn't sync with the app and it's so easy to miss the temp reading - you can't retrieve the record, it's just gone. Daisy has a bad app, but I use their thermometer (which uses Bluetooth to sync temps to their app). This app is fantastic! Super easy to use and historical data available at a glance. I like that it warns me when I'm going to be PMSing (based on my prev. input). And all of the factual notices are really relevant/ informative/ simple to review.

I love it and haven't had issues, it does take effort to track and take your temps and follow what the app says. But I agree with other negative reviews that the thermometer kind of sucks. 1. It should have a longer re-call...one second isn't long enough. 2. It should have a light because most of the time when taking temps the sun is down. 3. Bluetooth would be incredible!! So much easier, just take your temp and go back to sleep and it will record the temp it's self. That would be awesome.

Absolutely nothing about this app is free. It's $14.99/mo or $100+/year. You can't see any of the app or its functions to decide if it's for you. You can trial for a month, but after that you're getting billed for the whole year. You can't trial and then do monthly. You also apparently have to use their brand thermometer ($39 if u dont want to pay for a year subscription) or the ring ($259).

I've been using the App for a month now. I love the look of the app. It's look and design makes it a very "easy to use" app. But, I absolutely hate that the thermometer doesn't link with the app itself. It's so difficult to read in the dark without a light up screen, and it takes forever to measure temperature. It does store the latest reading but it disappears fast when attempting to retrieve it. Overall, I'll continue to use NC because the information and the tracking is spot on.

I've only been using the app for about a month but so far I love the look of the app, all the features, navigation, and the educational material. I'm in my 30's & didn't know half of the information they teach you about! Con: the only one so far, is the thermometer. When I wake up in a darkish room, the thermometer is hard to read. It doesn't light up or automatically update the app with your temp. If they could update this, it would change I would have zero negative feedback!

This has so much potential, perhaps second or third generations will be good but this one is not. My main issue is that the thermometer does not sync with the app (the whole point I previously thought) the thermometer doesn't even light up and is so difficult to use in the dark (the moment you wake up, groggy and fumbling no less). The app is also not designed well, I've had free period tracker apps that were easier to use.

The app itself is fine, but don't expect anything at all in the way of customer service. My subscription cancelled itself, and so far I've spent 3 days trying to reach Natural Cycles trying to get their help. The customer service chat is useless, and when it forwarded my problem to an email assistant, guess what? Still absolutely zero help! And it did the same thing last year, too. So go ahead if you're interested in spending money on an app that only sometimes works.

Love the app! It gives you lots of great information. It's setup well and even gives you reminders to set your thermometer out for testing in the morning. The thermometer on the other hand is the absolute worst! It takes a long time to check your temp. There is no back light to read the numbers. It says it saves the last reading but when you turn it back on to record your numbers it only stays on screen for a few seconds. I've missed multiple reading because the temp timed out.
