Mar 31, 2021 This app is good and very detailed, but it's becoming more and more annoying. I want an app that doesn't bother me every day with notifications and just sends one before my period. I went through the settings and turned off some notifications, but soon afterwards they switch back on! I have attempted to turn them off three times by now. Is this a glitch?more -
love it!
Jul 24, 2018 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!more -
It’s nice but...
Feb 23, 2019 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.more -
Definitely the best period app.
Mar 19, 2020 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!!more -
Apr 3, 2021 When I first started using Flo, I would have given it a 5 star rating. Its been so helpful to have on my health journey. However recently they have been advertising there paid membership everywhere and its gotten annoying after awhile. I don't mind seeing the ads every now and then but almosy everytime I open the app and try to look at something the screen will pop up for the membership. If it didnt pop up so often I would still give a 5 star review.more

Apr 9, 2021 I've used this app for many many years, and now it's as bloated as I am on a bad month. They've changed everything, added a bunch of apparently expensive features I absolutely DON'T want or need. I'd consider paying for the app as it previously existed, but it's trying to be its own social media. No, I do not need 'personalized' automatic responses about my freaking period. I just wanted to track dates and maybe symptoms. Good if wishing to become pregnant...? Maybe. I'm looking for a new app.more -
Apr 11, 2021 This app is great and I love the tracking and other info it provides. The biggest issue is that lately I'm getting a TON of push notifications about premium features and secret chats. I'm not interested at all in either feature and I have my settings set as conservative as I can to still get a notification when my period will start soon. I'm really disappointed by this and if it continues I'm going to uninstall. A good app is being ruined by over marketing.more -
Extra features only available with premium
Oct 2, 2020 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.more -
Apr 11, 2021 I used to really enjoy this app, but I've had to turn notifications off entirely because it kept trying to give me weird health tips and advertise its own premium features at me. Every time I open the app, it wants me to buy a subscription, and even though I've inputted every period I've had for years at this point, it keeps telling me to "input the first day of your last period" whenever I try to look at the data on my cycle. At this point I've no choice but to find something else. :(more -
Apr 1, 2021 Upon installing Flo, you'll be relentlessly and mercilessly prompted to upgrade to premium, and notifications keep on coming after you turn them off. The app itself is fine, but even with all notifications off, it still harassess me more often than any other app. Frankly, the annoyance isn't worth it when there are less intrusive alternatives. Uninstalling so I can get some peace and quiet.more
- Keep track of your entire cycle from beginning to end! Log all your symptoms so you know what you can expect the next time around
- Keep track of your physical activity to see how it might affect your cycle now and in the future

Currently On a Free Trial
Sep 18, 2020 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 appmore -
Mar 30, 2021 This is a great way to track your PMS, period, ovulation, and pregnancy. This app has a lot of helpful information that goes along with your progress. As well as healthy tips to benefit your physical and mental health. Even includes information on sexual health, and body positivity by actual doctors and therapist. I have had this app for well over a year now and helps with tracking things that are important to me, and puts them in easy to read data that I can share with my physician. Its great!more -
Apr 9, 2021 Oh, the banality of apps to help track your cycle. However, this is a phenomenal app! It is so much more than just a period tracker. Depending on which day of your cycle you're on...Flo has professional daily insights to why you may be feeling a certain way and why. This is my favorite app I have on my phone. Thanks, Flo! ❤️more

Amazing but needs a touch.
Sep 13, 2017 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☺️more -
Pretty good
Nov 18, 2017 The reason I downloaded this app was because I have fairly irregular periods. They have always been irregular, but I discovered that I have hypothyroidism which contributes greatly to irregular periods. I am also breastfeeding and have been breastfeeding for 18 months. I do notice that when I take my thyroid medication my periods become a lot more predictable and more normal. So, with that being said I did not expect this app to be spot on for me. I am just not one of those women who have a really predictable cycle. If you have a predictable cycle than this app will work great for you!! It tells you ovulation days so you can try (or avoid) getting pregnant. It reminds you when your period is due which is nice. Since my periods aren’t regular it took about 4-6 cycles to actually get the app to correctly predict my periods which is understandable. It’s important to log all your symptoms because that’s how it tells which phase you are in. This month it said I was supposed to start, but when I updated my symptoms, it changed the date I was due for my period. My period actually came 3 days before it was “due” but still, that’s pretty good guessing with someone who has irregular cycles. I do also love that they have articles you can read that educate you about your body. 4.5 stars.more -
Apr 6, 2021 I'm really happy with this app! The app is not only about your period but also tells you a lot about your well-being in form of small dialogues and pictures. It helps you to take care of your body, for example, it reminds you to drink water and you can specify how much you have in your system and what amount of liquid you need for a day. very good app except that some things are chargeable but a lot is also free i would recommend it to everyone !!more -
Good, but having issues (now MORE issues?)
Apr 21, 2020 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.more

I don't mind seeing the ads every now and then but almosy everytime I open the app and try to look at something the screen will pop up for the membership. If it didnt pop up so often I would still give a 5 star review.more -
Mar 30, 2021 I have been using Flo for five years! No doubt it's an amazing app. But changing my rating from five star to three because all of their contents are for premium users! As a basic user you can only track your cycle. I think they needed to keep some more contents for everyone. It's too much disappointing that you started reading an article and after while you get to know you can finish it only if you're a premium user!more -
Mar 29, 2021 I used to love this app. Just a simple cycle tracker that could predict my period better than I could. The newest update came with a ton of features that are restricted in the free version, but that are still there all the time. So now when I just want to see how many days are left until my period, I have to work my way through several layers of ads and annoying animations. I can still use the same functions, but they are now buried under tons of features that I am not interested in. :(more -
Not woman-owned, Paywall is a slap in the face
Jul 9, 2020 I’d been using Clue up till now. I read that Flo had some additional tracking options (such as indicating when you change your chosen period collection method and, if applicable, how much you collected). They must have still been rolling out the feature because I didn’t have it or find a way to enable it. But the paywall is why I’m writing this review. Literally everything except tracking your period and a generally unhelpful and unmonitored community chat is locked behind that $50 subscription. If I track a symptom consistently and the app recommends an article to me, just let me read it. Or at least a portion of it. Don’t immediately hit me with the ad to subscribe. The frequency of that ad alone is enough to make me not want to subscribe. And don’t get me started on the community chat. It NEEDS to be moderated. There is some straight up harmful garbage there (not all but enough). I also did some digging and the app is not woman-owned or founded (which is important to me). Some entrepreneur guy founded it and as far as I can tell they don’t use revenue from the app to support any women’s causes. I think I’ll be going back to Clue, where at least it’s designed by women, for women, and has a more thoughtful paywall.more

Apr 11, 2021 This app is great and I love the tracking and other info it provides. The biggest issue is that lately I'm getting a TON of push notifications about premium features and secret chats. I'm not interested at all in either feature and I have my settings set as conservative as I can to still get a notification when my period will start soon. I'm really disappointed by this and if it continues I'm going to uninstall. A good app is being ruined by over marketing.more -
Great for period tracking only
May 30, 2019 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 helpfulmore -
Apr 11, 2021 I liked this app until they started their subscription service and started adding so many additional health features. They are repetitive and annoying to click through. Just wanted a simple tracking app like this used to be several years ago. Good if you are not very informed about your own health or if you are trying to get pregnant, but a bit annoying to me personally. Not everyone wants to track for pregnancy.more -
Too many ads
Apr 12, 2021 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.more -
Apr 9, 2021 I have been using flo about 3 years ago, and I loved it. But I lost my phone and previous account last year, so I installed it again with a new account this year. I hate the fact that you have to subscribe to get insights. Usually before now, whenever I log details I read different insights or tips without having to subscribe & it has been very helpful,but this recent development is so annoying, nothing at all, can be read on what I log, except I subscribe. I really regret installing this appmore

Apr 9, 2021 I've used this app for many many years, and now it's as bloated as I am on a bad month. They've changed everything, added a bunch of apparently expensive features I absolutely DON'T want or need. I'd consider paying for the app as it previously existed, but it's trying to be its own social media. No, I do not need 'personalized' automatic responses about my freaking period. I just wanted to track dates and maybe symptoms. Good if wishing to become pregnant...? Maybe. I'm looking for a new app.more -
Extra features only available with premium
Oct 2, 2020 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.more -
Apr 11, 2021 I used to really enjoy this app, but I've had to turn notifications off entirely because it kept trying to give me weird health tips and advertise its own premium features at me. Every time I open the app, it wants me to buy a subscription, and even though I've inputted every period I've had for years at this point, it keeps telling me to "input the first day of your last period" whenever I try to look at the data on my cycle. At this point I've no choice but to find something else. :(more -
Apr 1, 2021 Upon installing Flo, you'll be relentlessly and mercilessly prompted to upgrade to premium, and notifications keep on coming after you turn them off. The app itself is fine, but even with all notifications off, it still harassess me more often than any other app. Frankly, the annoyance isn't worth it when there are less intrusive alternatives. Uninstalling so I can get some peace and quiet.more -
New update ruined it..
Sep 19, 2020 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.more
What’s Groovy
Update: I had no idea this app turned into a pregnancy tracker after you miss a period. Amazing!!! Adding 1 more star for a full 5 star review. I still think the free content is far better than the paid content and the anonymous chat should go away, so much negativity there.
The free features of this app are a million times more valuable than the paid features. The period and ovulation tracker was paramount to my husband and I conceiving - I’m terrible at keeping track of these things on my own (usually my period just sneaks up on me). The symptom tracker and the “dive into your cycle day ##” feature were especially helpful in recognizing that I was showing signs of being pregnant, rather than just experiencing PMS. Because the free features were so helpful, I tried the trial of the paid version and was very disappointed in what it included. Especially the “chat with other future moms”...oh my goodness, get rid of this, it’s just a platform for women to work each other up into frenzies over trying to conceive. It’s comical at first, “anyone else want to conceive so bad they imitate symptoms?” and then sad, “I’m crying at work right now because two other women are pregnant and I’m not”, and if you keep reading it starts eating away at you...everything posted is so negative.

What’s Subpar
Was a great app, but lately I feel bombarded by notifications and tips I do not want. I've tried to change the settings so I only get notified about my own cycle but so far it's not working. My other MAJOR gripe that has made me consider Uninstalling is the constant asks to upgrade to premium and pay monthly. I would have absolutely no issue paying a larger one time payment to use it. I do not want to pay every month until the end of time for something like this.

This app is good and very detailed, but it's becoming more and more annoying. I want an app that doesn't bother me every day with notifications and just sends one before my period. I went through the settings and turned off some notifications, but soon afterwards they switch back on! I have attempted to turn them off three times by now. Is this a glitch?

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! -
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. -
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!! -

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 -
This is a great way to track your PMS, period, ovulation, and pregnancy. This app has a lot of helpful information that goes along with your progress. As well as healthy tips to benefit your physical and mental health. Even includes information on sexual health, and body positivity by actual doctors and therapist. I have had this app for well over a year now and helps with tracking things that are important to me, and puts them in easy to read data that I can share with my physician. Its great!

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☺️ -
Oh, the banality of apps to help track your cycle. However, this is a phenomenal app! It is so much more than just a period tracker. Depending on which day of your cycle you're on...Flo has professional daily insights to why you may be feeling a certain way and why. This is my favorite app I have on my phone. Thanks, Flo! ❤️

This app has been my tracker since my late teen years. I've able to monitor my body, period and health generally. I recommend this app for every woman. But recently, you have to pay and subscibe for every article that could be helpful to people. The payment is too much. The app was meant to help women but the money being asked for is getting too much.

Loving it so far
I am using this app to conceive. I wish the app would ask if I am recently off birth control because that makes a huge difference in my period. I recently got off of my birth control in order to start the pregnancy process and my period is all over the place. My first cycle was short and it was abou to 35 days until my next. The app then thought that was my “norm” and said the best time to try again was X dates. Well it wasn’t because I started my period again. Hard to explain but I wish it would ask more questions and let you you Mark if you were on birth control and you recently got off of it because you want to have a baby -
Best thing ever
It’s so useful and easy. It’s the best tracker I’ve ever had. There’s so much information about various topics. -
Love this app
This app is so accurate and has helped me learn about my cycle. Would love to see an Appetite option under symptoms that you can log. -
Add a luteal phase tracker
On the graphs and reports tab, you should add a luteal phase tracker and/or and ovulation day tracker, rather than just cycle length and period length trackers. Would save me from having to pour over the calendar and do math. -
Help for when you just start or are your period
I don’t like it but do. Also they should put the age younger cause not all girls get there Periods at the age 12 I got mine 10 and so if you just started yours for the first time it feels weird and also just use pads when you first start use tampons when your parents allow you to cause you can go into shock also they don’t take your virginity don’t sleep with tampons in just wear a pad to bed its better then having aInfection down there if you don’t have a heating pad just get Warm water in a bottle . Luv you girlies -
Some things could be better
I really, really like Flo. I’ve been using Flo for years and I only have good things to say about the symptom tracker, accuracy, and insights. Flo knows my cycle exceptionally well. My only issue is the “secret chats.” I wish there was a way to filter out the messages by age group, or by relevancy. I will see a chat prompt such as “any tips to overcome anxiety?” and I’ll be interested in seeing others’ tips, only for all of the responses to be chain mail from 12 year old girls. I don’t want to stifle their fun, but I would like to see real answers to the questions and I rarely do. -
Awesome app
This is app is so good. I’ve never been one to track my cycles but since my partner and I decided to expand our family again through the same fertility center we used before, I decided to try this app out to help track and understand my cycles and symptoms. What I got was so much more than that. I started paying attention to other areas of my health and found the advice and suggestions quite thought provoking. It’s really amazing how much has been put into this app. However, as a female with a same-sex spouse, I do find topics such as “conception through sex” funny and annoying because people like myself or even females who are trying to conceive on their own, know that we can reproduce without the need to have sex. So topics covering relatable subjects for women like us would be worthy enough for someone like me to be an annual subscriber. -
Love it
I’ve been using it for years, I just love it. Thank you Team Flo! -
great app!
i love how detailed this app is, it gives a lot of opportunity to learn about our bodies. on suggestion- i’d love a widget for this app! -
Glitch?
Love this app for periods. I just bought the premium and as I’m trying to scroll down in chats to read people’s comments, a pop-up asking if I want to report them comes up like 5 times and I have to hit cancel 5 times to get it to go away. Please look into this!! Other than that it’s great

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. -
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. -
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. -
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!

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. -
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☺️ -
Pretty good
The reason I downloaded this app was because I have fairly irregular periods. They have always been irregular, but I discovered that I have hypothyroidism which contributes greatly to irregular periods. I am also breastfeeding and have been breastfeeding for 18 months. I do notice that when I take my thyroid medication my periods become a lot more predictable and more normal. So, with that being said I did not expect this app to be spot on for me. I am just not one of those women who have a really predictable cycle. If you have a predictable cycle than this app will work great for you!! It tells you ovulation days so you can try (or avoid) getting pregnant. It reminds you when your period is due which is nice. Since my periods aren’t regular it took about 4-6 cycles to actually get the app to correctly predict my periods which is understandable. It’s important to log all your symptoms because that’s how it tells which phase you are in. This month it said I was supposed to start, but when I updated my symptoms, it changed the date I was due for my period. My period actually came 3 days before it was “due” but still, that’s pretty good guessing with someone who has irregular cycles. I do also love that they have articles you can read that educate you about your body. 4.5 stars. -
I'm really happy with this app! The app is not only about your period but also tells you a lot about your well-being in form of small dialogues and pictures. It helps you to take care of your body, for example, it reminds you to drink water and you can specify how much you have in your system and what amount of liquid you need for a day. very good app except that some things are chargeable but a lot is also free i would recommend it to everyone !!

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. -
I love this app and have been using it for 4 years now. I even bought the premium, which I usually never do! One thing I do miss though are reports about individual symptoms I'm logging - e.g. some graphs or visual representations of how my moods fluctuate. That would make it much easier to reflect back on the month and see how I felt.

Almost Perfect
I love this app, and all the options it allows. Especially the symptoms it allows you to add day by day, it really helps me figure out my cycle and how my body is responding to my life. The app is relatively easy to use, and pretty customizable. The two main things that I wish to see updated in this app, is the option for the app to tell you how many days late you are. Currently if you are late, instead of reflecting that, it just keeps pushing your "expected period" date to the next day. I have been trying to find a way to see if i'm missing a setting to add this feature but so far no luck. I really like that feature on other apps so hopefully Flo adds it. And number two and perhaps the most important, I wish it allowed you to add a PREVIOUS pregnancy. It allows you to go through add previous periods so it can give you an accurate cycle length/prediction, however no options to add previous pregnancies which I think would prove very helpful to the app being able to predict future periods/pregnancies. Also I would like to have the option to add a personal picture instead of just the avatar but it's not really that big of a deal. All in all I love this app and highly recommend it! -
I have been using Flo for past 3 months now and I'm absolutely in love with this app. It tracks my period quite accurately but you cannot access to some of the great features without premium. But i would still recommend this app because it works for me really well. Besides tracking your periods it also count your steps, reminds you to take pills and water, etc. Last but not the least, Thanks a ton Flo for making my life a lil easier! :)

Love it but need some improvements
Even before I discovered that you can text other people it was really helpful. But now that I’m able to contact others anonymously and talk about real world stuff that you would be embarrassed to about outside of the app, it’s a hundred times better. I only wish you could see notifications for when people respond to your comment. Like an social media (I don’t think this is social media) it’s stressful putting something out there in the world and waiting for answers. Especially if it’s important, having to scroll through so much just to learn that you didn’t get a response it’s annoying. Having notifications that tell you if someone liked your comment or commented on it will relieve stress and make things simpler. Also, if your looking for a period app this one is really cool. It has easy to work period schedules, hooks right up to your iPhone health app and has really cool information. I know I have definitely learned a lot from it, and I feel much better about myself after reading articles on it. It’s also a great community of girls, girls who will stand up for you and are really empathetic and helpful. -
I love this app!
As a young woman my goal is to track my period and symptoms and make sure I am healthy and there are no massive changes in my cycle. Little did I know I was getting more than just that! These secret chats have literally saved my life. I talk with other people my age about common insecurities and problems. I feel more confident in my body knowing I am not alone in some struggles. I wish there was no premium because I feel like learning about my body should be free. But I get that without money Flo could not survive so what if Flo gave premium content to everyone and added a feature where you could get a custom period or pregnancy box once a month. It would take some time to get right but I know for sure I would buy it. Women would have to take quizzes on how many products they use in a cycle and what products they prefer and all that. They should also include some type of food maybe fuzzy socks and a book! All things you can personalize. Of course this box would not be cheap but it would be worth it!! And if you think you might be pregnant maybe include a pregnant test! Please consider this ♥️ But all together a great app 👍🏼
-
This app is good and very detailed, but it's becoming more and more annoying. I want an app that doesn't bother me every day with notifications and just sends one before my period. I went through the settings and turned off some notifications, but soon afterwards they switch back on! I have attempted to turn them off three times by now. Is this a glitch?
-
When I first started using Flo, I would have given it a 5 star rating. Its been so helpful to have on my health journey. However recently they have been advertising there paid membership everywhere and its gotten annoying after awhile. I don't mind seeing the ads every now and then but almosy everytime I open the app and try to look at something the screen will pop up for the membership. If it didnt pop up so often I would still give a 5 star review.
-
I have been using Flo for five years! No doubt it's an amazing app. But changing my rating from five star to three because all of their contents are for premium users! As a basic user you can only track your cycle. I think they needed to keep some more contents for everyone. It's too much disappointing that you started reading an article and after while you get to know you can finish it only if you're a premium user!
-
I used to love this app. Just a simple cycle tracker that could predict my period better than I could. The newest update came with a ton of features that are restricted in the free version, but that are still there all the time. So now when I just want to see how many days are left until my period, I have to work my way through several layers of ads and annoying animations. I can still use the same functions, but they are now buried under tons of features that I am not interested in. :(
-
Not woman-owned, Paywall is a slap in the face
I’d been using Clue up till now. I read that Flo had some additional tracking options (such as indicating when you change your chosen period collection method and, if applicable, how much you collected). They must have still been rolling out the feature because I didn’t have it or find a way to enable it. But the paywall is why I’m writing this review. Literally everything except tracking your period and a generally unhelpful and unmonitored community chat is locked behind that $50 subscription. If I track a symptom consistently and the app recommends an article to me, just let me read it. Or at least a portion of it. Don’t immediately hit me with the ad to subscribe. The frequency of that ad alone is enough to make me not want to subscribe. And don’t get me started on the community chat. It NEEDS to be moderated. There is some straight up harmful garbage there (not all but enough). I also did some digging and the app is not woman-owned or founded (which is important to me). Some entrepreneur guy founded it and as far as I can tell they don’t use revenue from the app to support any women’s causes. I think I’ll be going back to Clue, where at least it’s designed by women, for women, and has a more thoughtful paywall. -
Chat Boxes and More (very important)
I’ve had this app for almost a year and I was cool with it and all but they took the chat boxes/comment section away. I understand the articles like up to your daily log ins, but when they had comment sections, you really got to talk to people with similar problems and get advice. Now, it’s just article after article. I used to spend close to an hour on the app in a day but now it’s five minutes to quickly jot my mood. I hope you bring back the comment section because I got a lot of help from it. Also, update the moods or what you are feeling and the symptoms like headaches backaches. What about stomachaches? They don’t always fall under cramps. And the sleep monitor, you should be allowed to manually input the minutes. I don’t like that it rounds my 26 minutes to 30 when it’s less because it’s not 100% accurate. Lastly, you should have different times of the day where you ask how we are feeling. Like, at 7-8am you ask our morning mood, then around 11-1pm you ask our mood then because no one is consistently happy from when they wake to when they sleep and no one is angry either. People have periods when their emotions change hourly so that should be taken into account. -
Great if you’re able to pay for premium
When I first downloaded Flo, I had the premium membership, and it was great. The chat boxes were really insightful, and the tracking provided me with lots of useful information about my health. However, when my circumstances changed and I had to cancel the premium membership, it is literally just a calendar on your phone where you can log your period and a few symptoms, and read a couple of articles. I understand that Flo requires funding to exist, but I was incredibly disappointed by just how limited the free membership is. Without payment, it is just another cycle-calendar app. The reason I’m writing this review now is because my period is late and a little chat box just popped up that claimed it was going to go over the possible causes. When I clicked into it, the first screen was a list of things like pregnancy, stress, diet etc (stuff I could simply find online), and when I clicked next, expecting some sort on insight tailored to my input, it just said the next bit is for premium subscribers only. I couldn’t believe it. So far, I’ve found the app is basically pointless unless you’re willing to pay. -
Good but not great
I like this app for the convenience of being able to track my period, input exercises and symptoms, however, I don't think it's very accurate on it's own and it doesn't allow many options to override the software. Sorry in advance for the length... For example: After trying to conceive for a few months with no success, I started charting my fertility and discovered that I usually ovulated a few days after Flo predicted (Flo goes by the typical "day 14" rule, which doesn't change no matter what data you add unless it's results from an ovulation test, and many women do not ovulate on day 14!). My second issue is with the period logging. I miscarried last month and had to switch back from pregnancy mode. While I logged all of my miscarriage bleeding as "period" in the app (basically three weeks worth) and now it's telling me that my period should start now. I understand that the whole point is for the app to predict your period, but miscarriage throws your cycle out of wack. It is very frustrating knowing that I'm going to have to go in and fix the period log every day and have the app tell me that I'm "late." I wish they could come up with some way to fix that. -
Love this app but not accurate
I have been using this app for about two years. I started using it after my previous app became outdated and the developers never updated it. Immediately I loved the features and look of this app. I have been tracking my cycles and ovulation using apps for about 6 years so I consider myself knowledgeable. Well, we decided to start trying for a another baby early this year (2018), following the ovulation days in Flo. We had no luck the first few months. Now this would be our third baby and the last two were conceived our first month trying, while using my previous app. My cycles are very regular and ovulation was always accurate. I noticed my body’s ovulation symptoms were not lining up with the dates on the app, they were about a 5-7 days before the app predicted. Sure enough, we then tried the week before the app predicted and we are now pregnant! FYI: my husband works away from home so we literally had to schedule for him to be home when I was ovulating. Also, I now have the app in pregnancy mode and the due date is off a week. I really like the app but would love for it to be more accurate. -
Almost!
This app is (was) perfect. Before the update, it had super useful articles, perfect for a young woman who just started her journey. I loved it when I started mine, it helped me learn about my body and how I can support it throughout my cycle. There were some that were unavailable, due to in-app purchases but that was understandable. However, this feature has been completely removed for those who don’t wish to pay $10/month! This was so upsetting, as this was one of my favorite features of the app. Women should be able to learn about their bodies for free, especially young woman who may not have someone teaching them or have someone to turn to! This app still has helpful features though. There are graphs and reports you can view that sum up your personal cycle and there are monthly reports that sometimes include information about what a full cycle consists of. There are conversations where you can chat with girls about various topics (feels like a sleepover!). Not only can you track period flo, products and symptoms, it is great for tracking everyday habits like sleep and water intake. I only rated it a 3 because they put their profit over women’s needs!!!!

I've used this app for many many years, and now it's as bloated as I am on a bad month. They've changed everything, added a bunch of apparently expensive features I absolutely DON'T want or need. I'd consider paying for the app as it previously existed, but it's trying to be its own social media. No, I do not need 'personalized' automatic responses about my freaking period. I just wanted to track dates and maybe symptoms. Good if wishing to become pregnant...? Maybe. I'm looking for a new app.
-
This app is great and I love the tracking and other info it provides. The biggest issue is that lately I'm getting a TON of push notifications about premium features and secret chats. I'm not interested at all in either feature and I have my settings set as conservative as I can to still get a notification when my period will start soon. I'm really disappointed by this and if it continues I'm going to uninstall. A good app is being ruined by over marketing.

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. -
I used to really enjoy this app, but I've had to turn notifications off entirely because it kept trying to give me weird health tips and advertise its own premium features at me. Every time I open the app, it wants me to buy a subscription, and even though I've inputted every period I've had for years at this point, it keeps telling me to "input the first day of your last period" whenever I try to look at the data on my cycle. At this point I've no choice but to find something else. :(
-
Upon installing Flo, you'll be relentlessly and mercilessly prompted to upgrade to premium, and notifications keep on coming after you turn them off. The app itself is fine, but even with all notifications off, it still harassess me more often than any other app. Frankly, the annoyance isn't worth it when there are less intrusive alternatives. Uninstalling so I can get some peace and quiet.

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 -
I liked this app until they started their subscription service and started adding so many additional health features. They are repetitive and annoying to click through. Just wanted a simple tracking app like this used to be several years ago. Good if you are not very informed about your own health or if you are trying to get pregnant, but a bit annoying to me personally. Not everyone wants to track for pregnancy.

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. -
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. -
Ok, I've used this app for actual years but it has recently become impossible to use. It is constantly asking for payments, it's significantly slower with its unnecessary "health insights" and it's shoving massive ads in my face opposed to the small ones below that 95% of other apps have. It's just become too much. Unless something changes, I will be searching for a new app and would dissuade anyone from downloading this one in the future.

1 star
This app is not accurate. Doesn’t give out the correct date of cycle or when you ovulate, you’ll be lost keeping up with your period using this app. I do not recommend, I give this app a 1 star. -
Bad App
This app looses track of my gestational age and confused me. One day I’m 28 w the next I’m 27 w??? -
Don’t like

Used to be good
I’ve been using this app since 2016/2017 and loved it for the longest time. i would recommend it to everyone and it was the only period tracking app i liked. For the last year or so they’ve really gotten money hungry. half the app has become useless unless you want to pay for the membership. not only that, but they shove the membership down your throat. you shouldn’t have to pay for “insights” that you can find on google!! and the chat boards could be way better. i’m an adult trying to get pregnant. it would be really nice to have chat boards of your own age group with the same goal (ex. period tracking or fertility) but instead most of the boards are all young teenagers. i wish it was just a simple period tracking app again. -
Was so much better
I have used this app for years now. I loved the articles and community blogs, but now everything is locked and only for premium members. What happened to the stuff for us “everyday” women who aren’t trying to be nickeled and dimed by subscriptions? -
Cannot believe they took away the secret chats.
The secret chats were the best part of Flo and now they are a part of premium. -
Other free apps are better
I downloaded this app just to try it out. I’ve used another period tracking app for about 8 years and was just branching out to see if anything was better. When I first signed up it offered a free 30 day trial which was nice considering I wasn’t sure if I was going to like the app or not but still got charged and had to dispute the charge with Apple. At first glance the app has a lot to offer but once I started diving into it I realized it really doesn’t offer much more useful options than most free apps. For starters my old app I can log cervical position, feeling, and opening, this only allows you to log cervical mucus. The helpful tips aren’t all that helpful either. I logged breast tenderness and it told me to check my bra... it’s supposed to be able to pick up on patterns from past cycles. That being said I always get tender breast before my period and I had logged my past cycles so I’m not sure why it’s telling me to check my bra. It also shows that I ovulated on a day that I clearly logged OPK negative. The chat rooms are an absolute nightmare! If you’ve been on any ttc groups on Facebook it’s the exact same in this app. Honestly they’re better off removing the secret chats. With all this being said there are free apps that are just as good as this app and will save you money. -
Over it
Used this app for a couple of years (2017-2021) and I’m getting tired of constantly getting pop ups about subscribing to premium. I don’t mind that they have a premium option, I just hate that every time I open the app the first thing that pops up is an advertisement for the premium subscription. Everything on the app leads to the app asking you to sign up for the premium subscription. It used to be fun and easy to use but now its just annoying. ALSO, there’s no clear way to log emergency contraceptive which is odd considering that this type of contraceptive can potentially disrupt the menstrual cycle for a minute (like it has mine) and I couldn’t even indicate in the app why my body was doing what it was doing, so it messed up the calculations and suggested that I see a doctor. -

(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 -
I liked this app until they started their subscription service and started adding so many additional health features. They are repetitive and annoying to click through. Just wanted a simple tracking app like this used to be several years ago. Good if you are not very informed about your own health or if you are trying to get pregnant, but a bit annoying to me personally. Not everyone wants to track for pregnancy.

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. -
I have been using flo about 3 years ago, and I loved it. But I lost my phone and previous account last year, so I installed it again with a new account this year. I hate the fact that you have to subscribe to get insights. Usually before now, whenever I log details I read different insights or tips without having to subscribe & it has been very helpful,but this recent development is so annoying, nothing at all, can be read on what I log, except I subscribe. I really regret installing this app

Disappointing, to say the least.
I've used this app for years, and I used to swear by it. With recent updates, it's near impossible to enjoy any of the content other than the bare bones period tracking without being bombarded by the 'premium content' label on everything. This app used to be informative and accessible to all which is what drew me to it, but now I can't read an article or my health insights without paying for a subscription, which isn't really an option for me since I don't have money to spend on that. Flo developers, you'll lose a significant amount of your users through your lack of inclusivity. It's only been more disappointing to come to the app reviews to see the same complaints as me, and also see that your response is always to contact you guys directly. Unless you're making this content more accessible and inclusive, there's no point in saying the same thing to you all through an email or a feedback message directly on the app. I'm sure this review will get the same generic response as you've given most recent reviews, but this app went downhill so suddenly and disappointingly that I can't help but speak my mind. Will be looking for another period tracker app that isn't constantly telling me I need to have money in order to understand my body. -
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. -
No longer worth it
The app was great when I started. After so many years of irregular periods thanks to Depo it finally started to regulate so I downloaded Flo to track my cycles. A few months in I ended up getting pregnant and switched to the pregnancy tracker feature which was really nice. However, I’m now 38 weeks pregnant and suddenly everything is locked and you have to update to premium for. I get that the ‘basic’ tracker features are still free, but this is pretty upsetting. At least having a limited amount of resources still be free for those who are pregnant, such as “Your pregnancy at week __” or “Your baby at week __” would be nice. I’m definitely going to switch to another pregnancy app for the short remainder of my pregnancy. Very sad that I’m literally in the home stretch of my pregnancy and the app developers decide to do this. Also, please don’t respond with paragraphs upon paragraphs of explanations about how you’re keeping basic features free, the extensive lists of doctors you pull articles from, and your excuses as to why you’re charging so much for “premium” features that have been available for free for quite a while. No one cares, and they can look at your other responses to the upset reviews about this sudden change (for the second time might I add). -
Pushy Advertising, I’ve About Had It...
I get the need to push users towards the subscription version of the app so that the company stands a better chance of getting funds for future development and continued support, but wow! Every time I open the app now, I am locked out of it by an ad for a discount on the subscription unless I kill the app and immediately reopen it. No exit button, and waiting does not get rid of it. Must be killed and immediately reopened. Flo has been steadily ramping it up with the pushing over the past couple of years, and it’s led to very poor advertising flows that are more irritating and less functional with each update. I only stick with Flo at this point because I have no way of transferring years of cycle data over to a different app. Another thing: stop it with the pop up that blocks access to the ‘My Daily Insights’ area that has suggested symptoms that are not relevant to me, at all. They’re always symptoms that I never have, rather than ones that are common at that point in my own cycle, per the years of data that the app should have on my cycle. Either make it tailored to the person’s data from within the app, or just get rid of it. -
Looking for a replacement
I like the usability of this app. But the ovulation tracking is garbage. It does not adjust correctly if your cycle changes. For instance it said I have a 28 day cycle and some how said I was ovulating on day 16. I know this is wrong and can’t forgive how the app has come up with that figure except for the time or two my cycle was longer. The i has a 26 day cycle and I updated the settings it said I would ovulate on day 11. Both of these are incorrect. I tried changing it back to 28 days and it still said I would ovulate on day 11. For fun I put in I has a 33 days and it still stayed ovulation on day 11. I updated the app closed it and restarted and the ovulation date does not readjust. Only reason I’m giving it 2 starts instead of 1 is because it’s easy to record periods and symptoms. Other then that it’s garbage. I’ve even taken ovulation test when the app says I’m ovulating but they show I’m not. This has been a waste of time and may have impacted my goal of getting pregnant by predicting the wrong days even when I actively try to update the information. I’ve been using this for about 1.5 years and have not gotten pregnant. It’s very disappointing.

I've used this app for many many years, and now it's as bloated as I am on a bad month. They've changed everything, added a bunch of apparently expensive features I absolutely DON'T want or need. I'd consider paying for the app as it previously existed, but it's trying to be its own social media. No, I do not need 'personalized' automatic responses about my freaking period. I just wanted to track dates and maybe symptoms. Good if wishing to become pregnant...? Maybe. I'm looking for a new 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. -
I used to really enjoy this app, but I've had to turn notifications off entirely because it kept trying to give me weird health tips and advertise its own premium features at me. Every time I open the app, it wants me to buy a subscription, and even though I've inputted every period I've had for years at this point, it keeps telling me to "input the first day of your last period" whenever I try to look at the data on my cycle. At this point I've no choice but to find something else. :(
-
Upon installing Flo, you'll be relentlessly and mercilessly prompted to upgrade to premium, and notifications keep on coming after you turn them off. The app itself is fine, but even with all notifications off, it still harassess me more often than any other app. Frankly, the annoyance isn't worth it when there are less intrusive alternatives. Uninstalling so I can get some peace and quiet.

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. -
Ok, I've used this app for actual years but it has recently become impossible to use. It is constantly asking for payments, it's significantly slower with its unnecessary "health insights" and it's shoving massive ads in my face opposed to the small ones below that 95% of other apps have. It's just become too much. Unless something changes, I will be searching for a new app and would dissuade anyone from downloading this one in the future.

Other free apps are better
I downloaded this app just to try it out. I’ve used another period tracking app for about 8 years and was just branching out to see if anything was better. When I first signed up it offered a free 30 day trial which was nice considering I wasn’t sure if I was going to like the app or not but still got charged and had to dispute the charge with Apple. At first glance the app has a lot to offer but once I started diving into it I realized it really doesn’t offer much more useful options than most free apps. For starters my old app I can log cervical position, feeling, and opening, this only allows you to log cervical mucus. The helpful tips aren’t all that helpful either. I logged breast tenderness and it told me to check my bra... it’s supposed to be able to pick up on patterns from past cycles. That being said I always get tender breast before my period and I had logged my past cycles so I’m not sure why it’s telling me to check my bra. It also shows that I ovulated on a day that I clearly logged OPK negative. The chat rooms are an absolute nightmare! If you’ve been on any ttc groups on Facebook it’s the exact same in this app. Honestly they’re better off removing the secret chats. With all this being said there are free apps that are just as good as this app and will save you money. -
No premium, no content
Again, but not by mistake this time, they’ve removed all content aside from a calendar. You have to be premium to see even the most basic of articles. Super annoying and seriously just no thanks. $10/month? I pay less for Hulu/Netflix. Lol. There are other apps with more free information and yet still I chose you guys. Been using this app for years but Im officially done. It should be health over money. Good luck. I’ve been reading through reviews and well you seem to have a lot of upset users now. Y’all should really reconsider what you’ve done to the app. I have been using this app for a couple of years now. I am now pregnant and have switched the settings. I’ll be 20 weeks tomorrow and aside from seeing just how far along I am, I have to subscribe to premium for any other information. I was able to read the what happens at 19 weeks insight last week with no issue and now it is labeled as “premium content” So if I want to read anything about 20 weeks tomorrow, I have to get premium?? It’s usually a short insight so to have to pay $50 for the year or $10 a month for just that, sounds unreasonable. Is this the new norm?? No premium, no content?? Just a calendar. Guess I’ll be on the hunt for a new app with more info. -
Do not try flo premium worst customer support
I tried out the Flo premium to see what it was like since they had a one month free trial. I didn’t use it much and wanted to cancel it. I contacted support on how to cancel it and they sent a list of steps on how to cancel it. I was having an issue with one of the steps where the screen would pop up blank and then disappear. I let support know and they responded with the steps of how to unsubscribe. I asked if there was a support number I could get further assistance or a manager I could be passed on to and was sent the steps of how to unsubscribe. The next day I contacted support again asking if there was a support number or a manager I could speak with and asked if they would please not send me instructions on how to do it myself since I was experiencing issues and I was unable ti unsubscribe myself. They responded by sending me the steps in how to do it unsubscribe myself again! Flo has the worst customer service experience I have ever received. I don’t think they even read my message. They kept sending me the same information. I regret ever trying Flo premium and am still unable to unsubscribe. I don’t understand why they are unable to unsubscribe me from this membership. I have never been so frustrated with an app in my life. -
Pushes you to buy premium and less user friendly
I’ve had this app for almost five years. I loved it. It was super easy to use, and I liked that I was able to log ALL of my symptoms, even weight loss or stress and mood. But within the past two years or so, they’ve pushed you to buy their premium subscription. From a business perspective, I understand. However, the app has slowly become less and less user friendly. It feels like the “buy something or get out” tactic. The interface has changed and become less and less user friendly. At this point I don’t even think premium subscribers would benefit from the interface. It’s difficult finding all the stats and graphs of your symptoms, and if I wanna look at my symptoms from the day before, or yesterday, I have to fish around and go out of my way to find my symptoms, whereas before if I swiped to the day before, it was right there. I really don’t wanna leave this app because there’s five years of data on here, and I was hoping to use it when I eventually plan on having children. But something needs to be done about this pushing you to buy premium business and difficult interface.
- Keep track of your entire cycle from beginning to end! Log all your symptoms so you know what you can expect the next time around
- Keep track of your physical activity to see how it might affect your cycle now and in the future
- View your most fertile days of the month so you know how best to plan for pregnancy
