Period Diary Ovulation Tracker for Negative User Reviews
✓ Accurate for a few months, then becomes unpredictableI’ve had this app off and on for several years. I say “off and on” because the calendar is accurate for 6 months or so, then derails itself so I have to delete the app, re-download, and have another accurate reading for 6 more months until it screws up again. I understand that it “learns” your cycle after so many periods, and will change its predictions accordingly. Well, I have a very regular cycle (5 days menstruating during a 28 day cycle, sorry if tmi) and after so many months it will change my predictions to last 8 days or longer! One time it had me down for a 14 day period! It’s too unpredictable, so I am finally deleting it for good. I’ve saved all of my dates and am trying a new app..Version: 3.6
✓ Deleted years worth of period logsI'm kicking myself in the foot for not keeping records in another place because I've been using Period Diary for years, which worked great even after Bellabeat took over. Then around two weeks ago the app had an update, and I lost all of my logs in 2020. I immediately contacted Bellabeat support, who suggested I should log in with an account to recover my information. I did as they suggested, and lo and behold I lost all my other data, going as far back as 2012. I must not have linked my Facebook with the app the past, and the support team basically said that now there was nothing they could do. I'm extremely upset about losing all this data, which came in handy in the past when I visited the OB/GYN. I'm most likely switching to another app to prevent this from ever happening again..Version: 4.0.3
✓ Update messed up the app!Hi there, have used this app for few years now and I loved it so would have rated it 4.5 stars but after the last 2 updates; all my data shows up as blank…cycle history is there but when I click on it…it shows the dates but on summary page it’s blank…moreover my predictions are gone…it says enter your dates to get predictions…I am lost…maybe time to get a new tracker 😞😞😞😞.Version: 5.0.2
✓ Was good. Now horribleI was using this app for years! But after the update it became so slow. It is useless and I have to do the monthly math myself. Why bother with this app??.Version: 4.3.6
✓ Moves Soooo Slow!Ever since I’ve updated this app a year or so ago it’s been moving extremely slow and wonky..Version: 4.4.0
✓ Not liking the recent updateI used to love this app & have used it for years. It used to be so easy to read, but I now find some of the symbols too small & not very clear, particularly the period symbol & the intimate symbol are too similar now. Please change the symbols back to how they were before the last update! :).Version: 3.8
✓ UnusableSince the recent update, this app is completely unusable. It won’t let you enter the correct days to track your cycle..Version: 5.0.8
✓ This is so disappointing updating phone destroyed all my information.I have used this app for YEARS. Today I went into the app and didn’t recognise anything, an update a changed everything to a “new format” when going to the Apple store to ready it’s not new and improved I can tell all uses it is absolutely terrible now. The previous one was clear all these little dots now are not user friendly unlike the previous which was so clear and easy to use. I’ll be deleting this app after years and years of using it problem free..Version: 3.8
✓ What even is the update?Due to bad memory and many health issues, I’ve used this app daily for over a year and a half to keep track of my general health. This new update is so painful to deal with that if things don’t change soon, I’ll be looking to move my records to another app. The list below is by no means everything; just the key points. - The key used in the calendar is a mess to navigate. - There’s no dates on entries in charts. Sporadic access to scales means knowing the timeframe between entries can be important. Eg, did I lose a kilo in two days or in three weeks? Without dates and manually searching every entry, there’s no way to tell. - Zero options on appearance. We used to have three decent ones but now we’re forced to endure one annoying one. - Changed images for everything. Half of them, I can’t even tell the difference between them in the note let alone when using the calendar or charts. The other half just don’t make sense to begin with. - The logo. There is no “B” in “Period Diary” so it doesn’t relate to anything? If it’s a company thing, remember that apps have to make sense more than they need in-your-face branding. Also, it frequently glitches regarding the intimacy heart. I’ll press it and make sure it’s coloured in, then the next day it’ll be unselected. Please fix the design errors soon. I’ve been loyal to this app for a very long time so I’d hate to have to leave and find another due to this..Version: 3.8.2
✓ Unaccessible since updateAlways pops up the error and all my records are now inaccessible..Version: 4.3.6
✓ Bring back the old versionI do not like this new update-for function not for aesthetics. I like the look of this update but I’m pregnant and have no idea where to record it now so the app which before I updated knew I was pregnant and would tell me how many days left, now it tells me I’m very overdue for a period that isn’t going to come. Let alone that you can’t even open the app without giving your consent to be emailed for products. Oh you can email them to withdraw consent but you have to email them after you accept- why can’t you even go into the app without having to say yes to unsolicited emails? Some of the features in this new upgrade make no sense as you have actually lost elements that worked very well. As the developers, I would reconsider reinforcing a few of the features you somehow decided to remove and rethink a strategy or two. I’m now looking for a new period tracking app for when I need to start tracking properly again..Version: 4.0.4
✓ This update was obviously done by a manNot liking this new update. Very weird. Was better before..Version: 5.0.8
✓ Not working after updateI had been using this app for over 7 years and just last year it began to get very glitchy and would take forever to load. This recent update with the new interface and design is not user friendly at all, deleted all previous data, and won’t let you log accurately. Unfortunately I will be looking for another tracking app..Version: 5.0.3
✓ App has completely changed and I lost all my recordsI’ve been using this app (formally named “Period Diary”) for about 7-8 years and have been happy with it. I updated the app a few days ago and it would no longer open. Turned phone off and on, then it opened and asked me to subscribe. I thought this is weird. Filled out the form and then got an email about fitness and wellness, nothing to do with period diary. Very confusing. Once I had managed to login on the app all my records were gone. Records through all of my pregnancies and info that I’ve needed in the past for specialist appointments. I’m deleting the app and using another one now as I’m not impressed..Version: 4.3.6
✓ Was amazing and simple... but disappointment Since update...I found this app super helpful for years, I really enjoyed the flower themed previously, felt organized and easy to use. But with the recent update, it’s too messy, some aspects too simplified, and overall not very well organise. It was previously quick and easy to see the information I needed and now it takes too much fiddling around to find my information. Not a fan of this new update, may consider other apps if this continues to be so displeasing to use.Version: 4.3.2
✓ 7 year userI have used this app for 7 years and have recommended it on many occasions because I loved it so much. To be honest, I’m not at all happy with the recent design update. I feel the calendar is too busy and unorganized to the eye and isn’t as easy to read at a glance. The old calendar had clear boxes like a regular calendar which was a quick reference. If there is a way to change it, I have been unable to find it. Honestly, I dislike the design layout so much, I may be looking for a new app which I hate because this app holds years of important information for me. Like most women, I have a busy schedule and I need something I can quick reference at a glance. Sorry, but the simplicity of this app was the reason I loved it. 😔.Version: 3.8
✓ The updates continue to make it hard to use.While I am happy that I don’t have to keep this all in my head or keep track in my regular calendar, the last year the app has just continued to get more glitchy, I’ve started to consider finding a new app but transferring the info would be so annoying, I hope to see some improvements soon so I don’t have to change apps..Version: 5.0.7
✓ Update makes it not user friendlyThe new update made it difficult to change your period start and end date. I’ve been using this app for 10 years and I don’t know why you have to complicate things.Version: 5.0.8
✓ Ugly, Useless “takeover” ⏳You’ve stated that you’ve “rebranded” the app icon to align it with you brand - it’s not useful for users because it is still the Period Diary hence why it was and should remain PD - now b means what amongst all the other app icons?? Users options have been minimised, nay taken away completely, regarding the style/colour theme - we used to have three options, now there is no choice. & what we are forced to use is ugly, hard on the eye & difficult to read through. The symptom icons are also difficult to decipher; yes, you could say we were used to the previous ones but it’s not just that - take a good hard & honest look at them: some images, what even are they?! and again with the colouring used it is difficult to see them, both in the calendar and graph screens. Fair enough you’ve taken over this app but there was no need to make ALL these USELESS & annoying changes just to make a point of the takeover. I will give it a month to see if you update according to all the feedback being provided by users, after which, if there hasn’t been sufficient improvement you’ve lost another loooooong time user..Version: 3.8
✓ When the Old is better than the ‘New’The old app was a lot better with greater details in a simple format. It is now basic and you are unable to put the details. For example in the symptoms: cramps - you can only select it. Previously you could select a small icon, medium icon or large icon for every symptom. This is only a feature for flow on this app. It also deleted 5yrs worth of previous data that was helpful to pass on to doctors during appointments. With the minimal detail now available to list it isn’t an accurate representation of your cycle at all..Version: 4.3.6
✓ Latest update is appallingThis has turned from a great app into an abomination across 1 update. If you look at all the comments users have now either lost all of their data or can’t now get into the app because it hangs. This isn’t a game app, this is a life app where the data is incredibly appalling for women’s health. Yet the responses to the latest bad reviews offer no useful help or assistance and most importantly no apology. I work in IT and they should be doing everything that they can now to fix what is obviously a fault that they are not admitting to. This hasn’t been tested properly. This needs to be fixed. This needs to be explained with reassurance to users that it’s going to be fixed. If this reassurance is not received this week I would suggest new users go elsewhere and existing users accept that there data has been lost and seek a better app..Version: 4.3.5
✓ The best but gone downhillI’ve been using this app for 8 years and always found it perfect for what I needed it for; simple logging and checking upcoming period dates, a quick 2 minute job. Now, the task takes upwards of 10 minutes due to the app’s complete lack of speed and constant crashing. I’ve continued to use it since all of my information is backlogged but it’s getting to the point of being beyond inconvenient and unbearable that moving apps is the only solution, considering this has been going on for months with no improvements..Version: 4.4.0
✓ What’s with the new look??What’s with the new look!? I’ve been using this app for more than 5 years and it has been easy to read and easy to use. My phone auto updated and as I opened it this morning to mark my period, I had this completely different app and look. So different, in fact that I thought they completely deleted my old application and information. That tracking has been very important for me and my doctors... The new calendar looks smaller and is difficult to read, particularly with the numbers of the month kind of floating with no architectural containment. The colored dots, I imagine, are supposed make it clean and sleek but it’s just not. It’s hard for me to see which days are which. When you make notes on a day the little dot changes to black and you can’t tell what kind of day it was supposed to be...which is the whole point of using this app. If someone didn’t like the screen on the previous version of the app, they could change the “skin” or the design. Upon looking in the user guide, it says that you can change the appearance in the settings...but there’s no option the settings menu for appearance—so you can’t. You should be given the option to have a similar calendar or other appearances to make it easier for different kinds of women to use. We are not all looking for the same vast clean whiteness. Some of us need a structural look. Also, did not appreciate the being taken by surprise..Version: 3.8
✓ Still needs workPut off updating to the new app based on the reviews. My initial view - tried to use the ‘Period Log’ but can only see 2-3 entries at a time, because other things are using up so much screen space. The old app, you could see 6 entries at a time - massive difference. What’s the point of having a log if you can barely see any of the data at a time? Also agree with the other users about the calendar - the dark pink spots and light pink spots are not distinct enough from each other. Why do you need the light pink spots anyway? Leave non-bleeding days blank? Finally, and this was an issue with the old app too, the prediction aspect never worked for me- it always bases it on 28 days. Having 3 years of data from me, surely the algorithm can personalise my predictions based on my previous cycles, rather than sticking with the 28 day standard every month, which isn’t helpful at all?.Version: 3.8.1
✓ AWFUL update and privacy termsAfter using and loving the app for 3 years, I will be deleting it. It used to provide me with a free, straightforward, and very detailed way to log my periods, all symptoms and moods, and the severity of those symptoms and moods over time. That is all I wanted from this app. Unfortunately I can’t get that anymore. The latest update is garbage; the new graphics and emojis used for logging details are so annoying and off putting. That aside, they got rid of the ability to catalog the intensity of any symptoms (i.e. back pain or acne) other than flow, which was super important to me. You also can’t input any form of birth control other than the pill. The tradeoff I got for a decrease in functionality is tabs/ads for superfluous workouts, meditations, etc. that are not free and that I don’t want, and being forced to agree to the selling of my data (hello even more ads) to even get into the app after updating. Will be deleting as soon as I copy my past data over to another platform. Not sure why they had to ruin a good thing..Version: 4.1.2
✓ Not as good as it used to beI use app for the basics of keeping track of my cycle, they updated it a while back and now it’s a challenge just to enter your start and end dates. Trying to get too flashy and ruined the app.Version: 5.1.0
✓ The most recent update ruined everythingEver since the most recent update, this app has been everything BUT user friendly. When selecting the start date of my period for some reason the app decided to chose the day before which made ZERO sense it had me questioning if I selected the right date. When I went in to manually fix it, it wouldn’t let me select the right day again! Drove me absolutely nuts but after a few attempts for it to register the day I wanted I was finally able to make the correct adjustments but it shouldn’t be that difficult.. Also, as a lot of recent reviews stated, the data I had been tracking previously for the last 10 years or so was lost. Having the ability to easily log what was happening day to day became so much harder as well and I just can’t understand why they broke something that didn’t need to be fixed in the first place! The design looks great but I’m seriously looking into a new app at this point...Version: 5.0.8
✓ Better than beforeIve had this app for around 10 years now. At first i really loved it, everything worked really well and there was tons of options for symptoms and tracking. Then a few years ago they completely revamped the app and i HATED it. It would crash every time i tried using it and wasn't as great as before. I stuck with it because i had invested so much time at that point. A few weeks ago (i think) they updated/revamped the app again. This time i actually don't mind what they've done. Everything seems to be working (finally) and there’s a lot of newer features on the app (or maybe they were always there and I couldn't find them before). I’m giving 3 stars mostly to be hopeful that this app has returned to actually being good..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Not that badNoticed the icon had changed when I looked at my phone so thought I’d have a little look. Personally I don’t think it’s too bad of an update unlike what others say, I’ve been using this app for 9/10 years and don’t remember it having much of an update in that time - the old theme was a bit dated when I think about it and this new look could appeal more to young girls/teens. I do think the calendar is a little difficult to read now with the white background and small circles for the stages through your period. Never really used the emojis and wouldn’t know just by looking at them what they mean but they’re cute. Only thing I’m not really sold on is the title being changed from P.D which is one of the things that made me choose this app in the first place, but I’ll get over it..Version: 3.8
✓ UnusableUsed this app for 7 years and now it’s almost unusable. Please provide a way to export data or update the app so it’s useable again..Version: 4.4.0
✓ ChangeI love the app, it helps log my periods and helps me keep track of when I’m due/ovulating etc. but with the change of the interface is a lot harder to read and the colours are harsh. The main screen is now a grapefruit/orange instead of a flower and there’s no option to change. The calendar is now harder to read with dots instead of squares. Overall a great app but the interface/main screen needs work..Version: 3.8
✓ Can’t find when my next period starts???I can no longer find the day count down to my next period.... it’s no brainer that this is a crucial part of a period tracker app. It’s always been on the home page, coming up right as you open the app. But now it just says “When was your last period?” (which I’ve entered) and doesn’t even have the dates for the current month in the prediction tab. So so disappointing and seems like the company isn’t responding to our messages either. Will find another app and try to transfer my data history over.Version: 4.0.4
✓ Don’t like update to log viewUpdate changed the period log view to where you can only see one line at a time for past and predicted periods. I prefer a view that shows multiple lines to see all the data on start/end dates and length of cycle without having to go to the calendar view. Updated review— there have been additional updates to the app and they are horrible. I use to open the app and it would immediately say how many days until my next period. Now it opens to asking me to enter the date of my last period. I already logged that period, so this is not helpful. The only thing I can find that says when my period might start is a green square in the calendar, which doesn’t match the date of my next predicted period on another screen. This app is just too difficult, changes are not helpful, info is all over the place. Deleted it from my phone and am getting a new one..Version: 4.0.4
✓ What just happened??I WANT MY DATA BACK PLEASEEEE It was the simplest and best app ever. I didn’t like the update but then I was fine untill I had my previous data and could still use the basic features. Since last few days I couldn’t see the due date and thought may be its my phone. Just now I updated the app and to my horror I have lost all the data of soooo many years. I don’t even know since how long I have been using this app. I had data of almost 8-9 years. Suddenly this happens, OMG!! Where to go??? :’( I WANT MY DATA BACK PLEASEEEE.Version: 5.0.1
✓ New update is much worse!Why do they make thing a worse? Why ruin a good thing??? The home page is now useless, it doesn’t even tell you how many days are left, arghh, why do I care if it looks pretty, this is supposed to be a functional app. Going to Period Diary Pro, straight forward and easy to use. How disappointing! Did you even bother asking users what they would like????.Version: 4.0.4
✓ Most recent update, deleted everything!The most recent update wiped my years of data and logged periods. It’s very frustrating considering I have used the app to track my periods for over 3 years. On top of that, the new setup is not easy to navigate or understand. Completely disappointed..Version: 5.0.7
✓ ConfusingIt’s so confusing I tried to put down my period days but it wouldn’t let me wouldn’t recommend at all had to delete this app and upload content on another.Version: 4.0.4
✓ Used to be great. Not a fan of the update.I’ve used this app since 2014 to track my cycle and endometriosis symptoms, and LOVED the reliable simplicity of it. However, since the revamp I find it unusable and will be looking for a replacement. Aside from the invasive new data farming terms that you must agree to in order to use the app, it is now super laggy (particularly the log and calendar), and I don’t find the new use of emoji-symptoms cute or intuitive. The emoji choice doesn’t make sense to me, and the ability to record severity of symptom has been completely lost. This was particularly significant for how I used the app. I’m also not trying to get pregnant, so the countdown to ovulation (in place of the “next period” countdown) on the home screen is not what I need to see. I’m sure there’s a market for it, and for the “coach” wellness subscription tab, but I didn’t need the bells and whistles and really wish I could undo the update and go back to the previous version. I rated 2 stars because at least my data is (mostly) still there..Version: 4.3.0
✓ App is not loadingAfter the take over a few years ago the app became really slow but after the most recent update many things including setting won’t even load at all. I have been using this app for close to 15 years and I can’t see any of my past cycles anymore. The things that are responding right now such as the calendar take at least 30 seconds to register each click. I hope this gets fixed very soon. It would be a pity to have to start over on another app.Version: 5.0.3
✓ Don’t know what you are thinking with the changesI have used this app for many years and have been very happy with it! However a few days ago my app updated & no I HATE it! I use the tracker not just for tracking my period which was my primary use but also to keep track of the times me & my partner try for a child & also document other things that I find useful however now the calendar is so unclear with dots that are not clear or aesthetically pleasing. Whoever thought this was a good change really has no idea. I am now trying other apps & I will be deleting this one. Shame!.Version: 3.8
✓ What happened..?Used this app for years, now it’s completely unusable not user friendly and terribly glitchy. Just disappointing..Version: 5.0.8
✓ If I could give zero stars I wouldI have been using this app for 7 years and loved it. Recently it’s been taken over and revamped. 7 years of my records have been deleted without any option to save it. I have contacted customer service (developer don’t bother telling me to do the same when you reply) to retrieve my data at least for the last two years, as I need it for medical reasons. They haven’t been unable to retrieve my records but have made me feel like it’s my fault as I didn’t record symptoms and “it’s like finding a needle in a haystack” . Surely the developer has a lot to answer for. The uses clearly downloaded this app to record there information for a reason. Developer: why did you delete everyone’s information???? Or at least prompt them to save it, before logging onto your new app setup!! This is now hard to use. They have totally destroyed a perfectly working app with no consideration of current uses..Version: 4.4.0
✓ Would’ve given it a 5 before the updateSince the new update, I can’t even go on the app anymore!.Version: 4.1.0
✓ Terrible, terrible design!I’ve used this app for at least 6 years and it’s been excellent. I updated the app last month and instantly regretted it! This now has the worst layout / design of any period tracker I’ve ever looked at. The grapefruit is ugly. The dots are unclear. All my years worth of previous period data does not show in the calendars and I can’t understand it at all. Whoever made this design let alone approved it needs to be demoted. Revert back to the previous version. I’m now browsing for an indefinite period tracker app replacement after all these years.. thanks a lot! Not..Version: 3.8.4
✓ Love but dontI use to love this app but now it’s lagging a lot, app is up to date but don’t know what else to do.Version: 4.4.0
✓ Not as good as it used to be.I have been using the app for years and absolutely loved it, it was spot on and easy to use and I recommended it to all my female friends. Since the revamp of the app, it is not a easy to use as before and the design is not nice. When in period log trying to see cycle predictions it doesn’t come up until you go back to the home menu and click back into the log which was never like that before. The timings are off too, it used to right within a day or 2 of predictions, now it’s 4-5 days out. After trying to use it for the last month, I feel if the app remains like this I’ll have to find a new log which is sad as I have been using P.D. for at least 6-7 years..Version: 4.0.2
✓ Used to be greatAs with the other reviews, I used to like the app a lot, but with the new interface it’s just much less clear to use. Also the forum page has completely disappeared. Still use it for tracking as it has my past data on it but super disappointed with the changes that have been made..Version: 3.8.4
✓ Terrible updateThis new update/rebrand is shocking. I have used this tracker for YEARS and had no problems whatsoever until this new update came along. It is difficult to read everything is pink and white the calendar overview is confusing and doesn’t show an actual overview of when you actually have your period? I don’t know if this is a glitch or if it’s just meant to be like this.... I’ve given it a chance for a few months in the hopes that these kinks would be straightened out but nothing has improved. Bring back the old interface it was much more user friendly..Version: 3.8.4
✓ Would have given it 5 and half 🌟!I have loved this app for so long! Until last month when it all changed. I wonder if the app editors have ever heard the old adage, “Don’t fix it if ain’t broke.” For the most part they kept the layout the same, but changed the look of everything. 🤬 Before, you could look at the flowers and they were so cute, you knew exactly what emotion they reflected. You didn’t have to read the emotion to guess what it was supposed to represent. It was fun to keep daily logs. Now the emoji faces are so ugly and stupid looking, everything is a guess. The calendar hurts my eyes to look at now; it is so confusing. I hate the look of the whole thing! I wish it would just go back to the way it was. If it doesn’t get better soon, I’ll have to start looking for another app. What a shame because this one used to be perfect!.Version: 3.8.1
✓ Update erases your data!!! DO NOT UPDATE! FIND NEW APPI have been using this app for well over six years to document my cycle. I was forced to update, I wasn’t allowed to see or open the app and the update erased all of my history, data, and notes. There’s absolutely no excuse for that. If you had good developers, this should’ve been caught before deploy. The new app was not an improvement. The new interface is not user-intuitive or user-friendly. It is clunky, and requires way too many clicks to do simple things. No more simple cycle tracking. Time to find a new app..Version: 5.0.3
✓ What have you done?I used to love this App because it was so clear, colourful & you could see at a glance where you were with your monthly cycle - imperative for those of us going through Perimenopause and irregular cycles. I’m sorry to say that your most recent ‘orange segment’ update Sept 2019, has made it extremely difficult to know where you are in your cycle. The graphics (or should I say non graphics), and coloured dot system are confusing to say the least. So sorry but it is just not as easy on the eye as the ‘flower petal’ graphic was and after years of use I’m afraid I am now looking elsewhere to log my data..Version: 3.8.1
✓ Gone downhillThis app used to be great, but since the last update, it has majorly gone downhill. It’s much more difficult to navigate, and much less sleek in design. The worst part for me is that with the new update, my past periods are very difficult to access in a tiny portion at the bottom of the screen. I can only see one at a time, and trying to scroll to the next one is mission impossible. The only good thing is that ‘angry’ is the first mood option listed, because that’s how I always feel opening this app. Honestly, there’s so many better apps out there. Even marking on your own paper calendar would be easier and more reliable..Version: 4.0.4
✓ Update wiped all dataWas a good app for tracking but now unreliable as all my data was wiped after the last update. I have been using the app for many years (before Bellabeat) to track my very unpredictable cycle and now have no record of any cycles or symptoms which were crucial for an appointment I have next month..Version: 5.2.13
✓ Stopped working after update on phone. Lost years of info!!!I have used this for years and depend on it now to know when certain times of the month are going to happen. After an update, nearly 8 years worth of Information I have input have disappeared and the app doesn’t open. It says ‘the custom token format is incorrect. Please check documentation’. What does this mean and where is all my info???. I cannot even access it past this stage anymore. Such a shame to have lost all my data. Before this happened. I would have given this a 5 star. But it’s pointless as an app to me now as it doesn’t work at all..Version: 4.0.4
✓ Dishonest DevelopersI was using this period app for around 7 years and found it really useful and easy to use. However, it recently updated to something completely different that I found to be completely unusable. I contacted support who were not very helpful. So I came onto the App Store to see if I could find something more like the old version of this one which is not ideal since I’ve got years of cycle tracking data and had got used to the functions. I really just wanted the old one back and couldn’t understand why they changed it so drastically. Anyway, I found that the same developer is now selling the old version of the app for £4.99! I think this is appalling. To offer this as a free app for years and allow users to input all their data and get used to using it, with not an ounce of transparency or any announcement that you are going to push them onto a different app that is nothing like it. Just so you can push them into paying for the old version. It’s dishonest and really bad skills. Support did not even tell me this is what had happened when I contacted them so there is literally zero transparency. Would not have had a problem paying for the app but I don’t really want to hand over money to such dishonest developers. Shame on you guys for treating long term users this way! Disgusting!.Version: 4.1.0
✓ The last updateThe last update is really beautiful but I lost all data from the last 10 years. I need that data back 😭😭😭😭.Version: 5.0.7
✓ Updating app deleted ALL my data :(Updating this app completely deleted years of personal information I recorded in this app! I contacted bellabeat and they tried to find my information but could not find any as I did not have an account?! However I have been using this app for several years and previous updates did not delete my data. There could of been a warning to say updating will delete your data if you do not sign up! I am so devastated as I used this app as my diary as well and was tracking my periods etc down to a tea. It was a great functional app (I absolutely loved using it) but through a simple ‘update’- it wiped everything and nothing can be done to retrieve my information! :( Makes me realise you can’t trust any app... especially this one. One star is because I used to love using this app...Version: 4.3.0
✓ Bad UpdateI’ve been happily using this app for a few years now but there was a recent update (a month ago ish?) and it changed more than just the look. It completely took away the day you ovulate and just tracks your most fertile week. I wish I had both again. And there is also the way you put when you started your period. It is really confusing and it makes me double check a lot of what I do. It’s no longer user friendly. If y’all can please bring back the ovulation day shown and make the period tracking days easier to input. (If you start your period the day before and you didn’t put it on the app until the day after, it is more confusing when you finally input it.).Version: 5.0.8
✓ I’m done!!!I have been a user of Period Diary for over 6 years now. My period was super irregular when it first started (I did sports), so this app really helped to keep track of my cycle. The calendar was easy to view and I could quickly track how my period was going. The symptoms and mood emojis were clear and cute. The fact that you could pick your own background made it really personal and down to earth. It was honestly the best app ever. However, ever since Bellabeat took it over the app has just gone down hill. The first update left the calendar too small to read, insignificant colors and ugly pink marshmallow symptoms and moods that came off as a poor attempt to “keep up with the times.” Now, as if that weren’t enough, the new update has deleted all of my information. Six years of tracking forever gone because you all couldn’t leave well enough alone..Version: 4.0.4
✓ Terrible since updateBeen using this app for years. I updated it and all my period logs and history has been deleted. So disappointed. Will not be using this app anymore.Version: 4.3.6
✓ Reinstalled Period diary pro insteadTo all of you who don’t like the update (I didn’t like the interface as it wasn’t as user friendly and harder to read), look up “period diary pro” on the App Store for the original app. You can then register by going to settings and enter a password, this saves all your information and you can download the original app and resync your saved data..Version: 3.8.4
✓ Waste of time and effortI had this app over 5 yrs ago to track my very irregular periods and the fact I’m peri menopausal. I’d had 2 previous updates that kept all my data but the last update wiped out all my data for the last 5 years, I contacted bellabeat but they are unable to retrieve my data as when I had the original app I never had to give my details ie email, bra size, etc etc now I get spam email and cannot unsubscribe without signing up to a third party????? Total crap way to get your details, be warned. All deleted except for emails that are just being sent to spam folder.Version: 4.4.0
✓ Update disappointingHave used this app for years and it was amazing, especially through our fertility journey to have all my information logged. The new update is terrible. It looks pretty but the functionality is bad. It was so hard to log my last period and have gone in to see it’s not even there now? Very hard to use and read. Please revert back to the simpler, user friendly option..Version: 5.1.3
✓ New brand is ridiculousBellabeats doesn’t make the app easier to navigate or better looking. Really b. as an app logo? Is it called “beriod” ? What do Grapefruits and or oranges have to do with female menstrual cycle? The colour scheme is remarkable undesirable to look at and makes me want to delete the app. After being with period tracker for about 4 years, I would like to have a choice to safe my data and leave..Version: 3.8
✓ App went downhill in 2022Been using this app for well over 5 years. It was simple for data logging, and predictions were bang on. Since Sept 2022, the app has gone for garbage. I’m lucky if I can even get in, to log my data. If I wait at least 5 mins, the app loads, and my data is there. I’m super unhappy that I’ve been forced to change to a new app. DEVELOPERS, FIX THIS APPLICATION!!!.Version: 4.4.0
✓ Used to be greatI’m devastated I’ve been using period diary since 2014. Today I went to open it and noticed it was gonna and replaced with this crap. None of my data ported over. I just lost 8 years worth of health information. I can’t log in because I don’t have an account- never needed one. Why change a good thing to something worse. I’m so so sad. Now I have to either pay to see if I can get my stuff back or find a new one. 😰.Version: 4.3.6
✓ Bad updateI’ve used this app for a few years, and this latest update is just useless. It’s now more about conceiving rather than keeping track. There are many reasons why women keep track of their period that has absolutely nothing to do with having children, and it’s kind of insulting this app has whittled us down to baby making machines. The home page used to say how many days late you are or when your period is due. Now it just says “fertile window”. Please sort it out..Version: 4.2.0
✓ Deleting this app nowThe last time I used this app was in Jan when I added my last cycle. I’ve used this app for years w/o issues. I used the free version because all I needed it for was to help me keep track of my cycle. I came back today to check and see how much longer I have since I’m not regular. I can sort of gauge a window of time for my next cycle. Anyway, I came back to having to answer so many questions. No “skip” allowed. And if I’m using the free version, you don’t need my age or any other info from me. Then it asks me how I want to “log in”. Never had that before either with the free version. So now, I have to start over with a different app. Some may see this as no big deal, and maybe it’s not. However, it wasn’t broke, I feel you should have left it alone. And you don’t need my info..Version: 5.0.4
✓ Lost all my dataSo annoyed I had the previous version of this and then it updated to this which is basically rubbish and in updating all my data was lost. If I want what I had before I need to pay £4.99 - all my data that I have been inputting for a few years has now gone. Really really annoyed - there was no mention that this would happen as it just happened after an update. There was no warning that I would lose my data. I am not paying £4.99 for the pro even though the app was brilliant and no others compare to It mainly on the basis of them losing or hiding my data until I pay for it. It is utterly wrong. The previous app developers must have sold it to Bella beat, screw you you money grabbing b@$#*%}$!.Version: 4.1.2
✓ Not easy to useThis app used to be pretty straight forward. But since the last update it makes absolutely no sense. It took me 20 min to figure out how to log the start of my period, and another 20 a week later to figure out how to log the end of it. It is not intuitive AT ALL anymore. And I cannot for the life of me find the list of all of my previous periods anymore. It used to be laid out in a nice list of start and end dates. Now it’s all cycle lengths. That may be important to some but when I go to the doctor they’ve never once asked me about my ovulation or fertility. Just the first day of my last period. I don’t even know how to answer that question anymore. And the calendar is marked with red and green days. But who knows what each means?? I’ll be looking for a new app now. This one has gone down the toilet..Version: 5.0.8
✓ Glitchy & SlowI have been using this app for years much like other recent reviewers and I have found in recent months that there has been increased glitches, delayed responses and freezes on the app. I even came here (App Store) to find that the app needed to be updated. I updated it thinking “Oh! This is probably why there have been so many issues, it’s just outdated and needs an update” however, I was wrong. I updated the app and the new design and images are really nice and everything is more lively and colorful on the app however, there are still issues with trying to click on items to select it and there is a delay or difficulties to make changes. And weirdly enough it won’t even let me choose the day I’m presently on. It will only allow me to look at the calendar up to the previous day. So really the update was useless, I guess it is just the app. Unfortunately, I guess it is time to get a new app. I really need a reliable cycle tracking app and this one no longer works like I need it to..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Use to love this app. But it’s very slow nowEver since it updated to the new interface, it’s incredibly slow. You can do anything without a 30 second delay. I use to use this app to track every period but I ended up switching apps because it’s frustratingly slow..Version: 4.3.6
✓ AnnoyedI’ve had this app for around 5 years and never had issues. I updated it yesterday and I can’t even open the app anymore..Version: 4.3.6
✓ Was brilliant - now awful and inaccuratePlease put it back the way it was! I want to open the app and see ‘x days until your period’ not have to go through the calendar/predictions log to find out. Incidentally the calendar shows 17th as next due date whereas the prediction shows the next due date as the 24th. Also very strange that this app now calculates 24th Jan to 27th Feb as 26 days - what? I have relied on and loved using this app to track symptoms and changes, and after seeing all the complaints (5* gone to 1* in most cases) I thought the developers may address these issues but it appears not - they haven’t even been acknowledged. Such a shame. The app is so bad now..Version: 4.1.0
✓ Terrible Layout!!!!I recently did an update on my period pro app and it changed to this app instead snd it’s dreadful to read. I was going to find another one to use but then found my period pro one I already had and downloaded that again as I’d already paid for it. I now have to put all my periods for the past 5 years in it and I’ve lost all my notes I’d made in the calendar section which is frustrating. I have never written a review for an app before but this app change is not easy to read in the calendar section as it’s all dots of different colours and the period pro had big boxes for each day and I’d paid for the app. Hopefully I can use the old one still or I will change to another one altogether. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Everything seems to change for the worse..Version: 3.8
✓ Accepting the termsThis app was actually okay until I updated because nowadays apps just shut you out until you update them. Anyway, I actually do not agree to all of the terms, specially the ones mentioning using my personal information for their gain and/ or being able to hackle me with ads pushing whatever products. Also, I did not wish to login through my Facebook since I specially signed up with a designated email. Having me go through FB is crossing the line for me due to the information they could gain from their backdoor access. Unfortunately, I have the dilema of been using this app since my early high school years (at least) and have created MANY notes (due to my cycle and its antics). Agreeing to terms and policy may be “standard”. However, the terms laid before me were not okay with me. It is wrong to *force me to agree OR *I lose all of my data*. It’s invasive, and to use the threat of someone “losing” there data is pure crap. It has the options laid out as if I can choose what to agree to, yet I could not move forward with using the app UNTIL I clicked to agree to ALL of the options. A small disclaimer states that I can withdraw my consent at any time, but as soon as the app was open, it stated that not agreeing to the terms could “possibly” result in *lost data*..Version: 4.1.1
✓ Update made it uselessThe new update has made the app completely useless. It used to predict period length, ovulation, etc by using your previously entered data and averaging to give a relatively accurate prediction. Now you have to manually enter in your period length, ovulation dates, etc. this is useless. Not to mention the new app is not user friendly and is super confusing and hard to read. The calendar has no grid lines and is really hard to use. If this app is not returned to its original format, I will be finding a new app, which is really frustrating since I have years of data in this app and I’ve started peri menopause and really needed my old data to help me make sense of my new crazy cycles. This app was perfect before. You didn’t improve it, you ruined it. And you’ve inconvenienced every one of your loyal users..Version: 3.8
✓ Still waiting for you to bring previous skin back😫Please please please!!! Get it back to the previous skin! The previous one, before the update, was very easy to understand. At the first glance, you already know when you’re expected to have period, when you’re fertile/ ovulating, etc etc. This updated was a backward move of PD. Even the icon— “b.” What happened???? This used to be my very trusty app and it’s very serious for me because husb and I rely heavily on calendar method!🥺😪😞😩😒😤😠😡.Version: 3.8
✓ Previous version much betterThe new update makes the app look like a generic period diary app. Before you could rank symptoms with 3 intensities which was great for keeping a track of, now there’s just 1 emoji setting. Old version would get a 5 star rating... Maybe a new update with emojis or symbols that allow you to measure pain levels again would be okay, or the option to return to the previous version and have the choice of a “classic” theme or a “modern” theme?.Version: 4.0.4
✓ Terrible if you’re trying for a babyDespite using this app for several years and therefore having years of my data- the app defaults my period to a 28 day cycle - which can be super frustrating. In addition to this - for some months me and my husband have been trying for a baby and have checked the day of ovulation religiously. With irregular periods this has been a nightmare to track but assumed by tracking them all it would calculate the right day each month- couldn’t have been more wrong! It’s given me the wrong day each month for the past months - and I’ve only noticed this by downloading another app and getting an ovulation testing kit! Wouldn’t recommend to anyone trying for a baby or anyone with an irregular cycle !.Version: 3.8.4
✓ UnhappyThe apps calendar is now really hard to read. It hurts my eyes trying to go back and track. It’s not clear and very hard to use. The old calendar design was much better. For that reason I can no longer use it without getting a headache and frustrated. Old design much better. New design very disappointing that an app that I had been using for years up into now has become incredibly difficult to use now. Will be using another app. Also not being able to send my information which was very important to track is also another thumbs down..Version: 3.8
✓ SlowReally slow to load every time you reopen it..Version: 5.0.7
✓ Recent update has screwed up the appI’m using this app since 2014 and it has worked well always. I updated my app recently and the predictions changed weirdly. So, my next period is due on 25 November (and the one after on 23 December) which is still correctly shown if I open the calendar in this app. But when I open the period log/predictions it next period is shown as 15 December. What’s the logic here. I tried raising it with support but they themselves are unfamiliar with their own app and were only asking stupid questions. It has been a wonderful time with this app but now it’s time to say good-bye..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Disgraceful change to privacy policyI just went to log into the app and am forced to agree to all your privacy in order to get in or retrieve my data. Not good enough. I do NOT Vincent to you using my personal data for anything and I think it’s disgraceful that after using the app for 4 years this is what you are now doing. I understand that you are giving me the option to “accept all” and then change by emailing you, however by the time I have emailed you and you have completed what I asked, it would be too late as you would already have started using my information..Version: 4.0.4
✓ Go back to the layout of old!I absolutely hate this ‘new’ layout with the graphs and dials etc. The layout from a few years ago was so easy to use and I had used it for so long. And then a new update came through and since then every update has just made it worse and worse. Stop trying to make it look fancy and just get back to basics. I’m going to start looking for a replacement app to switch to which is user friendly instead of out to impress the tech gods..Version: 5.1.3
✓ Not happy with update!The red dot and red heart are hard on the eyes.Version: 3.8.1
✓ Ms FI’ve been happy with this app overall. It’s updates quite frequently and has changed appearance a few times. The last being quite upmarket. However, since upgrading my phone I can no longer accessed the app. It’s says my phone is supported but I get the error message ‘the custom token format is incorrect’. As I can’t access the app I can’t find support to fix the issue. I’ve lost all my data that I’ve i out for the past few years..Version: 4.0.4
✓ All data has been wipedI’ve been using this app for about 5 years, and yesterday I found that all my period logs have disappeared. Still not back. Will it ever return? Who knows! This updated version was awful anyway, as others have said, even when viewing the period log you can only see one at a time because of the design of the screen, you have to scroll to see more logs. What’s the point if you can’t even see a pattern in your data? That’s if they don’t decide to just erase all your data anyway..Version: 4.3.0
✓ Confused and FrustratedAfter switching to this new format, this app became not user friendly at all! Dates, even through 2022 and farther back, are not listed as the correct day of the week. Plus, now when adding or editing a note it’s attaching itself to the wrong date. On top of that, it doesn’t seem like notes that were added in the past have saved correctly. I’ve been using the app for many years now, and I am one that will still go back and check/compare previous notes. But obviously that’s an issue if they’re not showing up or in the correct day. All in all it’s just been a very frustrating experience. I don’t want to change apps because of the extensive history on this one, but it may have to come to that if things can’t be resolved. It would be a shame to have to transfer everything in my history, or lose years worth of data..Version: 5.0.4
✓ Glitchy, Slow, No Updates..The app is unbearably slow to load anything. Anything you click on there is a 30 second delay for it to respond. Nothing loads. I even paid thinking it was the free version but even that was slow. I was told new updates would fix the issue but there’s been 2 updates and no solution…. Please fix this…..Version: 4.4.0
✓ Super slow, can’t use half of the featuresI’ve had this app for over 10 years and for the first few years it was a pleasure to use. Then the app had a rebrand - and since then it’s been absolutely useless. The only reason I still try to use it is because it has 10 years of my data stored in there. Half of the features are unusable because the app will just crash off, and it takes ages for it to load up and actually acknowledge what I’m tapping in there. If there was an easy way to move all the data over to another app, I’d be deleting this one straight off my phone. Not worth the hassle.Version: 5.0.3
✓ Glitchy and crashes constantlyI have been using this app trouble free for many years to track my period, to predict when my next period is due and keep notes. Then everything went downhill when the app changed names. I lost my data because I wasn’t a registered user and it no longer predicted when my next period was due (a BIG disappointment). Despite these things, I continued to use the app but it just gets worse and harder to use with each update. The latest one keeps crashing and is next to useless now. Will be looking for something better..Version: 5.0.0
✓ Everything disappearedI’ve been using this app for many many years and I needed to get a new phone. Once I got my new phone and re-enterred my password etc the whole app look and even name changed (I even went in and paid for the other app that looked more like the one I had been using but this one cost which my other one was free and on my phone already called period diary and after paying that one didn’t have my info either) AND all my past several years of period tracking all disappeared and there was no one to even contact to find out what happened so now I’m completely starting from scratch which this information should be stored someplace but I cannot figure out how to access it bc the app doesn’t have any contact us or chat place to ask questions or get assistance. It’s so frustrating to have it work great and then all my data be gone overnight. I had it tracking my period to the day but now it’s all messed up. I’m so annoyed by this.Version: 3.8.4
✓ What happened to this app?I just updated the app and nothing makes sense anymore! All the little buts and pieces of info are gone. The days don’t match any calendars! Months are screwed and I can’t see the details I had put in painstakingly through years! Why did you have to mess with this app?.Version: 5.0.0
✓ New Grapefruit Style and Frustrating Dots!I’ve used this app for the last 6 years and loved it, until now. I despise this new interface because it’s difficult to read and look at with all the dots and so forth. It looks too busy and not at a glance friendly. Go back to old interface because I hate this so much that I’m gonna find a new app..Version: 3.8.1
✓ Update gone wrong?I’ve had this app for more than a year now. I really loved it. I could track a lot of things on it as well as put in notes. Even if I forgot to start the tracker, I could always back track. This new update doesn’t allow me to back track, or start with continuous tracking, if I try to start it a day or two later. It is only start and stop. And if I’m in the middle of my week and I start the tracking late, i can’t adjust it until after my time is over. Therefore it’s not tracking me anymore. I love the new look, but disappointed in the downgrade of certain features. Will see if I continue to use it since I did love it in the past...Version: 5.0.7
✓ AMAZING APPBRUH THIS IS THE SIMPLEST PERIOD TRACKER!! IVE BEEN USING IT FOR 3 YEARS NOW!! SAVED ME FROM PREGNANCY SCARES!! PLUS ITS FREE AND THERES A FORUM!! AMAZING!! Update (28/02/2022) - they updated this app a couple of years ago and it’s not same. I’ve been using this app since 2015 and it use to look like it was developed in 2008 and that was peek performance which is what made it so good!! Now it lags and data gets altered. The only reason why I won’t change apps is because I’m too lazy to transfer my data..Version: 4.3.6
✓ Functions are slow to loadI have been using this app for years but in recent months it has started to take such a long time to do anything on it. It’s lags to add a period, it lags to open up the calendar and to view your period history. Is there something that can be done to allow it to function at its previous speed?.Version: 4.3.0
✓ Please put the old design back!I understand that Bella has decided to redesign everything so it goes with their brand, but now it seems foreign and less intuitive. I don’t like that the calendar only uses a color key now — the icons or pictures that were used before were much more helpful. It was more friendly and I prefer the flower. It was simple and intuitive and reliable. As women we wouldn’t want to suddenly switch gynecologists so why would we want our private little app to suddenly have a new face, and for it to have been resigned as part of a bigger purpose - to sell a brand/goods/services? When I click on app support it goes to the Bella website. That’s not a link to the developers. I don’t feel comfortable with this new look and feel at all. And the comforting flower really didn’t need to turn into an acidic citrus fruit. I spend so much time clicking on tabs and not really seeing things as well as I did with the previous version. If it’s not broken don’t fix it. Nobody said this new version is better. You released the change to benefit your business, not to benefit your users..Version: 3.8
✓ Used to be goodUsed this app for many many years and had no problems with it. It was easy to use. For the last year or so the app has become almost unusable. I keep waiting for them to update it to be functional like the way it used to be. It takes forever to load, to enter data, to change tabs, to scroll the the app and see the features. Went from 5 start to 1 star..Version: 4.3.6
✓ DisappointedI have used this app for at least 4 years. I loved how discreet it was and how easy it was to work and use. But the app recently had an update and now it is horrible! Before it just had initials now it says clearly PERIOD DIARY. Why! It could have stayed with just the initials. The app is now so confusing to use! The calendar physically hurts to look and confusing to read. I am so disappointed and now how to input my information into a new DIFFERENT app. I use to suggest this app to friends because of how easy it is! No more!.Version: 3.8
✓ Needs fixingI have loved using this app over the years. I cannot remember how long I have had it, but I believe I started using it before the birth of my oldest who is now 10 years old. There have been many changes and updates since then and all have been great until now. I don’t know if there are bugs to work out, but the last few updates have completely messed up the app. It keeps duplicating period logs, not showing dates for my period logs, the calendar is not working with the other tabs, it’s not registering I am on my period after clicking I have started, the log is saying I have finished my period even though I am still on it, and the calendar is showing I am on my period but isn’t registering the periods correctly. As someone who heavily relies on this app to keep track of my periods and ovulation day, I am tempted to start looking at other apps. IF they can fix the problems I will happily continue using the app, since until the last few updates this app has been great..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Doesn't Track Period AnymoreThis update was the stupidest thing ever I've used this app for years and now I'm downloading various others to transfer all my information to. The main purpose of the app can't be easily found anymore. I've no idea how to read the new calendar because it doesn't tell you anything about how to do so. There is no clear label telling me when my next period will start. I've pretty much just guessed which means I may as well not use an app. If I could undo the update I would gladly continue to use this app but as it is I'll be looking for something else. The page of predictions doesn't even list the current month so unless I look at it a month early I've got no idea when my period is due to come..Version: 4.0.4
✓ Do NOT update latest version!! Crazy SLOWI have noticed lately that app has has quite a few glitches. Then today, I updated (not knowing I needed to plus I was searching for other reliable period apps). So I updated thinking this may help. It looks like the app is incomplete. I select icons that take me no where. I select a day and it takes me to the previous day. More glitches than I was prepared to handle. I am bummed because this app has years of data to track prior symptoms and now I am in the market to search for an app for better fertility and pregnancy tracking. It’s unfortunate this new app is malfunctioning even after closing it multiple times. I will keep it but will not be able to use it unless the issue is fixed!! Please fix the latest versions. I only saw a few improvements when it worked for a millisecond but for now it will be used as archived data to pull from for a new and better functioning period/ovulation etc app..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Bring back the old layoutThe old layout was much more easier to read now its hard to see the difference between when your due on n what’s a normal day etc... I recommend adding a feature where you can personalise each thing with a colour of your choice on the calendar e.g on the calendar the dates show up red whe your on your period or dark green when ovulating and light green when your fertile n another colour for the rest of the days etc ... having it all the same colour is pointless and hard to read.Version: 4.0
✓ TerribleI’ve been using this app for years and loved it but ever since the new update it’s been clunky and unusable. It’s confusing and deceptive. You have to pay for certain things now. I don’t recommend getting this app..Version: 4.0.4
✓ Can’t even open the app nowYour latest update sucks!!! I’m actually angry. I’ve been using your app for almost 10 years now, with all my period logs on your app, and now I can’t even open it. There goes my cycle history. FIX IT!!!!.Version: 5.0.3
✓ It’s okThis app is pretty basic and it does the job ok if you need somewhere to record your cycle. I feel that it all looks very childish and could do with revamping. It’s also quite difficult to see an overview of your cycle... I would like to see a feature that allows you to do something similar like export the data in a spreadsheet-type format. Without this I can’t really use it for medical reasons and find myself having to record things separately sometimes so that it’s easier to refer to later..Version: 3.6
✓ No funciona!La app no funciona desde las ultimas actualizaciones!!!.Version: 5.0.4
✓ New icon not nice..I really don’t like the new icon since the update. What is b meant to stand for? Sorry guys but it’s really ugly.. Update: Now I know b stands for Bellabeat I guess. I deleted this new version and downloaded the old version with the purple flower and perfect interface, confused why it’s still available but very happy! Sorry but I hate this new version..I don’t like the calendar or the app icon with the ugly lower case b and a dot after it, or the yucky calendar, I do like the grapefruit showing the number of days left though. But everything else, dislike immensely, hence deleting and going back to the old version. I hope they don’t get rid of it...Version: 3.8
✓ DisappointedI’ve had this app for 8+ years!! I used to love it, but slowly over the last couple years I hate it and this new update has made it so so much worst. I think it’s time I find a new period tracker!.Version: 5.0.0
✓ Update issueI can no longer open the app since updating. And now I see on the App Store the app is going to look completely different. The app design that I was using looks like the Period diary Pro now - with costs $6.99. I just need to be able to access my period tracking for the last year. It’s essential that I get that info. I’ve used it religiously for years, and now I can’t open the app or access any of my info. Please help!.Version: 4.3.6
✓ New update ruined the appI didn’t really love the last update of the app, but continued to use it as had year of data to predict my period. Just went to put in my current and I can’t get it to work. Too difficult to use. I see the videos, which is interesting. However as I can’t use for the basic function I need it for to log my period I have made the decision to delete this app and try something else..Version: 5.0.8
✓ Some good and badI’ve been a user for so long. And updates are normal, like updates help fix bugs, and make the app match new styles of the company and apps. But there was a recent update that I myself and others don’t really like. The “log your symptoms” has changed so much. And now all I log in is if my period is heavy, light, medium, if I have acne, blackheads and consolation, and my mood (confused, angry, and calm). Like wth! Those are my only options. Before I could log if I was hungry, if I had back pain, am I bloated, how bad is my constipation, etc. Oh and before the update I could log in my notes etc! I honestly wish this new update kept the format of the others for the symptom thingy because this is the only app that I can use that doesn’t say it’s for 9+ and has chat rooms, and videos on “educational” thingssss. Please take this into consideration before making the next update..Version: 4.3.2
✓ Used to be greatI’ve used this app for many years, and it used to be the bees knees!! Now it is terrible and unusable, I can’t see my past periods, gone is the sleek design, and everything is over complicated! I even tried emailing the support team and ask them to at least fix the past periods screen visibility to which they more or less said that they don’t care. It is a shame that after many faithful years I have to look elsewhere for a better app - that is actually fit for purpose. I don’t recommend this app to anyone. Bottom line - functionality went downhill FAST, and is basically completely useless now..Version: 4.1.2
✓ What were you thinking??? Oh yeah, make money.I’ve used this app for such a long time and it’s been easy to use and very accurate. I can’t believe how horrible the new update has made it. The dots in the calendar aren’t easy to understand/read quickly. The flower that looks like a blood orange isn’t exactly appealing either. I get that this is a period track but does the coloring have to be that obvious? You can’t even change it to a better alternative. It is a little suspicious when you look and find the old version appears to be on offer, only if we pay to use it. What a slap in the face that is. Will that change too once your loyal customers cave and buy into your premium app??? Please listen to the users and make changes ASAP..Version: 3.8.1
✓ Please expand appThis is truly a great app. It can be a little confusing at first but this is about periods - we’re all confused - yes??? Anyway - I would love for the developers to expand this app into the perimenopause/menopause area. I’ve been searching and searching and there’s not an app that bridges from menstruation and ovulation into the premenopausal time of a woman’s life. IMO - it’s a greatly needed area as women’s bodies are changing A LOT and an app like this would be greatly helpful for the user and the healthcare professionals trying to get us through this strange time in life. Please consider this - you have a HUGE population of women either in peri menopause or are approaching that time. Tracking periods and moods while in these older years can be extremely helpful while working with healthcare staff to get through it. Thx!!.Version: 3.6
✓ No option to pause while pregnantHow disappointing that an app designed for women doesn’t accommodate something that affects so many of its users. I’m pregnant and keep getting reminders that I’ve ‘forgotten’ to log a period. My previous pregnancy is recorded as a ‘420 day’ late period. Surely it can’t be that hard to have a simpler button to turn off the count of days since last period? Developers replied to my query saying they would consider it in future..Version: 4.3.5
✓ What’s with the new look?I’ve been using this app for years and have liked every little improvement, like the addition of the forum, up until now. What is this design? It’s so slick and hard to understand. Before the app made it so clear what days were period days and what day were ovulation days. Now the difference is the color of this little dot in the corner of each calendar day which appears black if you’ve written a bit on that day, regardless of what it’s designated color is supposed to be. Very confusing. I preferred the little flower emotions and the ability to choose what colors it was as well. Also why did the app suddenly remove my password when it changed versions? That makes me skeptical about this change. I’m honestly debating deleting the app and getting a different one because this app is no longer as effective..Version: 3.8
✓ Skip this app - they don’t care for your data.This app has completely gone downhill. This was my first period tracker and used to be fantastic. However, every time there is an update, something goes wrong. In the most recent updates I did, I lost 9 years of historical period tracking data, which is essential for my discussion with my doctor. I’ve contacted to advise and never receive a response. Absolutely disappointing..Version: 4.3.6
✓ Not happy with recent updatesI’ve been using this app for a few years now, and really liked it. My daughter and a few friends also use it but recently there’s been changes to the app that I’m not happy with. I believe it used to be a lot more user friendly and clear. I understand things need to change and update but change doesn’t mean getting complicated, nothing wrong with simplicity.Version: 5.0.8
✓ Not accurate for me.This app has been spot on in terms of tracking my period. However after ttc for a over a year my friend recommended ovulation sticks. I never bothered with them because this app told me which day I will ovulate. However, after using the sticks this month for the first time I’ve realised that my ovulation day is 3 days out and I’m actually ovulating when the app says I have a low chance of getting pregnant. I could have possibly been focusing on the wrong days to get pregnant all this time! This is a personal experience to me, everyone is different, but what I will say is get the sticks. I wish I had sooner..Version: 4.2.2
✓ Bellabeat Ruined This AppI used to really like this app- I found it visually appealing, and it had all the functionalities I was looking for. I personally liked being able to symptom and mood track, and found these features to be easy with the app. I also liked how customizable it was. HOWEVER, since it has been taken over by bellabeat, all of this has changed. The new appearance is ugly and makes no sense, and there is no way to change the skin (this function has been removed, despite being listed in the app description on the App Store). The icon is just marketing for the company, and has nothing to do with the app itself. The functions have been rearranged/reworked, and I find it less user friendly. Lastly, I have found the app to be glitchy/slow lately. Unfortunately, since I quite liked the app until recently, I will be exporting my data and then finding a new app to use..Version: 3.8.1
✓ HmmmUsed this for years. Was great. Now I just get a frozen screen. But if it works for you it’s a 5..Version: 4.4.0
✓ Used to be great then ok now awfulUpdates to this app have ruined it for me and lost all my saved data. Thank you for the help retrieving my data I have finally got it back but still not keen on the news version at all. Used the app for years and loved it but now the new logo is not as discreet and logging info was so much easier on the old app. Layout now awful was a straightforward app now it’s tried to be fancy and is just so off putting. The team is great and helpful but the app itself is not so good now October 2022 update has ruined this app! Every update has made it worse now it won’t keep a passcode just opens without Face ID or passcode, I have years worth of information on this app. Very poor I think after years of using this it is finally time to delete and get a better one..Version: 4.4.0
✓ Ruined!!I started using this app years ago when trying for a baby and have been using it for years since to track my periods and absolutely loved it - WHAT HAVE THEY DONE?!?!? It had a fantastic, easy to use interface, the first screen showed your period due date, it was wonderful. Since the last update it’s horribly unresponsive (bordering unusable) and the interface just doesn’t do it for me. Such a shame. If the responsiveness doesn’t improve I’ll have to transfer to another app which I really don’t want to do. To the developers - “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”..Version: 4.3.0
✓ The old previous design was way betterThank you, Period Diary, for upgrading the app into something fancy and more feminine. I appreciate your efforts to make the app users happy and want us to enjoy the app. I just updated the P.D app and get to see what's new. Now that I have seen the updated features, I find the old (which was the previous one) design more accessible, convenient, and easy to use. One thing I noticed that didn't help was the one tone color in the 'Calendar' field, the old design has an easy-to-read feature than the new one. I'm sorry I had to say these, but I hope all your efforts won't be put to nothing, some areas may still be changed for a more convenient app. Again, thank you and Merry Christmas!⛄️.Version: 4.0.4
✓ Used to be good, new update ruined itI’ve been using this app to track my period for a few years now, it’s always been a nice and simple app with a clean layout that’s easy to use. Imagine how shocked I am when I go to use it and I see the entire interface has changed? And it’s a lot more complicated now? I just don’t understand why you’ve changed the previous design of having a calendar come up and letting you choose the day that your period started. This new design is very unintuitive and also i’ve noticed the app lags now?? I have an iPhone 13 and it’s lagging, i do not understand why. Can you just add a way to revert back to the old layout? Thanks.Version: 5.0.7
✓ I’m confusedI don’t really know how to use this app so I can’t really use it, it would be helpful if it was easier to do things, like when I try to put when I started and when I ended it doesn’t give me how long to go when until I get my next period, don’t know if it’s just me 😕.Version: 3.6
✓ New look is awful. I’m seriously considering downloading another app for tracking my periodsNew look is awful. I’m seriously considering downloading another app for tracking my periods.Version: 3.8
✓ Awful bad used for many years and they changed it and it no longer worksTerrible app, had used it for many years and had many years of data due to health issues and needing to have records of everything, it worked brilliantly however the “new” version is useless and it’s not possible to log stuff easily and after 6+ months of trying I give up. If you with to add more to you’re symptoms in notes on a certain day… it wipes anything you already had on that day. Do not use this app there are far better. Sadly they destroyed this one which was much loved by many (having now seen many other reviews in here with people feeling the same).Version: 4.3.5
✓ WasteThis app used to be good. Stoped giving me predictions months ago! Emailed the developer and their answer was wait for the update. 6 months later still nothing. No one cares if you encrypt the app if it doesn’t work to begin with. But you want people to get the purchased version! How could I trust it! Update Been asked to contact the developer. If you read my review I’ve already done this. Maybe actually read my review..Version: 4.3.8
✓ Used to be greatThis app has been very handy for the last couple of years. But since the recent update, its fallen apart. It can’t handle my peri-menopausal cycle changes. Today 28/11 I tried to log the start of my period and it can’t offer me a date past 22/11. Multiple attempts all have November finishing on the 22nd. I’m off to download something else and transfer my data..Version: 4.0.2
✓ Just forced to update and LOST all of my dataSo disappointed. I had been using this app for YEARS and was just forced to update and LOST ALL of my data. I’m so disappointed I want to cry. I’ve been tracking my for health reasons and now have nothing. Before the update I would have given 5 stars. Now -100. When you update make sure it will pull all the previous data! Seems simple. So cruel. Devastated..Version: 4.3.6
✓ Bleak interfaceUpdated Review Oct 2019: I used to love this app (see previous review below) and specifically, the pretty interface, until the developers recently changed it and made the calendar so white that it is difficult to discern what is going on and when. I’m not sure why they changed something that was perfect. Now looking for an alternative app that is easier to read... Pretty Interface Feb 2019: Besides the fact that this app is extremely useful (I no longer have to manually mark out my calendar every month), the interface is just so pretty and easy to use. I love the flowers & hearts marking out fertile windows & intimacy. It also has a lot of other one-tap features allowing you to record mood, appetite, pelvic pain and other symptoms in just a couple clicks. This app was recommended to me and I wouldn’t hesitate to pass on the recommendation - Great app! Can’t fault it!!.Version: 3.8.4
✓ I used to love this appI have had this app for so many years and loved how easy it was and how I could track everything about my cycle and sexual activity but now the app keeps shutting off every time I want to update it. It’s become really annoying to use, I’m actually looking for another app..Version: 4.4.0
✓ Long time userHi, iv been using the app since 2013 consistently, to help me keep track and it has been great, until recently. Last year or so it has become sluggish to open, change tabs or pages and load my history. This is frustrating, the delayed response. Is there a reason this has begun happening? The purpose of the app is a great idea, to record monitor and be reminder or see how far away the next ones due, but I’m not happy with the delays when attempting to use it. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks.Version: 4.4.0
✓ Lost data when traveled overseasBe warned - you will lose data when you travel overseas! I have been using this app for years to track my period and it's always been good, however I am now trying to fall pregnant and tracking my cycle to assist with knowing when I ovulate. I record notes, times I am intimate and my period cycle...this info was all lost when I recently traveled overseas. Devastated to have lost this info I started again recording the info whilst I was traveling only to return home and have now lost that data too but my original data has returned. Seems it's only capable of recording data in one time zone. Thankfully whilst I was overseas I recorded my data on another app which I didn't lose when I returned home, so I'll be deleting this app now & using that one going forward..Version: 3.6
