Natural Cycles - Birth Control - Latest Quality Issues
Android
Mar 23, 2025
the app is an scam. it asks you to set up your info, such as the last cycles and stuff to "personalize" your experience, then it gives you T&C in which it says the app will keep your info for up to 3 years, after accepting the T&C then it tells you you have to PAY to access the app and in the same screen suggests to delete the account .... i mean, it wasnt straightforward about having to pay for it. it now has all of your cycle info for 3 years and you get NOTHING if you can't afford the app

Inconvenient
Paid for a year, realistically never used it because it is inconvenient for me to take my temperature everyday. It renewed and they refused to refund me, bad business. Back to regular bc I go.

Great app but…
Great app but I wish there was a feature where I could log my cervix. It's height and how soft or hard it is. Also the ovulation test feature NEEDS to be updates. Something similar to Premom would be great for the price I payed for this app. There are other little things but those are the two main ones that stick out to me that should be updated with the price points it's at. I'm having to use 3 different apps when it should be all here at Natural Cycles.

It’s great except..
I loved this app before they took away the feature of telling you your patterns in emotions and physical symptoms for each month. I'm so disappointed because it made me feel like whatever I was feeling was normal! I know you can go and check each cycle for the symptoms, but when the app tracked it for you and showed you what to expect, that made me understand myself so much more.

Add an easier overlook view
The app is accurate, informative, and flexible. The only thing missing on this app than my other apps is the month x month view could be a little more insightful about when intimate days were without having to click through each day. A little more viewer/user friendly. Kind of how they show what days period flows are. Would make a huge difference in ease and accuracy.

Subscription cancellation issue (resolved with app support)
The app itself is great, but I stopped using the Oura ring and decided to cancel my membership. Unfortunately, the cancellation didn't go through as expected, and I was charged for a year I wasn't planning to use the app. It was quite frustrating, but I reached out to support, and they resolved the issue. Thank you for the help, and best of luck!

Needs an Update
There is no option to pair a 3rd Gen thermometer in the app, and it does not Bluetooth pair if you select the 2nd Gen thermometer. I emailed the company to tell them but have not gotten a response. In an effort to support the company (and avoid Amazon and the big box stores), I paid $52 for the 3rd Gen NC brand thermometer, only to be unable to Bluetooth pair it with the app, which has been an enormous source of frustration. The thermometer's extra features are unavailable unless it's paired with the app. I ensured my app is up-to-date, deleted and reinstalled it, and have no issues Bluetooth pairing other devices to my iPhone. Disappointing.

Pointless
This app is the worst, I will not be using it. It basically has just told me I am fertile for 24/28 cycle… and it's become clear that I do not ovulate, at all! So not only am I never fertile, this app can't adjust its data

Syncing with Oura
I find it infuriating that I pay a pretty penny for both the oura ring and natural cycles and it doesn't accurately keep your initial wake up temperature. If you go back to sleep or take a nap it will go by the most recent recording and you can't edit it. For accuracy you're supposed to stay within your 4 hour window.. at least let me edit the temperature. Hope they fix this in the future.

Natural Cycles places birth control into your own hands.
Natural Cycles is a scientifically-proven birth control option alongside the pill, IUD and the condom. 93% effective with typical use, and 98% effective with perfect use. The scientific study that determined Natural Cycles' effectiveness is one of the largest of its kind, with 15,000 women and 600,000 menstrual cycles. It was peer reviewed and published in the renowned journal Contraception.* 
 
 Natural Cycles is more than just a birth control app, the app Natural Cycles also helps users who are trying to conceive with natural family planning.. Natural Cycles can help you plan a pregnancy by tracking your basal body temperature to predict ovulation and tell you when you are most fertile. As you continue to enter your temperature, our algorithm will understand your cycle better and can predict ovulation to tell when you are most fertile.
 
Measure your body temperature with a basal thermometer and add your data.
Natural Cycles works by users taking their basal body temperature each morning and then adding your data into our app to help us analyze your menstrual calendar. Your temperature changes during your cycle are significant in predicting your fertile window. A basal thermometer is included with our annual subscription or can be bought as an add-on to our monthly subscription.

The app supports syncing with Apple Health.
