It’s ok when it works
The app experiences occasional accessibility issues, making it difficult to log in at times.

I found it in the Samsung Health app and thought it would work on my Samsung Galaxy Watch, which isn't the case! So it's useless for me! Very annoying because I still have to pay the 12.99 euros! Unfortunately it's not available in German, so I definitely wouldn't recommend it!

I've been using this app for over a year and it's still giving me 12 red days per cycle. I've taken over 20 LH tests when it tells me to and only when I started testing when I feel a difference have I tested positive. It doesn't sync my data from Oura most of the time and tbh, the Oura cycles is more reliable even though I've only been logging that data for a few months. I'm very unhappy with this app and am incredibly disappointed that you have to pay for something that barely does it's job.

Glitch
There's a bug/glitch in the Set Up questions where I can't hit “OK” when adding how long my cycle is. It allows me to choose “I Don't Know”, however this leads to inaccurate data and predictions with my cycle and ovulation. Very frustrating. The screen just freezes, not allowing me to save the amount of days. I hope this gets fixed soon so I can get some accurate data as I pay a monthly subscription.

NOT worth the money
My period is all over the place, that's the main reason I bought this subscription. So I can be warned ahead of time but it's been so useless. It never gets the date right and the trend tracking has been absolutely useless. I don't need the constant notifications about blog posts. I don't even bother checking it anymore. Save your money, don't buy it.

Great app, but missing Dutch language option
The app works well and is very useful for tracking the cycle. Everything is clear and easy to use, but it would be great if a Dutch language option was available. There are many Belgian and Dutch users who would appreciate this addition. Hopefully, this will be implemented in the future!

Don’t trust it, I got pregnant!
I used this app religiously for over a year to prevent pregnancy and right after subscribing and paying for my second year I ended up pregnant. My ovulation and cycles was very regular and timely. It even had just sent me a message saying how regularly I was. The month I got pregnant my ovulation suddenly shifted several days earlier than normal and changed a previously green day to a red day once it detected ovulation. There should be NO Green Day's at all after your period and prior to detecting ovulation because sometimes propel ovulate sooner. I just paid for my second year subscription as well and was very careful the first year using it and always following all the rules. I'll never use this again this put a huge wrench in my life getting pregnant unexpectedly and losing the $100+ on a second year I won't even be using it and no refunds is also a huge blow! There's so many testimonies online and in groups saying how they got pregnant from this app, not sure how there aren't more reviews about it.

Too expensive for what it does
I have been using Flo for 2 years. I started using natural cycles 3 months ago and of course the temperature tracking has its appeal for more accuracy. However, I don't think $200 a year is worth it and regret paying for the full year. You can use other apps and ovulation strips if you're preventing pregnancy or tracking fertility. I will change my review of natural cycles ever lowers their annual cost for users. I feel a bit exploited spending $200 on it.

Inaccurate, poor customer service
Don't waste your money. Wildly expensive and inaccurate most months of the year-long period I had it. Would estimate my ovulation date weeks after it already happened (I used at-home tests after realizing how inaccurate it was). Then they charge you automatically for an entire year when it renews, and won't refund you even if you catch it within 24 hours. I regret ever paying for it.
