Natural Cycles - Birth Control - Latest Quality Issues

Useless
This app is pointless and doesn't give any refunds. You have to purchase to even try it and it's not giving anything useful. It wants me to do these challenges but doesn't explain how to do it. Waste of money

Terrible customer service
They send me defective ovulation tests and then refused to refund or replace them. It took 2 days after every email for someone to get back to me, and each time they did they were more rude than the last.

Yes 1 star. What it negates to tell you is that you have to subscribe & buy their device or use a device full stop. I don't need technology, just a tracker as advertised. Why do you make you go through the setup BEFORE finding out its going to cost £70!! Deleted account straight away.

Customer Service
The app does what it is supposed to, I will say that but customer service is terrible. My subscription was auto renewed without a reminder email a year later, and I kindly emailed them promptly after I was charged to get a refund and revoke my membership. They tried to tell me it was impossible. So I had to file with Pay Pal, they ruled in my favor. Then Natural Cycles tried to say they decided to refund me out of the kindness of their hearts, but it was really because Pay Pal ruled in my favor. The app works, but be sure you mark when it will renew or they will fight you to keep your money.

Expensive subscription, no free trial
There is a super long quiz at the beginning before they tell you that you have to pay $119 per year. Not worth it. There are other apps that are free or cheaper that can help.

Awful app
This app is garbage. There is no flexibility for pregnancy loss and the ramifications and changes. I get notified to take pregnancy tests and get reminded of my loss. Furthermore, when I try to give feedback, the app keeps giving me word counts limits!! I would not recommend Natural Cycles. Buy a basal body thermometer and fertility cycle tracking book - way better and way cheaper.

They need to be clear this is a paid app, and it is very expensive

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. OUR STORY Founded by particle physicist, Dr. Elina Berglund, with a goal to offer women an effective, hormone-free method of birth control, Natural Cycles identifies ovulation by analyzing basal body temperature, learning your unique cycle so you can get to know your body better, and know the exact days you can and can't get pregnant.
