Clue Period, Ovulation Tracker

I have used this app for years - functionality is good, does what it needs to, doesn’t always notify me before my period (😫) but overall a good experience. Have specifically come here to criticise the neverending prompts to upgrade from the free version. Completely incessant. You can’t interact with the app without it trying to get you to change your plans multiple times. I get it! I don’t need additional functionality! If I am opening your app chances are I’m already disgruntled don’t push me !!

I don’t need the payment option shoved in my face every time I use the app and I don’t want to see subscription only things listed in the daily health recording features, but other than that, it’s perfect for letting me know when to expect my periods

Clue is such a good period tracking app. Once I got clue plus is became even better but app is still amazing without plus. My whole family uses clue and the app is such a reliable source of information. Really recommend!!!!! Xx

Clue has been my go-to app for years now - since 2015! The user design has always been second to none, which could earn it 5/5 stars alone… until recently when other apps have rebranded and streamlined their design as well. However, every time I open the app, input any daily data, or toggle between tabs/functions within the app it loads a full-screen advert for their paid upgrade option. Too many ads per app use! Clue didn’t used to do this when I first got the app. I recall a lot of free content that was really informative and a pleasure to explore! Now I find myself waiting for the ads to load just so I can minimise them, over and over again, and it makes the experience feel tedious. As a result, I haven’t been inputting as much data as I used to, which then means less informative data is fed back to me. Still recommend, especially if you don’t mind subscribing for a frankly very low cost (and the pleasure of no ads) 😊

The period predictions are quite accurate however the app constantly pushes you to upgrade to the paid version on a daily basis, even multiple times a day if you access the app more than once. They also hide the X button in the far top right hand corner of the screen and don’t ensure there is adequate contrast so it’s easily missed. I suspect this is to deliberately confuse users into thinking they have no choice but to upgrade when promotional messages are displayed. I hope they consider minimising spam promotional messages and ensure a better and fairer user experience going forward.

Used Clue for over 5 years and genuinely used to be a really great, free app. Now literally every single time you get into the app or enter data ads for paid premiums subscriptions pop up and it gets very old very quickly. I also feel the accuracy for cycle tracking (particularly with ovulation) in my experience has dropped a lot in the last few month and has become very off and not a reflection of my cycle at all or the data I have been entering. For example it keeps telling me that I am starting to ovulate when I’m on still on the last day of my period which makes no sense and I’ve never entered that data before.

I’ve been using Clue since 2013 and always spoken highly of it but over the last year or so they have slowly removed/hidden behind a paywall many features that made the app great. Adding new info onto a day has become a lengthy task compared to what it was. The app is largely not useful if periods are irregular. I now can’t access the app at all if I don’t have a strong internet connection. Can’t get more than 2 taps into a task without pop-ups asking me to pay. If I said ‘no I don’t want to pay I’m happy with the free version’ 30 seconds ago, what makes you think I suddenly want to pay now and you should ask again? I have stopped updating the app because every new update gets worse and worse despite the overwhelming response from other reviews/users that share my opinion. It’s a shame that the decade of happy customers and positive reviews on the app store cover up the most recent 1 star reviews as those old reviews no longer reflect the current apps functionality.

Stop. The app itself is fine, and an ad every now and then I get. But anytime I do anything in the app I get a disruptive pop up. I don’t want to pay.

I love it

It’s not what it use to be and there are better apps now then this. Sorry Clue
