Just got the App
I just bought this app, how does it work. What does the colors mean?
Description
The CycleBeads app enables you to plan or prevent pregnancy easily and effectively by simply tracking your period each cycle. Just enter the date your period starts, and the app identifies your fertile and non-fertile days according to the patented Standard Days Method®.
RESEARCH
This modern natural family planning method has been researched extensively in medical trials and is the only proven family planning method which allows you to manage your fertility simply by tracking your period. iCycleBeads is the only iPhone app in the world based on this method. It has been found to be 95% effective in perfect use and 88% effective in typical use.*
CRITERIA FOR USE
The one medical criterion for using this method effectively is that you should have cycles between 26 and 32 days long**. Most women do, but not all. If you are unsure if your cycle is in this range, the CycleBeads app can be used to track your cycle lengths and will let you know if your cycles are in this range.
You can also take a self-screener at: www.cyclebeads.com/screen
HOW TO USE
To use iCycleBeads, simply input the date your most recent period started. The app immediately lets you know what day of your cycle you are on, whether it is a potentially fertile day or an infertile day, and when your fertile days will occur this cycle, all based on the Standard Days Method. You can use this information to either plan pregnancy, avoid pregnancy, or just to track. This information is provided in both a calendar format and in a visual representation of Cycle Beads.
KEY FEATURES:
•A visual representations of your cycle based on the start date of your period in both calendar and CycleBeads formats
•Customizable alerts notifying you when you are on your fertile days, when your fertile window is ending, and when you are likely to start your next period
•Alerts reminding you to input your period start date or when you had a cycle outside the range of 26-32 days long

iCycleBeads Period & Ovulation Reviews
The worst
Lost my data after years of use. Don’t recommend
Love this tracker
So easy to follow, give you reminders of when your cycle is about begin, fertile and non fertile windows. On point every time.
This is the best app I have ever used.
It’s so easy and simple to use
Data Lost
I’ve been using this app since 2013. I really only used it to help me remember when to expect my period, which was helpful. (I used a different method when my husband and I wanted to get pregnant.) I continued to use the app throughout my pregnancy to keep notes about different milestones of my pregnancy. Of course, I didn’t enter a new cycle date until after my baby was born. When my cycle returned, I entered that new date (about a year after my last cycle) and ALL my previous data disappeared. This had never happened before when I entered new cycles. When I emailed customer support, they said that unless I downloaded reports, there was no way to see previous data. I had used this app for FIVE years and never downloaded reports and could ALWAYS see my previous data. And now when I want to look back at my notes to record some things in my daughter’s baby book, I can’t because for some reason, the app just decided to delete everything. Obviously there was some glitch, yet I’m not thrilled that the “development team” can’t do anything to recover my lost data, apparently. I won’t be using CycleBeads anymore.
The OG fertility tracker
I’ve been using this app for YEARS and the cycle “bead on a string” method even before that. The app is simple and straight forward. I like that there isn’t a whole bunch of other “filler” junk I would never use like other apps have. A few things that might make this app better: 1) Instructions on how the cycle bead method actually works and the research behind it. It seems some of the other one star reviews are because they don’t understand how the method works. 2) Updated graphics or the option to change color schemes. While I love the simplicity and reliability of this app, it does look a bit dated.
Good but not for short cycles
I like the app because it gives me a range, but because my cycle is shorter (just under the 26 days this app holds as a minimum) it recommends using another app. I wish I had known that going in! (Perhaps it was advertised but I missed it.) other than that it’s useful for keeping track!
Best app!! 💝
I have been using this app for almost 8 years now. I don’t know how much I paid for it, but it’s worth whatever it costs! It is simple to use and keep up with and is not obtrusive or annoying. And most importantly: it works!!! I have used the app to help us have a baby and also to help avoid pregnancy. I love this app and will continue to use and recommend it! Great big THANKS to the developers! 🏆
Best Alternative to birth control
I have terrible reactions to birth control and was so relieved to find this app. Cyclebeads Fertility tracking has been a great alternative. I’ve been using this app for over three years now and it’s been a simple, so far accurate way to track fertility. I have used it for birth control as well as trying to conceive and both times found it was effective and easy.
Seems accurate
3 month user; so far so good. I like that it indicate the days that my chances of pregnancy are increased so i can plan accordingly. Great tool for those that do not use traditional birth control.
