I’m 36 years old and this app has helped me understand my hormones and cycle better than ever! The Moody app is personable, easy to navigate, and easy to understand. I can tell actual humans are running this app. The only reason I put 4 Stars is that it doesn’t have the option to be a Widget! I downloaded another cycle tracking app just to be a widget. That way every day I can instantly see on my phone screen where I’m at with my cycle.

The app randomly started predicting a 25 day cycle which made no sense considering my average cycle length. When I make edits to the calendar, they’re initially reflected but when I reopen the app, they haven’t saved. I guess I need to switch to a better, more reliable tracker.

There is no free version of the app because the moment you try to track your moods after setting it up, unless you’re subscribed, it won’t let you. You HAVE to subscribe or else the app is useless. The main purpose of even downloading a “Mood” app is to track your moods and you can’t actually get that unless you’re subscribed.

The app is great. The only complaint I ever have is that it says ‘rise, shift and reflect’ instead of the proper terms for each phase of the cycle. They’ll send you an explanation you can go back to figure it out, but it would be 5/5 if the phases were displayed instead of using confusing euphemisms.

I the symptom tracker has been helpful and I’ve noticed a number of patterns I wasn’t expecting which helps me be more accepting and compassionate towards myself, BUT that being said, I really wish the phases were named by their legitimate, scientific name and not the cute names like “Rise” and “Shift.” It feels less empowering (and less convenient having to find the true scientific name for such phases from other sources). It’s been mentioned before and the developers have alluded to taking it into consideration for updates, but nothing has come of it Update: over a year later with multiple other users requesting the same thing and multiple developer responses, yet no changes to the phase names at all. I got a different app

They make you fill out all of your information without mentioning that a subscription is required until you are done. They should have mentioned it at the start so I didn’t waste my time. Uninstalled.

It’s a little sloppy/overwhelming to look at and use. I wish they’d simplify the look and make it more intuitive. I also agree with others that I don’t need to use alternative words for the medical terminology of my cycle - in fact, I’d rather normalize saying “I’m in my literal phase right now” instead of “reflect” or whatever. The notifications are also seemingly random. If I’m menstruating, the app says my hormones are at an all time low at this point in my cycle, however, the notifications Im getting are about going out and being social due to higher hormone levels…hello? Which one is it? My “rest” phase or not? Why is it so hard to make a cycle app that is simple, easy to use, and accurate? Also to charge for it is ridiculous. We already have to buy products for a bodily function we can’t control- now I have to pay to inaccurately track it? F off tbh. 🙃

i’ve been using moody for a few months. i like a lot of it, especially the daily check-in. but not all those who menstruate are women and the app uses exclusionary language. i’m nonbinary and i would like to continue using this app but would really appreciate some language updating.

I just got this and am liking the free version so far. I was wondering if a widget of a calendar could be made for my home screens that shows when I have checked in and when my period is predicted to be. Thanks!

I’m in my 30s and have just gotten off hormonal birth control after being on it for 12 years - I wanted to for health reasons and to just let my body do its natural thing. As my body regulates, I found I wanted to be able to track and understand my body more. This app is organized, educational, uplifting, validating and all the things I never knew I needed. I’m experiencing phases that I never really knew about or understood fully (especially going through my cycles naturally now) and I feel so much more in tune with my body. The creators of this app really put in so much work and time into curating an experience for their users that is personal and ACTUALLY helpful. Hands down favorite app of 2024, well done guys! 🙏🏼
