Life - Period Tracker Calendar

**UPDATE 6/5/24** I did finally get the watch notifications I was hoping for, so thanks. However, I am disappointed with this latest update. A lot of people are. Scrolling vertically through all of the categories and tags to find the right one, with the notes section stuck at the very top, is a less convenient configuration than we had, where the categories were displayed above the calendar horizontally, acting as filters to make finding and using the tags we wanted easier. The notes no longer seem tied to the tag we’re putting in at the time, which doesn’t make sense for the primary use case of this app. If I’m measuring something, then I need the note to enter the value and that value needs to show up next to the tag. In the previous version, symptoms and notes we were putting in at the same time all appeared in the same phrase, separated by commas; symptoms added at a different were separated by semicolons. Wasn’t fancy, but it was clearer than these floating, disassociated bubbles. While putting in symptoms, I can no longer click on a different day and see what was entered; I have to exit the symptom editor. That was really helpful for tracking ongoing conditions, another piece of the primary use case of this app, I would think. And the tag analysis is faulty now. I looked up a particular tag that falls under multiple categories, found the category I wanted to analyze, clicked on that item, and it just took me to a different view of my search results. Then, the category I wanted to analyze seemed disabled, because I couldn’t get to the tag analysis view. The other results in this view work, so I’m taken to their tag analyses, but when I press the back button, it doesn’t take me back to my search results but back to my settings, so I have to start the search over again. So now I can’t easily answer the question of how this particular tag’s values are changing over time—yet another main use and selling point of the app. I also just don’t like the design—the tag bubbles are huge so I always have to click “see more” and everything looks as if some big-wig told them to “idk, just make it girlier.” But I would probably not care about that if the reliable and straightforward functionality of the previous version had not been compromised. Also, what is this “health tip of the day” telling me that my uterus is going to “gently” shed its lining?!? Gently! Are you serious? Not to sound like a conspiracy nut, but all of this is starting to feel a bit…deliberat

6/2/2024 my Update for anyone who hates this new update and/or lost their data. I am now using the tracking app Clue and so far it seems similar to what this app used to be. all my data from the new life app is wrong so I’m starting fresh but at least it’s not with this app. Worst update I’ve ever seen, they changed everything. They were so busy wondering if they could they never stopped to ask if they should. I’ve been using this app for almost 10 years and loved it, until the current update erased all my data, it’s doesn’t even give me an option to find it. The whole thing looks different too. I’ve always just been signed in on my phone, never had a problem Update based on developer comments: I was able to go into the app and load a previous backup (some dating back to 2017) so I did. It didn’t help though. It still has my cycle days all wrong, it’s missing information. The great period analysis is gone, the calendar is super jumbled and hard to read now. This is a terrible update. I will not use this app anymore unless they offer a classic mode that lets you use/view it the way it’s been for years.

The app looks completely different, is way less intuitive, and restricts the notes I’m able to make to journal entries. It also takes a long time to load when opened. I’ll be looking for something better.

I used this for years, but now it won’t let me input a new cycle. So, it’s unusable.

After using this for years without issue, the last update has me heading to other apps. They have ruined everything I loved and made this yet another useless app that only cares about stealing your *extremely personal* data. All of the functionality we loved is gone. RUN to another app ASAP.

I’ve been using this app for years. I performed an update yesterday and all of my history is gone. I’m very sad because I’ve used this data for doctors appointments and health reasons and now I don’t have it to reference.

Can’t even access the app anymore after using it for years - won’t even go past the loading page

I used this is for years with the free version with no complaints.This month they updated the look of it and the calendar is awful to look at. it has both the date and the number of the day of your cycle on the same little day of the calendar but there is no line separating the days from one another in the calendar and with all these numbers all over it and it’s a mess to look at I’m deleting it and getting a new period tracker that has a clean calendar to look at with grid lines that separate each day of the month with only the date on it and then your actual cycle day number being in a circle above the calendar.

At least I can trust the data to be accurate. So disappointed. I used and treasured this app for many years, but they basically destroyed it and refused to roll it back to what it was :(

After using this app for many years, I’ll be deleting it. Extremely complicated, not user friendly now and all my data is gone.
