Lively ~ Cycle Syncing, Period

I love this app so much! It’s super helpful. My only complaint is the max day of bleeding you can input is ten days at a time. My period this last time lasted 11 days (nothing out of the ordinary,) but I can’t track the 11th day because the app doesn’t allow more than ten days. I love everything else! But I do ask that this issue is quickly resolved and that the days of traceable bleeding is expanded.

Ive been looking for a new, more mature period app for a while now.. no more pink and cluttered information please.. the app has a very sleek minimalist design and the free version I have includes all the information I'm interested in (basically just wanting to know what phase I'm in and how that will affect me) you can tell it is woman founded and I really hope you guys keep going and make the improvements needed to succeed! this app has so much potential and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens. My own suggestion would be maybe a dark theme?

My parter showed me this app a few months ago and at first I was was really excited and looking forward to all of the features the app provided. That was until I tried using their promising feature, partner syncing. It simply will not allow two women to sync up as partners. So hey, if their language surrounding the app hinting at the inclusivity of “syncing” up with your “partner” appeals to you, but you’re in a wlw relationship, maybe you should avoid, because they only mean that for hetero couples.

Let me start off by saying I NEVER review apps. I’ve probably tried every single tracker on the App Store most of them mirroring each other. But THIS period tracking app????? Freakin life changing. Most period trackers just tell you how far you are from ovulation & your period, but lively gives you an incredibly interactive experience that helps you every day of your cycle. As someone with PMDD it’s extremely helpful because I feel so frustrated & ashamed of myself during my luteal phase. The encouraging messages, throughly researched tips & dietary advice are so amazing. It makes me feel reassured & like trying to manage my period is possible and I’m not crazy lol.

I want to love this app but I’m not quite there yet. I do think it has potential though, if they care enough to keep investing in it. 1) insights needs to be way better. We are logging SO MUCH data and nothing is actually tracked other than our cycle days. They said this was coming in late 2024, but so far zilch. 2) widgets need more options. Silly that the only options are a quote or a rotating list of semi applicable options 3) recommendations should be more refined. Lots of things get recommended at all stages of a cycle, either change the language to make it specific to a stage, or do a separate section for general hormonal wellness. 4) bugs. Lots of bugs that are being “worked on” and “looked into” but no solutions I don’t see myself renewing next year if not improved. I’m reaching a point of diminishing returns

Used to be. When I first downloaded it, it did everything I wanted. I could see all of my statistics displayed in multiple different ways (how basal temp has changed over time, every sexual activity and associated notes; etc). Unfortunately some recent update has rendered it unusable.

Love this app. It helps me keep track of my needs during specific periods of my cycle. I just recently started experiencing a bug with my lively board widget, the box just shows up blank.

I’m confused because I thought this app would give me insights into correlations between symptoms and things I do. I’ve been using it for months and it feels like I’ve just dumped data into the app and have gotten nothing useful in return. It’s mildly helpful in tracking where I’m at, but that feels super standard. I felt the whole time like I must’ve been doing something wrong?

They said I would get a 7 day free trial and automatically CHARGED me $29.99 and the REFUSED TO REFUND ME. Additionally the app is completely useless. You can get this basic information for FREE. NOT WORTH $29.99. I should have read the reviews before downloading.

Only writing this in hopes for improvements. I really want to love this app and continue to use it but the cycle predictions are realllllly off. Therefore I now use two apps. E.g. flo says I get my period in 5 days and this app says 19. I logged my last period the exact same day. Flo has always been right. To say that I’m getting my next period 10 days late is a stretch. Thank god I wasn’t using this to help with fertility lol. Anyway this is something for dev. Please improve as I am a paying member. Other than that the information is helpful. P.S. my periods are very regular. I have PMDD which is why I rely on these apps.
