9th May. I've downgraded my rating as I've now realised my data is gone/inaccessible. what was the point of logging my cycles?! I've been using this app for a few years and I've found it really informative. I use it mainly to log my periods, however the new update is horrible. before I could easily see previous months bleeding at a glance and now you can't see it simply. After all these years, I feel like I can't use it anymore and I'm disappointed that it's been changed. .

I've been using the app to log my cycles and read articles for a couple of years. The period journal is now more difficult to access and use. The dates on the period calendar overview are incorrect (they seem to be a day out) although when you tap on a date it shows the correct one on the 'Log Period' page. Sadly, I'll be looking for a different app to record my cycles from now on

I generally think it is a great app. Could maybe connect somehow to other apps like fitbit to get more accurate sleep and food details. The food section is really not very flexible and detailed. However, today the app is not working at all, won't let me open it, says there's a fault. I hope my data is still there when it is fixed.
