WHY NATURAL CYCLES? Natural Cycles is more than a period tracker. Most other fertility tracking apps assume your cycle is 28 days long, even though 87% of women have cycle lengths that don't fit into the 28 day pattern.. We understand that birth control is not a one-size-fits-all. Your cycle is unique to you! Our algorithm uses personalized temperature data to confirm your ovulation, reducing the risk of you being assigned an incorrect fertile day. Unlike period trackers, the NC° app allows you to identify your fertility status daily, so you can prevent pregnancy or plan for it with greater precision. From birth control to planning pregnancy and every cycle in between – Natural Cycles is there for you with each stage of your fertility journey. Still not sure?

PRECAUTIONS: ● Natural Cycles does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Use a condom to protect against STIs. ● No method of birth control is 100% effective.

Ratings and reviews

I love this app. It's a great tool to help you when trying to prevent pregnancy. They also have trying to conceive, pregnancy, and postpartum modes but I haven't had the chance to try those yet. Sometimes the app is a bit overly cautious with the red days but that's how they ensure they keep their high percentage of effectiveness. I've been tracking my cycle and ovulation for a while so I use it more to supplement what I already know and it does a great job. I love that it links to my Oura too.

The app design is beautiful and the tracking experience has been good as well. The whole first year was great, and then the other shoe dropped. A price increase to $150/yr to use an APP? Insane, and honestly it made me feel betrayed. This was my trusted "girl app" and now they're holding my data and fertility for ransom? I'm finding another app.

Overall, I find this app lackluster. My partner sent me this to help track her cycle and when we should be using protection. It's certainly not worth the extortionate amount she pays for it. Are the widgets supposed to do anything? When I added an NC widget to my home screen, it just constantly says "open app" and doesn't display any actual information on the widget. I don't think you all know how widgets are supposed to work. You all seem to be using them as a "reminder" to open the app.
