It's a decent app if you want to track your cycle, but the pop-ups are constant. I get at least 2 promotions for Clue Plus every time I use the app, which I don't want. I've been using the app for years, and I consistently get these. It's a little annoying, but there doesn't seem to be a feature to turn them off, unless you buy the Plus version.
A simple app that I liked at first. Cons: a lot of reminding you to pay for a subscription, a lot of scrolling up/down and left/right to add info, and a lot of the features I needed to use were behind a paywall like adding notes or cramp levels. I wish there was some customization I could add too as not every person has the same symptoms. There isn't data deletion within the app-- you have to go to the website to request the data to be removed. I prefer My Calendar.
Originally 5 stars. As of Jan 2025, it's now 3 stars. Subscription prompts are making the app frustrating and unusable. I had Clue Plus. I got it on sale Jan 2024. It was nice while I had it. I decided not to renew it because I wasn't using the extra features enough to spend full price due the renewal. Now, whenever i use the app, after EVERY ACTION it prompts me to subscribe again to Clue Plus. I've been with Clue since it first came out and I love the platform. I just need it usable again.
From a partner tracking perspective this app is horrible. My wife has a paid subscription just so I can track her cycle, and it is not obvious how to do so. It takes several minutes every month to figure out how to see the calendar that has very minimal information on it. It is hidden deep under several sub menus We have used other free apps that are much better!
The worse app, they want to make me pay accessing the data inputed by myself, l can't see my data from previous months unless I pay. The app is bombarded with ads. literally you can't have any move on the app without the whole page being blocked by ads. Plus, there is a constant push asking you to pay more. Find another app that doesn't want to commercialise your period and let you breathe.
I'm not one to write a full review, however this app gets the exception. I have used Clue for years and have always loved it....until now. It was easy to input your symptoms and period information then give you a helpful prediction for future periods. However after having my child, I returned to my well loved app to find it had changed completely and now requires you to pay for the features I once valued. I plan to delete clue for now and maybe one day I can return to find it as it once was.
I've been using this app over 10 years and they've made a lot of improvements, but they've also removed access to things if you don't have a subscription. For example, all 10 years of data can no longer be viewed by ME (the person who input the info) without a subscription, which is BS. I can't even see last month unless I scroll through the tracking calendar, which is slow and painful. I may just go to pen and paper now.
The free version is practically unusable. An ad for the paid version pops up every time you open the app, and every time you click on anything. That said, out of all the apps I've used, this on has been the most successful at actually predicting my very irregular cycles using the data I give it, not just spitting out averages like other free apps. So if you can get the paid version for $10 on sale, or if you don't mind exiting out ads all the time, it's pretty good.
Will *only* connect to wearables that they have a deal with, all of which have their own mandatory subscription on top of Clue Plus. I had used Clue years ago and recently had a greater need for cycle tracking so I came back to my old standby. I thought Plus was worth it to get rid of ads and use the extra features(that were free several years ago...). I was wrong. I want to like Clue, but it refuses to connect to my wearable or integrate with Google fit, now tracking is same as other apps.
Yet another period tracker full of pop-ups and offers. I can deal with that, but I find it so obnoxious that no matter how many things you click through, it has a permanent unread notification counter on the app icon. Just to make you want to check it more and potentially buy into the premium version. Tracker is functional just the same as all the other apps. But the needless articles and promotion is predatory.
Accurate and useful. I had a bilateral salpingectomy so I don't use birth control anymore, which means I can't predict my periods like I could. I do wish I could access the night sweats tracker without paying for it. Instead I can track 4 different types of birth control, which isn't useful. Perhaps the developers could switch to something like the free version can opt into x amount of trackers, but to track more you pay for it? Then it can be a little more tailored.
I like the app itself for what it is, and have been using it for several years now. But like several others have said several times, the Clue team needs to find a happy medium between advertising your subscription but also backing off with the ads for it. I am going to stop using the app entirely at this point because Every Single Button I press pops up an ad. Otherwise the app is very helpful for keeping track 👍.
The pop-up advertising for their subscription has made the app generally so annoying. It has been "90$ off" for over a year, never a moment it wasn't at least that. I'm sure that is just to convince newcomers that they have an unbelievable deal. I used to absolutely love this app, but this is really getting on my nerves. Just make the price affordable rather than pretending it's on sale. I'd consider the subscription if it didn't feel shady and obsessive. I no longer recommend this app.
I had the paid version for a year while ttc and pregnant and it was great. Now I'm back to the free version and good lord the ads for the paid version are intense, and I'm really missing some of the paid versions. Also something I don't love is how bad the app is at dealing with missed/irregular periods. Once I went back to period tracking after giving birth, it started telling me my period was hundreds of days late. It did the same thing when I was on birth control that stopped my period.
I have been using the app for six months and I was loving it. Until I decided to look at Clue Conceive options. I originally was doing Clue Period Tracking. I saw the subscription requirement and opted out. I switched back to Period Tracking and now my entire algorithm is completely messed up and incorrect. I can't scroll back to where I'm currently at in my cycle and I want to cry. I've invested so much time in tracking just for the app to glitch and lose all my history. please help.
helpful for a broad picture of ones cycle. this app has some limitations in what it could track and it can't capture reasons why someone's cycle has changed for a isolated event. For example, I had spine surgery and between pain meds and anesthesia I missed a period (which is common for the surgery I had and everything involved) the app didn't really have a way to track that change so and so instead I am left with my cycle length fluctuating by a pretty big margin across the board.
First, like with every app in the world out there, I am not happy about the data collection and privacy concerns. This app appears to have a lot of wonderful features, but nearly all of it requires a subscription. There is a reasonable offer that says it's available for 77 hours. While I'm considering the offer, it's a huge turn off that so many things are denied without subscribing ahead of time. It makes me not want to subscribe at all, even if it's a good deal for the next 77 hours.
I love this app! It's exactly what I need, has an amazing and thoughtful user interface, and is more helpful than I could describe. My only suggestion; is it possible to track changes/etc. from a notification drop down instead of always needing to go into the app? I feel like I would track so many more items if that was a feature...
useful but increasingly annoying. A lack of data does not indicate a physiological change and getting a pop up like "!! there has been a change !!!!!" every time i forget to track for a day because i marked the start and it isnt over yet gets old real fast. 90% of the things the app asks you to track are nothing but clutter if you dont want to record your feelings or any cravings or whatever and just want a basic "this is when there is blood, make sure you have what you need.
If I wasn't bombarded with "buy me" ads after years of use it might be better. I have used this app for years. When I first started using it there were no ads at all. Now, there are three ads per recording when I try to use it. If it simply gave me the option to pay away the ads one time, I would rate this higher than three stars. But no, it wants me to pay for some dumb **** subscription for the rest of my life for an app that could be replaced with a notebook.
