Ovulation Tracker App - Premom

This app was great for ovulation tracking when using their ovulation strips, I also used the pdg strips to verify if ovulated and the strips were never wrong. I got pregnant in 3 months of using the system correctly. I did pay for the premium version of the app but I feel you could get away with just using the basic/free version as well and still get pregnant the same, but the premium features did help with some insights but thats it.

yes and no. I can keep track of my ovulation but the app doesn't give you the ability to add details of your own. for example I'm 4 weeks pregnant my cycle is irregular, the app says I'm 7-8 was which is inaccurate. I'm trying to add spotting and different symptoms my body is going through and the app doesn't give me the options to do so. I am paying for the app. I'm not just using the free version. I deleted it and am using a different tracker now that does give me all those options.

I liked this app a lot when I was tracking my ovulation, some stuff was locked behind a paywall, but I could still use majority of the functions. Once I got pregnant the app became unusable unless I payed for it, which i wasnt going to do when there are plenty of free pregnancy apps. Almost all the functions became locked and became confusing to navigate with the layout change.

I loved this app, been using it for months. Now it is almost useless. It can't take the photos automatically anymore. When trying manually it blurs or won't register it saying a value of zero. Still get the zero value reading when trying to upload a photo. It is also very creepy feeling that in order to use that we had to accept them have GPS access and more. Y'all don't need that. I buy the LH testing strips for the seemless integration with the app...please make the next update soon.

It tracks pregnancy tests along with a basic daily log and periods. It can read any brand of LH strips. It will chart them for you and offers a calendar view. Really nice for people with regular periods. Once the prediction time frame ends (about a year)- the app will start logging your period as if you have a 30 day cycle. You have to go back and change it day by day, or unmark whatever it logged so it doesn't count it as an additional period. It does the same thing with your fertility days.

UPDATE: now the ovulation tracker needs to collect other data from my phone and needs permission to access my GPS location!?!? This is ridiculous. You don't need any of that to let me tell you when I had my period. I like the app, but the new update has caused it to freeze and crash every time I try to save something. It's not worth my time anymore to fight with it. I'll try it again with a new update, but until then, AVOID!

I love being able to take a photo of my strip to help me determine where I am in my cycle. It is especially nice that the app will give me feed back on what I am seeing. The only con for me is that photo reader can be finicky. You need good lighting and to get most of the strip in the photo or the reader will error even if it is an obvious line.

This app was great until, as others mentioned, it would not open without allowing it to download other apps to your phone. No thanks! Sounds fishy to me. And now I have almost a year's worth of tracking data lost. Grrr. I hope they fix it. But for now, I'm sucking it up and buying a paid fertility taking app instead.

Update: I received great customer service for the issues I had. One issue (missing icons in chart) is gone, and the lower temp issue is a matter of them supporting lower (skin) temperature logging sometime in the future. It's a pretty good app, it interprets the data you enter, including temperature, and pinpoints your ovulation real-time based on that and even corrects itself if it was wrong before. A couple of things I don't like is it doesn't support lower temperatures entered (Ava bracelet skin temperature), they sometimes don't appear correctly in the chart, displaying a slightly higher temp as a drop and slightly lower as an increase. Luckily it only happens with lower temps. Also, OPK readings are ok but when editing, line colors don't match test colors.

July '22: Getting frustrated with how different the readings are for the same strip under the same lighting! It's not reliable anymore. The point of the app is to take away the guesswork, but I'm back to visually estimating TC ratio... I got this app because I absolutely love the Premom OPKs and the app scans them & interprets results for you. Awesome. I love having so much data about my fertility. And it's free. Amazing. Lots of paid options for cycle reports & ask-an-expert features.

Still doesnt work - in response to my previous review, where you must not have read my issue as you told me to "reboot my phone." i had to do that twice just to get it unfrozen after this app messed up the phone when trying to set it up. and yes, my phone is up to date. It is a Note 9. I will just stick to Fertility Friend and Ovia. no issues with those.

Good to keep track of events but it is awful at manually reading the tests. **EDIT** I miss wrote manually. What I meant was it is awful at automatically reading the tests. It always tells me my levels are at 0 when they are very distinctly not. I was hoping it would take the guess work out of me entering in the values. It does not. Also it would be nice if there was a way to show all comments or all days that a specific event happened similar to the Lh graphs.

I have LOVED prenom! Its been so easy to use and really helpful. So detailed. But it updated recently and it hasn't been able to calculate accurate t/c ratios. I used it for like 3 months before and it was perfect. Now it's giving me a whole lot of zeros when in reality it's like .5. I also started getting weird scammy notifications from the app like "we've sent $900 to your chase account "

It's a useful app. However, the constant and aggressive pressure to upgrade membership to their paid level ("find out more" in the app is code for "pay a bunch of money to get access to additional crumbs of information"), and the ever-changing nature of what you have access to with the various membership (or unpaid) levels, is really annoying. Also, the privacy policy is unnerving, and there seems to be no way to get access to your own data. Wish I had been logging with a different app.

I think this app has potential and I like the concept. However, the option to manually take a picture of your strip will more often than not result in blurred pictures that then leads to the app reading the result as consistently "low" despite the test line progressively becoming darker and darker with each day. It was also a big turn off to be forced to give an ovulation app access to my location, identitifiers, and data tracking in order to use it. It seems like an overstep and invasive.

You are supposed to be able to take photos of your tests and find you LH ratio. However, the app always just says "0" as the reading even when there are clearly two lines. I have to get into a very specific light, a blue background, dim lighting then it will read. The same strip read 0, 0.4, 0.75 each depending on the light. I would say the app is pretty worthless if you are using it to track your test results. Used to work just fine. It's been in the last 2 months it no longer works.

This app is basically useless now without the ability for automatic photo taking. The manual input/ photo more often results in blurred photos, "0"LH level or just giving random numbers. On the same test taken one after the other I got .94 and then .08..... Same lighting same background. It seems like it's just making up numbers at this point. I don't have the luxury to wait for them to figure out their own app. It's at the point where it's messing with woman's TTC windows.

I've been using this for about a week to track bbt to start. Not a super intuitive app, and it doesn't connect & stay connected to the thermometer. I've had to connect them manually every time. that being said, I have been glad that it saves the temperature long enough for me to connect it later. It also doesn't close unless I force stop it.

I thought my app was just having a fluke issue, but now I realize it's more than just me. They removed the take photo automatically option for uploading your test strips. So now, both options of taking photo manually and uploading photo are giving me issues. It either doesn't register at all and says it's a 0 or it gives me a low reading. When it's definitely higher than days before because the line is darker. It's very frustrating because this is the main way I'm trying to get pregnant.

Update: Why on earth do you need my GPS location?! Plus all the additional data tracking?! This is completely invasive. Plus, the inability to take automatic pictures. App designer needs to be fired. Won't open since update... I'm trying to track my ovulation testing and now I can't even open the app. It doesn't load past the home screen, and then times out. This needs to be fixed asap!! Everything is lost!! I'm crushed. I've used this app to track everything for a year, and all lost.
