Clue Period & Cycle Tracker

For anyone that was annoyed by the big update a few years back, the app is lovely again and has lots of customization options! It can be annoying how often you get pop-ups about going premium if you’re using the free version, but it was worth the cost for me so I don’t mind too much. It’s a kinda silly detail, but I really love the app icon options! They’re so cute and make it way easier to tell which app is which at a glance! Old Review: I appreciate the feedback from the team and it seems like improvements have been made. It’s still running a little slow (buffers before and after tracking anything) and I’m still frustrated with the whole situation (it was a great app I can’t figure out why they changed all of it??),, but I do believe that they are trying fix it and overall I still like the company. Hopefully I can bring my review back up to 5 stars soon. ——— (Original review below) ——— I loved the app but they removed two of the main features that made it useful, so I think I’m gonna have to delete it soon. The missing features are: 1. The ability toggle what you wanted to track so you didn’t have to sort through a ton of things you don’t use. I don’t want to use this app to track my sleep, or weight, or diet, or most of the other options. It takes way longer to do that though bc I can’t find the button for anything. 2. Birth control seems to be gone entirely! I used to use the app to keep track of when I missed doses or took them late and for notifications reminding me when to take it! Huge loss.

I honestly can’t thank the creators of this app enough. I’ve been using this app for years and Clue has continued to update their app to improve function and usefulness for the masses. It not only tracks your period, but just about anything else health-related, too! It follows your moods, cravings, energy levels, exercise levels, weight, acne, you name it. If you mess up with following your period, you can even go to your analysis section and choose to omit a specific cycle from your overall period tracking; for example, I forgot to track my periods for a few months. When I came back, I simply hid that cycle from in history so it wouldn’t skew my future period predictions. Even from an educational standpoint, the app offers plentiful resources to gain access to information about contraception, love and sexuality, fertility, and even postpartum symptoms. You can use this app to do, literally, WHATEVER you need—it all depends on how much information you pour into it. The more data you enter, the more accurate and helpful the app will be for you. It also helps you be more attentive to what you’re feeling and how every internal and external factor is influencing all the different aspects of your personal health. I love how expansive and all-encompassing Clue is, and it has become a staple in my own health/self care journey. Thank you, Clue!

Great app. Have used for years to track my cycle, and found it very helpful when I was trying to conceive and throughout my pregnancy. The one thing that’s missing that I think is a huge oversight is a way to indicate that you have given birth. The FAQ on their website says to just write it in the daily notes section. Not really that helpful as that doesn’t give the app any info, and I certainly don’t need a reminder. I switched from pregnancy mode back into regular mode and the app retained no memory of the fact I was pregnant, it was like “oh you haven’t logged a period in 10 months? Something’s wrong, girl.” And then for the next 5 months my cycle was very irregular, which is completely normal when you’re breastfeeding. The app remained concerned. Even now, my kid is almost a year old and my cycle has pretty much returned to how it was pre-pregnancy, the app is not very good at predicting when my next period will be because the average cycle length is still being skewed by the time I was pregnant, which the app views only as a very long menstrual cycle. This app is so detailed in everything else, it feels hilarious that they have neglected to include this. Give me a button that says “gave birth!” and another one for reporting a pregnancy loss, and make sure that information then influences the advice and expectations the app gives you in the months following. I feel that Clue could do this beautifully. They already have so much great education available on the app.
