MyFlo Reviews

I used to love MyFlo. When I first used it I was impressed by the comprehensive approach to syncing our lifestyle with our cycle.

If only I could access these tools now. A few months ago, I had to get a new phone and had such a hard time logging in. Everytime I tried to open MyFlo I got a display that says to reset my password. I follow the directions to reset only to be shown an ‘internal server error’ message again and again.. SO FRUSTRATING.

I finally deleted and redownloaded MyFlo and finally was given the option to say ‘forgot password’ and successfully reset it through an email inbox message. Logging in with my new password finally was great! However ALL my information, years of tracking gone. Fine, I decided to start again.

Again somehow got logged out and the same ‘you need to reset your password’ dialog and ‘internal server error’ message. So I stopped using it.

Just now I went through the same process to reset and log in but now the problem I’m dealing with is the inability to edit my period. After months of not being able to log in to this PAID app, I tried to input my cycles from the last few months. TO NO AVAIL. Frustrated after trying so hard and so many times to figure this out.

I wish MyFlo worked because the information is great, but unfortunately it simply does not after several months of the same issues. Others seem to be reporting the same thing and I have not seen any improvements. Not worth the trouble.

DO NOT PURCHASE! **bad tech, shaming hormonal BC, trans-exclusive**

It’s not just that MyFlo is incredibly poorly run. It’s constantly glitching, telling me I am on two separate stages of my cycle at the same time. Tech support was no help; they only told me to uninstall and re-install my app which did nothing. They also ignored my follow up email.

What’s WORSE is that when you subscribe to MyFlo, you unknowingly pay two dollars to get shaming emails into your inbox all the time about how it is the most disgusting thing in the world to be on hormonal birth control. The content of these emails is only meant to shame women who make the choice to go on hormonal birth control for whatever personal contraceptive or noncontraceptive reason that they have, without offering solutions other than what is presumably the pull out method? It’s so despicable to me that this organization preaches bodily autonomy and knowledge for people who menstruate and turns around to shame people who make a choice in their lives about contraception. And another thing: they use only “women“ in their content, which is incredibly trans in gender non-binary exclusive. DO NOT PURCHASE.

MyFlo may be helpful for about a month, but after you use it for a month you will realize that all the content is stock and will simply repeat over and over. Moreover, MyFlo does not allow you to enter your basal body temperature, which is pretty key for tracking your cycle and fertility. Alisa Vitti has some good ideas, but this is essentially a money making app, which suggests buying more expensive “programs” to fix your “symptoms". MyFlo will “figure out” if you have certain issues with your cycle/hormones, based on very little information and a non-customizable chart of 4 period phases. The 4 period phases are correct and the issues could be correct as well, but MyFlo goes on very little information. Also, MyFlo does not allow for any flexibility after you input your initial info (say, if your cycle is shorter or longer one month, it will treat it as a problem, instead of a one-time issue). MyFlo also does not allow for the phases to vary in length each month, a problem that could be easily solved by adding the ability to track one’s BBT. Only by tracking that it’s possible to pinpoint an approximate date for ovulation. So, I would not recommend it as it is, and would hope that MyFlo improves with time.

Per the FAQ, if you accidentally schedule a cycle incorrectly there is not a way to delete it. The options are to manually edit the data or DELETE MyFlo AND CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT. How is this a realistic solution? (btw you have to go to the FAQs to even get to the edit option.)
The idea and info within the application are great and really informative. But the most basic of calendar features are far below my realistic expectations. I’ve been using Clue to track my cycles for years and enjoy it, but following a recommendation I purchased MyFlo with the intention of gaining more insight on actionable steps to take to improve and understand your individual cycle. Personally I find the design a bit flat and gimmicky towards women, in that the color palette and wording skews stereotypically feminine like a tacky tampon commercial. It just doesn’t resonate with me; women don’t need to be marketed to about having a period— it’s a fact of life and is oddly softened and glamorized in media lol. I want to feel empowered, not pandered to, you know? The content of what you can learn about your unique phases is fantastic, but so far the experience is lacking so I’m waiting on an overhaul of the interface if I’m to use it again. Because I really would like to learn the insights it could provide!

I had listened to a podcast in which Alisa had talked about MyFlo and how it included ideas for how to eat and exercise during each phase of your cycle. I downloaded MyFlo thinking that it would take a lot of the guess work out of the tumultuous relationship that I have with my cycle. I was so disappointed that the “food” suggestions are limited to three or four items, rather than the robust list that I was hoping for to help me create more meal plans from. The exercise suggestions are okay- I’ll give MyFlo the benefit of the doubt and try to implement some of the suggested intensity (or lack thereof) levels advised for each phase of my cycle to see how it affects me. I suppose MyFlo could be useful for those who make the in-app purchases, but truth be told, considering there wasn’t anything advertised upon downloading MyFlo that said “in-app purchases,” I was jaded into thinking I was getting a really great deal for the $1.99 that I paid. That just wasn’t the case. If you want the most out of MyFlo, just know that you’ll be dropping another $1k+ in addition to the cost of MyFlo .

Overall, just really unimpressed. I’ve gotten better value out of the free Clue app that I use for cycle tracking and will continue using that over this.

I want to like MyFlo. Alisa Vitti and her teachings have helped me eradicate cramps, mood swings during my luteal phase and I have learned so much about my body in the last 3 months. But this isn’t personal towards that at all or towards Alisa. MyFlo is subpar. It has erased my data 2 different times (like entire months worth of logging in information). I’ll go into MyFlo and POOF - everything is gone from the last 2 months. I’ve reached out to the tech team and their instruction led me to delete my data again, and I followed their instructions to the t. Losing all my logged in information is extremely frustrating and feels like a hugeee waste of energy and time.

I really hope they update MyFlo, make it more interactive and filled with information. I also really, really hope they’re able to fix whatever bugs are causing it to glitch and delete info. As much as I’m upset about it I still want it to work :-/ hopefully they’ll get it to be fixed soon. I have other apps downloaded that I’ll be looking at, can’t afford to lose my info again.

I’ve used MyFlo for about a month. The UX is confusing, and MyFlo kept changing my inputs for my period days. I liked that it would predict my phases, but it overrode what I manually put in (3 times). Also, when I signed up, I went ahead and got what I thought was a 2mo subscription to give it time to see how I liked it, but turns out I bought 2 memberships… why would I want to buy 2 memberships when I can only use one? Why would you design it so you could buy multiple memberships and not multiple months?? When I reached out to customer service I was shamed about the fact that I was “the only person” who ever had this problem so I just have “misunderstood”. Excuse me? I only found this out because I wanted to cancel my membership (I don’t get $28/mo value). I thought I would have another month should I want to check anything again.

The customer service coupled with MyFlo and not so great UX and data—there are better apps out there that cost less.

like many of the other reviews say, this would be such a great app IF it worked. I’m a big fan of Alisa Vitti’s work and that’s what compelled me to purchase MyFlo (it’s the only paid app i have) but luckily i have two other trackers that are reliable. A month into use and suddenly I can’t add any symptoms to my chart, and that is SO frustrating when you are ttc and having trouble nailing the ovulation window. I heard her on a podcast recently saying this is one of the top paid apps for women’s health....if that’s the case why doesn’t it work? how can you keep charging for it if you can’t work out the bugs? So many AMAZING charting apps are free and I would so rather give money to something at least trying to be what it says it is. I would buy the books over and over to support this work but at least the money would deliver something it had promised! and i have to echo an earlier review- the partner feature assumes you are with a man, which is just painfully ignorant. I’m still a huge fan of everything this brand has created, but i’m glad i have other charts to turn to and it definitely leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

As of writing, MyFlo hasn’t gotten an update in 10 mo despite a developer response that great new things were coming (a year ago).

i used to love MyFlo, but sadly had to delete. i had been using MyFlo for years to track my patterns to try to figure out some irregularities i’ve been having. unfortunately with the updates i was told that my information was permanently lost. apparently they sent an email telling people to switch over to the new app, however i don’t read my emails. why wouldn’t they just let people know in MyFlo ?

anyways this wasn’t the first time my information was lost, but it feels like the last straw to me. i can’t trust MyFlo anymore and i no longer have a way reference to the progression of my symptoms over time

i have made them aware of this issue, so hopefully they’ve taken measures to prevent this from happening again and if you’re only using MyFlo for monthly tracking, and it’s not important if you may loose your information once in a blue moon, MyFlo is probably great for you. if it wasn’t for this situation, i would have otherwise given MyFlo 5 stars.

I love the idea behind MyFlo, but there are too many glitches that go unanswered (for example, I can’t even add notes right now to each day, MyFlo is just frozen). I’ve emailed support about these glitches 2ce in the past year to no response. It’s also not queer friendly. My parter is a woman, not a man, and the language embedded in MyFlo assumes I’m dating a man. Tbh you might want to consider that a large portion of your following might be 2 queer women who desperately want to get email updates about their partner’s flo. I’m bias, but we’re loyal consumers in the period arena. I’m disappointed because this was my favorite app so far with tracking my cycle. Especially disappointed because the cost of MyFlo suggested a certain level of functionality that simply does not exist and has not for over a year. Ultimately, it seems like just a fancy ad for her book and a way to fund her work (which I’m all about! It’s important work!). Buuuuuuttttt in that case MyFlo should be free until you can afford to make MyFlo useable. Please don’t review her supplements here, as that could not be less helpful to me or anyone else browsing MyFlo Store for a period tracker app.

I have used MyFlo and recommended it to others for years. I love the functional medicine approach, Alissa’s books and the cycle syncing method. I’ve spent years inputting my data into MyFlo for various reasons as my cycle has always been problematic for me. For the last month, MyFlo will not even open. This happened once before and tech support told me they could not address it and I would need to delete MyFlo and download it again. This means that months and months of notes and data are gone! I have not put this information anywhere else except MyFlo because it was the one place I could track patterns and get suggestions. I feel very angry and sad that all these years of information are likely gone forever. As a therapist who works with women, I have recommended MyFlo to many others for the benefit of connecting mood and cycles but I can no longer do that because MyFlo is so dysfunctional. This is not what the Flo Living model is about, and I am very disappointed in the company for promising and not delivering on this. I recommend MyFlo be moved to an account rather that merely an app. If I had an account with FloLiving, I could input the information and access it via the account. As it is now, MyFlo retains my data and it is not stored anywhere else so when MyFlo doesn’t work, the data is gone. As it stands now, do not download MyFlo until this is addressed.

I had heard great things about MyFlo and was very interested to try it out for the cycle recommendations. While I do like the cycle recommendations, the options for symptoms are very limited and I’m now unable to add notes for any day that isn’t during my menstrual phase whereas I could previously. This is a problem for a number of reasons-the biggest being that MyFlo is intended to help the user cycle-sync and understand their hormonal symptoms which is not possible if the user can’t add all of their symptoms.
I also like to keep track of when I’m “intimate” with my partner. I don’t have the intent of becoming pregnant and, while I am on contraception, I find it helpful to keep track of thy activity. Having that feature could also be helpful to a user who IS trying to become pregnant.
All in all, MyFlo has the potential to be great but it’s not there yet. More symptoms and the ability to add symptoms/notes on all days needs to be added. Until then, I’ll still use (in addition) my trusty Period Tracker Lite as my go-to for detailed tracking.

Firstly, I really like the features of MyFlo. I love that it recommends food, exercise, work, and lifestyle suggestions for each phase. I also like how I can log symptoms and it gives helpful info as to why you might be having those symptoms as well as tips to reduce any unwanted symptoms.

What I don’t love about MyFlo is how glitchy it is. It regularly takes forever to load, sometimes just doesn’t load at all and I have to go delete MyFlo and then reinstall it for it to work again. It also keeps showing that my cycle is 26 days when I’ve been logging 28 day cycles for over a year now. Sometimes the calendar is glitchy and doesn’t let me end yet symptoms or change a previous cycle. Sometimes certain buttons just don’t work.

I would give MyFlo 5 stars if they solved the tech issues. It makes it really inconvenient to have an app that doesn’t work half the time. Deleting and reinstalling regularly is annoying and inconvenient too. It would just be nice to have an app that works like it’s supposed to.

I love the ability to track my cycle and journal about the symptoms I am feeling. I even love the recommendations that MyFlo gives every day. However, I feel like with how much I am paying for MyFlo, I was expecting far more from it. For example, if the basis of MyFlo is to help women see their trends and understand their progress, and provide a HOLISTIC approach to the female body and experiencing our cycles, then MyFlo shouldn’t just be another glorified “period app”.

I love the concept, but for nearly $30/mo, I’d like to see more ‘bang for my buck’. I pay for this PLUS a workout app, and that adds up over time. It would be nice to combine the two into one so I can REALLY track my female wellness journey. Therefore, I would love to see more features like a water intake tracker, and a meal tracker with a journal aspect of how the food made me feel afterwards. Also, I like the workout videos, but it would also be nice to have a tracker for how much activity I did throughout the day.

I think this app is a good starting point, but there are other factors that may bring up “symptoms” that I feel on a day to day basis that may not be “period” related (like headaches from an updated eye prescription, or dehydration), but still affect my body just as much. I love the concept, but for this to be a holistic approach to women’s health, then it would be nice to see more features than just “periods”.

I’ve used MyFlo for years but the past few months it’s gotten worse. It doesn’t seem to adjust my estimated cycle due to the current average length of cycles anymore, making it usually 2-4 days off on its estimate of when my menstrual phase will start. It used to take previous data and make better estimations on cycle length, now it seems to just be stuck at 25 days when my average cycle is closer to 27-28 days. This also incorrectly estimates my ovulation, making that 2-4 days off as well. Doesn’t seem like a big deal but now that conception is a goal of mine, being 2-4 days off is a big issue. I also liked how it used to send my partner emails letting him know what phase of my cycle I was in and how he could best support me, which it no longer does either. Unfortunately after years of using MyFlo, I’ve decided to track my cycles with a new one due to the poor calibration of data.

It does still have some good features, hence the 3 star rating. It has great advice for movement, nutrition and goals/productivity for where you are in your cycle. For that, i will still refer back to it from time to time.

When I first downloaded MyFlo, I was so happy at how accurate it was. A feature I particularly loved was how I was able to input my daily symptoms and MyFlo gave me accurate explanations for them, as well as recommendations on minimizing any unwanted symptoms. After a few months of use, however, I’m not able to input my symptoms, that includes any past or present symptoms (I like looking back to see if I’ve made any improvement). It kinda highlights the date and that’s it, I’m not able to click it. It does let you add your period start date, but I figure the whole point is to track your months progress :(
It’s a bit disappointing since I used to ALWAYS be in MyFlo, but since this started happening I haven’t been using it much (I do check every now and then to see if this issue has been fixed and unfortunately it hasn’t). I’m not sure if this is just a bug in MyFlo that needs fixing. I’m up to date on the latest version, so I don’t think its an update issue. I hope they fix it soon, this used to be my favorite app to track my period! Giving 3 stars because it worked well at one point, it’s not working now, but I’m hoping it’ll work again in the near future.

I never write reviews but I love love love MyFlo/idea enough to ask for some edits to make it even better. Only app of its kind I can really find. Would love to see it be updated in response to all the reviews.

Some suggestions:

-Right now any selection of the “Cramps” symptom under “I am experiencing” displays recommendations based on mid-cycle ovulation cramping, which is obviously a mistake. A bit annoying bc managing cramps is a major reason I use MyFlo !

-More options for tracking under “I am experiencing” for both negative symptoms and positive signs - at the very least, please add some buttons for mental health/energy like “Inattentive” “High Energy” “Anxious” “Focused” “Distracted” “Verbal” “Inward Focused” “Sociable”

-This is a long shot but would really distinguish MyFlo : Allow the tracking of more than one person’s cycle (like multiple calendars you could toggle between) - for family and friends of the user. I would love to track my partner’s cycle on the same app.

-Please disclose your privacy practices. This is very sensitive to e info and we deserve to know what’s being done with it, and to opt in or opt out.

I recently downloaded MyFlo and so far am generally pleased with the experience. I love that this app gives you specific recommendations based on your symptoms and current phase in your cycle — this is very helpful and informative. However, I would like to see more in terms of emotional wellness. For example, I would really like to see specific symptoms (and corresponding recommendations) related to mood such as anxiety, irritability, happiness, sadness, apathy, calmness, depression, etc. I believe these are important aspects of/insights into our cycles and provide valuable information about our health and wellbeing. Having recommendations for various mood-related symptoms such as these would greatly help so many women/menstruating people. I also do not love the format/functionality of MyFlo but it is user-friendly and overall would recommend. For these reasons I will continue to use my previous tracking app alongside this one, but hope to see MyFlo grow in the future and overall would definitely recommend!

Love how MyFlo lets you track symptoms, gives you recommendations, tells you what that symptom means, let’s you change the start and end date of present and past periods. Overall, I like it. DO NOT use MyFlo to prevent pregnancy, did not accurately tell me when I was ovulating. Missing features to include tracking pregnancy on chart and end of pregnancy (termination or miscarriage). Found out I was 6 weeks pregnant end of May, the pregnancy ended a couple weeks later. I am on my 4th cycle after that and my period calculator still says my cycle comes every 40+ days when it has been a regular 28 day cycle. I like MyFlo , but wish they would include new pregnancy/end of pregnancy buttons, symptoms, etc just like like the menstrual cycle info. And use this info to update the menstrual cycle algorithm. Again, DO NOT use MyFlo to prevent pregnancy. I think I ovulate much earlier in my cycle than what I thought (and what is traditionally taught in school ~14 days).

Love the concept and help but have to repeatedly at least once a month delete and reinstall bc of janky ness. Mostly, MyFlo just freezes when you click a date and won’t let you add any data.
I hope the developers continue to support it. The concerning part is that you pay for it and that issue has been ongoing since I got MyFlo over a year ago. You’d think if someone were on it, there would have been at least a few bug fixes by now.
I love the suggestions and the symptoms and break down of the phases.
I hate the calendar view and wish they made a circle/wheel view too, that feels more like a cycle to me and helps me visualize the phase better too.
I’d settle for just fixing the bugs so I don’t have to delete and reinstall about every 5th time I open MyFlo . Major nuisance.
