Contraceptive Ring Reminder + Reviews

The main reason I have ContraceptiveRingReminder is to remind me and keep track of when I need to take out my ring and insert a new one. I even paid for the premium subscription, but this past week it has fallen short on reminders. The day before I was meant to take my ring out it informed me that I would need to remove it. That is the last notification it gave me as it never gave me a notification the next morning and didn’t remind me to insert a new ring at all. And, yes, I did check my notification in ContraceptiveRingReminder settings and my phone settings. They’re both on. No reason I shouldn’t have gotten a notification. I used to be able to forget and not pay attention and rely on the reminders. What’s the point in having an app to remind you of something when it can’t even do that? Also always hated how the calendar feature looks and navigating ContraceptiveRingReminder is confusing and not intuitive at all. Major updates need to happen to make ContraceptiveRingReminder worth having.

ContraceptiveRingReminder worked great on my iPhone 7 and 8. Sure, there are ads, but they’re tolerable. Unfortunately, since upgrading, once I wait the 30 seconds for the option to close the Ad, I can’t do so! The x isn’t responsive! I don’t know if it's because sometimes it's located right behind the time in the upper left part of the screen, but even when it's located on the top right, it won’t close out! I've tried using reachability to bring the x to the middle of my phone to no avail. I've tried closing ContraceptiveRingReminder and starting over -- also doesn't work. Unfortunately this means I can’t confirm I've inserted my ring -- ContraceptiveRingReminder requires sitting through the ads in order to do so. Huge bummer--hopefully there will be a fix 🤷‍♀️

I have used ContraceptiveRingReminder for years now and in the latest update it is completely broken. The point of ContraceptiveRingReminder is to record when you take your ring out & when you put a new one in. As of the latest update, ContraceptiveRingReminder won’t acknowledge that you have taken your ring out. Instead it makes you watch ads for no reason & doesn’t acknowledge when you record that you’ve taken your ring out. Please fix this. This tool is very important for many women each month and it is **currently broken.**

I have loved and relied on ContraceptiveRingReminder for years to track my birth control and I’m very disappointed at how it has been ruined by the latest update. Not cool.

Anytime you click to do an action you have to either watch an ad or pay for the service. Which sometimes requires multiple times of watching the same ad over again. It’s a confusing layout and does not navigate easily. You also have to pay if you want to go off your schedule at all (I.E. insert/remove your ring earlier than what’s in the schedule). Absolutely terrible for something I can track in my own calendar. I was only using it for the notifications but after months of trying to work around it I’m frustrating and annoyed at this point at having to watch an ad at every click and not being able to update my schedule to something different unless I want to pay.

When I first used ContraceptiveRingReminder it seemed helpful to remind me to take out my ring being that I am very forgetful but the longer I used it the more inconvenience it caused me. ContraceptiveRingReminder would always remove my data and take off the day I was supposed to remove my ring. I backed up my data on ContraceptiveRingReminder it never could tell me when I inserted my ring. The last straw was when ContraceptiveRingReminder did not send any notification to remove my ring (the only job ContraceptiveRingReminder has) I clicked on ContraceptiveRingReminder to find out all my information was wiped out again leaving me clueless of when I was supposed to take out my ring. Please do not download ContraceptiveRingReminder if you a kinda forgetful like me ContraceptiveRingReminder will bring nothing but inconvenience. Just try another reminder app

ContraceptiveRingReminder has the potential to be so much better and I highly recommend you invest in it because even though I don’t have premium yet there are some key features that you are missing that were they available on premium I would definitely sign up for premium. For example, tips and educational section is a simple and easy add. Another one is having a section that says what where you may be at hormonally each day. Again, I’m not a product expert to that may not be possible but surely there are some more fun bits you could add into the pot.

I’ve had ContraceptiveRingReminder for a couple years, I loved it. Really helped me stay on top of things. Best of all I could see the calandre of the following months to see when I would be getting me period. All of a sudden I can’t view the whole calendar, the view is cut in half. I’ve tried everything to fix it including re-downloading ContraceptiveRingReminder and getting the premium version and nothing. It’s really disappointing and I’m debating on keeping ContraceptiveRingReminder .

It’s simple and easy to understand which was something I was specifically looking forward too, I didn’t want something complicated or with all kinds of extra features. ContraceptiveRingReminder is very to the point and has everything you need without even going to premium.

I love ContraceptiveRingReminder! I go to school and work two jobs and I always forget stuff. ContraceptiveRingReminder is so useful for remembering when to take out and put back in my nuva ring. Also, it’s useful when my boyfriend asks when do you have to take out the ring, and i just go to ContraceptiveRingReminder and check how many days. A great way to keep my birth control on track!

There’s a lot to worry about when keeping track of your birth control and A LOT on the line if it isn’t tracked correctly. ContraceptiveRingReminder has made it easier to keep track and control. I do wish some features were free but what you do get for free makes ContraceptiveRingReminder worth 5 stars. 10/10 would recommend to any fellow woman.

There is now two ads anytime that you try to tell the tracker you took your ring out, you have to wait 30 secs to exit the last ad and most times it brings you to ContraceptiveRingReminder Store 3-4 times and then a few days later it’s tells you, you didn’t let them know you took your ring out and have to go through the whole process again. No app is worth putting yourself through that.. sorry.

ContraceptiveRingReminder was fine, did the job to track and remind me to take out and insert on time. But I just updated ContraceptiveRingReminder and it deleted everything and the last 6 months worth of tracking is now gone. I’ve been irregular since starting on the nuvaring and have been tracking to make sure my body is adjusting and reporting to my doctor and now it’s completely gone. Not happy at all.

ContraceptiveRingReminder is super helpful and straight t the point. Reminds you when it’s time to put your ring in and when it’s time to take it out. I highly recommend ContraceptiveRingReminder for anyone who has trouble remembering what days you start your birth control

i’ve always loved ContraceptiveRingReminder and it’s helped me remember my birth control easily. But since it updated i can no longer use ContraceptiveRingReminder efficiently due to the ads. the ads themselves don’t bother me but the fact that even after i wait the 30 seconds for the ad to end it won’t close. so i’m forced to close ContraceptiveRingReminder and try again and yet the same issue happens each time which makes it impossible to tell it when i take the birth control and when i don’t and renders ContraceptiveRingReminder useless.

ContraceptiveRingReminder works great even without premium, HOWEVER, every time I update ContraceptiveRingReminder or have to switch phones, it erases all my data and I have to basically start over. This does not help when there’s an update midway through my 3 week section of having my ring inserted and now I’ve lost track of when I’m now supposed to remove it. Please fix this.

Seems like most birth control apps are for The Pill so I’m happy I found this one. Before I would have to manually set an alarm for every time I had to take my ring on and when I had to take it off, ContraceptiveRingReminder just does it for me. Very basic but very helpful

My app updated recently and when I went to check how close I am to the removal date, it was completely reset. Thankfully I could check in my bank account when I picked up my birth control and GUESS how soon after I started it, but to someone using birth control to PREVENT pregnancy, a mistake could render it ineffective. Deleting ContraceptiveRingReminder and finding another, and I guess using an old fashioned calendar. I guess technology doesn’t make things more convenient after all.

Not sure what happened. ContraceptiveRingReminder used to be great and now the reward games pop up and won’t allow me to exit them without shutting down the whole app. Thing is, you can confirm or update your insertions until after you get through a reward game that you can’t get out of. This needs to be fixed.

Switched from the pill to Nuvaring in March because my memory is trash and my schedule is hectic and immediately downloaded ContraceptiveRingReminder for an extra dose of reminders and tracking. It has been great !

Editing past cycles there is no option to choose 0 days without ring/cycle skipped. Wish I could select the day of the week on the calendar to basically say “I put it in this day, took it out that day, and put a new one in this day.” Otherwise, ContraceptiveRingReminder is useful and allows customization for your current cycle.

This is a great app except for the fact that after using it for a few days, I decided to pay for the extra upgrades to get reminded a day before putting my ring in and every single time I’ve tried to use this feature it never reminds me the day before and the setting turns itself off. Time and time again, (for MONTHS) I have turned this setting on, after paying for the extra version, and come time for my new cycle, I notice I haven’t been reminded and I go back to my settings and it’s off. What a waste.

ContraceptiveRingReminder is way too simplistic. It needs a few more WORDS to help you figure out how to navigate. I also couldn’t do anything without seeing multiple ads. I don’t mind ads on a free app but these were particularly intrusive and also seemed to cause bugs. I deleted ContraceptiveRingReminder .

ContraceptiveRingReminder is pretty good it handles the basics of when to put your ring in and when to take it out. ContraceptiveRingReminder would be perfect if it sent alerts to your phone as well as in ContraceptiveRingReminder . Since it doesn’t you always have to check ContraceptiveRingReminder to keep yourself up to date. Besides that it’s a pretty good app for Nuvaring users

ContraceptiveRingReminder itself is designed well, easy to use, and helpful. However, you get a ton of ads, and have to pay for some features. Each ring costs around $200, meaning it costs at least $2,400 per year per person. So it is absurd the company needs to make more money off of ContraceptiveRingReminder . Typical US pharmaceutical industry...

I love the NuvaRing and I also love using ContraceptiveRingReminder and it’s super convenient and reminds me when to insert and remove my birth control. It would be awesome if ContraceptiveRingReminder had a “skip period” option as well instead of removing the ring the third week. Overall, awesome app but would be nice to have more features.

I downloaded this to keep up with the insert and removal days and setting it up was easy. I don’t have any use for the premium version at this time, but I’ll consider it in the future

Kind of annoyed setting up my cycle right now. I know that I’m able to switch immediately to a new ring, so it would be 0 days I leave it out, but that isn’t an option (the lowest is 1 day) so my tracking is going to be inaccurate. Also, most of the convenience of ContraceptiveRingReminder is linked to the subscription... I’m probably just going to do it on my calendar instead 🤷🏼‍♀️

I literally just needed a reminder to keep me from forgetting to take out my ring on time and I didn’t want to add it to my calendar. Haven’t messed up my schedule since I got ContraceptiveRingReminder !

I accidentally entered the wrong insert date and there is no way to adjust it. I found ContraceptiveRingReminder pretty lame and you can just use your phone’s calendar to set an alarm.
