Glow - Ovulation and fertility tracker
Hey ladies!
I know many of you are using ff to track your cycles and whatnot, but someone recommended this other app called Glow and I just downloaded it to my phone this morning.....it's a free app and so far seems to be quite good. I'm going to mess around with it a bit later on when I have more time to do so, but what I've seen so far, I like. The cool thing about this app is that it also gets your partner more involved in the process too....
Not sure if anyone here has used this app or has even heard of it, but figured I'd at least pass the recommendation along....

ETA: I should also mention that this has only been around since May of this year, so it'll be interesting to see how it develops (including Glow First).

Yes, I realize that FF is free too - but then if you want any additional features with them, you have to pay for it. This app seems to be 100% free and from the initial poking around on it, it looks like you can have the data you enter emailed to you as a pdf, which I imagine would be very useful. Plus, you can have your partner install the app and be linked to you, so it gives them extra involvement in the process. Other little features too, but have to wait until after work now to check those out....
I agree about some of the other apps....there's so many to choose from, most of which suck, but the person who recommended this particular one to me actually stopped using FF after using this one the last few cycles citing better functionality and features. I suppose it's a matter of personal preference and was just putting it out there in case anyone was looking for an alternative (and 100% free) option.
I did see the other thing too about the Glow First program...curious to see how that works out for this company....

"You know you're in love when you don't want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams." - Dr. SeussSo far, so good...still waiting for hubby to install it though....he has to update his phone to the new OSX before he can install the app. He's a slacker lol
