Flo Period & Pregnancy Tracker
How does Flo's prediction engine adjust to irregular cycles?
Flo doesn't assume a standard 28-day cycle; instead, it learns from your logged symptoms and start dates over about two weeks to adjust your fertile window. In testing, it was off by only one day compared to ovulation strips, making it more accurate than manual guessing.
What symptom tracking categories does Flo offer, and how do they show patterns?
Flo lets you log specific symptoms like cramps, bloating, back pain, and mood swings. Over time, the app displays patterns—for example, it can show how your sleep quality dips three days before your period starts, helping you plan your week.
Why does Flo sometimes freeze when I log a symptom late at night?
This is a known lag issue where the app freezes for a few seconds before saving entries made late at night. It's not a crash, but restarting the app or logging symptoms during the day can help avoid the delay.
How can I stop Flo's annoying notifications, like the 'Check in' alerts?
You can turn off all alerts in the app's notification settings to avoid reminders like the 9 PM 'Check in' prompt, especially if you've already logged your symptoms. This keeps the app from feeling intrusive while still allowing manual tracking.
How does Flo compare to Clue for tracking irregular cycles?
Unlike Clue, which relies on averages, Flo actively learns from your logged data to adjust predictions for irregular cycles. After two weeks, Flo's fertile window matched ovulation strips within one day, while Clue's basic tracking didn't offer that level of adaptation.
