Aavia: Cycle Symptom Relief
authentic ratingThe only app in the set that explains the hormonal context of the cycle rather than just drawing a calendar. A daily phase notification and a hormonoscope help users understand why their mood is what it is today. The downside: some useful features are behind a paywall and the app occasionally freezes on the loading screen.
499 reviews, 69% five-stars with a text average of 4.13, the most honest split in the set. Criticism is specific: particular broken screens, a coin sync issue, and references to the original made by women marketing. High ratings describe specific features: the hormonoscope, daily check-in, and contraceptive settings.
What users love
- A hormone chart on the main screen and morning notifications describing the current cycle phase. Contraceptive tracking without a forced selection from a list. The app's tone is neutral and free of anxious phrasing.
What users hate
- No way to go back and mark the start of a cycle on a past date. The calendar screen is unintuitive
- With not all period days visible. The app freezes on the loading screen after several months of use.
Who it is for
Those who want to understand the connection between the hormonal cycle and mood and wellbeing, not just know the next period date.
