An editorial reading of the saved reviews

Spot On was released by Planned Parenthood and was unique across several dimensions: no gendering, support for multiple contraceptive methods, and a privacy-first approach. After a major redesign, the app has nearly stopped working: users lose 5 to 8 years of data, cannot log in, cannot edit entries. Several people report that support does not respond. The product idea is valuable. The current version is a disaster.

What people use it for

Not recommended in its current state. Target audience: women with non-standard contraceptive methods and a privacy priority who now lack a working tool.

What reviews praise

Before the redesign: the only tracker with support for the ring, implant, and other non-pill contraceptive methods.
No gender labels and no forced pregnancy as a goal: a valuable position for this audience.

What reviews complain about

Years of data lost after the update, documented across dozens of reviews.
Predictions are broken: the algorithm averages incorrectly and does not learn from history.
Missed pills or a new pack start date cannot be corrected.

What users experience

2 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

I like this app because it was created by planned parenthood. Because they're a well known reproductive health organization, I am less worried that my data will be shared or sold.

2022 update: I am in perimenopause and have menstruated only a few times since 2019. I have been very careful to add my information here every time I get it or have spotting. I just got it again after many months How many? I can't tell, bec
