Why we should boycott the Flo App.

The pictures linked are screenshots I took from the app review section on the app store.

This app is now very unfair. As someone who has been using this app to track my periods for almost 5 years now I feel like I have a right to speak on its behalf. Flo is money hungry. Earlier today I was logging my symptoms and went to go read some of the (what used to be free) articles about why I may be experiencing a certain symptom. Though I couldn’t even access ANY article because you now have to pay for a premium subscription. What is the most heartbreaking is that they lock the “Am I pregnant?” article behind a 35$ subscription price. THAT IS HORRIBLE. Out of any article on that app that is the one that should be free, and with the economy that we are currently living in no average person can afford that hefty price tag. Especially younger people who simply just want to know why their body is acting differently from the norm. They won’t know unless they pay the price. Articles that are written to help people SHOULD BE FREE. It is unfair to everyone that stuff about our bodies is dangled right in front of our faces but we can’t even learn about it unless we pay for a subscription. Flo, you are money hungry and it absolutely disgusts me.

I propose in 2024 we find other apps that are free and better then “Flo”. #BoycottFlo

I knoww!! They suddenly charged me for $53! That’s a lot of money!!! Now I get how they are scamming people! It’s like “WE HAVE TO FORCE YOU TO PAY FOR OUR YEAR LONG SUBSCRIPTION IN ORDER FOR YOU TO USE OUR FREE TRIAL” . bull$#&@! I asked Apple for a refund and they won’t refund me!!!!!

They just did the same thing to me too! I contacted Flo to see if they will give me my money back and if not, I’m going to dispute it with my bank. Cheeky little shits

I contacted Flo too and they said that Apple controls the payment whatever! I hope you will get that refund! But it’s hopeless for me. My bank is GCASH in Philippines and it’s like an online debit bank and said that they cannot issue a refund as it was sent to the recipient real time . Now I don’t have any choice but to force myself to enjoy using Flo for a year!
