Our favorite thing about Kindara is that it helps you become your own fertility expert.
- Privacy
They do share data with third parties (like Facebook) as well as use your data for marketing purposes.
- Efficacy
Kindara is essentially employing the fertility awareness method, which is about 76-88% effective.
- Convenience
Kindara prompts you to log both your temperature and cervical fluid to track fertility.
The app is ideal for those who want to track their fertile days and learn more about fertility in general. If you are fertility focused, it's essential to track both body temperature and the quality of your cervical fluid (à la the Fertility Awareness Method) and Kindara does a good job at prompting you to log both every day.
Pros
There's a community feature within the app where people mostly discuss ovulation, reproductive health and birth control
You can record your basal body temperature (BBT) in Kindara with any BBT thermometer of your choice
The app's design isn't overly girly or pink
You can enter data such as sex menstruation, mood, symptoms, drugs and supplements into the app
There's a journal feature to log your thoughts and feelings along with your cycle data
You can view your cycle data in both calendar form and chart form
You can turn the predictive nature of this app off, which is helpful for those with irregular periods or those practicing the Fertility Awareness Method
You can send customized push notifications to yourself through the app
Cons
Kindara pushes you to pair with "Wink," a Bluetooth basal body temperature thermometer, which is no longer in production
