Dear Cyclers,
In the new version of the Natural Cycles app the pregnancy mode has a new fresh look. The ‘fertile window’ is presented in red scale where the most fertile day is red, and the least fertile day is pink. Read more about the fertile window and the science behind our menstrual cycle here. The non-fertile days are presented in grey.
“We want the important days to stand out very clear, even if this means that the non-fertile days come across as dull. We do this by using the contrast between a muted gray and a very vibrant red.” Quote from our head of design, Daniel.
If your ovulation has been confirmed in the app, you will also be able to see when you can test for pregnancy the earliest. This function also existed in the old app, but is now even more visually clear. If your period comes, the symbol will disappear. Read more about symbols here.
Do you have any feedback? Comment below, please! đ
I am one of the many people complaining about the new colours, which is why I found this e-mail interesting and read it. I understand the thought behind the new colour scheme, but the fact that it needs to be explained proves that it is not very well executed.
The previous colours of green and red with the complimentary yellow was much more intuitive, since these colours is firmly established in everyday life. One example is the stop light. In addition, and this cannot be argued, green and red an real contrasts to each other when grey and pink/red is not.
What you might argue on the other hand is that it is contradictory that the green represents the non-fertility and red fertility, but I never had a problem comprehending that. It was in my mind very logical before this new version.
Hej!
Jag tycker att den nya designen pÄ natures cycles kÀnns rörig och inte lika lÀtt att se i graften. Det Àr lite svÄrt att hitta i appen, dÄ det inte Àr sjÀlvklart vart allting finns. De gamla fÀrgerna med grönt, gult och rött var mycket enklare att se Àn rött och grÄtt.
Hej, nÀsta termometer som ni gör borde ha en lampa i displayen. Man ska mÀta direkt nÀr man vaknar och dÄ kan iaf inte jag för att tÀnda en lampa dÄ min sambo sover.
Tack för en grym app, sÄ skönt att inte behöva stoppa i sig massa hormoner!
Hej, jag skulle vilja kunna se vilken dag i cykeln man Àr i mÄnadsöversikten. Dvs om jag klickar pÄ ett datum i kalendern. Det gÄr inte nu och man behöver rÀkna utifrÄn dagens cykeldag. Lite jobbigt eftersom den funktionen fanns i förra versionen.
Jeg er enig i at de gamle fargene gjorde det lettere Ä skille mellom fertile og ikke fertile dager. Jeg er enig i at selve designet i en helhet er bedre nÄ, men jeg personlig ville foretrukket dette designet med de gamle fargene.
