Please fix slowness and glitching
Honestly loved the app until it started moving like a snail. I swear I have to wait a full minute before anything loads. I don’t remember it always being this way…
Glitchy. Cannot use
The app glitches on certain features when signing up and makes it unusable. I really liked the idea of the app mainly because of the aesthetic but it froze when I attempted to add past data and when the data was incorrect the edit function did not work. The app also froze on the “buy premium” screen, how convenient! Looks like I will be deleting. Maybe if I see an add saying they’ve made the UI better I will reinstall. Sad to see such a pretty app be such a dumpster fire.
Good.. until it wasn’t
Was great but then randomly wanted me to start paying for everything that use to be free. Whole reason I left Flo period tracker was cause it started making everything cost money so I switched to this one and now stardust is getting greedy just like any other period tracker. Everything about making more and more profit these days.
Thins app sucks
Y’all this app doesn’t even let me sign in like What the heck
Not good
Idk if it’s just mine but it won’t let me click the okay
Ngl bad
Would not let me put in my correct birthday
MISLEADING: Does NOT factor in hormonal birth control
I loved the idea of this app so much that I paid for it - then I realized that it does NOT factor in hormonal birth control, even though you can choose hormonal bc methods to add to your profile. Being on hormonal bc completely changes your hormone levels, thus should change your monthly line graph and symptom predictions, which it does not. The fact that this app only works for naturally cycling or pregnant women was not clear before purchasing and is not mentioned anywhere in the app description. Customer service is firm on their no refund policy. I feel scammed.
This app is becoming a money grab
I used to use Flo, but after all the controversy came I switched to this one. It was good until everything started needing to have a subscription to use certain functions. This “glaze into the past” one is stupid just ridiculous. Why do we have to pay to see the darn past. These developers are becoming like every other app. “Made for women by women” yeah right.
No option for gendered language
This could be a great app. However, the developers have provided no option for female users to be referred to using “she” or “her”. Their (plural) attempt to use inclusive language has *excluded* those of us that don’t subscribe to recent gender ideology. This is unacceptable for a period-tracking app and does not advance women’s interests.
Money Hungry
whats the point of logging symptoms if i have to pay to see them later on 😂
It won’t let me put 2014
So I got my period when I was 11 but when I put 2013 instead it won’t let me put October 20
Inconvenient, too many manual data
I absolutely hated this app. Especially when it's advertised like you can easily transfer the information from Flo (no, you can't. And it doesn't read screenshots correctly) Too many unnecessary manual data must be fixed which we'll take me HOURS. So, no, thank you, Flo is easier and better (the design here is also too much, not dyslexia friendly for sure)
Charged After Cancellation
★☆☆☆☆
Imagine being 15, getting your first paycheck, and then finding out a period tracking app took $37 from your account after you canceled the free trial.
I deleted the app because it wasn’t worth keeping. Apparently it was worth keeping my money, though.
Would not recommend.

meh
the app is good, i do recommend but the notifications they send are gross and vulgar and almost piss me off more when i’m on my period.
Meh
Based on the reviews I thought that this would be great however I can only use an apple account for it and mine does not work like that so I cannot use it☹️
Misandrist and childish ad
Your ad on YouTube was extremely sexist and honestly the most immature thing I’ve ever seen.
very slow
it takes foreverrrrr for the app to start.
Poorly Built Tracker
Used consistently for over a year, and despite my cycles being just about the same length every time, stardust always managed to miscalculate and never updated the length in accordance to my symptoms or previous periods.
Limited info for the free subscription
I once relied on this app for its clear and comprehensive cycle tracking, history, predictions, and mood insights were all presented in a visually appealing and intuitive way. Unfortunately, recent updates have severely diminished its value. Most of the features that made it useful are now locked behind a paid subscription, leaving only the current day your cycle assessable for free. This shift is deeply disappointing. If you’re considering this app for meaningful tracking and insights be warned, nearly everything worthwhile is now apart of a subscription.
Takes to long to open
I’ve tried Stardust and I like the concept however, to just open up, the app takes a few minutes doesn’t matter if you have full bars Wi-Fi it’s the same every time quite annoying going back to my calendar so much better
horrible user interface
the app itself is fine. i like the contents of it; better than any other period app. but it takes SOOO LONG to work, whether it’s wifi or 5G, it’s so slow. and it keeps asking me if i want the notifications on. I’ve clicked no 10 times. STOP ASKING ME EVERY TIME. utterly awful user interface. please do better
gotta pay to use the app!
it would be a cool app to use if i didn’t have to pay! you have to pay to use everything now a days! how are we supposed to experience using this on our periods when not even a week in i get the notification that i have to pay to access everything in the app. Ridiculous!
…
It was one day late and the day it said mine was I prepared but it did not happen but the next day I had mine and I thought it was just another fake app so I did not prepare and I blend through my shorts
Fell off
It was amazing. Then one day I go in to see my past cycles (it used to let you see all your past data and forecasts for free) now it says it needs my money to do it. So disappointing to sell out like that. Gotta find something else. Or track on a calendar myself.
Money seeking
Used to be a good app until they hid everything behind paywalls.
Extremely disappointed
I repped for this app. When it came out I was so entranced I got all my girls on it, feeling like it was only going to get better. Not only did you guys get somehow worse, but I can’t even look back at my prior stuff now without paying? A day prior to adjust one of my symptoms and it says I have to PAY?! This is insane! These are MY OWN HEALTH RECORDS I’ve poured into your app and now I have to PAY TO ACCESS IT?! I could understand perks, like information and etc. but this is straight robbery. I’m going back to Flo and never looking back. Stardust is dead
Annoying and inaccurate
The app is inaccurate and contradicts itself. I got a notification that my period is supposed to start today when the calendar itself says it’s not supposed to start until tomorrow. Even that’s probably not accurate because my last cycle was longer than this. I don’t get it.
Importing is impossible
I wanted to try this app but it won’t use my screenshots from my other tracker. Waste of 20mins trying
I wasn’t even able to use it
I was born on July 21 2013 and I’m a 12 year old girl trying to track my period because I wanted to be able to use it and I can’t find any app for my age because I have to be 13 but I’m 12 and jsut wanted an app for me and I’ve been seeing so many adds and good reviews and jsut wish I could use it
I just wish the app would open
I really wanna like this app, it’s pretty cute and I like some of the features but good God there’s been multiple times where I’m sitting in the doctor and they’re asking me when my last cycle was and I’m sitting there for however long trying to open this app and it just doesn’t launch. Like that’s my whole purpose for having the app. It literally takes forever to load. And it’s super hard to change that first test. So I can get an accurate cycle calendar it literally wouldn’t let me change my cycle so it kept saying my period was coming like 10 days before it actually was even if I plugged in my cycle dates. it’s just buggy and flat doesn’t work.
