## Review summary

Reviewers commonly cite Glow’s solid period/cycle/ovulation tracking and usefulness for pregnancy journeys, especially for long-time users. However, many note persistent ads and upsell prompts, paywalls that block or hide data history, and aggressive monetization. Privacy concerns about data sharing and a community with explicit content and weak moderation are frequent. Customer support and update quality are criticized, with reports of data loss or lag. Overall Glow remains functional for tracking, but ad-heavy design and reliability concerns drive users toward alternatives like Flo or Premom.

### Pros

- Strong core tracking for periods, cycles, ovulation, and symptoms
- Helpful for pregnancy journeys and fertility planning, with long-time users reporting positive outcomes
- Long-term usefulness and familiarity for users who have used the app for years

### Cons

- Heavy advertising and constant upsell prompts; free version cluttered with ads
- Paywalls and subscription gating that limit access to history and features
- Privacy concerns and data-sharing with advertisers; explicit, unmoderated community content
- Poor support and reliability after updates, including data loss and lag
