I had never heard of My Days until you posted. From looking at the website it doesn't seem to provide as much education and resources as Fertility Friend. Also, they are a little sketchy on how they determine your fertile window. It sys you have the option of tracking your BBT, but not that it is necessary to confirm ovulation.
Most calendar apps are crap so I would be cautious.
Not to mention the grammar issues on the website make me doubt their credibility. But who knows, maybe English isn't their first language.

I like Ovia and find it easier to use and understand.

Yeah I used to think FF was difficult but it only takes a day or so of fiddling with it to truly understand it in and out. I can't recommend the tutorial videos enough, they're really short and not boring.
I previously used my days but last month an a half I switched to fertility friend thanks to the great recommendation from the ladies here. I will not be going back to my days as it doesn't tell as much info that fertility friend does.
Me: 30 DH 28
TTC since March 2013

Back to TTC as of 8/2014
1st RE appointment October 2014, everything looks good both of us healthy and normal
@wickedsugar Please pardon my ignorance, but how is this incorrect?
I going to assume its due to the implication that all women have a 28 days cycle, which is not true.
I tried Ovia but did not like it. I O'd earlier last month and FF detected it. Ovia did not.
I have been using both and this is only my first month temping. I hear great things about FF, I just like the format of Ovia a bit better.

This!! It is overwhelming and confusing at first but once you get the hang of everything it's AMAZing. I love all the resources.
@wickedsugar Please pardon my ignorance, but how is this incorrect?
It's saying that all women have a 28 day cycle. That's bad information for an app that is supposed to help you track your temperatures to give out.
I guess I see what you are saying. They did say the "average" woman...however...the average person has one breast and one testicle
Since MyDays is so amazeballs and you will not hear anything else, they have a forum associated with the App. Maybe you would like it there...
Haha what??? I was making a joke. Lighten up! I have already said that I will try FF next month...no need to get crazy!
I am not the one over using punctuation.
You seem like a real doll. Can't wait to see you around here more.
Look, I'm not sure if you misinterpreted something but I am just here to get advice and make friends. I'm not sure why you are being so mean. I began this discussion to reach out to people with more experience. I'm sorry if I somehow offended you. If I have then let me know how so I can avoid it next time. Yes I am new, and plan to stick around...so if there is something wrong with what I originally posted then maybe you can give me some helpful feedback so that I don't offend anyone else.
You stated that you were looking for a MyDays support group. I answered your question since the vast majority of TTGPers use FF.
I am in no way offended. But you seem to be coming out guns blazing.

I apologized and have been as civil as possible...you seem to be just picking a fight now. Maybe you should move on to another discussion
Is there any way to private message on here? This is just getting way out of hand but I really would like to ask someone for some advice, I read the blog and everything before I started this discussion but still feel like I must be missing something huge
Missing something huge in terms of posting? Or a period tracking app?
Please note: This is a serious question with no malintent or sarcasm
@kmfred It's really ok. 98% of people here who chart use FF, but no one cares if you (or anyone else) does. You didn't offend anyone. You're just overreacting, but if you let this thread die, I doubt anyone will care about it 5 minutes from now. Feel free to carry on with your day here, posting on other threads.

I never said anyone was mean in another thread. I said my posting was going rough and this was a bad place to come when emotional...putting the blame on myself. I actually appreciated your original post.
@NellyBluth. She did. And missed the point completely.
@nellybluth That's the one I posted on saying that this was going rough. Trying to move on from this thread but I guess I was followed. What happened to letting this thread die
No one's following you. We were in that thread first, so actually, you followed us.

I use the My Days app, it's pretty easy to use. I have also tried FF and it seems complicated and not as easy to use but I have only used the mobile version and didn't read the instructions so I should definitely give it another try.

My Days is probably "easier to use" because you don't put as much information to input, unlike FF. I've never used it, but I've read that FF is WAY more accurate.
