    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. In the future if there is going to be a large impact like this on something as important as fertility I do hope the company reaches out to their customers with updates/information. 

    Sincerely,

    Good day, 

    We are pleased to inform them that the app is now fully operational following our recent update and we have informed the customer already. We appreciate their patience during this time of enhancement, and we have already communicated this news to affected customers as well.

    Regarding their inquiry about the refund, we want to clarify a few key points. Unfortunately, their item is out of warranty. Additionally, the issue they experienced was part of a global update that affected all *** users, not just their account. Given these circumstances, we must exercise caution when processing refunds.

    Kind regards, 
    Ava Customer Success

    I have bought the *** bracelet 7 years ago and have been an active user until now. The last past week, the app does not work and their website is down. Several people have reached out to the business with no response. Lot of people have years of store data tracking fertility and their cycles on the app, and no one received any notification that things would be shut down. As of now, it looks like nothing can be accessed of our personal records. Whose records are important for those who are trying to get pregnant, or those of who use it to prevent pregnancy.

    Good day, 

    About this complaint, we have responded to the customer's concern. The issue is about an ongoing website maintenance which is why they weren't able to use their *** account as of the moment. Currently, we're just waiting for their response for our next step. 

    If you need anything else, please let me know. 

    Kind regards,

    I purchased the *** womens fertility bracelet. I purchased the extra option to get a refund if you try for a year and do not conceive. I reached out to customer service a week to early and they responded I needed to wait for a week before I reached back out for my refund. I have since contacted them over 14 times and no response. I just want my refund!

    I ordered an Ava ******** on June 17. I paid 255.13$. I received an order confirmation through email and later that day I received a shipping confirmation the same day. The tracking for the shipping confirmation has remained the same which is label created, **** awaiting packing. I sent a customer service inquiry June 26, July 9, and June 12. I get the same message back every time about restructuring or it taking longer than usual to answer customer inquiries. I asked for an update or info regarding my order or a refund so that I could reorder. I have yet to receive helpful communication from the company. I believe the product is probably a good product, but am incredibly disappointed by customer service. I paid a significant amount of money and have received no product or information regarding my purchase. I just want to receive the product that I purchased.

    I purchased this product and it is completely ineffective. It was purchased for over ****** and Ive been trying to reach out to customer service for weeks to just get passed around or ignored. This product is clearly defective. Im asking to return with the company paying the cost due to their inability to give a good product and disclose it doesnt work on their app and they wont help.

    I bought a bracelet under their 6 month guarantee. I have been trying to return it for my money back under this guarantee for nearly a month. Nobody from customer service will respond to me. I have reached out on 3 separate occasions with no resolution. Only excuses that they are restructuring their customer support team.

    Hello,

    Per policy, the data has to be reviewed prior to a refund being issued for a 6-month guarantee to confirm eligibility. The data was reviewed and a refund was issued to the original form of payment 8 days ago.
