Frequently Asked Questions

No. Moon Quest is a companion that provides educational content and emotional context based on your cycle. It doesn't diagnose, treat, or give medical advice. If you're experiencing severe symptoms that are significantly affecting your life, speaking to a healthcare provider is the right next step.

Anyone who experiences PMS, PMDD, or PME (premenstrual exacerbation of a pre-existing condition) and wants to understand what's happening without being told what to do about it. You don't need a diagnosis to use it and you certainly don't need to have it all figured out.

No. There's no right way to use Moon Quest. Some people will check in daily. Some will open it once a week. Some use the educational content and barely touch the forecast. None of those is wrong. The app isn't designed around completion. Use it in a way that's useful to you, whenever it's useful.

The free version gives you access to the Emotional Forecast, the first 35 Explorer insights, beginner articles in the Learn section, and basic avatar customisation (hair, skin tone, and a few extras). The paid plan opens up Moon Mapper and Night Navigator levels, the full Learn library, avatar outfit customisation, accessories via Moon Points, and access to the Moon Quest community.

The educational content is available regardless. The Emotional Forecast, though, needs at least some period data to function. Without knowing your cycle phase, the predictions don't have anything to anchor to. Even a rough start date is enough to get going.

This depends on the type. Hormonal contraception that suppresses natural cycle fluctuations (like the combined pill) will limit what the forecast can meaningfully predict, since the hormonal pattern it's designed to model may not apply. If you have irregular or absent cycles due to contraception, the app's companion content may still be useful, but the forecast will be less relevant.

"Just PMS" is one of the most minimising things someone can say to a person who's struggling. Moon Quest exists partly because that misconception has done a lot of damage. Whether what you're experiencing comes with a formal label or not, it's real.
