Natural Cycles is FDA approved for use as contraceptive, provided it’s used properly. Fertility awareness methods are not foolproof and are much more labor intensive than using condoms, the pill, or other hormonal contraceptives. Fertility awareness method requires a lot of knowledge about your cycle, a regular predictable cycle, and a lot of discipline to do.
It could be a really good method if you’re okay with the chance of getting pregnant but aren’t actively trying (my best friend and her husband use this method because they aren’t ACTIVELY trying to get pregnant, but wouldn’t mind if they did), and she said she likes the app and finds it helpful. If you’re at a point in your life where you 100% do not want to get pregnant, it’s likely not a good method for you.
