@lc627 And this is honestly one of the biggest problems with it! I do photography as a hobby; not too often and I'm not some fantastic photographer or anything, but it's taught me enough to know that an app like Premom is inherently extremely flawed and cannot work with any real accuracy. To get
accurate results, you'd need to perfectly replicate the exact environment every single time you took a pic of an OPK - exact same lighting, exact same angle, OPK in the exact same spot, phone held the exact same distance, exact same focus, etc.
And it's just impossible to do that with a phone camera. Add to that that the app is reading a compressed JPG photo, means there's going to be all sorts of artifacting in the photo which will impact the readings. And then you have to contend with things like having a marble counter can cause extra reflections that interfere with how light or dark the lines look, maybe you accidentally got a smudge on the lens, there's a random piece of cat hair or water droplet on the counter your camera decides to focus on for some unknown reason (autofocus can be on drugs sometimes)...even if something looks mostly the same when glancing at it on your phone, it's not, and the app can't account for all of these little differences that actually can be massive.
The app just cannot accurately do what it claims to do, and it's honestly actively harmful in a lot of ways. I have a major chip on my shoulder when it comes to TTC-related products that prey on people's fears and makes false claims, though.
