Seems like there’s an app for just about everything these days, especially in the world of health.

Apps can help you track your calories, workouts, your heart rate, and these days a mobile phone can also be a staunch ally in tracking a woman’s fertility.

She joins Alex Cohen for a conversation on why fertility apps have become so popular and whether they’re scientifically sound.
