Ovulation sticks vs a fertility app

I've been trying to conceive our second child for almost a year now and after a 42 day cycle last month and being convinced this was it I think I need to ditch the app and just go with listening to my body as well as using ovulation sticks? Anyone else feel the same and/or have found this a better way of doing things?

I don't think apps are useful unless you have a very regular cycle and have confirmed when you ovulate a few times.

The sticks will tell at least tell you when you have your LH surge, and ovulation usually follows soon after. Unfortunately even the sticks aren't a guarantee that you are ovulating.

If it's feasible, the best thing to do is probably to ditch all of it and just have regular sex every other day.
