Period Tracker: Monthly Cycles 4+

I’ve been using this app since 2011. I’ve tried other apps through the years because there were some features in these other apps that I really liked. However I kept coming back to this one because overall I felt it had more of the features I wanted then some other apps. It was also very user friendly, quick and easy to use which was helpful because I could add things quickly while on the run so the basics I could keep track of constantly, and when I had more time I could add specific symptoms. It has been really helpful to be able track over the years and see patterns. I would have given it 5 stars easily.

However having said all that with the new update the app is almost unrecognisable and not necessarily in a good way. I can grow to appreciate the new changes but certain aspects of the app that made me love it and stick to it for 9 years have disappeared which make me sad. It used to be so simple and quick and now it not all that user friendly. I also not the biggest fan of the aesthetic but hopefully in the future they will add different themes like in the old version to enable users to customise. I don’t know what the future holds for the app, I will definitely be giving it the benefit of the doubt and stick around to see how they update the app, as no initial design/redesign is the fully fleshed out model, nonetheless it has motivated me to search the market for other alternatives.

I have been using this app for years and suddenly they changed the style and design and it is taking a lot of getting used to. Saying that, the app does get used to your personal data and calculates the end of your period quite accurately so if you forget to update it each day the charts are not wildly inaccurate. There need to be more symptoms, events and moods. Why is having a tooth extracted even an event?! How often does someone have that! It’s so random. I probably don’t use the app to its full capacity as I’m not trying to get pregnant or anything and I don’t take my temperature ever (who does?) but overall it’s a good app for recording notes and symptoms to build up a picture over time and get more of an insight on your body’s functioning and history.

No need to pay for monthly/yearly subscriptions. Admittedly adds can be slightly annoying but it’s well with it considering the app does the same job as the ones that require subscriptions but it’s free!

I’ve been using this app for a few years. It’s very good. Very precise. I’ve relied on it as a method of contraception, to get pregnant and for things like booking holidays or knotting events like my wedding to make sure i’m not menstruating that week.

I am always prepared for my period as I am sent a notification a few days before which gives me time to stock up on pads and tampons etc.

It’s been a consistently effective method of contraception for my husband and I. We use the withdrawal method (I accept this is not completely safe so using protection during the fertile week will be more safe) when the app tells me I am at my most fertile. We do not use protection when I am not fertile. This has always worked for us.

It have also used this app successfully alongside ovulation tests when we were trying for our son and I fell pregnant within 6 months.
