Period Tracker: Monthly Cycles

authentic rating

An app with a decade of history that has lost years of user data multiple times after updates. Editing a cycle end date now requires navigating through several screens. The built-in recovery path through settings does not work, as users themselves have documented publicly. It has gone from a tracking product to a product people are afraid to use.

About the rating

500 reviews, 60% five-stars with a text average of 2.9, a clear gap. Long-term users with specific data loss dates (2022, 2025), feature names, and screenshots of support chats. The frustration is targeted, not templated.

Strengths

What users love

  • When data is intact
  • Predictions are accurate enough for regular cycles. Apple Health sync and the ability to add notes to cycle days were valued for years.
Weak spots

What users hate

  • The forecast breaks after every major update. The period start or end date cannot be easily corrected. Ten to thirteen years of data disappear without warning and cannot be recovered through the standard method.

Who it is for

Those willing to risk their history for a familiar interface who already have a data backup.
