1. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Has gone way downhill. This app no longer gives expected period times, which are the main reason I’ve used it. I’m deleting!

2. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Not good for pain management. Doesn’t let you rate cramp pain on a scale of one to ten. Doesn’t let you track pain medication usage.

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Periods. Does not tell me when the predicted period is

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   They delegated my data then said I get it back if I pay now I don’t know my cycle right!!!!. No don’t get this they deleatd my data and said if I subscribe for $9.00 a month I will get my old data back!! NOT OKAY!

5. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Not free. If you want to see past the last year (which can be important for medical records if you are having problems with your period), it will cost you $9.

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Deletes period days. Every time I open the app, one of my period days is missing which ruins the cycle tracking part. I have to repeatedly gone back to mark the same day just to find it unchecked next time I use the app. Now it’s unchecking two days—including the start day—which is making it very confusing. I’ve only used during one cycle so far and can’t imagine how confusing it would be after several cycles with missing days. Bummer!

7. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Pay For My Own Data? 🤡. I was excited to try this until I realized that if I used it long enough I would have to subscribe to see my old data. No thanks 👋

8. ★★★★★excessive or broken notifications

   No explanation. I was going to set reminder and couldn’t so i just tried stuff for a whole hour, it did not explain what to do, every time it just said “reminder not set” it annoyed me alot, just explain how to use it

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Hate having to click every day. I wish I could just say my period started on this day and ended on that day, but no, I have to click on each day, and say how heavy it is otherwise the app thinks I just had my period for one day. Can’t skip a day or it think you had a really short break and restarts the cycle. I want to like this app, it’s really cool, but that is so annoying.

10. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Pretty good. I wish the tracker had an option to block out days that would exclude data for your cycle report, as I was pregnant, and then after that I was breastfeeding, so there was a large block of time without a period. It skews the overall data because of the gap, and kind of makes the averages useless to me despite regularly tracking, so I’m left guessing. Other than that, the app is great. You can make custom tracking points, make notes, and it’s very all inclusive. Best tracker thus far and love using it for its simple aesthetic and functionality. But the inability to add pregnancy/birth info, breastfeeding info, etc, greatly reduces the effectiveness of the app. You would think it would be considered as these things affect the cycle of a woman. They should really modify the app to consider these points.

11. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

    More customization for colors. I like that I can view and have an estimate of when I’m going to start my period. It helps me to be prepared for it. I just wish you could customize different items with different colors. For example, make the period red and the pill blue or the hormones green instead of having no color.

12. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Almost perfect. I love this app, and I really wanted to give it five full stars, but there was one absolutely maddening issue that’s holding me back here. If I log data in the Period app, it is supposed to port back over to Apple health, but it does not. Every time I open my Apple health app and then go back to Period, if I have not been entering the data in Apple health manually also, it overrides the data that was entered in the Period app and clears out flow, symptoms, etc. This drove me absolutely crazy for about a week while I couldn’t figure out why days that I had entered flow kept wiping back to zero. Today I finally open my Apple app, swapping to try to add info and sync it up again, and realized where the disconnect was and what was happening. So it’s a great app, but I can’t guarantee that I am never going to want to open the Apple health app which apparently causes the calendar in the Period app to revert. :/

13. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Hopeful. Seems like it would be a great fit for me, but I'm confused how to use the calendar. It would be cool to have access to edit past dates with more ease. Maybe have an option to show a full week indication of days, instead of individual days? (For ex, mark Dec 9 as "day one" and based on your cycle have it predict the next however many days ahead and have it mark your calendar as a prediction that you can edit later.) This is the same issue I have with the Apple health app 😅 Like it besides that, though. The widgets especially!

14. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Helpful, but Glitchy. I really like being able to track the heaviness of my periods and all my symptoms, especially being able to add custom notes. And I love how it predicts my period and summarizes my cycle. But at least two periods keep having the flow information removed. The same two days will go from “heavy” and “medium” flow to none, which throws off my next period prediction. It’s really annoying. Hopefully this bug gets fixed.

15. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    LOVE. i love this app, it does everything it needs to, but I feel like it’s pretty basic that’s why I’m going to horse. There’s definitely more they could do, but it is good for what it does.

16. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Easy app. Easiest app ever, I love how simple it is and it only records what you need. Wish it had a list for ibuprofen though

17. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Very nice. this is perfect for what i need. you can track medication, cramps, emotions, and much more in addition to the days you bleed. it doesnt tell you anything about your cycle phases but that isnt an issue fir me. period tracking is so important. i havent rlly used any other period tracking apps so i have nothing to compare it to, but this one seems fairly in depth and i like the way it looks.

18. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Clean design, easy to add notes. An app I’ve been using for years is sadly not updating anymore. Period is the best alternative I found after trying a few other “popular” apps — really fits my needs. There are however some bugs to be fixed: not able to customize icons with the paid version at the moment. Would much appreciate this function. Thank you developing and updating this app!

19. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Pretty good. The overall concept is great, however there is one or two things I would change. Such as the fact that I have to buy stuff in order to track certain things. I also wish that the app told you information about the part of your cycle that you are in. Every woman young and old deserves to have easily accesable information on their menstrual cycle. Such as what to eat during certain phases or what ceratin symptoms mean.

20. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    It needs some improvements. I like the overall app, you can mark how heavy or light it is over your cycle. it includes other things you can mark on your calander, like if you use a tampon,pad,if you have had acne, or even emotions! There is some room for improvement. I think that the fact that you have to subscribe to be able to make my own icons is quite frusterating. All periods are different, some people have symtoms that arent on the pre-set icons. As someone who is new to the expirience, I wanted a discreet way to track everything thats going on. I love the color code for your flow. And I love the widgets. Please reconsider the subscrition. If all women have to go though this, we shouldent have to pay for our different symtoms to be noted.

21. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    AWESOME just what you want from an app. This period app is so great like it’s just to track everything no dumb articles and whatnot. I also love that you can change the colors as it brings me a lotta dysphoria from other period apps being all womanly and flowery. But one thing is that the charts don’t work with my app I tried deleting it and redownloading it, idk not that big of a deal. I also noticed that you can’t change the color of your flow on your widgets though, also not that big of a deal just something. Anyways thanks for making such a great app!

22. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Really nice. This is such a good app for new 🩸starters. It keeps track of everything, and I also love how you can edit you day if you think something is wrong. Excellent multiple choice because, I get in mad moods a lot. This is a great app in general for anyone who is having trouble with keeping track of their period.

23. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great for beginners. Got this app right after I got my first period at 11. Really great for beginners, and doesn’t get confusing when your cycle is irregular, unlike Apple Health.

24. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    9/10. I recently started using this app to track my periods and I really like how simple it is. My only issue is that you can't turn off the times. I don't always track at the time something happens but then it really bothers me that the time isn't accurate. But that's my only complaint!

25. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    This is a good app to use. This app was really helpful, but it was a bit hard to use but once you look around a bit on the app you start to realize what certain things are used for. ITS ADD FREE, there is a pro version but it doesn’t give you adds about that which is really nice.

26. ★★★★★clear and easy workflow

    Simple, Inclusive. You hardly need more!. Short and sweet review, the simplicity and responsiveness is great. Putting in past period to get the predictions started is simple enough. Adding entries of physical changes or meds or whatever is straightforward. No need to go searching far or in some hidden categories for info or changing things you already set. I would like one thing though, if you could select multiple days to edit or, preferably, when you go to add an entry (particularly dates in the past,) just be able to swipe left or right on top of the date or something to just move on that day and quickly input the period info for that day. It would make putting past periods in quicker and simpler than tapping and/or selecting date, inputting data, exiting, tapping on different day, inputting data.... repeatedly 3 or more times depending on how long your period was and how late your remembered to do it. I'm forgetful personally with logging sort of thing so it just would be so helpful. Hope that makes sense! Love this app so far, thank you for being inclusive.

27. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Good.. except. This app was the best.. for a while.. believe me it’s great but after like a year, it stopped showing data so I could buy it back?? Nuh uh I loved the app and I really want an app that was ths good, I honestly love it still and think it’s great so good job, just work on that pls 🙏🏼

28. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Easy tracking. The app allows for easy tracking of your period. I wish there was a better way to see symptoms/mood/ etc but prediction and period tracking is great

29. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    ?. it won't show me when my nest period is but other than that great app

30. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Nice App. I enjoy that i can pick when my period is and how i may track it. i love how it makes me feel like im playing a game and i get to customize my period color, date , and more.
