Moody Month: Cycle Tracker 12+

As someone who gets periods but isn’t a woman, It’s been very difficult to find a period tracker app that doesn’t constantly misgender me and cause dysphoria. That’s why I’m so thankful for moody!

I mainly just use it for the tracker and daily check-in so I’m not sure if the longer articles and exercises assume every user is comfortable with female terminology and pronouns, but the overall interface is great at including all genders by not specifying, making it a good bet for trans people who wish to track their periods and get advice.

TL;DR if you’re trans and looking for a period tracker, this one won’t misgender you !! big win

Hi Theoi 👋 Thank you so much for this great review! We are so happy to hear that using the Moody app has been a comfortable and inclusive experience for you. Best, Team Moody x

I really like the concept of this app and find it helpful to track my periods. But a couple of things that keep bothering me - why can’t I add a note on a previous day? For instance, I had a headache yesterday and didn’t think to instant record it but today I remember and would like to note it down to see if there’s a pattern. If I click on a previous day in the calendar and then click “add a moody moment” on that day, the note is tagged to today. As someone with irregular periods, it’s also kind of annoying to have to go in every day that it doesn’t come and delete the predicted period dates. Other apps I’ve used have a button to click saying “period started today” and the calendar figures it out so I only have to do it once.

Hi, thanks for this great feedback. We are already working on the retrospective logging feature and hope to have that up and running soon so keep an eye out for updates. The other concern is a great point too so we will discuss how we can improve this element.

I agree with another reviewer. This was so much better in the previous version when it wasn’t the little dots on a line, which mean very little. This app was really helping me to understand and compare symptoms of a hormone-related illness until the change, where it’s now almost impossible to do so. The ability to see symptoms between months that this app offered previously really was its USP. It was so good. Now it really does seem like a designer just wanted to make it look a certain way, rather than taking the functionality of this into account (I’m a designer myself). Every time I go back to using it now (I’ve tried a few times), I get irked. Please bring back the old graph version!

UPDATE: Please update to the latest app version to try out the new report and let us know what you think! Hi there 👋 Thank you for your feedback, the team are currently working on improving the logs report which should be live in the app in the new few weeks. Please keep an eye out for app updates!
