Flo Period & Cycles Tracker
Pregnancy & Ovulation Calendar
Editors’ Choice celebrates the very best apps and games – hand-picked by App Store editors around the world.
Flo is a hugely popular period and ovulation tracking app, useful to anyone who wishes to know more about their menstrual cycle, fertility windows, perimenopausal symptoms and more.
Give the app some information about your periods, any known gynaecological issues you’ve experienced, what contraceptive methods you use and your motivation for using the app (wishing to get pregnant or wanting to understand your body better, for example) and Flo will customise the experience to serve you best.
We knew we loved it when: We discovered Flo’s robust privacy features. For multiple and unique reasons, not everyone wants to link their personal information to a fertility tracking app. This is why Flo has an Anonymous Mode. In this format, the app records essential information such as cycle patterns and symptoms, but does not attach it to any identifying information such as an email address or name. This means it can give you accurate predictions on your menstruation and fertility windows, without knowing who you are.
Our favourite discovery: Finding helpful expert guides on just about every aspect of women’s health. Want to understand more about your personal pleasure or changes in your body? You’ll find a plethora of articles and video courses from health professionals such as therapists, psychologists and gynaecologists.
The biggest surprise: Flo can be used in tandem with a partner so that they can also understand why you might be feeling low or when that vital fertility window is coming up!
