Period Tracker by GP Apps 12+

I’ve been using this specific app for many years and tracked my period consistently for like 3yrs+ when I had my other iPhone, the unfortunate thing occurred where my phone broke and upon re-downloading the app on my new phone, I realized I have not backed up anything so I lost all my info over the years which I can only fault myself over. So make sure you Press Backup Now on Settings.

As for the app itself, it is such a great app. It is extremely user friendly. You get so much out of the free version. The layout is also really nice, pretty, and straightforward on how to use it, input information. The period predictions are spot on, you just have to do your part and input in every month and it is accurate to the day. The nice thing is you can always go back to any day and enter the information/ periods if you forgot or couldn’t get to it on that specific day so that’s really cool. Also like someone else said, it isn’t just a period tracker app for me as well, you can track your general health if you want to. They have everything from your own notes, medications, moods, weight, water, sleep, symptoms tracking etc. It’s just such a remarkable app, I just wished I had knew to backup before which I do now. Otherwise it’s a 5/5 app for me and I think for you, it will be too!

I just love this app! I’ve been using it for at least 7 yrs, possibly longer...2010, maybe. It keeps getting better and better the more I investigate and realize all it actually does. I have always used the free version, but thinking about doing the Patron version just because I’m so impressed with the app and I’d like to support the developer. The ads with free version are not obnoxious and still has a ton of capabilities! Integrates with Apple Health App and/or FitBit. They will be coming out with a diet tracking integration soon to help you eat Keto, too. One thing to note is that you have to be diligent about inputting your period start and end dates accurately as that changes your averaged cycle length. Which messes up your fertility window for tracking ovulation, and if that’s your primary birth control method, like ours, then it’s a potential problem. But, the app is quite good at discounting those months that your data entry was less than accurate and making adjustments for cycle irregularities. I’ve been having some health issues and it allows me to track symptoms, moods, weight, temperature, water intake, exercise, calorie intake and make other notes...which I use to track my blood pressure and blood sugar readings. Just a really great overall health diary that provides your doctor with great insight into your overall health. Highly recommend!

I originally downloaded this app because I wanted to track certain behaviors with relation to my cycle. Specifically, back pains and those days I just got so frustrated. Sure enough, they were usually a few days before my cycle. What I love about this app is how customizable it is. It has a variety of little icons and pictures, and you can track anything you want from chocolate cravings to headaches. I used a little picture of a whale to track when I started feeling bloated. I just noticed they have a little corked wine bottle with incrementally more bubbles in it to represent constipation. How could you not love that?

I have since had an ablation (procedure for those done with childbirth with extremely heavy periods, it scars uterus lining so it doesn't build up so heavy) and now have my period much less frequently. The app has successfully mapped my new, longer cycle with accuracy. I imagine this app would be extremely useful to someone trying to conceive, or just track their fertility. I also use it to check ahead and see whether any future vacations or work functions will be impacted. Whether I need to pack anything, etc.
