### 5/5 — Helpful to notice my cycle and moods

*2026-07-23*

When i’m feeling tired and unmotivated, I check and my cycle is due to start. It also helps me notice patterns as it can be very fluctuating now that I’m in perimenopause.

### 4/5 — Colorful

*2026-04-05, version 1.6.4*

Very good, but I would like the display to be more colorful.

### 5/5 — Perfectly simple!

*2025-04-05*

This app is great if you just want to track your period without all the charts and graphs nonsense. You can turn the fertility predictions on/off. It’s exactly what I was looking for.

### 5/5 — So good

*2024-06-23*

Amazing I loved it it tells u when to change ur tampon/pad

### 4/5 — Good but a glitch

*2024-03-19*

I love this app so so so much but I added a password to see what it would do and now I can’t access the app like when I go to press on it, it brings me right back to my Home Screen and i tried uninstalling it several times I tried everything and nothing works at all

### 5/5 — I lOVE IT

*2023-09-27, version 1.6.4*

It’s a great app

### 5/5 — Perfect if you’re looking for something simple

*2023-09-11*

I’m so averse to the over-the-top fertility focused period trackers that I used to just track my period in my normal calendar, before wishing that I had an alternative since it’s somewhat sensitive health information. This app is exactly what I wanted—a simple, separate, password protected calendar for tracking your period with nothing else. If you’re like me and looking for that, this is it.

### 5/5 — Simple and perfect

*2023-09-01, version 1.6.4*

I love this app for its simplicity. I’m on the pill so I just needed a way to forecast my periods and this app works great. The fact it’s not an explosion of flowers and pink is nice too.

### 4/5 — Peroids

*2023-04-02, version 1.6.4*

Not very correct

### 4/5 — Easy app / suggestion for first period

*2023-03-11*

I’m testing this app for my almost teen daughter. When you first log in, it asks you for information regarding your last period and regular period duration. It would be a good idea to also offer the option of saying that it is someone’s first period since the above information wouldn’t be available yet. 

Thanks!
