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! ### 4/5 — Personal problem *2022-07-01* I’m 15. I wrote a review when I was 14 about how it’s good for everyone especially teenagers which is true but they haven’t updated in a while and so I can’t get in the app therefore I had to delete it. In doing so, I lost a whole year of period tracking. I think I should start tracking in a book instead. ### 4/5 — Good but.. *2022-05-15, version 1.6.4* Everything is over all good but I can’t get back in bc my password is somehow wrong so idk when my period is ### 5/5 — Uncomplicated *2022-01-16, version 1.6.4* Simple reminder notifications, no constant ads, msimple design. ### 5/5 — App that i have been looking for *2021-12-19* Such a great app. I am a teen(16 yo). Firstly it's great beacuse teens can use it, without unnecessary fertility options. And also, it is very very minimalistic, it doesnt bombard you with over the top flowery girly designs. I recommend this for everyone who wants just a normal period calendar where you can put information that you want. ### 5/5 — Good app *2021-10-02* I checked though all of the apps on my IPhone and couldn’t find a good mistral (Period) app I came across this one and thought to my self let’s try it. It is so easy to use & it tells me when I will start. I have a IUD in because I’m a Chronic anemic (Very Low Iron) other words this is a good app it won’t hurt to try. ### 5/5 — Good for teen *2021-09-19* FINALLY, I found an app that will just track my daughter’s period without all the extra fluff! I don’t need all the extra nonsense that other apps have. It’s FREE and it just simply tracks. THANK YOU ### 5/5 — Needs a sync or icloud function *2021-05-27* Love the app! Been using it for 2 years. So simple! Allows you to add notes too!! I wish that it would have a sync option for when you switch to a new phone so your data doesnt get lost! ### 5/5 — Simply does the job *2021-04-05, version 1.6.4* My old app updated with pictures of flowers and all unnecessary extras. So I found this app - perfect and simple. You can see at a glance, add notes if you want. Just what I wanted. ### 5/5 — JOB DONE!!! *2021-02-01, version 1.6.4* I've gone through a few of these apps and this one's the winner! I just want help tracking my period and this one GETS THE JOB DONE!!! Thank you developers, for an extraordinarily helpful app! ### 3/5 — Notes disappearing *2021-01-08* First time using the app, and I need to be able to add to a note I made or reread it without the original note disappearing. I use the edit function and am very careful not to delete the note, but it keeps happening. That part is glitchy and unfortunately a big problem for me. ### 5/5 — Love it *2020-12-21* This app is amazing!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — You’re not able to delete periods *2021-01-13, version 1.6.4* If irregular or premenopausal you can’t manually delete periods that were scheduled by the app. Creators please fix that. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2021-01-07, version 1.6.4* I downloaded it and thought it was really easy and clear. I used it no more than 20 minutes. Now the app simply won’t open, just crashes. Even after download and reinstall. Looks like I’ll need to find another ### 1/5 — App won’t open, lost my history *2020-11-27, version 1.6.4* I downloaded this app because it seemed better than other ones I’ve used. I entered my period dates for at least the last year from my other apps. Then after a few days I click the icon fir the app, it opens, looks like it’s going to load, then immediately crashes. I emailed them but have gotten no response. ### 1/5 — App funktioniert nicht mehr *2020-02-19* Leider lässt sich die App nach meiner Umstellung auf das iPhone 11 pro max nicht mehr öffnen. Ich hoffe, dass dieser Fehler schnell beseitigt wird, denn die App hat mir bisher sehr gut gefallen. ### 1/5 — Schade! *2019-11-17* Nach dem letzten Update ist bei mir der Verlauf, also die letzten und nächsten Perioden verschwunden. Gibts dazu eine Erklärung? Ich nutze die App schon sehr lange, nun muss das aber geklärt werden. ### 1/5 — Delete *2016-07-27, version 1.3.2* The app won't delete off of my phone ### 1/5 — Not What I Was Looking For.. *2016-04-18, version 1.3.2* I can't really say if this is a good app or not because I just downloaded it less than 3 minutes ago, but sadly I am already disappointed with the results. I am not the person who likes to complain, and I do not want to be picky and push your buttons, but it's really unpredictable. When you put the information in of when your cycle usually repeats, it automatically thinks your next period is that number of days away from starting. Me and including others, my cycle is bumpy. Sometimes it will start at the end of every month and continue to the next, and sometimes it will start around the date when I had my very first period. Not to get personal or anything but my period recently started today, April 17 2016, and it usually starts on or around the 30th of the month. But since it started early today, (the flow is fairly very light), I am not sure when my period in May will begin. I have a trip to go on to an indoor waterpark for a school program, and I have never tried tampons before. I am very Nervous to ask my mom for them, because I am one of those shy cowards. And the field trip starts from early in the morning to 4:00 or so pm, which is over 7 hours and leaving in a tampon could lead to the known lethal toxic shock. But I am also embarrassed to bring extra tampons with me on the trip, because I don't know if we can bring our own bags, but also because it will be awkward in front of the other students. What am I supposed to say? "HEY, I NEED TO GO PUT A TAMPON IN LET ME GET IT OUT OF MY LOCKER PLEASE EXCUSE ME." The trip is on May 20th, and like I said, I am not sure when my next period will start. For one thing, I wouldn't enjoy for it to start at the trip, and for second, I don't want to have to haul tampons with me. I cannot find another app to be positive, or at least almost accurate, of when my next periods will begin, and when I began to download this one, I saw the good reviews and thought that I hit jackpot. But all this does is add the number of days your cycle normally starts to the day it started on into the next month. Please improve this, because we could literally do this ourselves if we knew we didn't have bumpy and unpredictable period cycles, but unfortunately there are many out there like me who have these unpredictable cycles. I am just in need for an accurate app, that doesn't automatically assume that it is , say 30 days until our next period just because our cycles usually start 30 days on and after every month. Again, there are people with bumpy cycles that start on unpredictable days, and adding the days of their usual cycle that is the norm onto every time their period starts isn't going to work, because clearly it is mostly unpredictable. Please help and fix. ### 2/5 — Used to be good. But seems abandoned. *2022-09-21* I’ve used this app for quite a while now and loved the simplicity of it. But today I opened it up to track the start of my period and was greeted with a “Your iPhone is full” ad. Yeah, no. Not going to support a developer that lets this type of crap advertising in. Besides that it’s been 2 years since the last update. It seems they’ve pretty much abandoned this. Which is fine since my phone and watch both have tracking built in now. ### 2/5 — App geht nicht mit iOS 15 *2021-10-05* Die App lasst sich leider nicht starten, wird das bald kommen ? Danke ### 2/5 — Started off great, but now… *2021-09-21, version 1.6.4* It started off great, I could do anything in the app, but now, if I just open the app it closes itself within seconds, please check this.. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 ### 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. ### 5/5 — Good *2022-12-10* Does what it is supposed to do. ### 5/5 — It’s amazing *2022-09-19, version 1.6.4* I can change my days if my period is early or late. You can also get a code before you go in so know one else knows what it is. It’s AMAZING!!! ### 5/5 — Hands down best tracker *2022-02-22* This is without a doubt the best tracker So many trackers also track stuff like chances of get pregnant where you have put if you had sex or not that day. I’m sure it’s useful for an adult but I’m 13! I don’t need to track when I have sex because I don’t !!!! Also some apps have characters that literally harass you whenever you sign in. This app is plan and easy to use. Just put the start and end of your period and that’s it! Thank you to the developers for not making my period tracking awkward <3 ### 5/5 — Good for mental health *2022-02-11* I unfortunately cannot have biological children and after years of trying it had become emotionally difficult even to use a period tracking app because they all show estimated ovulation and I’ve never seen one have an option not to show it. I really appreciate that it is not on this app. I think this would also be great for someone transitioning who needs a simple way to track their cycle without pink backgrounds and random body facts. I love that this app is just black and white and completely simple and neutral. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
