Your period tracker stopped working. This one didn't. In perimenopause cycles stop being predictable, and an app built on prediction keeps telling you that you are late, then wrong, then late again. Alva never does that. Alva does not predict. It records, ranges and reveals. WHAT IT DOES - Logs 40 symptoms, from hot flashes and night sweats to brain fog, joint pain and burning mouth - Handles irregular cycles without a single error state: a 24 day gap, a 58 day gap, a whole year - Shows the observed range instead of a fake date. "Your last 6 cycles ran 24 to 58 days. It has been 39 days." - Never uses the word late, and never colours a long gap as a warning HORMONE THERAPY, PROPERLY TRACKED - Patches, gels, sprays, tablets, pessaries, rings, implants and 4 more forms - Cyclical regimens such as 12 days on and 16 days off, anchored and repeating - Twice weekly patch schedules with a site rotation prompt - Adherence over any range, and a dose history that keeps every past regimen intact PATTERNS YOU CANNOT SEE BY MEMORY Six on-device analyses run nightly and phrase everything as an observation, never a cause: symptom trends, co-occurrence, lifestyle association, cycle-phase clustering, treatment response and cycle variability. Every card shows how it was calculated, with the sample size and date range. THE APPOINTMENT REPORT One tap turns three months of entries into a clinical PDF: cycle table, variability figures, ranked symptoms with sparklines, your current regimen and adherence. Legible printed in greyscale. Walk in with evidence instead of a feeling. PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION No account. No email. No sign-in. No ads, and no advertising or analytics code in the app at all. Your entries live on your iPhone and sync only through your own iCloud, which is free for everyone. Optional Face ID lock. FREE AND PRO Free forever: unlimited logging, medication reminders, dose ticking and your last 30 days. Alva Pro: full history, all insights and charts, PDF report export and data export as JSON or CSV. Alva is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat or give medical advice. It records what you enter and describes patterns in it. Always speak to a qualified clinician about your symptoms and any treatment. Alva Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Midlife Plus at none against Alva's 2. Midlife Plus also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
