YOUR CYCLE CHART Switch between the mobile chart and the full cycle sheet. Review previous cycles and add your own markings. Set a reminder for your daily temperature measurement. YOUR DATA, YOUR COPY Your observations are stored on your device. Save your chart as a PDF to view or print. Save a data backup in a location you choose, then restore it on another phone. A backup is a separate file and does not update automatically. CSV export and JSON format details are available under Advanced options. MAKE IT YOURS Use Sympto in English, German, French or Polish. Choose your date format, 12/24-hour clock and Β°C or Β°F separately. Switch between light and dark themes. Sympto is a recording tool. It does not automatically interpret fertility or predict ovulation. Selecting an observation method saves a preference; it does not apply that methodβs rules to your chart. Interpret observations yourself according to the method you have learned. The app does not replace medical advice or guidance from a qualified fertility awareness instructor.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sympto at none against Lunara's 3. Sympto also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.5). Lunara's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
