Cycles: Period & Cycle Tracker

This app has single-handedly reduced the amount of fighting in my marriage by over 90%! As an INTJ guy with the emotional range and empathic abilities of a belt sander, this app has been amazing! It pops up a warning "Stormy days ahead," and I know it's time to stop being purely analytical, and engage in a softer and gentler kind of interaction with my wife. And while this type of behavior is entirely unnatural to me, and perhaps even artificial, doing so has dramatically improved my quality of life! We've had remarkably poor timing with my wife being on her period during almost every fun/sexy vacation/weekend trip we've ever taken, including our honeymoon, regardless of which one of us plans it. Now I can look months in advance and pick dates to allow for maximum enjoyment for both of us! Highly recommend this app for any guy who's looking to improve his relationship, or may struggle with understanding human emotions!

I was hoping to use the app to track and predict my irregular cycles. The amount of information you can input is awesome- basal body temp, mucus, etc. But it doesn't automatically calculate when your next period will be based off your previous ones you've tracked. You have to input your average cycle length yourself which I find really inconvenient and can be extremely inaccurate. I have to manually count how many days it has been between all of my periods and then add the total days, then divide the total by the number of periods to get the average. It would be so much more helpful if the app did this automatically. Another odd thing is that you can change the current day on the cycle view. Beyond just going back to yesterday to put in information, you can actually change the day to today being the 21st day in your cycle vs the 20th. So again this provides the opportunity for your data to be inaccurate. Other than that, the app is great. It doesn't crash, and it has an easy to use interface.

Before this app I struggled to keep up with my “time of the month” accurately. I would always be too early or unfortunately late😭. This app changes that drastically. Now I’m able to keep up with everything. Bonus the app is super cute. The circle is easy to keep up with therefore, your period is easier to track. I love it. I think this is the first app I’ve gotten where I can officially say it’s simple and good to use. So for anyone that’s looking for a good tracker, I suggest you get this one. It’ll definitely be worth it. Edit: I’ve been using the app for almost a year now. After a while of tweaking with it and changing things, it eventually becomes super accurate. So accurate to the point of being right about your first and last day. It’s amazing.

Before downloading this app, I was semi-routinely taking my temperature during my fertile days in order to avoid pregnancy. With a toddler, remembering and staying consistent with temperature tracking and checking myself was difficult at best. Since learning how to use this app, and learning how to change the cycle length and period length, I have not used my thermometer, nor have I been concerned about an unplanned baby. I feel confident that when we are ready to welcome a new member to the family the app will be helpful in helping us know the optimal time to create a new life. I've been able to succeed with this app just by using the basic, free pieces, which tells me that this app is designed well. I am considering paying so I can be even more accurate in tracking my cycle.

I used to love this app. It worked well. It was simple and straight forward. I’ve happily used it for years. All of a sudden I go in today when notice the icon has changed. I figure it will be a little different in app, but still the app I’ve loved so long. NOPE! The warm, inviting colour scheme is GONE! It is a stark white! It’s almost like a surgical suit in there. I turned my screen brightness down as far as it would go and it still feels like it’s burning my retinas. I have to basically relearn the app. All of my personal averages have been switched for default averages. I don’t understand what they did or why. I spent MONTHS looking for a period app that was simple to use and pleasant to look at. I guess I’m back in the market for a period app I actually want to use. I don’t even want to open this thing anymore. It’s just ugly in there and quite frankly, since I’m PMSing, it’s rather stress inducing. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!
