New Delhi, September 08, 2022:

Anyone who has experienced a period knows that the whole affair can be tricky, which is why finding the best period tracker apps is a worthy pursuit. Even if your cycle is regular, it probably comes with a host of fun things like mood changes, acne, nipple soreness, and other exciting and delightful symptoms. If you’re someone who deals with a reproductive issue like endometriosis, fibroids, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), understanding your cycle as much as possible has major benefits. And of course, if you’re trying to get pregnant or trying to avoid pregnancy at all costs, knowing information like when you ovulate can help you on your journey. In short: if you are a menstruating human, a period app can probably make things a little easier.

1. Flo

Flo is one of the more popular period apps available. You can log your period and use it to anticipate things like when your bleeding will typically begin. The app also boasts over 70 symptoms—including bloating, cramping, mood changes, and sleep quality—that you can pinpoint as part of your cycle. Plus, there’s a community of other people you can chat with about sexual and reproductive health issues, and there are tons of quizzes, articles, and insights you can browse to learn more about your body.

These are standout features, but many app reviewers remarked that you can turn this app into a pregnancy tracker if you log that you are pregnant or miss your period. There’s also a consensus that the free features are worthwhile without paying for a premium membership.

  1. Eve by Glow

In many cases, period tracker apps may be trying to talk to folks hoping to get pregnant the same way they communicate with those trying to avoid pregnancy. Weird, right? Well, Eve (made by the same developers who created Glow, listed below) focuses on users who aren’t trying to get pregnant right now. The app features a lot of the standard period tracking features along with encouraging daily updates reminding you to track your symptoms, but it emphasizes monitoring your period as it relates to your sex life. You can also sync your Eve information to your iPhone Health app. There’s also an active community where app users can ask questions and share stories.

4. Glow

Created by the same company behind the Eve app, Glow is a period tracker designed for people who want to track symptoms and ovulation with a focus on fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum. The interface is colorful, and you can track lots of symptoms, including pregnancy-related changes in your body. Like other apps, you can track things like discharge, weight, sleep quality, and basal body temperature. You can also track your postpartum mood, which is incredibly useful. Much like the Eve app, this information  can easily sync with your iPhone Health app. Reviewers seem to enjoy the ability to log symptoms, but many have said that one of the more recent updates created a cumbersome user experience.

5. Spot On

Spot On was developed by Planned Parenthood, so there’s a strong emphasis on accuracy and empowerment beyond just tracking your periods. You can chat with sex educators to discuss questions about your body and the symptoms you’re experiencing. There’s a host of features around birth control methods, and there’s even an IUD tracker that reminds you when it’s time to remove your IUD. For reference, hormonal IUDs are recommended for use for three to six years, depending on the brand, and copper IUDs are recommended for up to 10 years, so no one would blame you for getting your dates a bit confused. Additionally, reviewers mention that this app is free (no premium features here) and that you can export the information easily.
