Apps to Keep Track of your Period

I can think of three that I like.

1. My Calendar: Has a pink, stereotypically girly icon that you would expect from a period app. The calendar in it looks nice though and the app is easy enough to use. It’s the first one I tried and I keep it because I honestly think it still has the best interface.

2. P.C. “Period Calendar”: You might have to search for “Period Calendar/Calculator” to find this one, the icon looks like a little diary, perfect for period information. While I prefer My Calendar, this app deserves a special mention for the fact that, to my knowledge, it’s the ONLY menstrual tracking app that allows you to track the cycles of multiple women. This is perfect for both men and women who are tracking cycles for their wives and daughters, or roommates, or in any situation where you need to track multiple cycles.

3. The Warning: This one is a little different, but it’s worth mentioning anyway. Unlike the apps above meant primarily for women, The Warning is meant for men! With that in mind, it’s used to track both your significant other’s period and when she will most likely be experiencing PMS. It works fairly well, but you need to keep on top of it as unlike the other apps, it doesn’t update the anticipated length of a period based on previous data, or have the option to do so, meaning that if your significant other’s cycle changes, you have to change the app manually. It’s also leaning more toward being a paid app in several areas now, so I’m dinging it for that when the other apps above do the same stuff for free.

In addition to tracking periods, P.C. and My Calendar can both track intercourse as well, including whether it was protected or unprotected, and if an orgasm occurred. I have my own reasons for appreciating this feature in a period tracking app.
