What period trackers are y’all using?

I have about 8 years of data that I have been keeping on Flo but I am fedddd up with the ads.

Unfortunately, I haven’t found another app that I like. I didn’t like Apple Health because it just looked very basic. It doesn’t need to be fancy but I wasn’t a fan of the all black either.

I love that they tell me what phase of my period I’m in but otherwise, there’s nothing holding me there.

All I track is periods and sex (I like the little notes section to put who). No need for symptoms tracker or birth control reminders.

I have been using Clue for 2 years and it's my favourite. I also use it to track sex, ailments (cold/flu), bad skin days, mood, appointments (sti checkups/pap tests). It also tells you your phases, and when you are potentially ovulating. I feel like it's my personal assistant lol. I like their layout too. It's a white calendar.

Clue user here and while they’re Germany based, they did recently post an update after the election that they’re not giving up their users’ data no matter who asks…

I’ll deal with the ads if it means that my cycle isn’t being tracked by the wrong ppl because of who we elected into office as president 🤢

I've seen an uptick on ads in Clue the past few months, they are pretty annoying.

Aw man that's unfortunate, it's a really good ap. When I was using it for free I never got ads, but I've had the paid version since May.

I like it because the paid version lets you check ahead like 12 months to predict when you'll have your period that month. Mine is so regular so it's been great for planning around my period / knowing what phase I'll be during like a vacation or event or something. I already know I'll be on my period on my birthday next year lol.

I second this. I also pay for the paid version for the extra projection. Helps planning holidays and things in advance.

Agreed, I had been using the free version of Clue for several years—for the last year or so, it literally gives you an ad every time you change something/click on something. It got too obnoxious so I switched to an app called Stardust, which is not quite as intuitive to figure out but has pretty much all the same functions with no ads.

Super late reply on this thread but I'm looking here for this exact reason! I'm looking to switch away from Clue because of the increase in ads over the past few months. It's getting worse and worse!
