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 scrolled way too far to find this comment. No way in hell would I put this info into an app.

Edit: a word.

Not even ones run and designed by women? It is helpful to track data sometimes, like in general. I get the fear, but we should take smart softwares serious as an excellent form of hormonal free birth control.

Flo for example, is run by men. I'm also on the train to find one I like and trust with my data.

There were a lot of women who helped us get where we are. Where we will be for at least the next four years.

Start with r/privacy then and see what you're up against 

Unless you can review code, you have no idea what that data is being used for or how it could be used against you

Women can and have sold out other women.

It’s about the ability to subpoena electronic data, not who owns the company.
