Keeping track of your menstrual cycle doesn’t have to be a chore. You can simply let a period app to do it for you.

But which period apps are the best ones? This article is going to explore all the best period apps available for download on your phone this year.

5 Best Period Apps You Need To Be Using 

But first, let’s get into some basics about the need for technology to help track our monthly cycles.

There are all kinds of menstrual monitoring apps, from those for women with bleeding disorders to pregnancy trackers as well.

What Do Period Apps Do?

Not only, do period apps remind us when the monthly menstrual cycle is set to begin, but they also track abnormalities and give us a record we can use to gauge our health.

Some other tasks that the best periods perform are:

  • Some apps generate charts and reports that show you how you’re doing
  • Calculate your ovulation days so you can know when you’re most fertile
  • Some apps make it easy to share your health information with your medical provider

Keep in mind that many period tracking apps share your personal information, so if you’re squeamish about that sort of thing, be aware!

Do Period Apps Actually Work?

Many women have cycles that ebb and flow and change suddenly for one reason or another. Apps have made tracking menstrual cycles much easier, but if you want to protect yourself from becoming pregnant, it’s best to use contraception.

Period apps work, but they are best used along with common sense.

What Is The Most Accurate Period App?

Here are the best period apps on the market. The reviews were taken from the actual app pages in the Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store.

Here’s what one reviewer says about Period Tracker: “I originally downloaded this app because I wanted to track certain behaviors with relation to my cycle. Specifically, back pains and those days I just got so frustrated. Sure enough, they were usually a few days before my cycle. What I love about this app is how customizable it is. It has a variety of little icons and pictures, and you can track anything you want from chocolate cravings to headaches. I used a little picture of a whale to track when I started feeling bloated. I just noticed they have a little corked wine bottle with incrementally more bubbles in it to represent constipation. How could you not love that?

2. Eve

Android | iOS

Here’s what one Google Play reviewer says about Eve by Glow: “Cons:First,glow premium is a whole joke. Understandable,not paying for the gems I don’t want is fair on the basis that I’ll never use a certain one.I feel as though I should be able to taylor my own experience on the app.I don’t care to know about my cycle twins when it’s about my own. ↪But why do I have too pay for my own cycle’s information?? All that needs to be free .I know bedsider exists-besides it, uneeded info abounds.Had app since 2017wasn’t like this Pros:Cycle preditions acc.”

3. Clue

Android | iOS

Here’s what one reviewer says about Clue: “I’ve used this app for 4 years and it’s been great! It tracks my cycle accurately, as long as I put in the data (sometimes I forget lol). There is a lot of helpful information to understand what they’re tracking and why and what it tells them and you. It’s discreet, has a nice design, and isn’t overtly feminine, which is nice for trans and gender-nonconforming folks who menstruate!”

4. MyFlo

Android | iOS

Here’s what one reviewer says about the MyFlo period tracker app. “The app has a lot of information. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because they have some things that need to be improved on the app. 1. It can take 10+ seconds to load 2. If you click back to go back to another screen it will freeze 3. If I want to add some details to my calendar for previous days I can’t.”

5. Flo

Android | iOS

Here’s what one reviewer says about the Flo app: “I have been using this app for awhile now and have been very dedicated to tracking my body’s cycle. With this app I avoided pregnancy successfully for 2 years without hormonal birth control by working around my fertility rhythm using the information Flo provided. The longer you use it, the more accurate it it becomes.”

Last Thoughts

One thing you need to keep in mind is that an app is manmade and can be wrong sometimes. That being said, explore apps that specifically cater to your needs.

No matter which app you choose, it’s also always a good idea to run it by your ob-gyn.
