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
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
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
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
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.

Che Butter Jonez, the southside Atlanta restaurant known for its delicious sandwiches and breakfast foods, is moving its flagship location to Brookhaven.
After some successful years as a food truck, Malik Rhasaan and Detric Fox-Quinlan, the husband-and-wife team behind the popular eatery, launched their venture in 2021 at a Chevron station plaza on Cleveland Avenue. It quickly became one of the best black-owned restaurant in Atlanta. However, persistent issues such as public disturbances and property management challenges have made it difficult to continue operating there.
Che Butter Jonez Relocating To Brookhaven: CheHaven
The couple is also preparing to expand while awaiting the completion of Butter & Scotch, a Queens-inspired restaurant set to open in the Origin Hotel Atlanta downtown.
On June 21, Rhasaan shared on Instagram: “We’re likely going to have to close the Cleveland Avenue location. Too often, I find myself confronting grown men and women about activities they know are inappropriate … I can’t leave my establishment to handle other business because I can’t hire anyone to deal with the daily chaos … Local politicians won’t help, other tenants are indifferent or part of the problem, and the landlord may as well not exist … We’re currently searching for a new space for Che Butter Jonez. We’d love to stay in the area, but staying here isn’t an option.”
This post, prompted by issues like loitering and public urination, attracted new opportunities for the restaurant.
Photo Che Butter Jonez / Instagram
One promising option is a 3,000-square-foot space in Brookhaven at 1602 Lavista Road, affectionately referred to as “CheHaven.”
On June 26, Che Butter Jonez announced its move on Instagram: “We’re late, but we’re also moving. It is with sadness that we prepare to leave our flagship brick-n-mortar location. We didn’t try. We succeeded. Because we created the kind of community in these small walls that people always say they wish to experience. We’re proud of that, but we’re headed in a direction that brings about opportunities we could have never imagined, so we live the dream we dare to dream! Thank you all so much. It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve you all, and those of us who can’t get to us often, we will let you know how much longer you guys have us here at your spot, but just know we have some cool things planned, and we’re excited! Fk it, be excited with us! We gonna have a great time! More news to come!”
Photo Che Butter Jonez / Instagram
Rhasaan expressed mixed feelings about the move, noting, “I don’t want to go at all. We live in the neighborhood, but it’s hard to get staff because of the reputation of Cleveland Avenue. I work every day. It’s hard to give someone the burden to have to be security on top of their job.”
Where Is CheHaven Located?
Located at 1602 Lavista Road NE, in the former Coffee Bar Atlanta space, the new 2,954-square-foot Che Butter Jonez will more than double the size of the Cleveland Avenue location and accommodate five times the number of people. Here’s a map to help you find it.
The new Brookhaven location will open in the fall, offering a much larger space with a capacity of 81, compared to the current 15. The restaurant will operate six days a week, up from the current three.
The restaurant will feature large garage-style windows, a stage at the front, and décor similar to the original, with bright and inviting colors and wood elements.
The expanded menu will include breakfast, lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch, with new items like salmon and shrimp bowls, along with favorites like the lamb burger and pastrami-topped “Patti LaBelle” patty melt. Bodega-style sandwiches will be available for breakfast, and the restaurant will offer craft soda, bottled beer and wine, and a small grocery area with staples and grab-and-go items. Events like Singo (singing BINGO) and Wednesday night fish and spaghetti will continue.
The Cleveland Avenue location will remain open for the time being, though its future is uncertain.
Rhasaan and Fox-Quinlan started Che Butter Jonez as a food truck in 2018. Named after Rhasaan’s online alias, the truck gained popularity with its tagline, “I cook better than your muva!” and rotating dishes like the lamb burger and the Bodega breakfast sandwich.
Final Word
The couple’s first brick-and-mortar location location opened in June 2021 at 757 Cleveland Ave., just minutes from their home. They are also working on an upscale restaurant and bar called Butter + Scotch, slated to open in a hotel on Mitchell Street later this year.
Cool events takes place every year when it’s hot. And that’s when Atlanta is at its best. Every Atlanta weekend has something cool to do. The city has a thriving cultural, food, sports and music scene, with venues like the Tabernacle and the Fox Theatre hosting concerts and shows throughout the year.
