Period Diary Ovulation Tracker Positive Reviews
Idea for ImprovementThis is a great app, I really appreciate the ease of use. The ability to keep notes on each day. I just have an idea to improve the weight feature. The temperature feature when activated by double tap is automatically at 98.0 which is average for most people, however with the weight one it is automatically at 110.0 which is not as average for every person using this app. Weight is very fluctuating for many and I know that for myself, I have to scroll a lot to get to my weight. I feel like there should either be a way to type in your weight or if you keep the scroll make it so when you double tap it to activate it is set at your last recorded weight and then you can scroll and adjust from there. Either one would be more efficient. Thank you for this app and I hope to see this improvement in the future!.Raven_Gra5ceVersion: 4.3.6
Staying on TOP of HormonesI started using the period calendar 2-years ago after having a partial hysterectomy to keep up with the revolving hormonal toll that happens every 28-days. I was looking to make a few calendar notes of cramps, hot flashes, nausea and stuff — instead I have learned MUCH MORE about my body than I could have ever anticipated. This calendar has flowers on it every month that point out to me that these are days of Ovulation. Prior to using this calendar I had trouble keeping up with that stuff. At this stage in my life it Really Makes A Difference. I am 48 and officially in menopause and thanks (in part), to this calendar I am not having a scary and unpredictable time. In fact it’s very predictable (hot flashes, chocolate cravings, sore breast, etc) thanks to this chronicling calendar. I also love that it allows me to make notes on each calendar day about intimacies or fluctuating feelings. Thanks Developers! Way to go!.AvoQuiVersion: 3.8
All-Around Great TrackerI downloaded Period Diary about 4 years after I got my Mirena IUD. For those first few blissful years, I had no period whatsoever and life was grand. When it came back, I started tracking so that I could know when I needed to have pads and tampons on hand. As I logged more information, the tracker became more accurate and I was able to better estimate my cycle length and ovulation by pairing the app’s predictions with my physiological observations. It also comes in handy when at the gynecologist’s office and I’m asked for the date of my last menstrual period.
I am not at the point of trying to conceive, but I imagine Period Tracker becomes even more useful in that scenario. Logging my period makes even that less than fun time of month a little brighter. The app is very easy to use and good at what it does. I’ll continue to use it for as long as I have a period!.KtfuchsVersion: 3.6
Best Period tracking/mood appThis is hands down the best period app I’ve ever tried (and I’ve downloaded and/or paid for quite a few over the years). I’ve had really heavy periods along with intense PMS each month for years, and wanted to try the app to help balance my mood swings and PMS, along with letting me know my cycle better. Along with helping to sync up my cycle so I know when I’m ovulating and allowing me to know ahead of time when my expected period will be, the app also does a great job every day of letting me know additional information like what vitamins I may need, or the best foods to accompany my flow. It also suggests workouts that are best, depending on the time in my cycle, which are great. I’ve noticed a huge difference in my PMS/cravings/mood each cycle and realize my body needed more nutrients than I was giving it..Laura's Blonde MomentsVersion: 4.3.6
Erased dataUPDATE: time zones affect the data on your calendar so heads up if you’re going on vacation and see that your data’s been erased?!?! The team responded to my email and once arriving home, my data was recovered.
I’ve been using this app for over two years and have grown from just logging my periods. I would log my intimate dates and end up using this as a legitimate diary to log about my days. I traveled today and when I opened my app to show a friend something, all my logs were erased with the exception of one I wrote two days ago. Alongside all the days I was intimate have been eradicated and it’s frustrating to lose all this data. For two years I’ve written down dreams and much more and would rate this 5 stars if I could get my data back😕😕😕..AdarooooooodVersion: 3.6
Some good and badI’ve been a user for so long. And updates are normal, like updates help fix bugs, and make the app match new styles of the company and apps. But there was a recent update that I myself and others don’t really like. The “log your symptoms” has changed so much. And now all I log in is if my period is heavy, light, medium, if I have acne, blackheads and consolation, and my mood (confused, angry, and calm). Like wth! Those are my only options. Before I could log if I was hungry, if I had back pain, am I bloated, how bad is my constipation, etc. Oh and before the update I could log in my notes etc! I honestly wish this new update kept the format of the others for the symptom thingy because this is the only app that I can use that doesn’t say it’s for 9+ and has chat rooms, and videos on “educational” thingssss. Please take this into consideration before making the next update..Barbara e-grillVersion: 4.3.2
A few bugs.First off before I criticize this app I must say it is still an app on my phone and I use it and it is very handy and is the best period tracker I've used. Now there is one bug. When I start my period the app sill says I'm late. And everyday of my period I have to manually click on each and everyday I'm on it, and it keeps saying can not change can not change, or it will delete my Previous day of starting my period, or it will think I started my period everytime. It does not manually count I have to click each and everyday from start to end my period, or it will say my period lasted 1 day. So I kinda have to fight with it to get my start to end date correct. It just a little bug. Idk how to fix it. Or if it is indeed supposed to do that. Other than that I love the app and a little fighting is worth keeping it on my phone..Creat nicknamevVersion: 3.6
Best period tracking appI’ve used this app every month to keep track of my period since 2014. I like to know what day I will likely be starting my period without having to calculate the days since my last period or remember the dates myself. So easy to use, just open the app and it gives you a countdown to what day your period should start, and in my experience it is usually very accurate down to the day. When first starting to track your period with this app, you will want to keep in mind that it will take a few months of logging your cycle for the app to accurately calculate when your next period will be, since everyone is different and it is based on how long your past cycles have been. Thanks so much for this app!.Not DestinyVersion: 3.6
Flower period appThis app is the best one I have found. My daughter just turned 13 and will not download it on her phone. She’s very embarrassed and doesn’t want anyone to see it. So, it’s on my phone. She just calls to tell me her cycle started or ended. She was pretty cute when we told her about her period would be coming in the next few years. She asked “ does it only happen one time”? I said “no, it happens every month”. That didn’t go over well at all. Then she asked “ how many times total would she get it?” I said for about 40 years. It was totally hysterical to me how she reacted but she was completely mortified. So, going back to the original question- yes! It’s a fantastic app and I hope it gets off my phone soon. I’m 49, I did my time!!.Carol and AshleighVersion: 3.6
No bugs - mmpbTo previous reviewer - I think it’s just the way the app is programed —so you would need to enter just start date & end date of your periods (not every single day you’re on) so yeah.
i like this app. Just 1 added feature i’d like to see: if there could be a summary list for all the notes i’ve taken every day. idk if other ladies would take different notes other than the available ones that are available in the app such as mood, temp etc, but i do keep track of my bm & what other intimate things i note. so i’d love love it if i can view all my notes on 1 page say for like the week or the month and then if incan export it or take pic of it or send to my notes for data keeps, that'll b super awesome. thanks-.Reviewer mmpbVersion: 3.6
New & happy user!Recently I left using an app that I had been using for many years (has the same name as my favorite board game) because they took away almost all the analysis, predictions, and easy-to-read views and put it behind a paywall. I’ve been a Bellabeat Leaf user for many years, too, so when I saw Bellabeat had a period tracking app I decided to give it a try. I’ve used it for a week, but I’m already a happy user. The analysis and predictions are easily accessible and FREE! Plus the user-interface is really nice. Before this I would recommend your fitness tracker/app to everyone. Now I’ll recommend Period Diary, too! Thank you, Bellabeat!.RjolmsteadVersion: 5.3.7
I like itI love this application for tracking my period it has a lot of nice features. But the updated version is kind of ugly to me. The old one had a pretty flower that made me feel empowered to be a woman ( for the tabs) and also I really think they need to add on the feature when you get pregnant. Im very surprised they don’t have that already in there. Other than that I really enjoy this app. It has helped me keep track of my period cycle, and ovulation days which is so important! Unfortunately, when the app updated itself it deleted allllll my past loggings so that was slightly devastating. But for it being free it has helped a lot..SashaBabeszVersion: 4.3.5
Great app, wish it was apple watch compatible!Great app and fairly easy to use (I have run into a bit of difficulty adjusting period length/start date, but that could just be me). I love that you can get pretty detailed with everything and that there’s a daily note section where you can add whatever you want, I just wish I could have a version of it on my watch too! Sometimes I don’t have my phone on me, so it would be great if I could record data from my watch and it sync with the app on my phone. Doesn’t have to be as detailed as the phone app, but even just something basic would be great!.Kat0824Version: 5.1.4
Please expand appThis is truly a great app. It can be a little confusing at first but this is about periods - we’re all confused - yes???
Anyway - I would love for the developers to expand this app into the perimenopause/menopause area. I’ve been searching and searching and there’s not an app that bridges from menstruation and ovulation into the premenopausal time of a woman’s life. IMO - it’s a greatly needed area as women’s bodies are changing A LOT and an app like this would be greatly helpful for the user and the healthcare professionals trying to get us through this strange time in life. Please consider this - you have a HUGE population of women either in peri menopause or are approaching that time. Tracking periods and moods while in these older years can be extremely helpful while working with healthcare staff to get through it. Thx!!.KurschybeeVersion: 3.6
Best period trackerI’ve been using this app for over a year, and haven’t had any problems with it. I’d love for there to a notification option, or better yet, an email option. So that you could receive a private email reminder (or app notification) when you’re 5-7 days away from starting. In some weeks, I’ve used the notes sections, but I find that I rarely remember to use it. At the risk of being annoying, it might be helpful to have a “What are your symptoms and emotions today?” notification in the evenings during your period, and maybe a day or two before and after? I’m definitely satisfied with the app as it stands though! (obviously, I’ve used it every month for a year and a half!).SuzilandVersion: 3.6
3 babies in 4 years and done!Using this tracker I successfully planned 3 pregnancies in 4 years. I liked that it gave a range of ovulation days, so we knew which week we should be "trying" on. Each time it was accurate because only once did it take us more than 2 months of trying. And one time it only took the one try. Perhaps we are just really fertile, but it was good to know when I would be fertile so we could also plan not to get pregnant in between babies. Now I'm done with baby making and I use it to track my period just so I know when it's coming and I like that I can add notes about my emotions and how heavy the flow is on each day..TeachCoach3Version: 3.6
Added “start period” buttonLol, I came here to specifically complain about not being able to press “start period.” Every time I started I would have an issue locating it, after the remake, but this time I pressed it and checked back a couple of days later and it still was counting down my period! That was a very convenient button on the last version before the app revamp.
I’ve been using PD for 10 years now and it’s always been user friendly. I understand with a revamp changes will still be made and suggestions will be weighed heavily. I’m glad y’all listened and added that button that was so useful, simple and quick on the older version..Nice childVersion: 4.3.3
Unexpectedly the bestOkay listen, I NEVER write reviews because I can never be bothered to; yet I rely on reviews for everything I buy lol. ANYWAY. I literally downloaded this around 5 years ago because it was the first app I saw and it was free, so I was like “cool whatever yeah.” As time has gone on, the app has really adjusted to my cycle and since I’ve had it as a teenager and I’ve had my cycle figure itself out, now as I get my period and I go to log it in the app, the countdown is almost always at “0 days left!” Aka my period is going to start. It’s INSANE. I don’t use the app to track for fertility or anything, it’s literally just so I know when it’s coming up. I love this app..SamtrimbleVersion: 3.6
Best ads, no in app purchase, no hidden feeHonest app that works are so hard to find these days, and this is one of them. I have been replying on this app since 2012, and it has always been accurate predicting my time of the month. No surprises blood spots! There are no pop ups, no in app purchase for some simple features, and no ads hopping out left and right like all the other period trackers out there. I especially dislike other apps with fake reviews, bumping their app to a 5 Star. This app however, star rating is not enough to even describe how much it has served me. It’s more reliable than my husband and I’d so marry it!.KurotsubasaVersion: 3.6
Like the app but it needs key itemsAs a female ovulation and period tracker it seems like it’s missing one big “term” for flow under symptoms. Spotting is such a big thing in female Menstruation and it would be very beneficial to be able to log how many days prior to starting period or between periods a person spots. Being able to have it available with period info would make it a lot simpler when discussing with doctor. Another item I feel really should be added to this app is the ability to add the date of your last Pap smear and when the next one is due. Having all that information available in one app would be very beneficial to so many women..CalibabeleslieVersion: 4.3.6
Accurate for a few months, then becomes unpredictableI’ve had this app off and on for several years. I say “off and on” because the calendar is accurate for 6 months or so, then derails itself so I have to delete the app, re-download, and have another accurate reading for 6 more months until it screws up again. I understand that it “learns” your cycle after so many periods, and will change its predictions accordingly. Well, I have a very regular cycle (5 days menstruating during a 28 day cycle, sorry if tmi) and after so many months it will change my predictions to last 8 days or longer! One time it had me down for a 14 day period! It’s too unpredictable, so I am finally deleting it for good. I’ve saved all of my dates and am trying a new app..Mira913Version: 3.6
7 year userI have used this app for 7 years and have recommended it on many occasions because I loved it so much. To be honest, I’m not at all happy with the recent design update. I feel the calendar is too busy and unorganized to the eye and isn’t as easy to read at a glance. The old calendar had clear boxes like a regular calendar which was a quick reference. If there is a way to change it, I have been unable to find it. Honestly, I dislike the design layout so much, I may be looking for a new app which I hate because this app holds years of important information for me. Like most women, I have a busy schedule and I need something I can quick reference at a glance. Sorry, but the simplicity of this app was the reason I loved it. 😔.Smasher rookieVersion: 3.8
Most useful app I’ve ever usedI’ve been using this app since 2012. It takes only a few months for it to establish your pattern and it makes pretty accurate predictions. I knew exactly when I was ovulating and it helped make getting pregnant easier. I have recommended it to friends, who were also trying to get pregnant, and they too had successes using this apps predictions. I have been on and off birth control for the last 5 years and this app is the only thing that helps me know when I can expect my period. I also like how I can download my data so that I can keep it for future reference..KB20122019Version: 3.6
Pretty goodI love using this app because I know when to start preparing for my period. There are a couple minor things though. First of all when I got this app I was so confused on how to use it. When I was on my period it said like "19 days left" or something and I thought "My period will end in 19 days?" I have figured this out though. So it would be nice if you could do a small tutorial video. Second of all, I applied a password but a couple months later I tried logging in and it said my password was incorrect and I know I did it right. I had to delete the app and download it again. Not sure if this is normal or not. But still I like it and would recommend it to friends. 👍.Sparklekitty Meow 😺😺😺Version: 3.6
Pop ups galore; it does it's jobI have never been able to properly keep track for whatever reason. This app has been great in keeping me on top of it. No more guessing! I love how it estimates the days for me and averages everything out. Easy to use, minus a star for all of the ridiculously annoying pop ups that fill the screen and/or suddenly appear when you go to click on something.
Edit: I've apparently been using this app since 2011 and I still love it! They got rid of the pop-ups and I love how you can sync it with your calendar...(is that weird?)
Anyhow, highly recommend it. Updated to 5 stars!.ChelséVersion: 3.6
Longtime userI love this period tracker app. I’ve used 2 different ones over the course of my life and this one helps me the most.
One feature I would love to be added in an update: birth control methods, including surgical sterilization. I wish these period tracker apps would allow me to add in birth control. I love that it tracks my fertility, when I’m ovulating, and when I could be fertile. However I recently became surgically sterile. But I still get my periods. I would like to continue to use this app for tracking when I get my periods, but I wish I could turn off the fertility feature..RentorarVersion: 4.3.6
Wonderful AppI got this app because I would constantly stress about when my period would start and then it would start at the most unexpected time. As you could guess this was quite frustrating. I tried a few different apps and they all wanted you to pay to have full access to the app. After I came across this, I was shocked at how well of an app it is. I found a simple layout with many different features, such as what symptoms I was experiencing and what’s moods i felt throughout the day. Overall I love this app and it makes my life a whole lot easier. I highly recommend it to all girls!.SocoolcammerwammerVersion: 3.6
The old previous design was way betterThank you, Period Diary, for upgrading the app into something fancy and more feminine. I appreciate your efforts to make the app users happy and want us to enjoy the app. I just updated the P.D app and get to see what's new. Now that I have seen the updated features, I find the old (which was the previous one) design more accessible, convenient, and easy to use. One thing I noticed that didn't help was the one tone color in the 'Calendar' field, the old design has an easy-to-read feature than the new one. I'm sorry I had to say these, but I hope all your efforts won't be put to nothing, some areas may still be changed for a more convenient app. Again, thank you and Merry Christmas!⛄️.YvonnelyramnVersion: 4.0.4
Idea for improvementOne of the best period apps I’ve come across. The design is simple and easy to use and doesn’t overcomplicate or overwhelm like other period apps do. I also appreciate the motto that this app should be free for women! The one thing that made me turn away from the app is because it doesn’t have a basal body temperature chart. The current app I use has a terrible user interface but I stick with it simply because the temperature charts make for a more accurate prediction and better understanding of my body. I will retry this app if they ever come out with a chart as that is the main thing I’m looking for..Blu3fireworkVersion: 5.1.2
Update gone wrong?I’ve had this app for more than a year now. I really loved it. I could track a lot of things on it as well as put in notes. Even if I forgot to start the tracker, I could always back track. This new update doesn’t allow me to back track, or start with continuous tracking, if I try to start it a day or two later. It is only start and stop. And if I’m in the middle of my week and I start the tracking late, i can’t adjust it until after my time is over. Therefore it’s not tracking me anymore. I love the new look, but disappointed in the downgrade of certain features. Will see if I continue to use it since I did love it in the past...Nat-A-Tat-Tat JohnsonVersion: 5.0.7

Better than beforeIve had this app for around 10 years now. At first i really loved it, everything worked really well and there was tons of options for symptoms and tracking.
Then a few years ago they completely revamped the app and i HATED it. It would crash every time i tried using it and wasn't as great as before. I stuck with it because i had invested so much time at that point.
A few weeks ago (i think) they updated/revamped the app again. This time i actually don't mind what they've done. Everything seems to be working (finally) and there’s a lot of newer features on the app (or maybe they were always there and I couldn't find them before).
I’m giving 3 stars mostly to be hopeful that this app has returned to actually being good..JunhuiluvrVersion: 5.0.2

Period Diary Ovulation Tracker Negative Reviews
Accepting the termsThis app was actually okay until I updated because nowadays apps just shut you out until you update them.
Anyway, I actually do not agree to all of the terms, specially the ones mentioning using my personal information for their gain and/ or being able to hackle me with ads pushing whatever products. Also, I did not wish to login through my Facebook since I specially signed up with a designated email. Having me go through FB is crossing the line for me due to the information they could gain from their backdoor access. Unfortunately, I have the dilema of been using this app since my early high school years (at least) and have created MANY notes (due to my cycle and its antics). Agreeing to terms and policy may be “standard”. However, the terms laid before me were not okay with me. It is wrong to *force me to agree OR *I lose all of my data*. It’s invasive, and to use the threat of someone “losing” there data is pure crap.
It has the options laid out as if I can choose what to agree to, yet I could not move forward with using the app UNTIL I clicked to agree to ALL of the options. A small disclaimer states that I can withdraw my consent at any time, but as soon as the app was open, it stated that not agreeing to the terms could “possibly” result in *lost data*..NicknamewhatevernumbernottakenVersion: 4.1.1
Glitchy & SlowI have been using this app for years much like other recent reviewers and I have found in recent months that there has been increased glitches, delayed responses and freezes on the app. I even came here (App Store) to find that the app needed to be updated. I updated it thinking “Oh! This is probably why there have been so many issues, it’s just outdated and needs an update” however, I was wrong. I updated the app and the new design and images are really nice and everything is more lively and colorful on the app however, there are still issues with trying to click on items to select it and there is a delay or difficulties to make changes. And weirdly enough it won’t even let me choose the day I’m presently on. It will only allow me to look at the calendar up to the previous day. So really the update was useless, I guess it is just the app.
Unfortunately, I guess it is time to get a new app. I really need a reliable cycle tracking app and this one no longer works like I need it to..Bribri_loves_uVersion: 5.0.1
Please put the old design back!I understand that Bella has decided to redesign everything so it goes with their brand, but now it seems foreign and less intuitive. I don’t like that the calendar only uses a color key now — the icons or pictures that were used before were much more helpful. It was more friendly and I prefer the flower. It was simple and intuitive and reliable. As women we wouldn’t want to suddenly switch gynecologists so why would we want our private little app to suddenly have a new face, and for it to have been resigned as part of a bigger purpose - to sell a brand/goods/services? When I click on app support it goes to the Bella website. That’s not a link to the developers. I don’t feel comfortable with this new look and feel at all. And the comforting flower really didn’t need to turn into an acidic citrus fruit. I spend so much time clicking on tabs and not really seeing things as well as I did with the previous version. If it’s not broken don’t fix it. Nobody said this new version is better. You released the change to benefit your business, not to benefit your users..Gracey4uVersion: 3.8
Not the same, lost all data, awful to navigateUpdate. I was able to access the app again and something happened and all of those notes I talked about below is gone, erased. All of my logged periods gone, everything gone. I’ve lost everything I needed so I’ll be deleting the app as I don’t even like the whole interface. I just wanted to easily see my periods and the notes I made and since I no longer have any of it, no point in keeping it. I’ll just keep any new into in notes. The app used to be so simple to use, now it’s bloated with things I don't need, i’m menopausal, no plans to get pregnant, I liked seeing the simple log of my periods start and finish….Older review info: use this app to log symptoms to help me tell what’s heart related versus hormone. Also helps me see how my cycle is doing as I get closer to menopause. I’m close to 2 weeks late again but I can’t be sure as everything is logged on this app that’s no longer working. I’m fixing to see a new ogbyn and I’ll be needing this data..Javajoy01Version: 5.2.13
Do NOT update latest version!! Crazy SLOWI have noticed lately that app has has quite a few glitches. Then today, I updated (not knowing I needed to plus I was searching for other reliable period apps). So I updated thinking this may help. It looks like the app is incomplete. I select icons that take me no where. I select a day and it takes me to the previous day. More glitches than I was prepared to handle. I am bummed because this app has years of data to track prior symptoms and now I am in the market to search for an app for better fertility and pregnancy tracking. It’s unfortunate this new app is malfunctioning even after closing it multiple times. I will keep it but will not be able to use it unless the issue is fixed!! Please fix the latest versions. I only saw a few improvements when it worked for a millisecond but for now it will be used as archived data to pull from for a new and better functioning period/ovulation etc app..Dr. JLHVersion: 5.0.1
Needs fixingI have loved using this app over the years. I cannot remember how long I have had it, but I believe I started using it before the birth of my oldest who is now 10 years old. There have been many changes and updates since then and all have been great until now. I don’t know if there are bugs to work out, but the last few updates have completely messed up the app. It keeps duplicating period logs, not showing dates for my period logs, the calendar is not working with the other tabs, it’s not registering I am on my period after clicking I have started, the log is saying I have finished my period even though I am still on it, and the calendar is showing I am on my period but isn’t registering the periods correctly. As someone who heavily relies on this app to keep track of my periods and ovulation day, I am tempted to start looking at other apps.
IF they can fix the problems I will happily continue using the app, since until the last few updates this app has been great..Konehead13Version: 5.0.2
AWFUL update and privacy termsAfter using and loving the app for 3 years, I will be deleting it. It used to provide me with a free, straightforward, and very detailed way to log my periods, all symptoms and moods, and the severity of those symptoms and moods over time. That is all I wanted from this app. Unfortunately I can’t get that anymore. The latest update is garbage; the new graphics and emojis used for logging details are so annoying and off putting. That aside, they got rid of the ability to catalog the intensity of any symptoms (i.e. back pain or acne) other than flow, which was super important to me. You also can’t input any form of birth control other than the pill. The tradeoff I got for a decrease in functionality is tabs/ads for superfluous workouts, meditations, etc. that are not free and that I don’t want, and being forced to agree to the selling of my data (hello even more ads) to even get into the app after updating. Will be deleting as soon as I copy my past data over to another platform. Not sure why they had to ruin a good thing..Why did you ruin it????Version: 4.1.2
Everything disappearedI’ve been using this app for many many years and I needed to get a new phone. Once I got my new phone and re-enterred my password etc the whole app look and even name changed (I even went in and paid for the other app that looked more like the one I had been using but this one cost which my other one was free and on my phone already called period diary and after paying that one didn’t have my info either) AND all my past several years of period tracking all disappeared and there was no one to even contact to find out what happened so now I’m completely starting from scratch which this information should be stored someplace but I cannot figure out how to access it bc the app doesn’t have any contact us or chat place to ask questions or get assistance. It’s so frustrating to have it work great and then all my data be gone overnight. I had it tracking my period to the day but now it’s all messed up. I’m so annoyed by this.Nagfreedom25Version: 3.8.4
What’s with the new look??What’s with the new look!?
I’ve been using this app for more than 5 years and it has been easy to read and easy to use. My phone auto updated and as I opened it this morning to mark my period, I had this completely different app and look. So different, in fact that I thought they completely deleted my old application and information. That tracking has been very important for me and my doctors...
The new calendar looks smaller and is difficult to read, particularly with the numbers of the month kind of floating with no architectural containment. The colored dots, I imagine, are supposed make it clean and sleek but it’s just not. It’s hard for me to see which days are which. When you make notes on a day the little dot changes to black and you can’t tell what kind of day it was supposed to be...which is the whole point of using this app.
If someone didn’t like the screen on the previous version of the app, they could change the “skin” or the design. Upon looking in the user guide, it says that you can change the appearance in the settings...but there’s no option the settings menu for appearance—so you can’t.
You should be given the option to have a similar calendar or other appearances to make it easier for different kinds of women to use. We are not all looking for the same vast clean whiteness. Some of us need a structural look.
Also, did not appreciate the being taken by surprise..RainyroseVersion: 3.8
Confused and FrustratedAfter switching to this new format, this app became not user friendly at all! Dates, even through 2022 and farther back, are not listed as the correct day of the week. Plus, now when adding or editing a note it’s attaching itself to the wrong date. On top of that, it doesn’t seem like notes that were added in the past have saved correctly.
I’ve been using the app for many years now, and I am one that will still go back and check/compare previous notes. But obviously that’s an issue if they’re not showing up or in the correct day. All in all it’s just been a very frustrating experience.
I don’t want to change apps because of the extensive history on this one, but it may have to come to that if things can’t be resolved. It would be a shame to have to transfer everything in my history, or lose years worth of data..Peacelovedance101Version: 5.0.4
Don’t like update to log viewUpdate changed the period log view to where you can only see one line at a time for past and predicted periods. I prefer a view that shows multiple lines to see all the data on start/end dates and length of cycle without having to go to the calendar view.
Updated review— there have been additional updates to the app and they are horrible. I use to open the app and it would immediately say how many days until my next period. Now it opens to asking me to enter the date of my last period. I already logged that period, so this is not helpful. The only thing I can find that says when my period might start is a green square in the calendar, which doesn’t match the date of my next predicted period on another screen. This app is just too difficult, changes are not helpful, info is all over the place. Deleted it from my phone and am getting a new one..BerhicksVersion: 4.0.4
Bellabeat Ruined This AppI used to really like this app- I found it visually appealing, and it had all the functionalities I was looking for. I personally liked being able to symptom and mood track, and found these features to be easy with the app. I also liked how customizable it was.
HOWEVER, since it has been taken over by bellabeat, all of this has changed. The new appearance is ugly and makes no sense, and there is no way to change the skin (this function has been removed, despite being listed in the app description on the App Store). The icon is just marketing for the company, and has nothing to do with the app itself. The functions have been rearranged/reworked, and I find it less user friendly. Lastly, I have found the app to be glitchy/slow lately.
Unfortunately, since I quite liked the app until recently, I will be exporting my data and then finding a new app to use..DerpySnekLadyVersion: 3.8.1
Would have given it 5 and half 🌟!I have loved this app for so long! Until last month when it all changed. I wonder if the app editors have ever heard the old adage, “Don’t fix it if ain’t broke.” For the most part they kept the layout the same, but changed the look of everything. 🤬 Before, you could look at the flowers and they were so cute, you knew exactly what emotion they reflected. You didn’t have to read the emotion to guess what it was supposed to represent. It was fun to keep daily logs. Now the emoji faces are so ugly and stupid looking, everything is a guess. The calendar hurts my eyes to look at now; it is so confusing. I hate the look of the whole thing! I wish it would just go back to the way it was. If it doesn’t get better soon, I’ll have to start looking for another app. What a shame because this one used to be perfect!.RedDogueRealtyVersion: 3.8.1
Horrible new interfaceI’ve had this app for years and I loved it. But the new interface and updates make it impossible to use or understand anything. Trying to change a period date messes up EVERYTHING. It keeps adding random days to my period even when I delete them. Also the cycle log page is so confusing I just want to see the exact dates I have my period not the whole cycle ??? The previous version I could easily do math to figure out when my next period is and this new version I could sit on this page for an hour and still be confused and probably get the wrong date anyways because the app keeps adding a day before my period is supposed to start - sadly I’m gonna keep using this app probably since it has all my data but if I can figure out a way to move the data to another app I will.Mel12123Version: 5.0.8
I’m done!!!I have been a user of Period Diary for over 6 years now. My period was super irregular when it first started (I did sports), so this app really helped to keep track of my cycle. The calendar was easy to view and I could quickly track how my period was going. The symptoms and mood emojis were clear and cute. The fact that you could pick your own background made it really personal and down to earth. It was honestly the best app ever.
However, ever since Bellabeat took it over the app has just gone down hill. The first update left the calendar too small to read, insignificant colors and ugly pink marshmallow symptoms and moods that came off as a poor attempt to “keep up with the times.”
Now, as if that weren’t enough, the new update has deleted all of my information. Six years of tracking forever gone because you all couldn’t leave well enough alone..Munchies25Version: 4.0.4
Not easy to useThis app used to be pretty straight forward. But since the last update it makes absolutely no sense. It took me 20 min to figure out how to log the start of my period, and another 20 a week later to figure out how to log the end of it. It is not intuitive AT ALL anymore. And I cannot for the life of me find the list of all of my previous periods anymore. It used to be laid out in a nice list of start and end dates. Now it’s all cycle lengths. That may be important to some but when I go to the doctor they’ve never once asked me about my ovulation or fertility. Just the first day of my last period. I don’t even know how to answer that question anymore. And the calendar is marked with red and green days. But who knows what each means?? I’ll be looking for a new app now. This one has gone down the toilet..DetmislucVersion: 5.0.8
What’s with the new look?I’ve been using this app for years and have liked every little improvement, like the addition of the forum, up until now. What is this design? It’s so slick and hard to understand. Before the app made it so clear what days were period days and what day were ovulation days. Now the difference is the color of this little dot in the corner of each calendar day which appears black if you’ve written a bit on that day, regardless of what it’s designated color is supposed to be. Very confusing. I preferred the little flower emotions and the ability to choose what colors it was as well. Also why did the app suddenly remove my password when it changed versions? That makes me skeptical about this change. I’m honestly debating deleting the app and getting a different one because this app is no longer as effective...-.23Version: 3.8
Deleting this app nowThe last time I used this app was in Jan when I added my last cycle. I’ve used this app for years w/o issues. I used the free version because all I needed it for was to help me keep track of my cycle. I came back today to check and see how much longer I have since I’m not regular. I can sort of gauge a window of time for my next cycle. Anyway, I came back to having to answer so many questions. No “skip” allowed. And if I’m using the free version, you don’t need my age or any other info from me. Then it asks me how I want to “log in”. Never had that before either with the free version. So now, I have to start over with a different app. Some may see this as no big deal, and maybe it’s not. However, it wasn’t broke, I feel you should have left it alone. And you don’t need my info..Spncrs mumVersion: 5.0.4
Update made it uselessThe new update has made the app completely useless. It used to predict period length, ovulation, etc by using your previously entered data and averaging to give a relatively accurate prediction. Now you have to manually enter in your period length, ovulation dates, etc. this is useless. Not to mention the new app is not user friendly and is super confusing and hard to read. The calendar has no grid lines and is really hard to use. If this app is not returned to its original format, I will be finding a new app, which is really frustrating since I have years of data in this app and I’ve started peri menopause and really needed my old data to help me make sense of my new crazy cycles. This app was perfect before. You didn’t improve it, you ruined it. And you’ve inconvenienced every one of your loyal users..KelleyMarie1978Version: 3.8
Terrible updateI have been a user of this app since 2015 and loved it so much I had my young daughter start using once she started her cycle too. However, this new update is not user friendly. If grown adults can’t figure out how to use it, young teens can’t either. Trying to see when my next period is should not be this complicated. I’m strongly considering deleting the app and getting something different. Something more user friendly. And seeing that there’s tons of long term users for this app in the reviews feeling the same way, I strongly suggest you guys update this app back to its original version before you lose even more subscribers! I’ll be deleting if it’s not updated back in the next 2 weeks and no longer will be recommending it to other women either..Danifresh19Version: 5.1.0
What happened to this app?I just updated the app and nothing makes sense anymore! All the little buts and pieces of info are gone. The days don’t match any calendars!

Please return this app to how it was before the update!!When I was younger, I never used to have the habit of tracking my periods regularly… I did not see the point because I thought my periods were inconsistent. A friend of mine eventually introduced me to this app a couple of years back saying it was amazing. I downloaded it and after using it for a few months, I came to really like it. This app allowed me to properly track my period for the first time in my life. And because of this app, I came to realize my periods were actually regular. This app used to be great - it had a simple layout, was easy to use, and was useful. Most importantly, it was accurate - it used to be able to tell me the exact day my period was going to come every month.
However, the key word here is “used to be.” After the update, using this app is confusing. The layout is complicated. And for some reason it is now difficult to log the exact start and end dates of my period… sometimes it glitches and won’t let me click on the dates on the calendar, other times I have to click on the dates several times before it works. Worst of all, after the app updated, allll my logging dates of the last 3-4 years disappeared. On top of that, I’ve noticed that for the last 2 months the app hasn’t been telling me the date my period is going to arrive. I’m pretty bummed out because of it. This app was great, and now, not so much. Downloading a different app is not that big of a deal, but the fact that I have to start from scratch with no data is actually quite frustrating. If there was any way to return this app to how it used to be, that would be amazing. More importantly, is there any way for my data to be returned to me???.AllnicknamestriedtakenhereyagoVersion: 5.2.5

Update erases your data!!! DO NOT UPDATE! FIND NEW APPI have been using this app for well over six years to document my cycle. I was forced to update, I wasn’t allowed to see or open the app and the update erased all of my history, data, and notes. There’s absolutely no excuse for that. If you had good developers, this should’ve been caught before deploy. The new app was not an improvement. The new interface is not user-intuitive or user-friendly. It is clunky, and requires way too many clicks to do simple things. No more simple cycle tracking. Time to find a new app.

Waste of a previously good appUsed this app for years. Now it’s junk. Do not use or waste your time. At one point you could download a pdf of all your notes. Now if you want that data you have to pay a subscription fee to get it and even then it doesn’t give you the notes field. So any notes you may have made and need are not available to download. Huge cash grab for nothing.
Also new interface is so bad. Makes you wonder if the developers even know what a woman’s cycle is.
Once upon a time it was a great app. Easy to use and free. But times have changed and not for the better. AVOID THIS APP AT ALL COST..FrostycheeksVersion: 5.1.3

However as I can’t use for the basic function I need it for to log my period I have made the decision to delete this app and try something else..KjdyhrnrnfiVersion: 5.0.8
The most recent update ruined everythingEver since the most recent update, this app has been everything BUT user friendly. When selecting the start date of my period for some reason the app decided to chose the day before which made ZERO sense it had me questioning if I selected the right date. When I went in to manually fix it, it wouldn’t let me select the right day again! Drove me absolutely nuts but after a few attempts for it to register the day I wanted I was finally able to make the correct adjustments but it shouldn’t be that difficult.. Also, as a lot of recent reviews stated, the data I had been tracking previously for the last 10 years or so was lost. Having the ability to easily log what was happening day to day became so much harder as well and I just can’t understand why they broke something that didn’t need to be fixed in the first place! The design looks great but I’m seriously looking into a new app at this point...@highinjulyVersion: 5.0.8
