Period Tracker - Eve Reviews

by Mishbell710

I joined so I could track my periods, ovulation, and eventual pregnancy. Initially I thought the community was a great addition, where I could speak to other women for support and have good conversation. But it quickly turned into a nasty experience. Majority of the conversations turned political, even when the topic had nothing to do with politics. The mass majority were 99% liberal extremist views, and a witch hunt to attack any of the remaining 1% conservative views. Especially if you’re a Christian. Majority of the women were nasty, rude, threatening, and condescending. The “report” feature and “mute/block” feature are completely ineffective, as the admin never responded or removed any of the terribly mean and disgusting content. Basically it’s just an app for bullies to fester and feed their egos. I’ve been trying for days to delete my account because I’m consistently being attacked by users, but my account is still there. I’ve been emailing admin about it for days and there’s been zero response. Let’s not even mention the slew of underage children posting photos of their vagina and discharge and asking how they can get pregnant to trap their boyfriends! PeriodTracker is dangerous and legit has illegal underage activity and nudes. DO NOT get PeriodTracker!!

PeriodTracker just leaves me with an icky feeling. After interacting with it for six months, I’m weirded out by the target audience (clearly young girls) and the amount of sexual information being thrown at them - topics and techniques that I feel are inappropriate at that young of an age. I’m all for the empowerment of women and their bodies, but you connect with a wide and diverse community but you don’t know the ages of the other women and on many topics, these age groups would not normally be conversing. It’s just too much.

Logging itself is comical and young girl oriented. Even though I turned off notifications and “unjoined” as many groups as possible, sexual deviations and questions are constantly being thrown in my face. And the daily ads of “join flow for free - huge discounted rate” mixed with the power to unlock more sexual tips and arrivals.... yuck yuck yuck. Are the 12 and 13 year olds using PeriodTracker getting the same crap??? Are they reading the stories of one night stands, first lesbian experiences, and cheating on their best friend’s man? Why in the world are we exposing our kids to this stuff??

So I gave it a good try, but on moral grounds I am deleting all my info and moving in elsewhere. Don’t even get me started about security breeches and what they actually do with all the info you give them... just do a google search and find the it for yourself!

I like that I’m able to keep track of my periods and view them on calendars. It helps knowing when my period’s coming so I can plan trips around it. I like the daily logs, but after you do a log, there are notifications trying to pep you up and give you scientific information and they never have anything to do with what you logged. i.e. I might log that I’m sad because of work and the notification will say I’m happy because of my relationship. I tried notifying the developer of this issue using the in-app feature, but I can’t report it because I don’t pay for any of the gems. Other than the developer not being open to feedback, PeriodTracker serves its purpose for tracking period systems and cycles.

Edit: The developer added a link through PeriodTracker store to provide feedback which was a step in the right direction until I completed the form and wasn’t able to submit it to them. There are gems that repeat information from week to week, some of the quizzes don’t provide factual information, and Bedsider asks questions for you to ponder then doesn’t provide you with the answer. Just keep PeriodTracker for tracking periods because the rest of PeriodTracker is useless and you still can’t submit feedback.

1. Can’t save my log. Want to be able to email or save as pdf. Now I refuse to update bc I’m scared to lose my info which I see other reviews complained about.
2. Layout needs improvement. Too much going on and the calendar views needs to meet the eye better instead of all those so-called health insights, quizzes, gossip etc. I rather have the calendar open up and I tap on a date to input info. You have to start inputting symptoms and then pick a date/time. Don’t understand why this option is mixed in with health insights when my personal period calendar is not a health insight. Also, an insight to my symptoms do not always pop up after I log. When they do, many are very repetitive and I only get a new insight IF i click on a new symptom. Which sometimes end with its time for some relaxation babe... where’s the casual professionalism at least?
3. At first i thought i get gems for logging in daily but that seemed to only work the first week. Now it’s a pop up/notification to buy into the monthly subscription to read the gossip. I mean it seems like it would be good info if you are into half that stuff and it’s ashame I see young girls posting in PeriodTracker esp the young girls posting how young they are 😦

I am a transgender man using PeriodTracker to track the unfortunate bodily processes that I still have to deal with. I know for a fact that I am not the only trans masculine person using PeriodTracker and it’s insanely frustrating going on PeriodTracker and seeing everything being geared only to cis women, calling all users “girl” and whatnot, while at the same time posting articles about being sensitive to people’s pronouns and gender identity and the importance of not misgendering people. Shark week is the hardest for me and makes me the most uncomfortable in my body as a man, and there have been times I’ve dreaded going on PeriodTracker to log symptoms for my records for doctors, specifically because I can’t handle being called girl. It’s hard enough in my personal life. Can we PLEASE make PeriodTracker more trans inclusive? Not just updating the trans101 tab with info, but actually fixing the nonstop calling every person using PeriodTracker a female.

TL;DR you can’t very well post articles about not misgendering people while simultaneously misgendering a good portion of your users.

This is the only reason I didn’t give PeriodTracker 5 stars btw.

PeriodTracker has exactly what I was looking for. I love that it shows pregnancy risk percentages and lets you log sex, mood, PMS symptoms and so much more. Unfortunately I find the notifications a little too intense for me. I just got one highlighting a top post from their forum about farting in front of your partner. And with tons of !! to grab your attention (or anyone in view of your phone). And that’s a tame example. I get that it’s trying to create this vibe of like, chatting with your girlfriends. But if I got that notification during a meeting I would be mortified to put it mildly. I can’t think of any reason why someone, even a teenager, would want to see that notification on their phone. I kept them on for a while because I liked getting the more tame notifications about incoming periods, but ultimately I don’t want to risk something super embarrassing with the other, more risqué notifications. I wish PeriodTracker as a whole toned down this vibe. Some may use it to talk to other women but I just want to log stuff. If you have the free version also be prepared to be reminded that you can upgrade for more features basically every time you open PeriodTracker . I think the whole thing could benefit greatly from some simplicity.

This looks like a good way to track your period and has the potential for being very informative birth control wise but I find it very frustrating that many of these bc reminder apps group all the forms of the pill together. The combo pill and P.o.p are very different and I think you should be able to select them separately (maybe be able to select the specific bc method down to the brand name )? I think also more fluidity in being able to track changes in your bc method using PeriodTracker. Like if you had the depo shot and switched to the POPill - what are some possible side effects or pills ? Can we get some accurate info about the possibilities when changing BC... just some thoughts they may seem like minor things but I think they would clear up lots of confusion and stress around managing BC!

Update:
The developer suggested using the community aspect of PeriodTracker to ask questions and receive advice on bc... though in theory this seems like a good way for women looking for answers to get support and advice there is the potential for miss information to be spread. Why not have the facts and info built into PeriodTracker into the first place? At least for such a critical thing as the nuances between different types of birth controls.

PeriodTracker has been excellent at tracking my period as well giving me inside to other things that my period may affect, provides sex to those who may need it, and has a very friendly user interface in the friend version. However I am struck by how heteronormative it is and how wrong and uninclusive it can be to LGBT+ Folks. Especially when it comes to same sex safe sex and trans/enby people related topics. It has provided misinformation on trans people several times. It's also super ciswoman based. Every thing is "hey girl!" Or "what's up lady" which is fine in theory but not all people who have uteruses are women. I feel their lingo could be triggering for those who don't identify as women but have periods leading to dysphoria and other issues that could be avoided by using more inclusive titles and pronouns. And some women don't have uteruses or periods and may just be using PeriodTracker for sex, health, and gender related insite. Obviously it shouldn't replace going to a doctor for major health concerns but still. I'd consider PeriodTracker highly convenient. Just get more actual LGBT+ People on the staff for PeriodTracker so it doesn't seem like this info is coming from a misinformed straight cis woman trying to sound smart in front of her cis lesbian friend.

I’ve had PeriodTracker for a while now, and it worked real well for a while, but it is so slow now. like i will press my notification button for example, like 5 different times and it won’t pop up, i have to restart PeriodTracker multiple times just to read something in a post i wrote to the community. i updated it to the recent update and it still has this problem. maybe it’s my phone? idk! but anyways it’s a good app for the most part.
another problem i get: there are so people in the community section where i will write something needing advice or guidance from someone with the same problem or something and i will get so many passive aggressive or mean comments like do y’all not have moderators to delete comments? yeah it might be a stupid question, but some people didn’t have the education many did have, so like if there’s a way to have moderators or some sort of thing to help keep inappropriate or hateful comments out, that would be nice!

I’ve been using PeriodTracker for three or so years now, and the period tracker is always accurate. However, I’m not enjoying PeriodTracker as much as I used to.

I was never interested in all the gems and premium features, but initially they were easy to bypass and I had no complaints. Now, pretty much everything aside from the tracker and polls are premium features or lead me to an “upgrade now!” screen. I used to be able to log my symptoms and track how I feel throughout my cycle (I’m slightly irregular so this was a helpful feature), but now doing so leads me to yet another paywall that prevents me from viewing my health history. I appreciate what Eve does and its sex-positive attitude, but the constant nagging to upgrade has become a bit obnoxious.

I think I would be happy to keep supporting Eve if the ads to upgrade weren’t around every corner. Right now, I’m thinking of switching over to a cleaner, simpler app, which is a bummer because I’ve been tracking my cycle and logging my health since my junior year of college.

I’ve been using PeriodTracker for awhile now. It’s pretty accurate, easy to use, & informative. Plenty to look at if you want to get lost, & interacting (or lurking) with other women is nice. If that’s not your thing, there are anonymous quizzes & polls that are cool. You can also just track & log, and go about you day as well!

I’ve always liked how you can log your daily health! But they’ve changed them recently. I can’t see all my previous health logs at once anymore, you can only view each individual cycle’s logs. & finding the logs was nearly impossible (you have to click charts, & then the trends tab). Please put it back on the health log page & add a view option😭it was so much easier to find & see everything at once while scrolling before, rather than clicking each cycle’s logs. Or adding the health logs into the calendar view would be cool to see visually (I like to keep track of when I’m sexually active).

Also, it is kind of annoying how a lot requires an upgrade now. Other than that, it’s great!

I haven’t gotten my period yet, however I’ve been looking at different apps. This seems like a very high quality app. The only thing I wanted to point out is that PeriodTracker says its for 17+, however I’m sure many girls who have recently started their period could use this. I understand that there are questions concerning sex, however I believe that girls who have gotten their period have already had the talk about sex. It should not seem inappropriate or gross for a girl to see, and I doubt there would be an issue concerning it. There could be this explanation in the game description for caution. There’s also a large chance that girls using PeriodTracker would be masturbating, which is completely okay! I’m very happy that PeriodTracker includes that detail, and I don’t think young girls should be excluded because of it. Also, many girls under 17 have sex, so questions like those would be necessary for even girls under 17. I just thought I would point that out. Anyways, PeriodTracker seems wonderful. I’m not sure if this is in PeriodTracker , but I think reminders for using protection during sex and that infertile windows should not be used to determine when to have sex, as it is is still very possible to become pregnant even when not fertile, should be added(if not already included.)

I absolutely love PeriodTracker for keeping track of my periods! And being able to talk to all the ladies! However I wish there was an option just for those of us who are trying to conceive, because a lot of the cyclescopes and other parts are mainly directed more so at the women who are on either on birth control or not trying to conceive. Just for example, if it’s fertile week it’ll mention about taking precaution since you could get pregnant. It would just be nice for us women who are trying month after month, to have a little bit of encouragement around that time! and also maybe some information on whats going on with our bodies if we did actually conceive, but the pregnancy didn’t take. My dr told me that happens more often than we realize and will think its just a heavy period. Just like it does when it gives us all the helpful information on all of our moods and hormones and all of that during the cycle scope! That’s my only opinion to make it better. Other than that I cannot complain, I enjoy a community of women being able to just talk about all of our women issues and not have to be embarrassed or ashamed. I love Eve, I also have a couple other apps, but I can’t even use those ones like I can Eve, because they’re primarily for pregnancy. Which obviously after TTC for 5 years only keeps me looking and hoping. Anyways! Thanks Eve!

After recently getting off the horrible BC pill I needed a method to track my cycle that requires little effort from me because I’m very forgetful! PeriodTracker offers notifications daily if you set it up that way. It also allows you to make entries daily about how things are going in your life. I also suffer from migraines more often than the rest and PeriodTracker allows me to document that as well in case I need to go back to it in the future. Yes, there is a charge to get the full effect of PeriodTracker but anything worth having doesn’t come free... usually. :-)
The only thing I wish it had was a little more details on fitness. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want it to be a fitness tracker app (there’s enough of those out there) but if when I log exercise I wish it would prompt me to log for how many minutes I was on the treadmill, etc.

Otherwise, good app. Definitely download!

I’ve been using PeriodTracker for YEARS and will never switch!! I’ve recruited so many people to it over the years and they all equally love it!
I love how you can put in the type of sex you had and the experience you had during it!!🙌
Really helpful how you can add spotting, discharge, how heavy of flow, and so many other things, and it gives you pretty general feedback/ health insight!! Also love how you can add moods, exercise, and cravings to really track and see your trends across your cycle! I especially love all the community boards! Everyone is so welcoming and I’ve never felt like there was a question I couldn’t ask or that wouldn’t be answered!!
My only problem with it, and it may be because I have used PeriodTracker for so insanely long that my data in it might be too much, but PeriodTracker does crash on me a lot or freezes while loading after I try to put in a new log or health insight. It’s been something that I’ve just been working around and hasn’t bothered me too much but has been going on for awhile🤷‍♀️
Overall, the best period app you can have!!!

I got PeriodTracker to replace an old “period horoscope” app I had that I LOVED — it was simple and did exactly what I needed— I plugged in when I got my period & it kept me informed about general hormone info + predicted where I was in my cycle & my next period. AND THEN THEY STOPPED KEEPING UP WITH iOS UPDATES.

I looked far and wide, tried so many other period tracking apps— and they were all awful. Made something so simple overly complicated, hard to use... and then I tried Eve. It does exactly what I was looking for, even a little better than the original one I used. It has A LOT of other features, but the best part is that they don’t get in the way if you don’t want to use them. I was not at all interested in the community elements at first, but I can’t lie, I’ve found myself growing to love it. It’s such a supportive and interesting community of women. Sharing differing experiences, jokes, relating to eachother. It’s a little magical.

The notifications can be annoying, but eh it doesn’t bother me that much.

Pretty good at keeping track of my period. Sometimes it's a little off, but that's just my body. My period's can be so irregular, so it won't be right every time. I like being informed of what's going on with my body during different times throughout my cycle. I like all the quizzes and facts, etc. as well. It makes PeriodTracker fun. I like the community aspect of it, knowing that there are a lot of women out there who go through the same stuff I do, so I know I'm not going crazy, haha. The only thing I don't get, and I guess it goes back to the slight inaccuracy of PeriodTracker , when I have logged a period the last two times, about a day or two after my period ended and I would do my log, it would say what cycle day it was, and then would say my chance of pregnancy was 7% and would continue going up. Currently my supposed chance of pregnancy is at 33%. Not sure how that's possible considering my last period was not even two weeks ago, but oh well. That's the only weird thing about PeriodTracker . Other than that, it's great 😄

I like PeriodTracker because it does everything you could possibly want a period app to do. It allows you to track your period and keep a daily log of symptoms, exercise, sex life, and more. Then eve will suggest mini articles based on your log. Your homepage displays the important points in your cycle (days from fertile window start/end, days from period start/end) and eve will notify you a couple of days ahead of time. I've had PeriodTracker for about 3 years now and I can't remember it being more then a day or two off unless there was some other factor-- stress, for example...and I sometimes forget to log it and have to sort of make it up so I'd say she does a pretty good job! Eve also has a very comprehensive community forum where you can participate in conversations on various topics: sex, fitness, love, family, birth control, periods, plus tons of others. I've had at least 2-3 other period tracking apps in the past, but since getting this one I haven't felt the need to try anything else.

its really good and it was cool to get a free trial of glo premium, but omg the subscriptions are EXPENSIVEE. other than that i LOVEEE the health insights, the charts, knowing when my most fertile days so i can avoid sex or at the very least use protection. Its the cycle birth control method lol, or whatever its called. its also good if you ARE trying to get pregnant as it has sooooooo many tips and health tips, such as your most fertile days in your cycle, foods that increase your fettility, things you should avoid when trying to concieve, and so on(: I highly reccomend glo premium but only if you can afford it, your best bet is the yearly subscription as its a whopping $50 for a year, but thats $4 a day, compared to the weekly ones which i think were like 14 something? but anyways, if you have a period PeriodTracker is for you! I use another app too that i highly reccomend its called FLO, i love it tbh flo is more understandable for me, or easier to Comprehend for me. i'd try both if i were you, hope you love them both!!

Ever since I have downloaded PeriodTracker, our use it from the time I wake up till I go to bed at night. Eve is way more than just a period app. Yes , it does remind me of when I am supposed to start and when my fertile days are since we are trying to conceive, PeriodTracker also keeps track of my moods that I have throughout the month if I’m having acne or back pain or basically anything throughout the month and put it into a chart for me. Also PeriodTracker actually educate you about anything and everything that has to do with the female body and relationships and the opposite sex and most importantly about sex itself. PeriodTracker has been great to me and honestly I would never use another app to track my personal stuff other than eve. I love you EVE and thank you for always being there for me , and I love how there are so many conservations about pretty much everything and you know your never alone and always have someone to talk to or that’s going thru the same things and I really love that .

I never wrote a review on an app before, but I have so many great things to say about PeriodTracker. If you are a woman with a cycle, you need PeriodTracker! For so many reasons. It's wonderful at tracking your cycle and your future ones, but it does so much more! It tracks how you're feeling, symptoms, and you can log anything and everything about your period/ sexual activity and health. They also give you articles to read/ funny stories which is also nice😚 I think that it's amazing that there's a community also on PeriodTracker. It's been so helpful for me recently and has given me a lot of reassurance about things I may be worried about. The community is so supportive and non judgmental, and it truly is a safe space for me when I'm in a time of confusion and don't know what to do. Overall, so thankful I downloaded PeriodTracker. Will definitely continue using for many years to come. Thank you Eve! ❤️😌💖
