Spot On Period Tracker Reviews

by NutterD

Updated review: been months and still terrible. Honestly, SpotOnPeriodTracker is so bad I can’t believe whoever designed this thought it better. It’s HORRIBLE. Hard to use, can’t compare data in any way. It’s so dumb. Why you haven’t changed it back yet is beyond me. This is 50 steps in the wrong direction. I don’t even use it anymore it’s so clunky and buggy and counterintuitive. Every so often I check back to see if it’s been fixed. Not even close. Fire whomever was in charge of overhauling a great app into a total piece of garbage, they CLEARLY do not know what they’re doing.

Original review of NEW app: Hate to leave a bad review for PP, but SpotOnPeriodTracker update is the worst. Been using this tracker for a few years and LOVED it. Specifically, it was really handy to view patterns on the calendar view (like how many days did I have cramps, how many days in a row exercise, etc), but now all that is gone. What is even the point of the emojis/tracking anything other than if you’re bleeding if you can’t read/compare the data in SpotOnPeriodTracker ? Also I’ve noticed the period predictor is not as good. Off by days. I’m back to using Clue now too in addition to this, just because Clue is more accurate. I love Planned Parenthood and will support them always, but whoever thought this redesigned app was better isn’t great at their job.

Longtime user since the very first days of SpotOnPeriodTracker . Loved it previously, faithfully updated data and tracking, but now this new update is HORRENDOUS. First, you warned us late last year about the impending update—and then don’t update until three months later? Why?

And now I can’t customize anything. I can’t edit anything. I can’t correct the date of my birth control method (why would it ask me and not allow me to select the date? It used to do this!), so now it’s off. I can’t customize the displays on my calendar, so all I see are emojis with no legend whatsoever (what do they mean??). There’s a list of changes but no tutorial, and it’s not very helpful. If I try to edit birth control and period info in Settings it gives me a very dramatic “once you do this you cannot I do, are you sure?” message, so I’m afraid to click yes and of making things worse. So, so, very frustrated with this right now. It makes me want to delete it and forgo using it completely.

Planned Parenthood, I love you, but you completely ruined an app that wasn’t in need of changes. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. You’ve broken your app and it’s incredibly frustrating to try and use now. Please go back to the way it was. Please give us customizable displays and landing pages. Please let us edit data entries. Please don’t make this overly complicated. I don’t need videos or a chat feature. It’s a period tracker, not social media. Please fix this.

I used to LOVE SpotOnPeriodTracker. I had been using it since 2017 to keep track of my birth control and periods. Before I started using SpotOnPeriodTracker, I had difficulty remembering when it was time to change my ring. The notification feature really helped with this.

However, recently SpotOnPeriodTracker has stopped sending me notifications. I don’t know why this is. I didn’t change anything in SpotOnPeriodTracker settings or in my phone’s notification settings. I have tried troubleshooting the problem in multiple ways: restarting my cell phone, disabling and reenabling notifications for SpotOnPeriodTracker , changing what time I am supposed to receive reminders. I’ve even tried deleting and reinstalling SpotOnPeriodTracker . Nothing has worked.

Before this issue, I loved SpotOnPeriodTracker. I had used it since 2017! I would have previously given it 5 stars. The overhaul made SpotOnPeriodTracker more awkward to use. However, it still functioned. Then in October, I stopped receiving notifications. The notification feature for periods and changing my ring is the reason I chose to use SpotOnPeriodTracker. For me, it’s now practically useless. In November I was late changing my ring, because SpotOnPeriodTracker failed to give me a notification. I’m grateful I’m on birth control for controlling painful periods, and not for pregnancy prevention. I would have been at risk for an accidental pregnancy. Please get notifications working again!!!!

The new update on this is terrible. It used to be so easy to input data and view it, now it’s cumbersome. Worst of all, it never used to count spotting as your actual period (it shouldn’t!) but now it does. As soon as you say “spotting” it says “period started.” That is very frustrating for those of us who spot a lot but want to keep track of it completely separate from our period. I only gave it two stars instead of one because I hold out hope that one of these updates will fix this crap :(. I don’t want to lose 2 years of data because SpotOnPeriodTracker did a 180 in the wrong direction!

Update: My app crashed the other day, and I had to delete it and re install. No big deal, the info was backed up to my account-or so I thought. Turns out in September of last year my app crashed and logged me out without me knowing it. It didn’t tell me I had been logging since then “anonymously” so a year’s worth of data is completely gone. Customer service was as helpful as they could be…but SpotOnPeriodTracker is so trashed now, they can only do so much. SpotOnPeriodTracker has so many bugs, crashes all the time, and every update seems to only make it worse. Seriously the only reason I put up with the inconveniences before this was because I had so much data saved. Since that’s gone, I’ll be moving on to a different app. Disappointing.

by ButterflyKisses411

Update: I loved SpotOnPeriodTracker until the recent update, now it won’t open and I cannot access my stored information. If I delete SpotOnPeriodTracker to try to download again, I will lose all of my current information; what is the point in continuing to have an app on my phone that will not open?! I’m not pleased. If I had paid for SpotOnPeriodTracker, I would be demanding a refund; immediately. I have given it over a week since the update, to right itself; I still cannot open it or access my stored information. I’m dropping my rating from 4 stars to 1; only because I cannot take away all of the stars.

Previous review: The only thing I have seen so far that I would love to add, is a notebook page that allows you to make some daily notes for those who would like to. Being able to make a personal note including information like how long the cramps were so bad I can’t walk, or how bad my headache that day was; would be really beneficial, to track my symptom cycles fully.
I noticed that the section where you can add in your current birth control methods, doesn't have an option for a tubal ligation which I had done but I still need to track my cycles; mostly for symptoms, but knowing exactly when to expect my period/ovulation is still important.
Thank you so much for SpotOnPeriodTracker , it really helps!!

I've been trying to find a good period tracker for ages...I used Glow for a bit but I hated the strictly heteronormative community that it continuously tried to force me into. Aesthetically I didn't mind it but the dinosaurs on Spot On totally won me over.

(Edit February 5th, 2020) I’ve been using SpotOnPeriodTracker for several years and never had any problems with it. However with the newest redesign I’m unable to remove the “fertile days” from my calendar, which makes me extremely uncomfortable. I’m not sexually active and even when I am, I’m not looking to get pregnant. Having to see these fertile day reminders without having the choice to remove them is highly disappointing. I can see why some people find it useful to know but for me, it’s dysphoric and keeps me from logging into SpotOnPeriodTracker . I may have to find a new tracker if this feature isn’t made optional.

(May 26th) Haven’t been able to open SpotOnPeriodTracker since Feb 5th, though if it’s possible to open then perhaps I’m simply not patient enough to repeatedly try to keep my phone from going back to sleep before I can log in. I’m sad to see Spot On leave my routine.

by Isabel_Emmons

I used to love love Love SpotOnPeriodTracker. It was easy and clear to use - there were no glitches in my updating my birth control or period cycles. But since the newest update / redesign a couple days ago, I think SpotOnPeriodTracker has gone way downhill for me. I made an account, closed SpotOnPeriodTracker , and my account was gone. I tried to sign back in and it wouldn’t let me. Tried to make a new account with a different email, same thing happened. I tried to choose “track my period and birth control” and it doesn’t. My favorite part of SpotOnPeriodTracker was that I got to confidently click I took my birth control and SpotOnPeriodTracker would remember - now there is no mechanism for me to do so (or if there is, if doesn’t appear to me at all!) and it won’t remember what I tell SpotOnPeriodTracker if I close my phone or go to another app.
Spot On is no longer helpful to me if I can’t track my bc with ease. It’s now more stressful than just remembering by myself. I don’t need these updates and a new calendar - I need confirmation and fewer crashes on my phone. I can’t use SpotOnPeriodTracker most times I open it. I can’t change the emojis. I can’t change or take back a decision if I accidentally say I’m on my period. Can you help me at all? This used to bring me so much joy and comfort.
Thank you

I’ve been using SpotOnPeriodTracker since 2017 and until just recently, it was my go-to app for tracking not only my birth control, but just about everything that had to do with my reproductive health. I use the ring, and when I downloaded it, it was the only app that included this method. Needless to say, I was ecstatic.

Unfortunately, however, it no longer works at all. None of my information is saved. I somehow still get reminders about when it’s time to take my ring out, and occasionally it’ll remind me to put a new one in, but SpotOnPeriodTracker itself is a nightmare now. When I hit the button to say I’ve taken my ring out or I’ve put it in, it doesn’t save, and so every month it tells me I’m “not protected” as though I’ve missed it completely. It even tells me I don’t *have* a birth control method. It no longer tracks my periods regardless of how many times I edit them in. It doesn’t do ANYTHING. It won’t even save my account information. I’ve deleted and redownloaded SpotOnPeriodTracker several times and nothing seems to fix it.

I’ve had to download another app as a backup so that I can keep track of my ring cycle and ensure I get reminders to take them out/put them in. I’m so disappointed in SpotOnPeriodTracker now. It had so many options before the big update last year, and now it’s pretty much useless.

by CureWindy

I prefer SpotOnPeriodTracker over any of the other period tracker apps that I’ve tried for a variety of reasons — the availability of Planned Parenthood’s resources and the fact that it uses gender-neutral language throughout being central among them. But there are a few features that SpotOnPeriodTracker is sorely missing, and I agree with the other reviews that the old look was nicer and much easier to use.

I missed tracking a month right after the update happened because a bug made it impossible to log any information; the bug has been fixed, but for months afterward SpotOnPeriodTracker failed to accurately predict my period and there was no way to fix the problem except for manually adding in the missed period using guesswork; I opted to delete and reinstall SpotOnPeriodTracker without migrating my old data over instead to start from scratch. I also wish that there was an option to change the time that SpotOnPeriodTracker rolls over from one day to the next. I work evenings and am naturally a night owl, so I usually don’t settle in to record the day’s information until after midnight, when the date has already changed. It’s a mild inconvenience, but it can confuse SpotOnPeriodTracker into thinking that my period has already ended and makes using SpotOnPeriodTracker just a little bit more frustrating. I’ve used other apps that have the option to adjust the time that the date rolls over to fit your schedule and would like it if that was implemented here.

SpotOnPeriodTracker is a generally fine period tracker in that I can examine the personal information on the calendar and see trends. However, I’d like to echo the other commenters who note the necessity for a comment section so this information and its causes can be more accurately assessed. Unfortunately, I have two other problems as well. Firstly, I have a problem with my not taking birth control being equated with me taking “unknown” birth control. I cringe whenever I see that in my statistics and profile because “unknown” does not represent me. Second, SpotOnPeriodTracker does little to account for women of different ages and with medical conditions. Information about ovulation and exact periods is unlikely to be of use for an older woman going through perimenopause or an adolescent whose cycle is not yet regular and who may be experiencing more emotional highs and lows around the time they menstruate. Clearly SpotOnPeriodTracker cannot give everyone feedback on their personal menstrual health, but I would feel more comfortable being able to input my health concerns (I lost an ovary a couple years ago and have struggled with mood swings and hot flashes uncharacteristic of my age) and having more resources to browse in the resources tab concerning such topics.

Tbh this was the first app I ever downloaded to track my period and I loved it. It was easy to use and it looked nice and the reminders are nice since I’m pretty forgetful but the update totally ruined it. When it first updated it completely logged me out and it wouldn’t let me back in and then when randomly let me back after while so I thought it was that minor issue. But now it takes soooo long to load that most of the time I didn’t even bother waiting or opening it. Because of that I stopped using it for a couple months and also partly because it straight up stopped giving me reminders. I just got a new phone and redownloaded it to see if it was finally fixed and it actually told me that it’s gonna get my data from my old phone so I had hope that it was but then it still took forever to load into SpotOnPeriodTracker . When it did finally load it didn’t even log into my account and it’s still not letting me. The only options it gives is “create an account” or “continue without account”. I’m probably just gonna delete it which is a shame because i really loved SpotOnPeriodTracker.

Previously I would have given SpotOnPeriodTracker 5 stars, but I really hate the new update. I loved the look before - how you track symptoms in the bubbles, the monthly calendar look and the days at the top when you’re putting in daily symptoms. When the update first came out I couldn’t log into my account on SpotOnPeriodTracker . Then one day I opened it and I was miraculously logged back in and my few years of progress were there. But I hated the new look of the update, I found it very confusing to use, not user friendly, I wasn’t sure if the symptoms I was putting in were getting tracked and it took me a really long time to figure out how to see a monthly view.
The only thing I did like about the update was that you could edit and put in your own symptoms and put them into categories which I don’t think you could do before.
I stopped using it for about a month because I really just didn’t like it. Now I wanted to give it a second try and when I open SpotOnPeriodTracker I’m no longer logged in, nor can I log in. I’ve tried deleting and re-downloading SpotOnPeriodTracker , creating a new account, but I just keep getting the logo loading screen.
I would be sooo very happy if SpotOnPeriodTracker just reverted back to the old version because I would LOVE to keep supporting PP and using SpotOnPeriodTracker, but I can’t use it in its current state.

I’ve had it for 8 months now. However because my bc pill has never been added, my calendar will always be off. Knowing that there are tons of different types of BC and you may never actually get them all in there, it would be nice to be able to edit the pill slider. Because even though I am able to make a personal account for my pill, it still won’t take exactly how many pills are in there in calculation. So I end up having this problem where it thinks I’m on pill 12 but I’m actually at the end of my pack.

It’s good for just keeping the calendar of your period and such but if you are like me who likes everything sewed up and organized, this might shake you a bit because of some of the inaccuracies that will start to happen. And then instead of just editing what pill you are on, it makes you wipe all of your data and you have to re-enter it. It’s such a pain.

Other than that though, the calendar has come in handy for someone like me who never gets her period and has to scroll through months for the doctor to get to her last day.

I began to use SpotOnPeriodTracker on the day I visited Planned Parenthood to start my first birth control method (pills).

SpotOnPeriodTracker literally keeps me on track by reminding me to take my pill everyday, the same time, and it keeps record of all the days you pressed “yes” if you took the pill for the day so that if you feel unsure, forgot, or must take two pills if you missed, you can check and proceed to take action to get back on track. They also have a feature where you can add any symptoms, feelings, or when you stated your period as of well as the flow to look back on to see any changes or differences.

I gave SpotOnPeriodTracker four stars because as a suggestion, SpotOnPeriodTracker can improve if it can have an option where people can make an account or not. My phone suddenly stopped working and the four month progress I had put time to keep track of my moods, my side effects, and my period is now gone. I can’t look back on those four months to compare it to a new pill I was switched to. I would really hate to lose all of the progress I have made in SpotOnPeriodTracker to keep track of everything again. Thank you!

I love Spot On! As a former Planned Parenthood employee, I was constantly advocating for SpotOnPeriodTracker whenever I started a patient on birth control or if they had already been on bc and just needed a tracker. SpotOnPeriodTracker is pretty solid and simple to use, but it really, REALLY needs the functionality of adding notes on each day. For example, a user might need to log that they took their pill but they took it late, or they had spotting but it was heavier than normal. Right now we only have the options of taking the pill or not and spotting or a full-on period. Being able to take notes would make it easier to talk to providers and tweak our bc if needed, or explore why we’re having certain symptoms. Also, it would be nice to have an alert or reminder that tells you what to do if you miss multiple pills, or at least gives different options, i.e. toss them and take today’s pill (to keep the schedule on track), or take them and extend your cycle by x number of days (so if you missed 3 pills, it would add 3 days to the cycle). I don’t know the exact logistics of that, but it would be helpful.

I’ve been using SpotOnPeriodTracker since 2017 and when it was recently updated all of my data disappeared without me even doing anything. I have tried a countless amount of times now since the update to find where the login option is and I’ve come to the conclusion that they either forgot to add a login section because I’ve looked everywhere or it’s on purpose which would be ridiculous if that’s the case. I’ve even tried creating a new account and it won’t allow me to because I’ve already used my one and only email for the account I lost in the update. I’ve also emailed them asking for advice and heard absolutely nothing back. I love SpotOnPeriodTracker, I wouldn’t have used it for almost four years if I didn’t. The update is definitely different but I do like it. I just wish I had all of my data back and a way to log into my account. I see they’ve posted that they’re working on fixing it, but that was a month ago and still no update.

by Marshalade

i am keeping this at 4 stars because i loved the old version of SpotOnPeriodTracker so much. i am trans non binary and this was the only period tracking app that didn’t force gender all over the place. it was easy to use, very customizable, and super helpful with keeping track of my severe and difficult periods. however this new update feels clunky, is harder to navigate and use, and undid several of my saved settings. it also took MANY tries to get it to log in and when i gave up and tried to make a new account it wouldn’t let me, booted me out, and somehow signed me into my original account after all. i miss the emoji bubbles being so easy to get to and seeing options all at once! all this clicking through is confusing. the new look of the calendar is fine, but i would’ve liked the ovulation tracking to be something i chose, not something that got plunked in there. it is helpful to know what is going on, but being trans that kind of stuff makes me really dysphoric. i hope the bugs get worked out of this update! i’m sure a lot of time and effort has gone into and i would love to be able to continue using SpotOnPeriodTracker.

I’ve been using SpotOnPeriodTracker for I don’t even know how long. I’ve never had a “normal” cycle or period, ever since my very first one almost hospitalized me. I’ve never been very good at guessing when my period would come because it was so irregular. I downloaded SpotOnPeriodTracker to track my period and then I started using all of its awesome features. I started using SpotOnPeriodTracker before I was sexually active simply for the help it offered.
I tried many kinds of period control and almost nothing wanted to work for me but SpotOnPeriodTracker helped me keep track of everything I tried and the different ways it affected me. I recently got an IUD put in after much hesitation (the first time I tried the IUD it fell out on its own after a week and a half.) So far its been excellent in helping me track my periods, fertile days and moods. Now that I am sexually active it is so helpful also with keeping track of when I’ve had sex!
I love all the the features it offers and the helpful information. They are always adding new features and other important improvements to SpotOnPeriodTracker .
I recommend SpotOnPeriodTracker to every person with a uterus!

i am on the ring, and i have been using SpotOnPeriodTracker for almost a year. it used to be perfect for tracking my cycle and my birth control, but this new update has thrown everything off. i was set on a 3-week schedule with my ring, and all of a sudden when i tried to log that i had removed my ring at the designated time, it said i needed to put it back in even though my period had started... turns out, it switched me to a 4-week schedule without telling me, and then on saturday it told me it was time to replace my ring, even though 1.) it told me not to take out the original one and i am supposed to go a week ring-free 2.) my new ring cycle is supposed to begin on SUNDAY. for anyone who knows how nuva rings work, this seemingly minor mistake can be detrimental.

but the absolute worst part was that when i opened SpotOnPeriodTracker this morning, all my data was GONE. i have lost MONTHS of data and tracking and i have no idea what to do because this used to be the best app by FAR for people on the ring... so thanks a lot.

by Victoriakreisberg

UPDATE: I’m so happy my data came back! I was also able to successfully make an account. I definitely still favor the old layout more but the most important things are fixed. I find SpotOnPeriodTracker incredibly useful when it’s working properly so I’m happy I can continue using it. They also responded to my emails and showed great customer service.

I’d used SpotOnPeriodTracker for probably the past 2-3 years or so almost daily until the update earlier this month where it deleted all of my saved data. I can’t remember when I got my IUD anymore and years of information I tracked is gone. I’ve sent two emails requesting help with no response back. I liked the old layouts simplicity and ease of it and the cute messages/facts it would show after you submitted daily. It was aesthetically pleasing and easy to use and this new one is the opposite. I tried to give this new update a shot and start from scratch, and it wouldn’t let me make an account/kept giving me error messages. So I’ve tried to ‘continue without account’ and there’s no way to actually input the information. It’s just odd, completely ruined a great app. Such a shame, I hope they fix it soon or better yet just restore it to the old one

by Ty Kogan ✌

I’ve been using SpotOnPeriodTracker for over a year and I absolutely loved it. It helped me track periods, birth control, and moods, and it helped me take a look at myself at the end of every day and summarize what went on and how I was feeling in a way that was very helpful. But this new update ruined it all. It won’t let me track my birth control and keeps saying every time I input it that I’m starting a new pack. It only thinks I’m on my period and that I’m “unprotected” and won’t save any of my information! I’ve clicked a hundred times on the button to say, yes, I took my pill, and even if it’s week 3, day 3 SpotOnPeriodTracker tells me to start my new pack because I’m unprotected. I know you guys had good intentions with this update but there are serious bugs and problems that need to be fixed as soon as possible because SpotOnPeriodTracker just straight up does not work on my phone any longer. If it’s because it’s in the early stages then I understand, but the fact is that it affects people in real time and I don’t care to wait around for you to fix it. I’m lucky that I didn’t solely rely on SpotOnPeriodTracker and have an alarm to remind me when to take my pill because I’m a busy person and would have forgotten. But the features of SpotOnPeriodTracker I remember will be sorely missed.

by HaleySoups

I’ve been using SpotOnPeriodTracker to track my birth control ring for the last five months or so. It is great to be able to log my physical stats every day so that I can figure out when I am likely to experience what on any given month. I also like that you can add your own symptoms to track, and personalize the tracking system to suit you.

The problem with SpotOnPeriodTracker is that, at least for the ring, it only works if you do everything right. There is no ability to tell it that you took the ring out for a bit, or that it fell out, so it has no way to know that it needs to give you advice or warn you that you might not be protected. It would be amazing to have a “Ring’s Out” button that would start a two hour timer or something so that if I want to take it out to have sex or go for a run or anything like that, then it will tell me when I need to get the ring back in. SpotOnPeriodTracker also needs to recognize that sometimes women will go four weeks with the same ring and then do a ring free week specifically to move their period, not skip it. Right now, if you leave the ring in for four weeks, it assumes that you need to start a new ring at the end of week 4, and there’s no option for still having a ring-free week.

Please update SpotOnPeriodTracker with features to make it helpful even when everything doesn’t happen completely “by the book”.

by Jennaclark09

I love that SpotOnPeriodTracker keeps track of your bc and reminds you when to take the pill each day. However, besides helping me keep track of if I took it or not and when my period is it doesn’t really differentiate from any other typical calendar.

I wish there was a feature that provided more advice and prediction if I skipped a pill. Say I skipped one day by accident and doubled up on the pill the following day. I wish there was a way to track that, because for now it’s just “did you or did you not take it?” By tracking what days I had to double up it would help track if I’m more susceptible to getting pregnant since doubling up can effect this.

Sometimes I forget what days I had to double up on a pill so an additional feature where I can select “forgot pill” instead of “did not take” and then the next day giving the option of “took two pills” and then following it up with a warning on protection and being less protected so I don’t have to google it every time

by Megan6211

I think SpotOnPeriodTracker is a wonderful new alternative compared to other period apps available. It is really nice how SpotOnPeriodTracker can be specific to the type of birth control you are taking such as ring, IUD, patch, shot instead of only having the pill option. SpotOnPeriodTracker is great at providing you with information on your type of birth control as well as other important facts. It is also nice to be able to get reminders for your birth control right from SpotOnPeriodTracker .

However, I think SpotOnPeriodTracker would seriously benefit from adding a comments option for the calendar. That way the user can add more detail to help them be able to give their doctor as much information as possible if needed. Such as if your period started at around 10pm and you want to be able to specify bleeding started late night instead of it appearing like it was all day. It would also be very helpful if the dates when you put in or took out your ring were customizable instead of set based on when you put it in once. Some people wait an extra week sometimes to take it out and get their period, but with SpotOnPeriodTracker you can't really adjust that.
Also, for some reason my ovulation dates are not appearing in my calendar. I see that it is a feature from the featured pictures in SpotOnPeriodTracker description, but I cannot figure out how to get my ovulation dates to appear.

Overall, it is a wonderful app and I'm sure it'll only get better!

Other than that though, the calendar has come in handy for someone like me who never gets her period and has to scroll through months for the doctor to get to her last day.

SpotOnPeriodTracker is all around pretty amazing. The in-app integration of being able to talk to a health care educator is so convenient. I love absolutely everything about SpotOnPeriodTracker except for the fact that there’s no option to put you accidentally doubled up on your pill one day. Normally if you forget to take a pill, you put it into SpotOnPeriodTracker , and they tell you what to do, but if you accidentally double up, SpotOnPeriodTracker can’t help you, and you can’t log it, so you must reach out to one of their educators. If SpotOnPeriodTracker was to include this feature, I’d give it a 5 stars.

Now that we’ve got the negatives out of the way, let’s go over what’s great about SpotOnPeriodTracker. 1) SpotOnPeriodTracker allows you to require FaceID to open it, so someone being nosy can’t open your app with sensitive information. 2) They allow you to insert your individual birth control method, so SpotOnPeriodTracker is tailor fit to you. ( I’d suggest adding the option to add multiple methods being used at once, but SpotOnPeriodTracker still works great without it. ) 3) If you chose to use more than one app to track your periods and birth control, you can export the data out of SpotOnPeriodTracker easily. 4) They have a very compact and helpful FAQ integrated into SpotOnPeriodTracker . 5) SpotOnPeriodTracker is FREE, and there’s no free trial / pay to use features.

It has settings where you can get reminders on when you’re supposed to get your period, when to take your birth control, when you’re next appointment is, and when certain symptoms should happen. Plus if you have any questions over your method of birth control, there is an FAQ, which is very helpful. Another plus is that you can track your mood, body feelings, actions, and your period. You can ever pick the emojis for each symptom, action, or mood. SpotOnPeriodTracker is very helpful with keeping up with both control, tracking your period and period symptoms, remembering your appointment dates, and can easily help birth control beginners get into the habit of taking it. You can even insert when you’re sexually active and it can tell you when you’re fertile and if you need to use a backup protection and why you should(such as a condom). It is a very well thought out and modern app that is very very useful and is even free?! Definitely recommend to download.

SpotOnPeriodTracker has really helped me, not only in tracking my period, but also in making sure that I’m monitoring other aspects of my life.

There is a “Mood” section, which allows you to track your mood over the duration of different cycles, and you can customize it with whatever moods you want to add, in addition to the default moods.

There is a “Body” section, which allows you to track symptoms, both in general, as well as period related symptoms.

There is an “Action” section, which I have found to be especially helpful. It allows you to track your eating, exercise, and self-care habits, and is, again, customizable. I have found that this helps me to stay on track with taking care of myself, and SpotOnPeriodTracker is very user friendly, so it’s not something I really have to push myself to remember to do.

The period tracking portion helps with knowing how heavy your cycle is on a daily basis.

SpotOnPeriodTracker also allows you to input your birth control method, which I’ve never had from a period tracker app before! It’s been really helpful in reminding me to take my pill, and in terms of helping me to know when my next cycle will be in relation to my other plans.

I hadn’t used a period tracking app since starting birth control but SpotOnPeriodTracker got be back into tracking it, and I’ve found it to be incredibly useful and user friendly. Definitely worth downloading!

I use SpotOnPeriodTracker to track my period. After an unexpected visit from Aunt Flo at a parent teacher conference (I am a student of middle school), due to forgetting to mark the calendar, I decided I need to find an easier way to keep track.
I looked through many other apps, and this one I found the best for me. This is a very minimalist-ish design, keeping it simple and easy to understand. SpotOnPeriodTracker has the resources and some research pages for you to learn more about what you are going through, and daily reviews about how heavy your flow was, what your moods were, and even more. I find that this does not ask for any unnecessary information that alarms me, and it goes forward to track your next period estimation instead of you having to do it manually.
I hope this review helps you, and I am terribly sorry for not having any more information to review on, but you can see that I am not trying to get pregnant or am having sex in middle school, so that’s good. 😅🙃😅

SpotOnPeriodTracker is amazing! I never ever forget to take my birth control pills EVER, because SpotOnPeriodTracker reminds me everyday at the same time that I chose. I love that it tracks my period, so I’m always aware of when I’m going to start so I can keep a tampon with me. I love the fact that everyday I can put in how my body is feeling and if I slept well and what moods I’m in for the day, so that if something ever happens, I can go back and see what my symptoms were. I also love that your information can be kept PRIVATE if you want to. You can put a password, so that when you click SpotOnPeriodTracker , you won’t be able to access it unless you use your fingerprint and/or your password. Love that option. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SpotOnPeriodTracker! You won’t regret it! It also lets you know if you missed a pill at all and it gives you all the information you need on SpotOnPeriodTracker if you have ANY questions! NO customer service needed!

For the moment I only use SpotOnPeriodTracker to track my period and for information. I’m currently 17 years old and have learned what I need to know about safe sex from Planned Parenthood. It’s a blessing that there are quick answers in SpotOnPeriodTracker as well as helpful tips and reminders that teach me more about my body and future sexual health. Things as simple as spotting, which I had never heard of before, or that a cycle has fertile days were new bits of information that SpotOnPeriodTracker was able to kindly teach me to the point where girl friends of mine are asking me questions about their sexual health because I’ve been paying attention to Planned Parenthood and SpotOn. So thank you!

The only thing I’m somewhat upset about is that the number that SpotOnPeriodTracker links us too for questions doesn’t seem to work, so it’s incredibly hard to ask specific questions. But overall it is an amazing app.

I live in Texas, so the amount of information I get about my cycle is limited to “DIRTY DEMONS COMING OUT OF YOUR NETHER REGIONS!” And since I hit puberty early, it was worse for me. Spot On provides plenty of educational information about my cycle. After consistent use it’s even tracking when I’m about to start my period — something I’d given up hope on because I always thought my cycle was unpredictable. It also keeps track of my moods and physical symptoms, which helps me on more levels than just one. I’ve got bipolar disorder, so when I’m looking at all the information collected together I can see whether my depression is a mood swing or a symptom of PMS, which helps me care for myself accordingly. I love SpotOnPeriodTracker and I update information several times a day, even if to just to record my moods to help me stay on top of my bipolar disorder.
