I’ve had this app for many years and they up and changed the entire thing with a seemingly innocuous update which wouldn’t be so bad had it not been for the unattractive new layout and frustrating interface with new features nobody asked for. I think most phones nowadays come with a pedometer I’m not going to use this one. I don’t think I lost any data in the update but the fact that they decided charge AGAIN for their “premium” features, all of which used to be included in the original paid app, is so pretentious and completely alienates those of us who have had this app for years. The new “subscription” not only costs 5x the original price for the baseline but it’s a monthly reoccurring fee, like women need something else to be charged for just for having a period every month. What did you people do sell your app to Facebook or Viacom?! Yeah I’m not paying JACK for this crap I would rather do it the “old fashioned way” and get a dang calendar and a pen! This was a really stupid move devs, you obliterated your original base just to jump on the “fee” bandwagon. If the new fees are because you can’t afford the data anymore then say so and give fair advanced warning instead of just hitting us with this out of nowhere. I hope women read these reviews first and don’t get swindled into actually buying a grossly overpriced subscription.

Ive had this app for ages, I even switched from a different period app to this one so I have data stemming from 2011! I loved that I could sync up from my laptop, to tablets, to phone and they even had themes! After about a year or 2 I went ahead and splurged for the “+” version for 4.99 and I liked the new themes, forum, could export all to my hearts content! Now exporting valuable data is a “premium” offer.... one I already fricken paid for!!!!!!!!! I usually back up my apps so I can switch back but didn’t realize this was apart of the update so didn’t bother. I will be trying that “premium trial” so I can export MY DATA and DELETE this app for one that cares for their content and patrons, looking through the App Store its clear that iPeriod isn’t top dog anymore its not even top 10 or 15. Will be downloading the current number 1 period app as this one has a total of 5k users across all versions!

tl:dr
Paid for premium app, now the app is ultra premium charging a monthly fee for what was paid for already. Avoid like the plague your period is a free monthly “gift” lmaooo, tracking should also be free, premium features need only a one-time (reasonable) fee!

Used this app for over a decade. Paid premium price. Then they came with this “upgrade” that introduced useless features while getting rid of what made this app special.. your ability to back up is gone, and is you want to export your data for safe keeping, well, now you have to pay a monthly fee, for what used to be included by purchasing the app. The reason given by the app developer? “It costs money to run a server”. Well, then why not use Dropbox or other cloud file service for Dara backup server so you don’t hav3 to maintain it?
Fortunately I had the backup of the old app, so I downgraded to the previous well-functioning version. I’ll keep using this older version until they cripple their backup server. Then I will just move onto a different app than spending mor3 for an app I already paid for.
Poor move and decision by the developers. If they want to move to a monthly subscription model with less useful features, they should have created a new app instead of forcing conversion to all those who paid good money before and was happy for what it was.
