iPeriod Lite Period Tracker Reviews

by Xanie

Recommend changing iPeriodLitePeriodTracker so that it has the same features as it does on the iPhone 6. Got a new phone and iPeriodLitePeriodTracker looks and operates different and is missing features.
1. Summary tab is missing. App on iPhone 6 contained date of your next period, average cycle, and average duration. It also had a cycle history chart the list start date, # of days on period, and cycle length for each month. On iPhone XR all of this is missing.
2. Simple home screen is gone. On previous phone, the home screen had next expected period, remaining days to that period and number of days in your current cycle. App on new phone has that info flashing in the middle of a circle that counts down the days. I don’t like waiting when before I could see all my info at a glance.
3. You can’t customize the background. On the old phone, iPeriodLitePeriodTracker enabled you to change the color/image in the background. iPeriodLitePeriodTracker on the XR looks hideous.
Bottom line: iPeriodLitePeriodTracker on the XR is not user-friendly, not user-focused, and not aesthetically pleasing.

I used iPeriodLitePeriodTracker b/c I could log my info without creating an account before. I wanted to provide as little personally identifiable info as possible. So rolling out updates in Oct. 2020 requiring users to create accounts/sign-in only w/ Apple ID withOUT advance warning was a terrible plan. So we couldn’t export our data before the updates. No thought to user experience about very important health data. They didn’t even think of keeping sign in w/ email and had to rush that in. There should have been a transition window to let existing users access iPeriodLitePeriodTracker and their personal health data 2-3 times w/o signing in so we can export our data one last time. There’s no explanation of where & to whom our data is being migrated to. They haven’t even updated their Terms of Service or Privacy Policy legal documents to reflect the mandatory sign in changes or mention Apple & what user information is being exchanged with Apple (if a user signs in with Apple ID). As I write this review, these legal documents haven’t been updated since Nov. 28, 2018. So I haven’t used iPeriodLitePeriodTracker since Sept. and lost access to my health info.

I've been using iPeriodLitePeriodTracker for years. It's followed me through my unsure teen years, and birth control changing my body in ways I didn't know it could, all the way into my adult years, and all the way had been a well used app, and normally fairly accurate. Now I've opened up iPeriodLitePeriodTracker only a few times since the new update....and my thoughts? Well it looks and feels just like all the other period tracker apps that I've dropped in the past. annoying useless stuff cluttering the screen, and a million options to jump through just to log my information. And on top of all of that, I've noticed that the last period I logged (which happened to be a few days early) has since been on my calendar and recorded in my cycle. BUT iPeriodLitePeriodTracker STILL SENDS ME A REMINDER EVERY NIGHT SAYING THAT I AM SO MANY DAYS LATE! WHEN IT SHOWS THAT I AM ACTUALLY 4 DAYS IN. even after my period had ended and I'm midway through my cycle, it still keeps notifying me that I'm late. All in all, these days I really only use iPeriodLitePeriodTracker as a sort of comfort blanket. I typically know when I'm starting and iPeriodLitePeriodTracker is just reassurance that I'm not off my game. So with so many in app disappointments, and after reading so many recent upsetting reviews, I think it's long time for me to say goodbye to my period buddy. Goodbye iperiod.

For some reasons iPeriodLitePeriodTracker keeps telling me I’m cycling every 5 days. I tried to give it some time to see if more data would help. No. Right now it is telling my my next period is last month. My NEXT period. It is extremely disconcerting when you open an app that is supposed to track your period and the first thing you see is that you’re late. The moods are great, the weight tracking is great, and I know how many times my man spent the night but the actual purpose of iPeriodLitePeriodTracker is entirely ineffectual. It won’t even let me mark that I’ve had my period two days in a row. The option is entirely greyed out on day two. No healthy woman has her period every 5 days. That shouldn’t even be a default. Better off using a regular calendar and guessing. Now I have to start completely over with a new app and wait at least another month for it to catch up. Extremely disappointed!!!

I believe that iPeriodLitePeriodTracker /designers should have warned the folks whom been loyal users for years that changes where about to occur and going into effect.
You now have to accept privacy information act before continuing with iPeriodLitePeriodTracker . I WILL NOT be going forward and accepting their terms. I have had many flaws (all minor) through the years (7 total) and this is the last straw. Plus I don’t like reading that people’s information has vanish, that means that mine is gone also. Pretty messed up considering how many women have issues regarding their cycle, are pregnant, or anything else they have used iPeriodLitePeriodTracker for, even if it’s to see how your moods fluctuate to have that gone is inexcusable. Myself personally I have had 3 periods in 36 days and now I don’t have my dates to show my doctor in a few weeks.

I have been with iPeriodLitePeriodTracker for more years than I can remember . I have lost my data with updates in the past but it was months so I kept iPeriodLitePeriodTracker because I liked it. This last update I lost over the last year. I tried using the restore function still nothing since Oct of 2019! I’m so frustrated I’m looking for a new app because if I have to start from scratch again I’m going to another app. Once upon a time I told everyone to use iPeriodLitePeriodTracker but with the consistent format changes it’s no longer dependable.
( yes I paid for iPeriodLitePeriodTracker several years ago but in one of the many “updates” I guess subscription changed and I was booted to a different level. )

I’ve used iPeriodLitePeriodTracker for several years. It had some nice features and I liked that it easily worked for me when I was pregnant too. However, I’m extremely disappointed with the fact that they now charge a subscription fee for features that I used free of charge for years. I understand upgrades and adding more options for your customer and I even understand why that would cost the customer $. I don’t understand though why you would not continue to offer the basics for free when they had been available for years without charge. I would have been able to overlook this annoying issue and just switch to a different app without complaint, but I’ve literally lost YEARS of data that I can no longer access because I’m not willing to pay a subscription fee. At the very least, I should be able to view my own data from PAST years without paying for that too. I dealt with infertility, miscarriages and several other health issues all well documented on iPeriodLitePeriodTracker and to not be able to access any of that information is incredibly frustrating. Sorry, but even if I were willing to pay for these features, I wouldn’t be doing it with iPeriodLitePeriodTracker anymore.

I've used iPeriodLitePeriodTracker for a long time. It's pretty easy to use and has a variety of features even for the free version. However, the longer I've had iPeriodLitePeriodTracker , the worse it has gotten because of the adds. It's gotten to the point that there is a pop up add as soon as I open the add and it's nearly impossible to navigate iPeriodLitePeriodTracker because of the adds. I'll go in to just start the tracking of a cycle and have to start over at least a dozen times because the adds pop up. Most adds are the video ones that last and you can't exit out until they are finished playing. And the adds are not helpful one either, mostly just for app games. I'm deleting iPeriodLitePeriodTracker and finding a different one.

I have had iPeriodLitePeriodTracker for years. Have loved it, but lately the ads have gotten silly by how many there are and now today iPeriodLitePeriodTracker isn’t working. Won’t even open. I tried turning my device off and back on and tried to delete app and re install it. Still not working. And it’s not my phone because all other apps are working. I can understand it not working maybe due to something going wrong but there is no customer support either. Maybe the customer service(an email and phone number or something) is in iPeriodLitePeriodTracker but seeing as I can’t open it here I am. So hopefully this review gets someone’s attention and they fix it.

iPeriodLitePeriodTracker is great for tracking and predicting my period. I'm not on BC and yet my period always arrives as predicted. This is great, because I can rely on iPeriodLitePeriodTracker when I'm planning vacations several months out as iPeriodLitePeriodTracker predicts the next 12 cycles.

I will say, however, that is is not good for predicting fertility. For the past 4 months, I have been using an OPK and this month I started also using a fertility monitor. Both tell me that I ovulate more than a week after the end of what iPeriodLitePeriodTracker predicts to be my "fertile days."

If you just want to track/predict periods, iPeriodLitePeriodTracker is perfect. When you're ready to try to conceive, get an OPK or a fertility monitor.

I've been using this for years. I have endometriosis so iPeriodLitePeriodTracker helped me document that. However I lost all of that the duration was changed for some of my cycles . My cycle was 14 days a month in the past after my surgery only 4 days as long as I stay on birth control. When I first started when I was 12 I had 7 day cycles. Basically iPeriodLitePeriodTracker was something I rely on. Well now I cannot change my cycle dates at all! My cycle is never the same every month it can easily change and now I cannot change it at all! It's saying my cycle is in a few days no it's ending in a few days! Can someone please fix or update iPeriodLitePeriodTracker ! I don't want to lose more progress and I love iPeriodLitePeriodTracker even tho so much has changed

I love iPeriodLitePeriodTracker! The graphics and color are wonderful. You can pick your own skin color for iPeriodLitePeriodTracker . I like the labeling and the accuracy. I just wish that I can transfer all my data to my new phone! I should be able to log onto any device with my email and get all of my history!!!!!! Therefore losing a star... I don't mind the ads because it's a free app. I love that I can keep track of my love connection and write notes. Also you can tailor notifications for fertile week and period week. I've looked through all the other period apps and the configuration is so weird. This is the best one! PLEASE KEEP THE HISTORY so I can continue to use this great app!

by Thundersaunt

I LOVED the original iPeriod. The updated isn’t as good as the original IMO. Now I think iPeriodLitePeriodTracker is trying to do too much. Also, if you use the free version and upgrade your phone, the info doesn’t transfer to the new phone. I did not know this Anna year of tracking for my doctor is lost and we have to start over with more tests and whatever. So, great for tracking and letting you know what’s up, opportunity to add notes and symptoms but if you need this for medical reasons, see if your information stays with you with the free version or upgrade to the paid.

I use iPeriodLitePeriodTracker just to have an idea of when Aunt Flo is going to visit. I suffer from some as-yet-undiagnosed condition that I try to plan trips and activities around weeks I don’t have to worry about it. As an individual who does advertising, I do get awfully tired of seeing ads in literally everything I use, including iPeriodLitePeriodTracker. The 15 or 30-second wait is absolutely unnecessary. I do appreciate the features that allow me to track specific moods and the flow of my period. I know if something changes drastically, it’s time to see the Dr.

I’ve been using iPeriodLitePeriodTracker for about ten years, maybe 11. iPeriodLitePeriodTracker has had its changes, but change happens, and sometimes you just gotta get used to it. I wouldn’t just delete iPeriodLitePeriodTracker and lose years of tracking and progress because the layout changed and now I have to relearn everything(I’m used to everything now, but I’ve gone through some reviews, and also recall the changes and being mildly frustrated). If I were to delete it, I would just be getting another app in its place, and honestly, it would probably be very similar. It’s easier and cheaper to have kind of cookie cutter layouts and stuff, although I don’t know much about building apps, compared to my past experiences in using HTML to change my MySpace profile theme.

Anyway, I depend on iPeriodLitePeriodTracker, I don’t have notifications set up, so I don’t have to worry about it being annoying. I track my cramps, moods, etc, whenever I feel there’s any noticeable differences. I think iPeriodLitePeriodTracker is great for what it is, and I’m super grateful to have it.
Based off my limited observations, iPeriodLitePeriodTracker might not have a ton of downloads compared to others, it has ads, but nothing that is timed and requiring you to watch to move on, click “close,” and go. I’m really grateful to have been able to rely on it, and thankful to the creators of iPeriodLitePeriodTracker for continuing to update it so I can continue to use it. I’d even say I’ve gotten a bit too dependent on it.

If you had issues from iPeriodLitePeriodTracker update, take the time to work with their customer service and they will help you recover your data. I emailed back and forth with them a few times and the “force data migration” option they suggested worked. All of my data 2012-present was recovered. If you want your data back, update to the latest version (8.0 or newer) and try that “force data migration” option. Thankful I was patient and didn’t throw away years of data by giving up on them too quickly! Great app and great customer service.

I have used iPeriodLitePeriodTracker probably since before kids and for about 11 years now. It has been an off and on battle to keep up as I feel it is important. Well, I recently updated and have to share that I now love iPeriodLitePeriodTracker and it’s update. Now, I can track my weight, sleep and more all in a much more functional way. The new app design is so much easier on the eye and even more fun to use than in the past. Ladies if you are not using something currently, I highly recommend checking out iPeriodLitePeriodTracker. It’s so important that we keep up with certain things if you know what I mean. Here you can do it all.

Love iPeriodLitePeriodTracker, it has saved me multiple times. I am able to plan ahead without hassle. No one likes getting their monthly unexpectedly, especially if you’re as irregular as I am. I’ve been using iPeriodLitePeriodTracker for a over 3 years and it has never failed me. It also has a fertility add-in too, so for all those couples looking to bring a bundle of joy into the world, iPeriodLitePeriodTracker can help. It also has the reverse effect too, because you’ll know your fertile days to avoid. Oh, did I mention you get all of this in the free app, if you don’t mind a quick 5 second advertisement in the beginning when opening iPeriodLitePeriodTracker . I don’t mind and like I said iPeriodLitePeriodTracker has not failed me.

I went into major freakout today. I had been using the free version for 8 years. I got so tired of the insane amount of ads so I purchased the IP+ version for $1.99. When I signed in to that version all 8 years of data was gone.

I went back to the iPeriod lite and found that the data there was gone too.

Eight years!

I sent an email explaining the situation and asked how do I get the data back. I thought I was screwed because it wasn’t apparent to me if and where my data was being backed up. I deleted iPeriodLitePeriodTracker and started researching other trackers, not expecting anyone to reply to my support message.

To my PLEASANT SURPRISE, support responded within one hour stating that they fixed the problem. And yes the problem was fixed. All my data was back. This was the first time I used support.

I give very detailed notes per cycle and incredibly happy that all those years are back in the palm of my hands.

Thank you iPeriod for wonderful customer service and a quick resolution.

P.S. The $1.99 for IP+ is worth it. No more incessant apps messing with a seamless experience.

I love knowing ahead of time when to expect my cycle and while iPeriodLitePeriodTracker it isn't 100% accurate, it is pretty darn close. I have noticed that using the "mark day by day" feature gives you even better predictions. (It's never off by more than 3 days).

iPeriodLitePeriodTracker is only as good as the data you put in, so try to be accurate. And of course we are humans & not robots so some months will vary slightly BUT the more info you put in, the more patterns become evident and iPeriodLitePeriodTracker picks up on those patterns.
Also, while using iPeriodLitePeriodTracker I'm now able to notice the slightest symptoms days before my cycle even starts so if iPeriodLitePeriodTracker is a little off, I'm always correct 24 hours before it starts. If you have normal-heavy flow, then I recommend using panty liners a few days before it says your cycle will start.

I have been using iPeriodLitePeriodTracker since 2012 - so for over 6 years and I loved it. It wasn’t until the update this past month that ruined everything for me. I lost ALL of my data and I am extremely upset. I use iPeriodLitePeriodTracker diligently to keep track of my cycle and now that I lost all my data, I cannot go back and access anything. I cannot seem to retrieve my account and my password is “wrong” every time I enter it and I never get an e-mail for forgot password. I am extremely disappointed and have been left with no other choice than to download another period tracker and begin logging my data all over again. If you fix this issue, please let me know because I would really like to continue using iPeriodLitePeriodTracker if I can get my data back.

I love iPeriodLitePeriodTracker so much and I have been using it for 9-10 years but this new update needs to make the summary of our old periods longer. We get this little bar at the end of the screen that only shows one entry at a time!!! I always like to look at my last few entries to see how long my cycle was but now it’s just really annoying to to see that small little bar. Other than that I really love the updates! But please PLEASE put the period summaries in their own little sections
