There's an App for That! - One for the Girls!

OK this one is for the girls. If you are a guy you should stop reading right now. You have been forewarned!

So Girls, do you know when the first day of your last period was? What about the due date of your next period? If you had to stop and think then this app is for you (and even if you didn't have to stop and think this app could still be useful!)

iPeriod Free is a menstrual/period calendar by WinkPass Creations. It is super easy to use and is great at tracking data. Why do we need to track our cycle? It could be for any number of reasons, from trying to avoid pregnancy or trying to get pregnant. Maybe you just don't want to be caught unaware by that time of the month. Also keeping a good record of cycles can help identify health issues, and keep track of when you are due for checkups.

Enough about why let's get down to what this app can do! So this is the description from the App Store:

iPeriod's beautiful VISUAL CALENDAR makes it easy for you to view your menstrual cycles at a glance... complete with emoticons, unique icons symbolizing your symptoms, expected periods, fertile days, ovulation and more!

FEATURES

• DISCREET icon name "iP"
• PREDICTS your future 12 periods
• Predicts ovulation and fertility
• ALERTS you when your period is expected or late!
• Tracks SYMPTOMS and moods
• 4 CUSTOMIZABLE symptoms
• FREEFORM NOTES
• BACKUP your data to upgrade to iPeriod Ultimate
• Calendar view with ICONS representing your notes
• Password PROTECTION
• Self breast exam reminders
• PREGNANCY mode!
• REMEMBERS your last period dates so that you don't have to!
• HELP Screen (“i” button on Settings Screen)
• Customizable with various skins and calendar styles

Enter your period for at least two consecutive cycles, and iPeriod calculates your average duration, cycle length and estimates the dates of your next expected periods, fertile days and ovulation! Each time new data is entered, statistics are updated.

I have been using iPeriod for over 18 months now and love it. It makes it so easy to track my cycle and know when I'm due. I used iPeriod Free for about 2 months before upgrading to iPeriod Ultimate (only AU$2.49) the free version does the job but there are extra features available in the Ultimate version which I have found useful. iPeriod® Ultimate has more Skins, 80+ symptoms & moods, Backup/Restore, Email Export, Email Alerts, No Ads, Weight-tracking and Graphs!
