Being a woman is not an easy task. You have to go through a lot of problems and difficulties. Monthly period is one of them. The pain and anxiety during a period are unbearable but the pain of remembering period dates is now easier. With Period Tracker, it is easy not just to remember period dates but to know what mental situation you go through the period. Period Tracker is a free android and ios application developed to keep records of monthly periods and ovulation period of women. By personal use and taking suggestion with girls using the application, I can say this is a very useful application for every woman.

Key Features

• The most important and fantastic feature of Period Tracker is, it predicts the next period date on the basis of date logs provided by the user over past three months.
• It also shows the fertility dates and ovulation dates for women desiring of having children.
• It gives information about moods, cravings, and symptoms during and before periods.
• It also gives intimacy, health and mental care advice according to mood and body changes before and during a period.
• The icon of the application is designed to maintain the confidentiality of female menstrual cycle.

How to use?

It is as easy as playing games. You can find it free on Android as well as IOS app store. The first step is to download the app. Next, the user needs to tap on the button on the start of the period every month and it’s done. The tracker generates the next likely period date. It is important as most of the checkups, blood donation, and heavy workouts depends on period dates.

Drawbacks

The prediction of application is not always correct. It is based on the average calculation of period logs of past three months which may not be applicable to every woman as some may have an irregular period cycle. The other drawback is it cannot be used to prevent unwanted pregnancy as the period tracker is not an accurate application.
