Gone are the days where you marked a mysterious “X” on the calendar every month. Strictly for women only, this app helps you record when it’s that time of the month. All you do is tap on the start date of your period and it marks out your cycle in pink (choose a standard cycle or customise it). It will calculate your next expected period, ovulation and fertility dates. Set an alert so you will never be caught without a tampon or pad in your bag. For those with painful periods or unusual symptoms, you can record your moods, spotting, and cramp severity levels – which will come in handy, should you ever need to see a doctor about it.
This app helps you keep track of your pregnancy, along with your doctor. Once your due date is entered, the app will keep track of the gestational age of the baby, and countdown to the remaining days to delivery. Handy information about the baby’s growth each week and a name picker keeps your mind busy as your nesting tendencies grow.
