Apps Reviews

Menstrual Calendar Free is a very, very pink app.  Aside from the color scheme of the user interface and tiny icons, it's really useful if you're trying to conceive.  My fave feature is the list symptoms including things like "breast tenderness, nausea, joint pain" etc and the pull-down menu of adjectives to describe cervical mucus output since it saves me the trouble of thinking up descriptors to fill in a generic notes field (which this app also provides).  This app also offers password protection, which is a handy feature, and the ability to add customer labels for your meds.  This is the best fertility tracker...if you can get past the pink interface.

Magic Days is fruity and useless.  It has a big bobbing baby head splash screen as if it were pretending to load functionality...but sadly, there isn't much functionality to it.  I installed it, opened it up, looked around and promptly uninstalled it.

My Days is the least pink of the fertility trackers that I've tried.  And it offers the user the ability to customize the color scheme, which I LOVE.  There is also a BMT tracker which is great.  I think this is the app that allows for the quickest updates.  It's fairly bare-bones.  Long-press on a day to bring up a basic list of events "start period, had sex, took pill".  There is a notes field for more in-depth tracking.
