10 Best Period Tracker Apps UK 2024 | Glow, Flo and More

By far one of the most popular products on the market, Flo displays your data in useful graphs, teaching you about your cycle – this is excellent for navigating doctors appointments. It also has an anonymous chat function where you can ask any questions that you’re too worried to voice out loud.

This is an excellent choice if you think that pregnancy might not be too far off as it easily switches from a period tracker to a pregnancy tracker. Flo syncs with Apple Health too, allowing you to connect your period data with your sleep, water, workouts and general health for even more accurate results. 

Period Tracker by Period Calendar is the highest-rated period tracking app on Google, with thousands of positive reviews. But this could be down to the interface as it is particularly cute! The app is very user friendly, aesthetically pleasing and super easy to navigate.

It has a straightforward system of tracking symptoms by splitting them into sections such as head, body, cervix and emotional. This is also one of the few apps which is highly rated by experts and doctors as it uses the data to point out any potential underlying health issues which may require further investigation.

If you’re into design, Cycles is one of the most aesthetically-pleasing period tracking apps out there. It’s super minimalist, with simple graphics and soothing colours. In fact, it doesn’t look like a period app at all! The features and functions are customisable so you can make this app fit perfectly with your goals.

You can also invite your partner to sync up so that they are aware of your PMS days and can provide emotional support. Though it's only available on iOS, it is compatible with all your small devices including iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. 

Not content with simply being a period-tracker, Clue is on a mission to teach you about your body. Track a long list of emotional and physical symptoms such as skin health, cramps, sexual activity and mood swings – anything you can think of that relates to your periods, you can probably track with the Clue app. 

It’s very sciency, providing reports of your cycles and activity, but it's still simple to use and has an extensive library of health articles which you can browse to your heart’s content. This makes it one of the best choices for people wanting to learn more about their bodies and personal cycles.

On the whole, period tracking apps are much more accurate if your cycles are regular. This can be a huge pain for those who don't – and we don’t need any more pain, right? If you have irregularities, no matter how severe, MyFlo would be a great option as their app specifically targets those starting their periods or approaching menopause. 

This is also an excellent app if you have unusual PMS symptoms like heavy bloating, migraines or constipation. By tracking a range of symptoms, it can provide accurate insights about your general health, any hormone imbalances you might have and even suggest lifestyle changes.

Eve is the baby sister of Glow, the original fertility-tracking app. However, this one is all about periods. This app is geared towards teenagers and young adults, as it lets you record events which might affect your cycles such as gym habits and your sex life. 

One of the best features of Eve is their fun forecast called the Cyclescope. It predicts where you are in your monthly cycle with a horoscope-type daily announcement. There are fun quizzes on sex and periods and a community of other girls to chat with. But, if you want to change your goals – i.e track your fertility, you will need another app.

Most period tracking apps are either geared towards teenagers just beginning to menstruate or those with regular cycles. But a woman in their 40s-50s who might be approaching menopause will have different requirements for their tracking app than a 13-year-old who's just received her first period. 

This is the best app on the market specifically designed for older women with perimenopause. You can track erratic, irregular periods, symptoms like hot flushes, anxiety attacks and migraines. This is super useful for doctors visits and any treatments that you might have. 

Before Eve we had Glow – the original fertility tracking app. Backed by experts and doctors worldwide, Glow is one of the best apps on the market. It allows you to track up to 40 different data points such as sexual activity and basal temperature, making it one of the most accurate apps out there.

This can all be done with a simple daily log. Primarily used to track fertility, the app uses your data to report stats like ‘13% chance of getting pregnant today’, but the features work just as well for tracking periods too. The major downside to Glow is that you need to buy a 3-month minimum subscription if you want to upgrade.

Teen Period Tracker is an app for girls who have recently started their period. The interface is basic, simple and friendly, making it very easy to use. It is also an excellent resource for learning about hygiene and period products, with a huge library of articles to browse from.

The app also has a bonus feature with a reminder to take your birth control pill which is always a tough one to get used to in the beginning! The thing which really lets this app down is their pricing system – you need to collect (or buy) coins to access premium content. 

Sometimes you just don’t need or want all the fancy frills, bells and whistles, and that’s where Apple comes in. Did you know that if you’re one of the millions of people who own an iPhone, then you already have a pre-installed period tracker?

The Apple Health App (the one with the little pink heart) contains an option to track your periods. It’s pretty basic when compared with the all-singing, all-dancing apps like Glow, but if you just need a simple prediction of your bleeding days, your symptoms and your fertile window then this is a great option, and it’s free!
