Period tracking apps are used by nearly one in three women in the US logging information about length of menstrual cycle, types of birth control used, and other health issues.

Tracking periods is bad enough, but when they start tracking ellipses...

Why use an app at all?

Can they not read a calendar

I personally feel that young girls going on birth control at a very early age has caused the fertility issues we have today.

I’ve tried most of them. They don’t work, even when I try my hardest to identify as a female. Maybe I am too old and have already went through manopause.

All the pedometers and medical data devices share your data. You can’t opt out. Data goes to the vendor, China and whoever they sell it to. I think the feds can get it too, but not positive.

Yes, women need to track their periods to know when they’re fertile and when the difficult time of month is gonna happen. The complex machinery of reproduction doesn’t operate like clockwork. Jeez!

One third of women use an app to track their cycles?

I can understand if a woman is tracking her cycle, but, why the need for an app?

This sounds like an issue of privacy, of another example of our private information on the internet. Be careful out there; we all leave a footprint online.

I only track apostrophes, as they are misused the most.

I always used a paper calendar, but young people do life on their phones. I’m not at all surprised that the data is not secure. That must be the default assumption for any app.

It’s amazing. I worked in a call center environment with about 400 women.

You did not need an app.

Why use one? Is a calendar or memory not good enough? Do people use apps to tell them if they wiped their rear end?

So if someone steals that information ... what would they do with it?

Aren’t all devices not secure, sharing your personal data hither and yon?
