In recent weeks we’ve received some email inquiries from users concerned about possible changes in laws (ie., Roe vs Wade) and what that might mean for their data privacy.

We want to assure our users that we are adamantly opposed to government overreach and we believe that a hypothetical situation where the government subpoenas private user data from health apps to convict people for having an abortion is a gross human rights violation. In such a scenario, we will do all we can to protect our users from such an act. We would rather close down the company than be accomplice to this type of government overreach and privacy violation.

Please see our Privacy Policy here, https://gpapps.com/support/privacy-policy/ .

Please note users can use Period Tracker without a Period Tracker online account and the data will be stored only locally on the user’s device.  If the user wants access to Period Tracker’s online backup feature then the user needs to sign up for an account for automatic regular backing up of data to a secure server.

Our TTC charts (in Period Tracker for iOS and Android) provide helpful features to help you manage your journey to conceive.

The TTC chart features an easy way to view your temps at glance.  Our app, through advanced algorithms, analyzes each inputted temperature and automatically calculates your probably ovulation date and marks it with a coverline.

Users can change the coverline and input their own ovulation date as well.  Users can also choose which TTC method they are tracking and prefer to use in the app’s settings.

Period Tracker (iOS and Android versions) now feature an TTC Mode.

To activate TTC mode, go to the app’s settings and turn on TTC mode.  Advanced TTC mode will activate several features within the app to help you track your journey to conceive.

The Add Note page will contain further features, including BBT, OPK, Pregnancy Test and other options for you to track.  Also there’s a quick link to a BBT chart to view your temps and ovulation.

Our Pregnancy mode in both our Period Tracker iOS and Android apps has been updated to feature week-by-week articles.

Each week, users can view a illustrated overview of their baby’s development as well as a detailed account of what’s changing in their bodies.

To activate Pregnancy mode, go to the app’s settings and turn on Pregnancy mode.

Our iOS apps (for both Period Tracker Lite and Deluxe) now feature integration with Apple Health.

Just got to the App’s settings and click on the Apple Health option.  You’ll be then shown a screen to ask your permission to access Apple Health and you will be able to choose which data to access and share.

We’ve made several changes to our Log and Charts tab in both our iOS and Android apps.  First, we’ve simplified the tab to include Period Log as one of the top tabs on the screen.  The charts also have been redesigned to be viewed in portrait mode (previously they were landscape only).  This allows our users to view charts quicker and easier.  We’ve also have some neat features like viewing just your moods for the past week, past 2 weeks or past month.

Our calendar in both our Period Tracker iOS and Android apps now feature a more sleek, modern and cleaner look.

We’ve changed out the triangles in the right corner of period days and replaced them with different color bars, depending on the user’s flow.  We’ve also updated various icons on the calendar page to help users find more info at a glance.

As some of you get your new iPhone 6/6+, you might be wondering how to transfer your Period Tracker data from your old phone to your new one. It’s really easy to do!

Since your Period Tracker data is kept on your phone’s memory, you’ll have to do a backup of your Period Tracker data from your old phone to restore it onto your new one. Here’s how:

1. On your old phone, open Period Tracker and go to settings/data/backup (make sure your phone has an Internet connection).

2. If you do not already have a PTracker backup account, go ahead and create one. We’ll email you an activation link which you’ll have to click on to activate your new account.

3. Click on the “Backup Now” button. This will create a backup of your data.

4. From your new phone, re-download Period Tracker. Then go to Period Tracker app settings/data/restore page. Log in to your PTracker backup account. Then click on the backup that you just did and press “restore”. This will restore your data to your new phone.

*These steps will work whether you’re moving to/from an iPhone, Android phone or Windows 7 phone. We hope you enjoy your new phone!

Ps. If you no longer have your old phone with all of your data in it, go to this link http://gpapps.com/support/period-tracker-faq/how-do-i-transfer-my-data-from-my-old-phone-to-my-new-one/ for information on how to look for a backup file from your old phone.

Update: Period Tracker v 1.2 that fixes the hidden calendar issue is now available in the Windows Phone Store. If you were affected by this issue, please do not delete your app but go to the Windows Phone Store and download the latest update. This will fix the issue while preserving all of your past data. Thank you for your patience.

We discovered a bug in our Windows Phone app where starting in 2013, the calendar is hidden and the add note function is not working. Though you may not be able to see your past notes, they are safe as long as you do not delete your app from your phone.

We uploaded an update last night to the Windows Marketplace that fixes these issues. We are waiting for Microsoft to review and approve the update. In the meantime, please do not delete your app as this will cause you to lose your past information. When the update is available, please download it to fix the issue. We apologize for the inconvenience.
