Serious: good period tracking app? (hexbear.net)

So yeah, my girlfriend had been using and liking Orchyd for her period tracking, but now they're deleting the app for some reason. She's tried a few open source alternatives like "drip." but not convinced because it doesn't give predictions of ovulation, PMS, etc. After searching for a while with her, some of the most popular good-looking options are paywalled, and we've so far settled on MeetYou, an app I found after looking for "Chinese period app", which seems decent but has ads and it's not open source.

What do you people (or your partners) recommend?

Not unhelpful at all, and you are totally right. I personally would only go for offline tracking, but I understand that for my gf, living in a country where private medical insurance is uncommon, she's not so concerned about the privacy of her menstrual cycle. Her decision at the end of the day. Thanks a lot for your input!
