Mensinator is fantastic!
Any app that you are using to track your medical information is 100% saving that data and selling it off. I don't know why people are shocked to discover this.
Not if your app is open-source, like from F-droid.
My GF uses Flo. Can you elaborate why it is spyware? Who is spying? What data are being collected?
Edit: nvm, I was too stupid to see the hidden drop down text
I have a TempDrop and use it for BBT tracking. It's got an app to do it. I assume this isnt private - how bad is it?

Mensinator is also FOSS! Easy convenient IU super fast. Drip is slower more UI clunky.
