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