Period Tracker

Oh, and for a lot of women the word “period” refers to ”menstrual”. Could be good to clarify that since I assume that a man will answer the question. So, yeah the question regards a menstrual tracker.

Thanks.l! It’s basically a calendar function from what I’ve experienced in other apps. It would help me and most likely more people to understand our health data better over time.

Here is new research on how the female menstrual cycle can affect athletic performance: https://www.miun.se/en/Research/research-centers/swsrc/news/2019-2/the-menstrual-cycle-and-female-athletic-performance/

Second this, especially now that fitbit and apple are offering it in their wearables and apps.

Hi Melanie, is there an update on this?

PS: I used to have Fitbit before switching to Withings in May 2019. Fitbit has had a period tracker since March 2018.

Yes. Please integrate a menstrual cycle tracker. Not all users who menstruate are pregnant. I don’t understand why a pregnancy tracker would be included and not a menstrual cycle option? I am using my Fitbit app to continue tracking my period which is inconvenient and annoying,

Same here! I have started FAM and would be good to have a cycle tracker or integration with other apps like Kindara

Maybe nothing happened since this question was originally posted because there’s not enough people “liking” or commenting it? So here I am.

We need a period tracker.
We need an app that can work by its own, so we don’t have to download a shitload of other app to compensate this one!

Thanks all for trying to make this tracker happen! I’m still waiting for it. Been a year since my post. Anybody knows whether this has been picked up?

I hope they will add a period tracker.  I have just given up on Fitbit and I will need to track my period somehow.  It would be great to have everything in one place! 

Also wanted to lend my support to this idea: Please add a period tracker!

This is such an essential part of the lives of half the population and should definitely be included in a health app/health watch!

Dear Withings,
Maybe my female brain is confused, but I was amazed by the fact that I can't find a period tracker in your app. You offer smart watches, smart bands, scales, thermometers, and several other specialized devices. You have a pregnancy tracker and everything BUT for 2 years since the initial comment you failed to give a serious reply on the lack of a menstrual cycle tracker. It concerns about half of your customers after all.

Withings, given the wealth of health related data you have access to, it must be abundantly clear that menstural cycles have an impact on athletic performance, weight, waist measurements, energy levels (to name a few) essentially without a tracker you are preventing all menstruating members from collecting complete data!
Please add this function.

Withings, why is there still no period tracker? I’d really like to be able to track all my metrics in the same place. Women have been tracking this for a really long time, it’s fairly simple. I’d like to know more about the prioritizing to track the “evolution of my home’s temp and CO2” but not have a calendar widget that essentially adds +/-28 days (based on users historical average) to a day I mark on the calendar? This really can be as simple as a basic calendar widget on your dashboard. You can make it fancy once you see half of your users flocking to use it. Come on Withings, I don’t want to have to go back to ugly fitbit.

When will you be adding a period / menstrual tracking feature to the app? I love my watch and the app, but it’s frustrating that both Apple and Fitbit have had this feature for ages, but you don’t. It concerns 50% of your customers and time of month has been proven to greatly affect athletic performance, energy levels and weight, to name a few. I don’t feel I’m able to collect complete data without that tracker. There is one for pregnancy, so why not menstruation?

Just adding my voice here. I’m fed up with having to track my periods on a separate app (FitBit). Surely it’s a simple thing to add when you already have so many features. Please can someone from Withings reply to this and give us all an update? Otherwise I’ll open a new request ;)

I opened a new request and commented on all their social media too - got the same generic request as others 😞

I can’t believe it’s been two years since I posted this request! Anyone heard anything?

Also adding another voice here. It's a really important feature that will encourage me to use the app more and consolidate my tracked data. Quite sad that no action has been taken after 2 years :(

Well, seeing the lack of any kind of response I got rid of the watch and got my self a garmin on its place - which by the way I fully recommend to anyone interested :)
I will of course make sure to warn any woman I know to stay away from this brand until you take some action! 🙄

Kettricken, I did the same. Actually two models so I swap them out, a Lily and a Vivomove 3. they don't have the fantastic battery life the Nokia/Withings watch did (Vivo runs about 3-4 days between charges, the Lily about 24-36 hours) but menstrual tracking and HR monitoring is a necessity.

Another vote for a period tracker please! Considering ditching my watch and switching to a Fitbit to have everything all in one place. You're going to lose your female customers over this.

Seriously!? I now have a watch that does medical grade EKG, and yet I need another app to track my cycle? That borders on insulting :(
