    BlueMoon and Periodical can also be found on the F-Droid app store, no need for Google Play Services:

    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

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