This app got released today. I would like to get some feedback how its working.
You can also send feed back from my website.
Not the target audience, but I can say the jolla store presentation with the header , the description, features and screenshots is very well done.

So far seems excellent! Iâll write some feedback after some month of use.

Some reason if the cover resoluution is wrong it goes over the borders which the harbour doesnt give notification for
Congrats on the app! Looks great but Iâm not the target audience either 
Working on one, too! Is yours open source? If so I might rather contribute than create a separate one.

I tried Sail Cylce just now. So far it looks good.
Just one thing I noticed:
I added the start day of my last period and than the start date of the period before that. Then I added the end date of my last period and wanted to add the end date of the period before that. But that is not possible. I get the message that it is not possible to enter an end date before a period start.
I know that this is not a problem for further use, only for first starting using the App and adding past periods.
I hope I will use it in the future (if not, that is most likly a âme problemâ because I just stop tracking data at some point)

I just installed this on my JP and I have a similar local-only app on my old droid I can compare it to.
Based on the above, I decided to add in my older entries from oldest to newest, as I was not sure if the start date end date issue had been resolved - but so far I really like it.
And thus my feedback is going to be very nitpicky and likely based around my opinion of how I like information presented to me.
Current Cycle Section
I like that it clearly shows what cycle day it is and when the cycle started. For me I donât think I need to see when I recorded the end of my last bleed - but if I had logged that one had started and had forgotten to log the end (it happens - I have one of those brains that falls to pieces during menstruation) then maybe a message reminding me to log the end of the period there would be useful, or maybe itâs already in there and I just havenât âforgottenâ this time around.
Next Cycle Section
Also really good. I think to avoid redundant info/keep things cleaner, the âEstimated periodâ line could be changed to something like âEstimated End: [date] (X days)â, but the reminder of how the estimation is calculated is very useful!
Calendar
I like that this can be switched between weekly and monthly views as preferred, and that various options can be toggled on and off in the settings. I ended up switching off the legend but thatâs because Iâve used apps like this so much that itâs kinda clear what a red dot one day and then the green dot another day probably means. To nitpick, I think a more colour-blind friendly combination such as red and blue, rather than red and green, would be more accessible. Red-Green colourblindness is rare in women but it still happens!
Today
For me, I would much prefer to see the Today section much higher, at least the âNo entry recordedâ and âAdd todayâs entryââ bits. It would probably be a good reminder for users to track daily symptoms even if it doesnât initially seem related to the cycle. Again, I have a brain where certain symptoms flare up towards the end of the cycle.
Those other bits about cycle stats can stay near the end - theyâre kind of interesting but not always needed to know (for me)
Adding an Entry
I really like the mood scales and the pain scales - and the other questions about energy, sleep quality, that we can add notes about pain affecting normal activity, if the logged bleed is unusual. Given that the energy and sleep quality questions are also numeric based - it might also be nice to have those as scales like mood and pain.
In addition, one thing that I do like about the app I was using on Android is that I could report certain mood symptoms like âirritableâ âangryâ âstressedâ âsadâ âdepressedâ âforgetfulâ, etc, so that it wasnât just about how âbadâ I felt, but the types of bad I was feeling!
But itâs always good to see non-femme people working on apps like this for people with menstrual cycles, so thank you so much for your work so far. As I say, I feel like Iâm being nitpicky, but I hope the feedback is useful.

Is there some platform for it? Because i can give it as opensource if you wish to help.
Not the target audience my only feedback is on the name, i would propose to maybe rename it to something else. perhaps something with tide or tidal
only because tides are periodic 
Its hard to comeup a good name and this was the only Sailfish/ Jolla name that sounds somehow related. The name isint supposed to be obvious because its about health and private health information and mostly its not to be offensive name

Maybe would be a nice addition to publish the source code?
I kind of would need help where to publish the code since i dont have experience on that Github? Some other service?

In the Jolla Store, most apps are published on Github yes. or Gitea or Codeberg sometimes.
Maybe @rikudou_sennin has some suggestion of where to publish, as planned to contribute�
Well, if you want to avoid github, you can publish source tarballs on your ftp or something.
But GitHub is really easy if you already use git, just create an account, click the plus icon in top right to create a repo, give it a name and on creation it will list commands to push your existing repo there.
Make sure to uncheck creating the README during creation and donât choose a license there, it would create those files and youâd have two diverging git histories.
