Looking for a Fertility Friend alternative?
Fertility Friend is the veteran charting app for people trying to conceive, with deep temperature and sign charting and an active community. MoodSwings is a different shape of app — and this page is an honest comparison rather than a pitch, so the table starts with what Fertility Friend does better.
Fertility Friend vs MoodSwings, side by side
| Fertility Friend | MoodSwings | |
|---|---|---|
| Known for | Fertility Friend is the veteran charting app for people trying to conceive, with deep temperature and sign charting and an active community. | A calm period tracker built around how you actually feel: next-period and cycle-phase estimates, mood and symptom logging in a few taps, PMS patterns over time, and optional partner sharing. |
| Genuinely better at | Serious charting — years of refined fertility charts, cross-checks and community interpretation that no lightweight tracker matches. | MoodSwings covers the everyday case instead: when your period is likely, how you tend to feel beforehand, and a partner view if you want one. |
| Day to day it feels like | A charting tool: you record fertility signs yourself and read them by a method you have learned, rather than being handed an estimate. | One screen, a few taps a day. Dates, mood and symptoms in the same place — and if you want, a partner view where you choose what is visible. |
Stay with Fertility Friend if…
…you are actively charting to conceive and want the detail its charts give you.
We would rather you kept an app that fits than switched and stopped logging after a fortnight. A half-used tracker cannot show you a pattern.
MoodSwings is a wellness tracker, not a medical device, and makes no clinical claims — its dates are estimates from your own logged cycles.
What you get if you do switch
- Predictions that learn your pattern. Next-period, cycle-day and cycle-phase estimates that adjust as you log, instead of assuming a textbook 28 days.
- Mood and symptoms next to your dates. Cramps, bloating, sleep, energy, cravings and how you felt — logged in a few taps, kept as history.
- Your PMS pattern, over months. The days before your period stop being a surprise once you can see them repeating.
- Ovulation and fertile-window estimates when you want them, from your own logged cycles.
- Optional partner sharing, on your terms. You choose whether to share at all and what a partner can see — it is off until you turn it on.
