Nothing, except maybe make the algorithm less useful to people who actually use it. WhiskeyGrinder Feb 2023 #3

EVA Period Tracker and Period Calendar Deluxe, which both say I'm 211 days late because I haven't pulled them up since they were installed. They are free at the Windows Store. Apple will most probably want to charge you. LOL

The idea is good and admirable, but it will mess with algorithms on sites who aggregate data for the benefit of users who track their cycles.

I get the desire to help and that is to be commended.

A lot of people inputing falss info into an app may cause issues for those using the period tracker as a fertility monitor. Many apps and websites will combine data from multiple charts across the site in order to provide users a chance to see charts like theirs. One such site is Fertility Friend, which has a "see charts like mine" feature. Without getting into all the technical aspects, this tends to be very helpful for those monitoring fertility for pregnancy/avoidance of pregnancy. " Trying to Conceive" and "Trying to Avoid" groups exist in the millions across the internet and chart comparison opportunities on these sites/apps are extremely popular.

Political action at the local and national level is most helpful. Get more men/male-identifying folks to speak up and take action on behalf of all those targeted by these menstrual tracking freaks.
