Terrible rollout of recent changes – iPeriod Lite Period Tracker Review

I used this app b/c I could log my info without creating an account before. I wanted to provide as little personally identifiable info as possible. So rolling out updates in Oct. 2020 requiring users to create accounts/sign-in only w/ Apple ID withOUT advance warning was a terrible plan. So we couldn’t export our data before the updates. No thought to user experience about very important health data. They didn’t even think of keeping sign in w/ email and had to rush that in. There should have been a transition window to let existing users access the app and their personal health data 2-3 times w/o signing in so we can export our data one last time. There’s no explanation of where & to whom our data is being migrated to. They haven’t even updated their Terms of Service or Privacy Policy legal documents to reflect the mandatory sign in changes or mention Apple & what user information is being exchanged with Apple (if a user signs in with Apple ID). As I write this review, these legal documents haven’t been updated since Nov. 28, 2018. So I haven’t used the app since Sept. and lost access to my health info.
