Developed by smartphone app developer Plackal in consultation with gynaecologists, LoveCycles displays menstrual phases on an intuitive, color coded calendar. The app helps women monitor their cycles closely and highlights the fertile phases of menstrual cycles, thus improving accuracy of contraception as well as conception. LoveCycles has been critically acclaimed for its simple yet fun design and focus on usability.

Apart from tracking and predicting menstrual cycles, the app allows users to track their weight, temperature and intimate days. Users can have all recorded data at their fingertips during medical appointments, thus improving the efficacy of every consultation. LoveCycles generates easy to read graphs for weight and temperature and also allows users to set reminders for specific phases of a cycle. The statistics feature provides a summary of all the cycles monitored to better understand patterns in one's cycles.

Originally released in English, the app has been translated to twelve international languages including French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, German, Chinese, Italian, Swedish, Korean, Dutch and Japanese. LoveCycles is currently featured in the 'What's Hot' section of the Apple App Store in Germany, The Netherlands, Italy, France and Portugal. On the Windows Phone Marketplace, the app is ranked among the top 10 apps under the Health & Fitness category in Russia, Italy, Germany, France and China. The top 5 countries in terms of downloads are South Korea, United States, Germany, Russia and Italy across different platforms.

LoveCycles is currently rated 4.5 out of 5 across all the application stores. User comments on the app stores highlight why users prefer LoveCycles over similar apps. "I have tried several cycle calendars and this is the best one I have come across," says a user review on the Google Play store for Android. Another comment reads "Each day is categorized with the likelihood for getting pregnant. Very nifty. Option to see all periods is great for doctor visits."

The app is available on the Windows Phone Marketplace, Apple App Store, Google Play Store and Samsung Apps. It is supported on a wide variety of devices with small to large screens. The app will be available soon on the Amazon Appstore for Android. A version of LoveCycles for the iPad and Blackberry devices is under development.
