With most other apps they wouldn't even have to, police buy it from data brokers.

#13To help drive home the privacy angle, you might consider open-sourcing it and also making it available on F-Droid. Also, why does it say "in-app purchases"? If this is a simple calendar I don't see why any purchasable extras should be necessary.

What's the status of trustworthy reproducible build systems for deploying open source code to apps on Android?

#15Congrats! Adding 2 cents here: my wife only used a menstruation tracker when we were trying to conceive. Having the app predict/notify the ovulation day was useful.
The opposite can also be true - at least for knowing the relative risk of getting her pregnant.

The in-app purchases are a dealbreaker. Not only is there no reason for it, but it necessitates the integration of Google Play Services.
If the goal was to be privacy-centric, it already fails at that for this alone.
And if the goal was to profit off of women's need for privacy-centric period tracking, then there is absolutely no reason not to find a proper FOSS alternative that cares about its users more than making passive income for the developer.

Sorry to hijack a bit here, but have any good links to open source baby tracking apps that allow sharing between partners? The popular options out there on the app stores are a privacy dumpster fire.

Indeed, given the legal complications of reproductive health in some states, privacy would be at the top of my mind if considering to use an app like this.

No experience but Alternativeto.net might help.
The sharing part makes that a little less common.
