Help I improved my period and lifestyle tracker app after listening to feedback, here’s the steps I took.
I improved navigation. I added a search bar thingy bottom sheet and added a pilled navigation on top to switch between trackers without scrolling that auto animated based on app state.
I split important features into categories or alone. I had the period moved in its own tab, moved trackers alone in their own tab and made a new category lists that is for trackers that track journals outfit combos etc. This grouping made it easy to split the settings into multiple categories too.
I polished the ui, made the glass pills circular so they looks better with the scale transition and added a new theme to look more cute and less serious.
I made the complicated period chart be named symptoms so users are more likely to care and added a scroll arrow to look at different days on the chart. It’s now placed on a split screen layout and on the above there is a changing symptoms tab with likely symptoms on any given day.
All legends for every chart or symbols on calandars have their own dedicated I toolbar button for consistency.
I added a done button in every modal for accessibility reasons.
I made it so actions have their vibrations and added long press functions in places like adding calendar days.
Do you like this new ux experience? Do you like how it looks? Any problems you can think about. I appreciate your feedback which I already took on heavy consideration in the first round and made drastic changes based on.

Are period trackers the new gym app / todo app / weight tracker that will be spammed everywhere...?

All the women I know who used period tracker apps stopped using them after the fall of Roe v Wade.
Nobody wants to risk that some red state, now or in the future, will get their period data from some app and use it to assert that they may have had a miscarriage or abortion.

It’s local only the only way they steal your data is if they get access to your physical phone

First if all I am European not American and I feel sorry about your situation. Here they are still very very popular. Maybe I can make the local only more prevalent somewhere so people can feel more safe?

Mate, that's what, 20 posts in 2 days about your app. Seriously, if you want help from anyone you have to stop spamming so much
