At times, I’m sure you wish there was an app for everything; an app to look for your phone in your bag, close a deal, fetch you some water, make your neighbor’s noisy kid keep quiet or make you forget an ex. Any woman on-the-go always needs an app that will make her life easier; and if this is you, the following free android apps will make you live effortlessly.

1. Period Tracker

It reaches a point where we all get tired of keeping tabs on our menstrual cycle; and when that happens, probably it’s time you get this app to do that for you. All you have to do is download it; follow the instructions to set it up and after which, key in the dates your cycle begins and ends. You can also set a reminder which will go off on the day you opt for before your periods begin.

The good thing about this app is it will help you budget for sanitary towels or tampons; and make you know the time when your hormones start acting up so that you are able to get a hold of yourself.

2. Water your body

If you cannot take the proverbial eight glasses of water every day, downloading this app will help you do it. Once you install it in your phone, it will give you the right amount of water to take and when you gulp it, you will have to key in the amount so that the app keeps a record but if you don’t, it will keep on reminding you until you do it. It is recommended that a woman takes 2.2 liters of water every day; and be sure this app will get you there even if you were not close to taking a glass of water daily.

3. Me against rape

Prevention is still better than cure and unfortunately, every woman is susceptible to being raped but if you have the chance to prevent it, do so. All of the things women are supposed to do to prevent rape include having this app which will track your movements and record every place you visit.

If you are in danger, it has a panic button which when pressed, will call the contact number you saved whilst installing it and even automatically send a pre-saved message to two other contacts you would have set up, saying you need help. It also has a record button that can be used when you are having an altercation, which will end up serving as evidence if it gets to that point.

4. Bills reminder

The days of using paper and pen to keep up with paying your bills are running out. You can go for this app which will put straight your finances and bills. Once you install it, you will list all your bills, the amount each costs, put the due date and set a reminder date which suits you best. After this, it will keep an eye on your upcoming, overdue, unpaid and paid bills; and give you a report on the bill you would have saved.

5. Lady Pill Reminder

I have never used this app but after one of my close friends requested me to remind her to take her pills, I figured, why not visit Play Store and look for an app that will help her? If you are on the birth control pill, this app will help you stick to your schedule without forgetting or procrastinating. From the reviews, it has helped forgetful women set several reminders and take the pill. Its features include the type of pill, reminder time, pill buying reminder and the interval in which you should take the pill.

6. Workout trainer

There is absolutely no excuse for you not to be fit especially if you want it. If you skip going to the gym, this app will help you realize your fitness goals. From yoga to weight training and abs work out, it will give you plenty of options on how to get your dream body. The exercises will be tailored to meet your fitness goals; and in addition to this, you will get instructions from expert coaches therefore it won’t be hard for you to get them.
