Top 10 Women's Health Apps UK 2026: Independent Review
We assessed hundreds of women's health apps for the UK and EU. Here are the top 10, plus the red flags we found along the way.
You've just found out you're pregnant. You download an app, enter your dates and start reading. Then, at 13 weeks, the good stuff disappears behind a paywall.
Or you've been tracking your cycle for months, only to discover the app has been sharing that data with advertisers.
Nobody tells you any of this before you download. We think that's backwards.
Women should be able to find out whether an app is safe and accurate before they hand over their time, their money and some of the most personal information they have. That's why we built SheRanked.
We assessed hundreds of women's health apps available in the UK and EU and used the results to create the SheRanked Top 100. Below, we reveal the top 10. But the more important story is what we found beyond them.
The quality fell away fast
We expected a spread of good, average and poor. What we got was a cliff. Once we got past roughly the 200th app we assessed, the quality of information available collapsed. There was little to no clear detail on who built the app, where the advice came from, how data was handled or what it would cost.
For some of those apps, a low score doesn't mean the app is bad. Many are new, and there simply isn't enough public information to judge them. But that is exactly the problem. If we couldn't find basic safety information after hours of looking, how is a woman meant to find it in the thirty seconds before she taps "install"?
The red flags we kept finding
Across the apps we assessed, the same problems came up again and again:
Paywalls at the wrong moment. Some pregnancy apps lock content after 13 weeks, just as many women need information on scans, symptoms and decisions about birth.
Subscriptions that limit access based on finances. When safety information and useful features sit behind a monthly fee, the women with the least money get the least support.
Women's health data being sold or shared. Cycle dates, pregnancy status, symptoms and moods are valuable, and some apps treat them as a product.
Exclusion of certain socioeconomic groups. Some apps are designed in ways that assume a level of income, device quality or English-language literacy that many women don't have.
Gamification that causes anxiety, not health. Streaks, scores, badges and nudges can turn tracking into pressure. An app that makes you anxious about missing a day isn't improving your health.
None of these are marked clearly in the app store. You usually find out after you've signed up.
The SheRanked Top 10
Here are the apps that scored best against our criteria- Medical Accuracy, Data Privacy & Protection, User Accessibility, Ethical Standards & Behavioural Impact
A few things stand out. Four of the ten are pregnancy and parenting apps, which suggests this category has some of the most carefully built products, and some of the biggest gaps in the bottom half of our list.
Only three are dedicated period trackers, even though "best period tracker" is one of the most searched phrases in this space. And Balance is our only menopause and midlife app in the top 10, a reminder of how little choice women in perimenopause and menopause have.
Why Euki came first
Euki takes the top spot, and the reason is easy to explain: it does what it says and asks for very little in return.
Everything you enter stays on your device. Euki doesn't collect your personal data, so there is far less risk of it being sold, shared or exposed. For an app that handles reproductive health information, that is rare, and it's why Euki scored so highly on privacy and ethical practice.
It's also free, which removes the financial barrier that locks many women out of other apps. The design is inclusive and considers diverse communities, with options you can customise. There are no streaks, scores or nudges designed to make you feel guilty for missing a day. It offers straightforward tracking with educational content and leaves it there.
It isn't perfect. Euki scored lower on educational impact and behavioural support, so it's not the app for you if you want in-depth guidance or coaching. But as a model of how a women's health app should treat the people using it, it's the one the rest should be measured against.
Best for: anyone who wants to track their reproductive health privately, without paying or giving up their data.
A low score isn't always a bad app
This matters, so we'll be clear: where an app scored low, it's because we couldn't verify enough about it, or because we found issues like those above. For newer apps especially, a low score reflects a lack of available information. We would love for those developers to publish clear safety, privacy and evidence information, and we'll update our rankings when they do.
What to check before you download any health app
You don't need our ranking to protect yourself. Before you install anything:
Find out what it costs. Is the free version actually useful, or does it lock key features, especially in pregnancy?
Read what it does with your data. Look for the words "share", "partners" and "advertising" in the privacy policy.
Check who's behind the advice. Are clinicians or credible organisations named?
Notice how it makes you feel. If it creates pressure or anxiety, it isn't helping.
Look for a way to delete your data. If you can't find one, think twice.
FAQs
What is the best women's health app in the UK?
In our assessment, Euki ranked first overall. The best app for you depends on what you need, whether that's period tracking, pregnancy, fertility or menopause, so check the table above for each category.
Are women's health apps safe?
It varies enormously. Some are careful with your data and information, while others share data, hide costs or use design that increases anxiety. Check before you download.
Do women's health apps sell your data?
Some do, or share it with third parties. The privacy policy is the place to look, which is why we make it part of our assessment.
