Advantages of Synchronization

Synchronization allows users to take advantage of the features and conveniences offered by different editions of the Hormonal Forecaster. You can enter and view your data using one edition and then synchronize your data records with another edition. This allows you to seamlessly use multiple versions of the Hormonal Forecaster.

The Hormonal Forecaster desktop version is designed to be the central software that unites the different versions. It contains the most diverse feature set and the most advanced computational capabilities. You can enter and view your data using other platform editions and then synchronize back with your desktop computer to maintain a permanent record and point of reference. While each version of the Hormonal Forecaster can still be used on its own, synchronization offers you the most flexibility to combine individual solutions to best cater to your fertility and personal information needs.
