Cyclendar.com vs paper charting / calendaring

Paper charting is the past of ovulation calendars. What's wrong with this outdated method of tracking your cycle:

Paper chart doesn't automatically calculate cycle statistics
It doesn't automatically predict ovulation, fertile days, next menstruation day
It doesn't forecast future
It doesn't calculate due date
You have to perform more work manually - it is simply harder to do

And, of course, with Cyclendar.com you can print out your paper chart anytime :)

Cyclendar.com vs online calculators

There are a number of the simple online ovulation calculators out there, where you have to enter the first day of your cycle and the average cycle length. What's wrong with them:

Calculator doesn't store your information
You have to enter your average cycle length into a calculator - while Cyclendar.com will compute it automatically and more than that - it will calculate cycle deviation and everything that it takes to perform more precise calculations
It doesn't take into account the fluctuations in your cycle - it assumes every cycle is as long as your average one
It doesn't detect ovulation - it assumes every woman has ovulation 14 days before menstruation
It doesn't deal with BBT and other parameters like cervical mucus, position of the cervix, etc
Calculator doesn't calculate your statistics
Calculator doesn't print charts
It doesn't track your pregnancy after all
And it doesn't do a lot of other things

Cyclendar.com web service vs shareware program
