Half Way There

I love the concept of this app…being able to track symptoms/pain, but…there are several flaws.

1) I do not have time to click on each individual hand and foot joint every single day. It’s too annoying to click the join, then the symptoms, then do the same thing about 30 more times.

2) The is nowhere to tack other variables that might contribute to lesser pain, ie supplements,food changes, exercise, hot water, ice packs, etc.

Still looking for something that will allow me to see patterns that reduce/improve my symptoms with a good UX/UI.

Thank you very much for your thoughtful review. Our Development Team is focused on improving symptom entry in the next major update to the app.

3 weeks of tracking

Found this app after my rheumatologist suggested tracking symptoms (correlate with new meds: intro of Methatrexate, then Leflunomide), following ‘sero-negative’ Rheumatoid arthritis diagnosed early-May 2024.
I’ve found this a VERY useful tool, and from what I understand, it’s the first app that you can include on settings, so your specialist is also able to view trends/tracking related to med adjustments

My review

Excellent App lots of information and I love how you can document everything, great community too but I’m not sure if my rheumatologist would connect with me through this app as I live
In NZ and our Healthcare is different to yours. Links to recipes for RA would be great too thanks again.

So easy to use

I have Palindromic Rheumatism. This is a really helpful app. Helps me track the intensity and details of each flare.

So far so good

I’m liking the app but can’t find where to set the weather.

Response from developer

We're glad you're finding the app to be helpful! The weather information is set automatically when you have provided permission to RA Monitor to access your location. To reset your location, please follow this instructions: 1. Close RA Monitor 2. Open your main iPhone settings and scroll down until you see the list of your apps at the bottom of the screen 3. Find RA Monitor and select it 4. Select Location and turn off the permission for the app (if it is turned off, otherwise go to Step 6) 5. Go to your Home screen and then back to Settings and find RA Monitor again 6. Then turn the permission back on by setting Location to “While Using the App”. If you are using the most current iOS version, you can also turn on “Precise Location” which may provide more accurate data. However, it will still work without turning on this setting. 7. Open RA Monitor and you should now be able to see weather data related to your current location.

Helpful for Communication with my Doctor

I love this app to document my symptoms for my rheum. I’m in the middle of a particularly bad flare and this has documented every single day. It asks for specific joints of concern and other symptoms like fatigue and fever.

Versatile app with lots of good resources.

This app has a symptom tracker, mood tracker med tracker, ability to function. There are articles available, and provider’s available. It has resources available for patient assistance programs. I know that is a huge deal for people with RA especially when it causes people to lose their jobs!

Thank you very much for the great review!

If one thing could be added…

I would really love somewhere to log diet/food intake to be able to track my symptoms along with what I’m eating. I feel it would help figure out what helps and what sets off symptoms/ flares.

Otherwise I like the app a lot. It can be a bit tedious tapping all the places I have pain, stiffness, swelling, etc., but that’s because my fingers don’t always work well.

Cannot generate a PDF report

I love the app for tracking symptoms. However, I mainly got the app to show my rheumatologist my symptoms; but I cannot pull up a PDF report. Can anybody pull one up?
