This app has changed my life
I have multiple rare, complex medical conditions. Some diagnosed, some in the process of diagnosis. This app has helped me communicate with my doctors, what is happening and when. For example, I was having allergic reactions everyday around 1am. My guava app alerted me of the correlation and I brought it to my doctor. I have since received a diagnosis (that originally stumped my first doctor and continued to get more severe), and have received treatment that I otherwise wouldn’t have got without this important data.
The developers are so such kind people, who have reached out to me personally (someone with little to no social media presence, just a fan of the app), and have discussed updates that could help me, at not additional cost to me.
I’m a proud premium member of this app, because I truly believe in it, and want it to continue to grow and evolve to help others with complex medical conditions.

Amazing app
I never write reviews for apps, but Guava is absolutely amazing. There’s a lot of potentially useful features like symptom logging, notes to prep for appointments, etc. that I don’t really take advantage of, but mostly I just love being able to see all my records and health data in one place. You can get literally all records from all time and all health systems to show up in a single place, and view them all super easily. Everything is super well organized and you can easily export and share the data. There’s also handy features like definitions for medical terms or abbreviations that show up directly in the chart and simple explanations of blood test results that make it much easier to interpret.
Highly recommend for anyone who is dealing with complex health issues or chronic conditions and wants to more easily view and manage their health data or better understand their condition.

LOVE THIS APP
I have been trying to find a symptom tracker that worked for me for YEARS. This is the perfect app that I was looking for.
Reasons:
-track multiple, not always related, symptoms at the same time/in the same place
-add multiple instances throughout the day, but can modify each entry
- easy visualization
- can add multiple of your own symptoms (or anything you want to track, like waking up in the middle of the night)
-can add details to the symptoms each time it’s entered. Like severity, trigger, etc. Example: headache at 3:15pm, 7/10 severity, sudden onset, with pain over L eye.
—but you don’t HAVE to add details if you don’t want to. Or even assign a time. Can just be I had that symptom that day or not.
-can add in factors that may be cause, not just symptoms. Such as medications and when they are taken, drinking caffeine, eating a certain type of food.
App is useful for:
-possible correlation/causation of symptoms (Do I have a food allergy?)
-trends in symptoms (is my headache always only in the morning?)
-monitoring pre-existing conditions (diabetes, migraines)
-monitoring medication side effects (Is my pain medication making me nauseous?)
I haven’t tried their trends algorithm thingy yet, so can’t report on how useful that is.
I am SO HAPPY I found this app. Also, all of this description is for the FREE version. <3

Response from developer
Thank you for taking the time to write a review, and for your kind words! We're always looking for more ways to improve Guava, so feel free to send us feedback in the app whenever you have ideas, or if you have thoughts on Correlations once you try them out.
Worth it
I suffer with multiple chronic illnesses and struggle to keep on top of meds.
This app helps to remind me to take them but also is a good place to log other things like appointments, mood, energy levels and even a good tracker.
It’s been very helpful to me and could be to you too.

Easily the best health tracker I've used…
Guava is easy to use with Apple Watch for monitoring symptoms, vitals, and health management actions. I use it to help me manage POTS, reminding me to take meds, hydrate, etc. It can even generate insights into how changes in the weather affect my functioning. Love it!
This app is amazing
I love this app and how easy it is to navigate everything. I bought premium and it is definitely worth it, and it’s cheap!
Truly a wonderful app!
If you have a complex medical situation and love data, this app is for you. I love how well it integrates my many years of data and devices and now that I have a condition and have been testing different medications it has been endlessly useful to keep track of my symptoms, side effects etc. while there are still plenty of feature requests I’d like, you can tell they are building a very thoughtful product. Amazing work Guava team!

A tool unlike any other
Guava has been a wonderful tool for managing my chronic illness! I love their med-tracking feature; it’s very user friendly, and Guava will listen if there’s any suggestions you have to improve the features offered.
I love how much you get with the free version; it truly makes Premium a choice at the individual level.
And! The visit prep feature is one I use frequently; it helps me stay organized for appointments, and stay on track during appointments.
Thank you, Guava!!

Guava actually helps
I’ve been a fan and user of the Guava app for several months now, and let’s just say it’s been nothing short of a health detective for me. I’m a 48-year-old male who’s no stranger to health challenges. While I’ll keep the details to myself, believe me when I say they were serious.
Guava stepped in like a savvy sidekick, spotlighting a crucial health trend (177 BPM) that even I hadn’t pieced together. Thanks to what the app illuminated, I hobbled my way to urgent care who told me to go to the ER immediately where they addmitted me and I met with the chief of surgery and their team. Long story short, that was a game-changing decision. Kudos to Guava for giving me the nudge (okay, more like a push) right when it mattered most!
There are some details that I'd like to see added to the app but I'll communicate that with Guava directly. As soon as I start to feel a bit better.
The free version is awesome but the premium version is a magical.
