beautifully done and so helpful
this app is so so well made and easy to use. it’s also genuinely helpful which is something i’m not used to with “recovery” apps. i recommend this app to anyone struggling as it’s FAR better than the sober app as it doesn’t just keep track of the time. it gives you tools, motivation, actual reminders and much more. it uses proper terminology and doesn’t sugar coat anything. if you are struggling, please download this. hoping that everyone who reads this has an effective and painless recovery, u r so loved 💛💛

RR changes lives!
I'm currently struggling and trying to recover from an eating disorder, and this app has been beneficial in helping me manage my urges and behaviors while also getting a lot of support. Since I'm linked with my nutritionist on this app, it's provided me a unique opportunity to get nearly real time feedback. RR has lots of available coping skills to offer, as well, if you're having a hard time. I highly recommend it to anyone who might be suffering from any sort of disordered eating or negative body image.

Rr
Rr is a good app because I can log my meals so I can see my improvement of bindge and when. I did I can see my emotions and that might tell me why I bindge like when I’m sad and I put it and my emotion so when I look back I can see certain times when my emotions have been bad and if I wanted to bindge or not

RR Subtle, yet Powerful
I have been using RR for a little over a month now, as part of my treatment for an ED. My health has been very challenging for me even as aware as I can sometimes be.
Yet, I have found RR subtly making a significant difference in the way that it interacts with my daily life in allowing me to bring awareness to thoughts, feeling, sensations, emotions environment, socializations, and to observe how the illness works.
It’s also very powerful to know that is being witnessed by a clinician and that there is a Feedback loop happening - so there’s a sense of connection and care.
And possibly most importantly of all for me, is that it is filled with positive affirmations, coping skills and provides a backdrop of how important self-care can be in changing the body politic. Since I’ve been engaging in it I’ve also adopted a lot more self care of my own in action in my daily life.
I find being accountable for what I’m experiencing IS shifting things for me in a very important way. :-)

FINALLY, A TRACKING APP THAT WORKS!
I am the worst at tracking my intake and this app makes it simple and quick to do, and even encourages you along the way. I’m so glad I found this! I love the option to take photos of your meals or snacks to help remember when looking back, as well as see your portion sizes. The questions it asks are specific to those with EDs and there is plenty of opportunity to explain feelings and thoughts about meals and behaviors. I love the encouraging messages and coping suggestions as well’ Wonderful app, 10/10 suggest for anyone with an eating disorder! :)

In recovery
This app helps me track my thoughts and feelings associated with my urges and behaviors. I got out of treatment a few months ago. I struggle to actively participate in my journey of recovery. Recovery record allows my dietitian to see my progress. It also helps me quickly log throughout the day to keep track of my progress. I definitely suggest this app for anyone who is needing help with disordered thoughts around food or if you have an eating disorder. I love that it also offers tips and affirmations. It’s easy to not pay attention to self-care. Recovery record makes me feel as if I’m at least trying to help myself throughout this process of recovery. DELETE MYFITNESSPAL AND DOWNLOAD THIS PLEASE!

Much more helpful than I had hoped!
I have been recovering from an eating disorder for a long time, and I didn’t think I would need this app when my therapist suggested it. Turns out I needed it more than I thought, because I was able to see the disordered patterns of my eating. It made me aware of the triggers and the warning signs. All this improvement has happened and it’s only been a week!! Also the logs don’t use numbers, it’s all qualitative data so I don’t feel the urge to play a game of calorie counting. Highly recommend to others experiencing frequent “eating disorder voice” thoughts

Gets the job done, some Ui improvements would make it 5 stars
I’ve been trying to find an app like this and have tried a few, and this one is the best one I have found. It’s straightforward and to the point. My challenge with it comes down to some of the interactions. The sliders are really frustrating to use, half the time I can’t slide or move it to the right spot. It’s also useless because the scale is binary anyway.
It’s certainly not a modern UI but the content is effective.

Essential for anyone healing their relationship with food
I have used this app for a few years now and off. I am recovering from an eating disorder so that is what I use it for. When I take courses like nutrition that want me to log food, I just tell my professor that I am recovering from an eating disorder and need to use my app to log food and they have been willing to accommodate and understanding that I can not be focused on nutrition labels. Basically, I opt for a social focus on food.
It encourages mindfulness and for me to tap into my feeling in the moment. The settings are personalizable which I like and it allows your dietitian to personalize them.
My only complaint is that the coping skills are repetitive. There really isn’t much variation in them. I wish they gave assignments you could do or something like that. Or a link to expand on “building a willingness to feel” with an explanation behind why and how it works (I didn’t dock a star because it’s just wishful thinking— you can do CBT, DBT, or ACT groups for those skills).
It would also be really cool if there was alternating places where it says “thought diary” for rather “list 3 reasons to recover”, “list 3 affirmations”, “list 3 passions not related to ED”, etc. The reminder that there is a person inside of me without my ED is so essential. Removing the ED creates a hole and the only way I have found to fill it is that self exploration.

Step one to recovery
I’ve been using R&R on and off for about 8 years now. I find it helpful to remind me to eat and be mindful of what I’m eating as well. I really like how it allows me to keep track without obsessing and how it constantly asks me how I’m feeling during eat log. I’m able to track progress and when I forget to log I don’t feel shame or like I’ve done something wrong. It’s a great app and I think it would be even better if you linked with a clinician. Nothing but positive things to say about this app as I’ve been in and out of recovery for 10 years I find this app is a great first step even if you just use it yourself.
