Great concept, but buggy
I love the Explain Pain book and purchased this app to help me apply what I learned in the book. The app is beautiful and would have been great, except for one major issue: DIMs and SIMs that I added seemingly randomly disappeared. I have noticed it after having added quite a few SIMs under a specific category (like “People in your life”) and then coming back to find that half of them are no longer there, almost as if the more recently added SIMs overwrote the one added earlier (getting me in trouble with my wife, not seeing herself on the list, even though I know I added her...).
I cannot find any place in the app for contacting support, which is why I provide the details here - hopefully the app is supported and still maintained...
For now I will use a Word document or spread sheet for listing my DIMs and SIMs and use the app for the challenges only.Show lessLars007
Poor execution
Seems like a useful tool, but very poor execution. Not intuitive to use + poor instructions, crashes every 1-2 minutes during use, screen randomly rotates so that keyboard hides where you are typing, "buttons" glitchy. It stresses me out to use this and I'm irritated that I spent $10 on an app that is almost unusable.Show lessche_A
Superb tool
I'm a big fan of Lorimer Moseley's work and this app is a must for any chronic pain sufferer. Simple to use, and an invaluable aid to understanding the triggers that shape your experience. Watch his TED talk if you wish to get a flavour of his work. Helped me enormously.Giorosler
Fabulous
After working with the principles of the protectometer for some time now, I was thrilled when this app came out. And I am not disappointed. This is such a great tool for bringing awareness to pain conditions which might otherwise appear mysterious and out of control.
The whole concept of DIMS and SIMS is so helpful in seeing that there are things we can do every day to boost wellbeing and reduce pain.
A big thank you to the NOI team for their incredible work and for making their pain management tools so accessible to people like me (and you!)Show lessinvisible map
