Perfect App for Funky Guts

Have used this app for years, through I had bad IBS then GICovid.
Easy customization and export options—other apps should take note.
A responsive dev keeps it fresh — with no ads, nags, or sale of your app data.
Highly recommend.

Consistency

Although I have not mastered all of the capabilities of this App, I know enough about the basics to say with confidence that you get out what you put in.

Kind developer, good app, but requires $18 :(

EDIT: the developer has responded and appears to be a kind person. I did not expect a personal response let alone the kind words and honesty. I am updating my rating to 4/5 instead of 1/5.

I did not know the developer originally paid out of pocket. That is actually really cool of them.

My only complaint now is not being able to even put one custom tag or have the option to have a version that shows ads and maybe a couple of features. However, it is clear to me now that it likely is not that simple.

The app still is great. It really is. And the developer appears kind. Thoughtful.

I am leaving my original review below for context but I wanted to update the rating, title, and review itself since the developer responded in a kind, personal, no BS way.

——————————-
Original review before response and context given by the developer:

6 years ago, when i got diagnosed with Crohn’s disease on my 20th birthday, this is the app i was recommended.

It was so helpful. And EVERYTHING was free.

Now, 6 years later, you have to pay $18/yr to even place helpful description tags to track your patterns.

18$ isn’t insane, no. But to make an app that has not appeared even aesthetically to have changed in 6 YEARS and start charging CHRONICALLY ILL PEOPLE $18/YR JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN is GROSS. It is GREEDY.

Most of us suffer almost on a daily basis. Many of us cannot afford the specialized medications let alone health insurance. Many of us will have to have surgical intervention, potential removal of organs, and possibly permanent ostomies placed. A removal of your butt hole because it is not longer functional and more of a problem at that point. I know because i am an operational room nurse . I’ve seen these surgeries.

To ask sick people. To ask sick people who already suffer constantly who just want an easier way to track their body is so sick. I’m literally crying. I hate this world so much. I hate this greed.

Simple n efficient

I mostly use this to track my erratic bowels which are, well, erratic. There is no pattern. Disautonomia is my burden. When you have no control, tracking gives me a semblance of control. I’ve been using this app for a year or so & will continue using it & resubscribe.

Graphs

The app is good but the line graph is lacking. It only shows days with bowel movements and does not show days with no movements. This results in a straight line graph which is of no help
