Inutile
Cet app n’est pas bien configuré, les options sont si simples qu’il devient inutile.
Very helpful for tracking IBS
The perfect app for tracking IBS symptoms and mapping against food. I love being able to add times and template symptoms you can revisit, which makes tracking things much quicker. Will keep using!
Easy to use
Even the free version is easy to use and as customizable as I needed. Very helpful to keep track of my symptoms so I can work with my doctor better as I recover from diverticulitis
Thing you could add
I personally think you should add a feature to say what you need more of eg: fiber vetables.
Helpful
Helpful keeping track of moods, eating, and bowel movements.
Easy and helpful app
I downloaded the app to keep track of what I eat as it relates to my bowel movements and this app makes it easy to do just that! I love the notifications option to get reminders to update because I tend to forget.
Great App
This app is really helping me manage my ibs symptoms as a teen. It doesn’t try to give solution and gives you the perfect amount of options to track your symptoms with, even with the free version
Helpful for tracking stomach issues
Bowelle has been helpful for navigating SIBO and Leaky Gut and understanding food triggers
So customizable
Bowelle really lets you build your own tracker. I use it for a different stomach condition and it lets me build the data I need. I am also able to include other health data, such as heart rate variability, and three or four different ways of tracking the same thing (e.g., sleep, for which I have a number (hours), another number (quality), my personal tags to find patterns, free narrative for any detail).

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
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

Easy to actually use
I’ve been trying to comply with a tracking app for years. Finally something low fiction enough to use every day
Helpful
Helpful keeping track of moods, eating, and bowel movements.
Very GOOD App!!
I can’t believe I haven’t done a review on this app. It’s amazing. I’ve been using this app since 2023 to help me figure out my GI issues and it’s been real helpful to keep track of my journey and to look back historically. It’s easy to use and pretty straightforward. Will be getting the premium version.

Easy to use
Simple but well designed and easy to navigate. Also able to customize a few things on the free version.
Easy to use
I’m documenting symptoms for gastroenteritis and this makes it much easier! I especially appreciate how it syncs with other apps I already use for water intake, etc.
Bowelle has really helped me track my skin condition and it’s links to my diet
Having the notepad is really useful to capture thoughts or missed information
