It would be nice to have an area to write in other symptoms, and experiences with treatments, like bad taste in mouth from Paxlovid. Profuse sweating isn’t even an option to check and I had lot of that, even with out fever. It’s so bad I can only sleep in 2 hr increments, so it would be nice to track that. Brain fog is another one. Plugged ears is another one. Sinus pressure is another one. ### 3/5 — Wont accept entries on some items *2023-03-28, version 1.23.42* I live in Australia it wont accept my post code as a valid zipcode If this hapoens your only option is to cancel ### 2/5 — Can’t add symptoms *2023-01-12, version 1.23.42* Doesn’t cover a Lo of symptoms that are common. ### 2/5 — Limited choices *2023-01-03, version 1.23.42* I personally think this app is a wonderful and simple way to collect data. The one issue I have is you cannot go back to add symptoms (1 or 2day). It’s also limited as far as prior health conditions. There should be an “other” or “neuro” choice. I have neurological disorder and have already had covid before. I current have long term covid symptoms due to already having both conditions on my background now. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t Seem to Collect Data *2022-08-30, version 1.23.42* Every time I add data and then go to the home page and click on last report created it says I don’t have one. ### 3/5 — Report doesn’t work *2022-08-29, version 1.23.42* The create report works but when you view it nothing comes up. Also should have congestion as an option ### 2/5 — Can’t change settings *2022-07-17, version 1.23.42* The app won’t let me enter a temp in Celsius and I don’t want to convert it to Farenheit each time. It also doesn’t accept NZ post codes. ### 4/5 — AEw *2022-06-04, version 1.23.42* A way a a as ### 4/5 — Oxygen saturation *2022-04-07, version 1.23.42* App doesn’t allow sat levels below 93 and it should. You are missing critical info. ### 4/5 — Almost great *2022-03-23, version 1.23.42* Good. Easy to use. But reports are not generating. And when trying to export it says files corrupt. Please fix this. ### 3/5 — Limited *2022-03-19, version 1.23.42* Wish it had more options for symptoms or a way for users to add uncommon symptoms that they want to keep track of. ### 2/5 — Can’t enter U.S. Zip code *2022-01-22, version 1.23.42* I hope this Zip Code issue will be fixed? Also, another reviewer suggested adding a field to allow the user to enter a note or more details re: symptoms; that would have made it more useful for me to track the progress of my symptoms. ### 4/5 — Easy to use, but needs improvement *2022-01-18, version 1.23.42* Overall, I was glad to find a free app to help track symptoms. I appreciate how easy the app is to use, but it’s minimalistic style needs some improvement. When I enter values for gender and smoker, they do not get saved. I’ve entered many times and continue to be asked to “enter value”. Also, oxymeter reading doesn’t always save on the first try. Suggestions: Checkboxes for runny nose, nausea, dizziness and brain fog should be added to symptoms. Even an ability to add any unusual symptoms would be helpful. Instead of LOSS of smell and taste, how about CHANGES to smell and taste, with an optional description box to write in? In my case, I didn’t lose taste, but developed a metallic taste. There is not an “Other” option on the past health conditions page for people who have chronic illnesses not listed with a text box to enter that illness. ### 4/5 — Add an option for no conditions/ vaccine status *2022-01-11, version 1.23.42* Running nose/congestion is not an option on the symptoms list. Unable to add that I don’t have any health conditions. Should probably also add the ability for vaccine status. ### 2/5 — Need more symptoms in list *2022-01-08, version 1.23.42* I have other symptoms not listed, but there is no where to type in other symptoms. Either add more to the list or give the option to type in other symptoms. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2024-09-26, version 1.23.42* Super glitchy and can’t add tests. ### 1/5 — Postcode *2023-03-13, version 1.23.42* Will not acceptmy UK postcode ### 1/5 — Realized after tracking for days that it’s useless *2022-06-09, version 1.23.42* I wanted to track my Covid symptoms for obvious reasons. I was a little dismayed to see that common symptoms such as congestion are not an option to track-but the real kicker came in on day 5 when I tried to look at the report again (which doesn’t open in the app-I thought maybe it just needed time to gather data at first). I opened it in acrobat only to get a message that the file is corrupted. So I’ve tracked my symptoms (at least the ones I could) for the past 5 days and don’t have anything to show for it. What a waste of time. ### 1/5 — This app will not accept my UK postcode *2022-02-18, version 1.23.42* I’m unable to use the app because it says my UK postcode is invalid ### 1/5 — Mandatory sign up for tracking *2021-03-17, version 1.23.42* Why force people to sign up? ### 1/5 — Pretty Useless *2020-12-04, version 1.23.42* Would be better if you could go in and add days of symptoms prior to finding the app. ### 1/5 — No way to retroactively add data *2020-10-01, version 1.23.42* 9 days into Covid when downloaded, no way to retroactively add symptoms or data. Now that I’m practically recovered, what good is it? ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2020-08-12, version 1.22.41* Could not input requested information. Some text oversized - did not fit on phone screen. ### 2/5 — Naphesa *2026-06-14, version 1.23.42* Sore throat ### 2/5 — Not functioning *2023-09-28, version 1.23.42* This app doesn’t work properly. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Long Covid *2025-01-27, version 1.23.42* I love this is here but I wish there was a way for us to get help. ### 5/5 — S. Christopher *2024-09-15, version 1.23.42* This is a quick check to remember how you are feeling, with dates and times recorded. ### 5/5 — Post code. *2023-12-24, version 1.23.42* I really can’t give a proper review when I can’t even enter my post code, which according to you “ does not exist”. It’s such a simple thing, yet you can’t even get that right. ### 5/5 — Covid 19 *2023-07-26, version 1.23.42* It is helping my mum from coronavirus so ### 5/5 — Precious *2023-01-07, version 1.23.42* Prayers juice ### 5/5 — Glory be *2022-08-19, version 1.23.42* I’ve been participating for a long time but the app this week was unresponsive so I’ve signed up again afresh ### 5/5 — You are so wonderful to give your time *2022-02-27, version 1.23.42* Hello, your app helped me feel safe during my Covid experience The IBS was the worse and the muscle cramps It was like torture But today (day 5) I am beginning to see light ### 5/5 — Summary of History Availability *2021-07-28, version 1.23.42* It would be nice if we were able to access a summary of our data so we could use it to track and share our lingering issues with our medical team. ### 5/5 — Insane *2021-05-06, version 1.23.42* Insane ### 5/5 — Cheryl *2021-04-08, version 1.23.42* Great app. Makes documenting easy --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
