I'm newly diagnosed. I don't know yet what pains to pay attention to. This app helps me recognize things. And let's me add things. I looked at some other apps and they don't have the same features. The only thing I notice is that the alarm doesn't ring. I have to set my phone alarm to remind me of med time. Also there isn't an option to take a med twice per day but 12 hours apart. I wish it had that. Overall, I like it and use it everyday, while I'm figuring things out.

Loved it initially, but over time…

I really, really wanted to love this app. It’s brilliant for game-ifying the medication taking process—I found myself dragging myself out of bed to take my nightly dose if I forgot when I previously would have thought ā€œIt’s one dose, whateverā€ because I didn’t want to lose my streak. But the app is frustrating to use. First, like someone else mentioned, the weather tracking didn’t work for me. It worked the first day I enabled it, and never again, despite my troubleshooting. I LOVE charts, so this was tragic to not see reflected in the app but it’s fine, not a dealbreaker. The dealbreaker is how laggy everything became. Initially, it worked fine, but over time the calendar page became very slow. Sometimes I would take my medication but not log it in the app that day, so I would go back and do it the next day via the calendar page, except the app would take about 30 seconds to catch up and record me tapping the medicine taken button. Sometimes the pages would lock up and the only solution would be relaunching the app. Relaunching the app, closing every open app on my phone or even restarting my phone wouldn’t help any of this. I really, really wanted an app to remind me of medicine, track symptoms, and record appointments just like period trackers work, but this lag makes me actually dread using the app, so I’m going to be uninstalling. (On an iPhone 11Pro)

App is great, missing symptom duration function

I really like this app overall, it’s very simple and entering my symptoms is easy. Would love to see an update that allowed us to indicate a duration or time of day for symptoms. I may not have dizziness all day but I’m only logging the highest intensity of a particular symptom for the whole day. It would be great to have an addition where I log the symptom, can provide a duration (1, 2, 3 hours…), and even just something like AM or PM for onset time. I understand having too much granularity can be complex but helpful to track if I’m only spastic in the morning.

Simple and useful

This is a really easy way for me to track my symptoms. I’ve never really enjoyed other tracking apps, for other uses like mood or menstrual cycle tracking, but I really like the interface of this one. I like the reminders because it’s one per day at a reasonable time and the app doesn’t flood my notifications all day. Really simple and does the job :-)

Very helpful for tracking my symptoms

This app has been awesome with tracking my symptoms and the ability to add symptoms to my list as well.

The one request I have is to have the ability to add symptoms as they happen throughout the day versus just as a summary for the whole day. I ask because I wonder if a symptom is continuously triggered more in the afternoon or mornings, etc.

Example:
Headache - high - 11am
Headache - very high - 3p

Thank you for creating this! 😊
