Interesting, Maybe
I was referred to this by someone with similar symptoms. It's a bit clunky to use -- not the most intuitive interface. It also records PEM, long crashes (days to weeks), and daily energy plummets strangely. I haven't quite figured out to record these properly, especially when there are multiple episodes simultaneously of multiple types. And the first week's predictions are simply awful. I've been in a 3 week crash layered with PEM episodes and daily energy crashes, so that's my baseline with the app -- which says that my metrics show no indication of risk of PEM while I'm up to my eyeballs with it. I'll trial it a bit longer, but I'm skeptical atm.

This may be helpful
Finally may have found an app that will help me.
A steep learning curve and must get into the habit of daily journaling but that’s for my benefit.
Lots of support & assistance

Great app
This app is great for tracking and predicting crashes/PEM/fatigue. It takes data from your wearable and predicts how your days will be and whether to take things easy. After the initial input for the first 5 or 6 days after joining, it judges how you will be after you’ve passed your baselines. It’s been majorly accurate - even the past couple of weeks I haven’t entered my personal daily data, it’s still been accurate just connecting to my Apple Watch and tells me when I need to take it easy. Great app.

Very helpful
I ran this in parallel with another pacing app requiring me to wear a separate device from my watch. What I needed from an app was a day-to-day information on my HRV with some guidance on how to run my day. Since using FatigueSense, it has allowed me to pace myself without constant conversations about whether I would ‘pay’ later. I have found this very helpful and if you are on the fence, give it a go and see how it fits into your day.

Promising
I don’t ever write reviews. This is not promoted or anything… just wanted to say that I am liking that this seems to track pretty accurately how I am feeling and a place I can bring it all together while it paces me. It’s meaningful data, now to get someone to listen.
Interesting
It’s tracking both on my iPad and iPhone just from having my tracker paired on my iPhone! Shows pacing alerts on my Apple Watch, too. Very useful for pacing!
Assessments on point and helpful
I have been using this app for about a month with my Apple Watch. I love it. It is still somewhat early in development, which explains the tweaks others mention. I am here for all of it. I find the insights and recommendations to be accurate. If I ignore a recommendation to take it easy - wham, 20 minutes later, the crash hits 😅 I know some users think the dashboard is slightly convoluted, but I love being able to switch between the simple view and the full view, with full view being my preference. I find it immensely helpful being able to click on Data, HRV for instance, and then see the graph, my average, maximum and minimum. Seeing the data being collected (and being able to review trends) gives me confidence in the app’s insights and recommendations. Other apps I’ve used in the past are so simple with such opaque scores and not enough options for data input that they are vague, unhelpful, and inaccurate. Not Fatigue Sense. Grateful for this tool.

Phenomenal app!
This app has saved me from so many health declines! This is such a great app with a great team. THANK YOU!
Perhaps Add Activity Log and Post day end of day Review ?
I love this app! I just think perhaps adding a way to log activity so you can see exactly how long it’s been since the triggering activity, as well as adding a way to do your end of day logs after 12 am. I have a weird schedule due to my husband working night shift and I constantly miss logging the end of day report due to this.

Migraine and weather changes need to be included
Weather impacts my fatigue significantly. If there’s a way for that data to get pulled into the app, that would be amazing. That includes weather changes in the day and barometer changes. Migraine is also linked to this as well.
Love being able to track my chronic illness
I love how it lets you add a start of the day and suggests pacing point and lets you adjust if you have more or lower energy
The best!
I have Visible and Welltory but hands down this is the best one. It’s free at the moment but I’d be happy to pay for it. I can write down what I plan to do in a day and it tells me if it’s possible that day. I’m so glad I downloaded this. I’m confident getting rid of the others as this does what I need.

It’s an open beta
This should be stated as an open beta, in reality that’s what it is. Otherwise I’d give it 3 stars.
Very helpful
I've tried several different apps to managing my energy consumption and daily activities that are impacting PEM and sudden crashes. Fatigue Sense gives real time data and helps you to visually see where you are in your day. The reason for taking a star away, there is a lot of daily entry requirements and sometimes I'm too tired or I forget. I understand this is going to be updated to make things easier on the users end within a few weeks. Overall, excellent data and the most helpful in planning your energy expenditure for the day.

Excellent, informative and helpful
The team is committed to the community. They update and evolve the app based on community feedback. I'm getting better input on when to slow down
Potential is there
The potential is there but it doesn’t sync well. I use a Suunto but it won’t sync with my data.
I’ve reached out to the developer, no response, all I get is the data from my Apple Health App.
Wish it was better.

best free app for pacing!
the app seems new and is actively being updated but considering its free provides a really detailed analysis of the data it tracks that even after only 2 weeks has been really helpful for pacing and noting potential triggers and patterns! excited for it’s continued development
Helpful for Pacing
This app has been very useful in being mindful of my energy levels and limits. The recent updates have improved the function of the app immensely. It would be nice to be able to put multiple of the same event on my smart day plan, so that, for example, I can track driving to and from an appointment as two separate events with distinct start/stop times so it shows up correctly on my exertion graph. It would also be nice to be able to choose if an activity you list on your plan is saved as a preset for later, instead of automatically saving all of them, which makes the list of default activities very cluttered and hard to navigate easily.

Very Promising (And a Bit Confusing)
I've only been using FatigueSense for a week or two now, but I really appreciate all of the data and information it provides. However, I struggle to navigate/understand the app interface. I have no idea where to go to find certain information and it is all very overwhelming (especially when dealing with brain fog!) I find that it has been more helpful than my Visible band. It definitely needs a more simple interface but I believe it is very promising! Thank you for making this app!

Useful
This app was built and is constantly being updated by researchers. They are trying to do what no other app has done well which is help chronically ill folks manage pacing to avoid crashes. The data from the app will help research in the field, and the research will inform the app. I’ve found it helpful so far, much more useful than Garmin’s body battery which isn’t that useful for me.
