It is so easy to log my symptoms and I absolutely love the urgent restroom card! 😍 ### 5/5 — Better tracker *2026-07-19* Flare care has really helped me stay on track with my ulcerative colitis symptoms, medications and overall health. I love that this app has everything you need like an emergency IBD kit. Also it has a section where you can find a GI doctor near you, which I love especially if I’m traveling and need someone quick. Overall, a really great and useful app that keeps me on top of my GI health 😊 ### 5/5 — Helps me manage IBD symptoms day-to-day *2026-07-19, version 2.3.0* This app is just what I’ve been looking for! Perfect for tracking day-to-day symptoms, bowel movements, nutrition, etc. The AI component is also super helpful in navigating what foods to avoid and that kind of thing. Highly recommend to anyone with IBD who struggles to keep up with a physical food/symptom diary, this app is so much more convenient when you’re on the go. Also sends you personalised notifications every day! ### 5/5 — Great App! *2026-07-18, version 2.3.0* This app has been so helpful managing my symptoms.

I love it. ### 3/5 — I like this app but there’s a bug *2026-06-25, version 2.1.0* I like this app it’s very helpful with managing my GERD but there’s a bug where you can’t edit the time of your logs because sometimes I forget and can’t go back and put the time ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-06-15, version 2.0.12* This has been so helpful since being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. I’m able to easily track symptoms and easily export my entries to bring to doctors appointments too! ### 5/5 — Such a game changer! *2026-06-06, version 2.0.12* I’ve struggled with stomach issues for years and this app makes managing my IBS so much easier. I don’t even need to think about what I’m eating I can just take a pic of my food and FlareCare does the rest! 10/10 recommend ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Privacy concern *2026-08-15, version 2.5.0* Unable to log food without giving access to the camera ### 1/5 — My doctor told me not to use this app *2026-07-17, version 2.3.0* I shared this app with my doctor and they advised me not to use this particular app ### 1/5 — A free app you have to pay for *2026-07-12* This app looked great. I heard good things about it and thought I’d give it a try. I was very impressed with the setup and it taking you through everything step by step to make sure you understand how to use the app to its fullest! I made a login and it asked if I wanted to upgrade from so much a month/year and I thought “you know if this app is as good as I think it is I wouldn’t mind paying a subscription for it” but I always try the free version first to see if it’s worth it it. So, I declined and moved on to the next page…which was a 1 time 50% off for however long. I click no I didn’t want to do that at this time… IT TAKES ME BACK TO THE PREVIOUS SCREEN ASKING IF I WANTED THE PAID SUBSCRIPTION….i roll my eyes and hit no… IT TAKES ME BACK TO THE DISCOUNT SCREEN!!! And it went back and forth til I deleted this app **Developer response:** Hey, sorry for the frustration! FlareCare doesn't have a free version, but every account gets a free trial before any charge. Happy to help if you want to give it another shot, just email us at support@flarecare.io. ### 1/5 — Meh *2026-07-12, version 2.3.0* You can’t get past the initial start up screens. You get blank pages with no input or no options to move to the next screen. Needs work. ### 1/5 — Subscription only *2026-07-09, version 2.3.0* Can’t get into the app without going on a subscription and by that stage it already has your data. Just loops around two screens. One signing you up for $0 with a yearly or monthly sub. And another that offers you 50% off. You cant leave those screens and enter the app without signing up to something. ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-07-01, version 2.1.0* Not free , it’s trying to trap you into paying after 3 days. ### 1/5 — App won’t open *2026-06-28, version 2.1.0* App gets stuck on loading screen. The new update supposedly fixed this, but it didn’t. Even after re-downloading, it’s stuck. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t even work *2026-06-04, version 2.0.12* app won’t even load no matter what I do ### 1/5 — Everything is behind a paywall *2026-06-04, version 2.0.12* Why have this app as free if you have to pay and put in card information before you can even use it. It’s completely pointless ### 1/5 — So many bugs *2026-03-04* I’m confused how this app has so many positive reviews. Nothing works! Try to add a picture of your food for AI analysis? Inaccurate and sometimes weird suggestions. Try to scan a barcode? Works on roughly half the items I tried but when it does find the item there’s no button to add or submit the item. Try to change the time on a food item you’re manually entering? There’s a very specific order you need to do things or else the keyboard won’t go away and you can’t submit. The BM tracking is fine, I like that you can add a color automatically. But if what you’re paying for is AI analysis of symptoms, this ain’t it. **Developer response:** Hi kaylaszen, we're really sorry about your experience — that feedback is completely valid and honestly hard to read, but we needed to hear it. The barcode issue, the keyboard bug, the AI suggestions — you're right, those weren't good enough. We just pushed a big update that addresses a lot of these issues and improves the overall experience significantly. We'd love for you to give us another shot — we think you'll notice a real difference. And if anything's still off, reach out at support@flarecare.io and we'll take care of it personally. Thanks for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback, it genuinely helps us improve. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — BEST app for UC and Crohn’s! *2026-09-09* Coming from someone who has lived with UC for 5 years, I have tried many apps and have been to many GI appts without feeling like I’m properly explaining my symptoms. Because this app tracks literally everything there has to do with UC, I can go to my appts with the doctor report already formulated on the app based on all of my symptoms. Even my doctor asked me what this app is so she can recommend it to her other patients!!! This app is super easy to use as well! ### 5/5 — This is it! *2026-08-20* This app puts it all together and a great tool for folks dealing with gut problems. Excellent for tracking symptoms, meds, and potential triggers like food or stress. Brings all that data in one spot then leverages AI for insights all within this one app. The support team is top notch and even added a requested importing feature to make it easy to switch if you’ve historically used another tracking app. ### 5/5 — Really helpful while learning triggers *2026-08-18* I’m still relatively new to navigating life with UC, and one of the hardest parts has been figuring out what actually affects my symptoms. FlareCare makes it easy to keep my meals, symptoms, and how I’m feeling all in one place instead of trying to remember everything after the fact. Being able to look back and start recognizing patterns has been especially helpful. The app is simple to use and has given me a much better way to understand what may or may not be working for me. ### 5/5 — Crohn’s disease warrior here! *2026-08-07* I wasn’t sure about this app at first because I’ve been through so many that are still missing certain things that I need to track with my disease. And finally getting a free trail just to see how helpful it truly is I ended up subscribing and using it to this very day. I absolutely love how many things it allows you to track with your disease it makes it very helpful communicating with my doctors and moving with the next health plan as well as being able to track every lab results , Bowel movement, food and a lot more important things with this app. **Developer response:** Thank you so much, Rheanna! Really glad it's helping you track everything you need and making those doctor conversations easier — that's exactly what we built it for. Appreciate you sticking with it and taking the time to write this. 💚 ### 5/5 — Get this app if you have UC or Crohn’s disease !! *2026-08-04, version 2.4.0* i love being able to log my symptoms and have everything all in the app. ### 5/5 — Game changer!!! *2026-07-28* It took them a year to diagnose me with Crohn’s disease so I try to advocate for the people who are going through similar situations. I wish I would have known about this app sooner. I have tried the food diary and I just had trouble keeping track of everything. This app makes it so easy to log what my body is going through on a daily basis. I love the feature where you can snap a picture of your food and it can show you possible triggers of what you are eating. It also makes it so easy to log all of my symptoms and I like to log things as my body is going through them even if I don’t feel well it is so easy to do! Love the app will be recommending! **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing that, and for advocating for others going through the same fight — that means a lot. So glad the app makes logging easy even on the tough days, that's exactly the point. Thanks for recommending us! 💚 ### 5/5 — Get this app!! *2026-07-26, version 2.3.0* This app has so many things that helped me track my symptoms with Crohn’s disease! No more trying to remember to write it down! ### 5/5 — makes managing easier! *2026-07-26, version 2.3.0* amazing app! so helpful ### 5/5 — Helpful for Staying Organized *2026-07-24* As someone living with Crohn’s disease, I appreciate having an easy way to keep track of my symptoms, medications, and flare-ups. The app is simple to use and helps me stay organized between appointments. It’s a helpful tool for anyone managing a chronic digestive condition. **Developer response:** Thank you! Glad it's made tracking effortless — no more relying on memory is exactly the goal. 💚 ### 5/5 — Low effort, big insights, faster relief *2026-07-24* I don’t think I’ve ever been compelled to leave a review before, but the fact that this app has helped reduce the severity of a 5 week flare is crazy!!! 1. Log your BMs 2. Snapshot your food 3. Get tailored recommendations Still gathering enough data for more insights, but I love everything about it so far!! Can’t recommend enough **Developer response:** Thank you, this genuinely means a lot! So glad the logging → recommendations loop is already helping shorten that flare. Excited for you as you build up more data. 💚 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
