### 5/5 — Helpful app

*2026-04-10, version 1.9.3*

I found this app very helpful for logging food (no calories) and any symptoms. Helpful filter function too. You can see the previous 7 days on the free version. £5.99 one off payment means you can see all entries from previous. Well worth it.

### 5/5 — Minimalistic tracking app

*2026-01-31, version 1.9.3*

Easy to enter data, and notifies you when it is time to log. Much faster than Chronomoter or myfitnesspal if you are only tracking foods and not macros. The autofill feature also saves a lot of time.

I hope the developer continues to update the app though.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-08-28, version 1.9.3*

I love this app and have been using it since 2019. It is simple as it is a list. In addition I love it as I can also track my medication. My only fault is that you must record brunch as either breakfast or lunch.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2025-07-17, version 1.9.3*

Lots of spelling errors, but good otherwise

### 5/5 — Great!

*2025-07-13, version 1.9.3*

So easy to use and export data! Perfect for being able to track your symptoms

### 5/5 — Simple but powerful

*2025-03-14, version 1.9.3*

Great UI. Learned how to use real quick. The only negative is lack to attach pics but I can see why. Serves all my needs

### 4/5 — Gute Übersicht, allerdings..

*2025-02-08*

Ich habe die App benutzt um mein Essen und meine Symptome zu protokollieren. Ich find die App sehr übersichtlich und leicht gestaltet und habe mir aus diesem Grund die Pro-Version gekauft um auch ältere Einträge ansehen zu können. 
Allerdings gibt es seit kurzem ein Fehler.. angeblich habe ich die Pro-Version nicht freigeschaltet und wenn ich diese freischalten möchte kommt ein Fehlerhinweis..
Falls dieser Fehler behoben wird und ich die Pro-Version wieder habe kann ich volle Sterne geben, da ich eigentlich sehr zufrieden mit der App bin.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2025-01-29, version 1.9.3*

It makes it so simple to track anything you want. I like that it doesn’t focus on calories and pulls old meals and recipes easily but also lets you easily add ingredients. This simplifies the whole process

### 3/5 — Trusting this app was a terrible mistake.

*2025-01-24, version 1.9.3*

I bought the full app, tracked every single thing I ate, every bowel movement and symptom I had, religiously for a month. Then it stopped working for me when I needed it most, and permanently locked me into the limited version.

I can honestly say I’ve never been more disappointed with a piece of software in my 40 years of life.

The first month after my surgery were the most important data to track. I trusted this app, and now I’ve lost precious information that I desperately need to access my help.

I happily paid $10 for this app. Now, I’d happily pay $1,000 to go back in time and stop myself from ever downloading it.

### 1/5 — Won’t let me purchase the paid version

*2025-01-23, version 1.9.3*

I’ve been faithfully login my food and symptoms here for weeks with the intention to eventually purchase the paid version and export the data but unfortunately when I went to purchase the paid version, I get a bug saying there is some kind of network error and it won’t let me purchase. This was a lot of time and energy wasted for me and there’s no way to even report the bug. I’m so disappointed. ):
