Isn’t working

I couldn’t even get past the sign up screen before it crashed

Crash

This app kept crashing when I was trying to set it up for the first time. So frustrating!

Useful, app needs to be fixed

If you go Home -> Symptoms -> Add Symptoms, the GUI works fine.

If you go Log -> Symptoms -> Add Symptoms, the GUI page that loads doesn’t work.

Overall, it’s a great tracker and helped me when meeting with my GI about my Colitis Symptoms. When the doctor would ask how many BMs I have on average, I can only guess because I don’t think about it much. Logging it here helped a lot.

Wish it would work

Most of the required fields are frozen so you can’t add anything. The food portion was really all I could add.

This frustrates me!

I REALLY want to love this app bc I feel it could be so helpful to those who have IBD like myself, HOWEVER, I'm getting frustrated bc aside from day one, I have been able to add my symptoms or any other important info except the foods I've eaten. When I try to click on the drop down boxes nothing happens!! Like I said, day 1 I was able too, but Everest after it hadn't worked. It's like it's frozen or something. Super annoyed bc I was excited to use this app. So as of right now I've been writing a narrative of my symptoms in the life style tab as it does let me do that. I don't even think that's what it's intended use is for, but it's the only way I can keep track right now. I'm only giving it 3 stars bc I love the idea, other than that it would give it 1 star!! Please FIX!!!
