A decent app but how it works ?!
I enjoyed using the application, it’s a good source of information for your health and symptoms. You can explore what’s going on in your body! But I can’t understand how it works? What are the main mechanisms behind it and how it analyzes my data.
Waste of money, gained nothing from this app
So what did the symptom assessment say?
“Sorry, I can't find any information about the symptoms you've told us. Please see a doctor.”
That was it. They weren’t crazy symptoms, pretty standard. So what exactly are people actually paying for?
Don’t bother. Just ask chatGPT

This app is sexist - AVOID
I input my symptoms, said I was assigned female at birth, it asked me a range of questions which felt relevant then I was asked if I have been tearful a lot lately. Got to the end, and it suggested *premenstrual syndrome*. I was incredibly insulted by this as I actually have a Vitamin B12 deficiency and my periods are normal, I was merely testing the app’s knowledge, I know what’s wrong with me.
I suspected if I was male it would give a different outcome. I ran another test, I input all my same symptoms, answered the questions the same, this time stated I was male. Surprise surprise it recommended I may have hyperthyroidism which is far more closely related to my symptoms and my existing condition, I also have hyperthyroidism running in the family.
Imagine going to a real life doctor with all your concerns and because you appear female they turn around and patronisingly suggest PMS. A waste of time and money. Do not bother.
You also cannot track your diet by means of a food diary, the custom trackers are extremely limited in what you can do with them. Absolutely not worth the subscription price.

Rubbish
I was disappointed when I opened the app thinking it was free. You have to pay or u can’t use the app. I’m sure the app itself is fine but don’t be fooled into thinking it’s free.
Disappointing
I found this app when searching online for a week-by-week fitness plan; a 12 week plan combining couch to 5k and some other podcasts (which I thought would be available through the app) caught my attention so I purchased the app. However, on opening the app I found it really hard to even find the article I’d seen online and, when I eventually did, none of the article links showing you how to do the exercises or download the podcasts work. Very frustrating! Turns out (after a lot of googling) that they have lifted the article text verbatim from another website and ALL of the plan podcasts/info is available for free through NHS choices!!
If you’re after an app that reminds you to exercise and asks you to note how you’re feeling that day, then I guess this works for that. I personally don’t think that’s worth £30 a year. But if you’ve come to it because of an article on the livehealthily.com website then I’d urge you to keep googling as it’s likely the info is available for free elsewhere.
