User reviews

Need for partner

Paid for premium and my partner also had on his phone so he could check stuff for me but they’ve disabled access. Needs to be able to have more then one user especially with premium. Also discovery page is rubbish

Good but not great

The app is great overall, very helpful for tracking. Since having it for just over a month, it’s now started to get really slow and laggy. The app is up to date, could be because of all the data logged on it.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback, and we’re glad you’ve found IBS Pal helpful overall! We’ve identified the cause of the performance issues and have improvements on the way that should make the app noticeably faster and smoother. The fix is planned for this weekend’s update. Thanks for flagging this and helping us continue improving IBS Pal!

Don’t waste your money

Not worth it, Been using it consistently for 18 days and still no insights or triggers accurately identified. It asks for your tolerables but then when you add it to your journal it forgets this 90% of the time. The AI analysis is consistently not right. Then when scanning a meal and changing it gluten free bread it often forgets this entirely when you log it to a meal.

Helpful for product scans but that’s about it.

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear IBS Pal hasn't met your expectations. Some of the issues you mentioned, including tolerables not always being respected and edited meal scans not always saving correctly, were genuine bugs that have since been addressed. We're also continuously improving our AI insights and trigger detection. While AI is a rapidly evolving technology, it isn't perfect, and we're committed to refining its accuracy with every update. If you're willing to contact us at support@ibspal.com, we'd be happy to investigate your account further and help ensure you're getting the best possible experience.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your kind review! We're delighted to hear IBS Pal is making shopping easier and helping take the stress out of choosing what to buy. We really appreciate your support and hope the app continues to make managing your IBS a little easier every day. 💚

Waste of time

The onboarding asks a whole load of questions before hitting you with an unskippable payment screen. Waste of 10 minutes. There are other better apps for free

Response from developer

Hi, Thanks for your feedback. Just to clarify, our onboarding typically takes around 1-2 minutes and helps us personalise recommendations based on your symptoms, triggers and goals. We also offer a free trial, allowing users to try the app before committing to a subscription. For those who continue, plans start at less than the price of a coffee per month. The subscription helps cover the costs of AI, food data, servers and ongoing development, allowing us to maintain a high standard of accuracy and continue adding new features. Many free alternatives focus on just one aspect of IBS management. IBS Pal combines food analysis, symptom tracking, AI insights, meal logging, trigger tracking and more in a single app, helping users avoid needing multiple different apps to manage their IBS. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
