From a nursing standpoint
This is a commendable app that bridges the gap between clinical knowledge and empathetic care. The app's immersive experiences offer nurses a valuable tool to enhance their understanding of patients with stomas. It allows healthcare professionals to gain insights into the daily challenges faced by patients, fostering a more compassionate and patient-centered approach. The app's interactive nature could contribute to improved communication between nurses and patients, ultimately enhancing the quality of care provided.

Review for in my shoes
I do not have Crohn's desease or Colitis, but I can understand why is it important to use this app. By using the In my Shoe App made me more awere of wearing of having the conditions that have the need of taking frequent medication and wearing a stoma bag. However, for people who require to use the App I can say that it is a very useful app as it can stop the condition worse. I quiete like the app as it can monitor the percentage s of your pain, mood and energy. The app is also very informative for people who has Crohns and Colitis.

Great idea for family and friends with crohns
Nice but not enough
As a person with Colitis, I tried this app to see the accuracy so that I can recommend it to my friends.
I can’t even say that it’s a mild condition reflection, it’s not even mild, unfortunately. It has some useless notifications like the nurse call and deciding to attending the appointment or not. This can be a basic question to ask to someone, not a daily challenge. Or deciding to go out for getting painkiller.. we all always have them more than enough, I guess :)
I decided not to recommend it to anyone because my friends already know better than this app can offer and feel my condition much better by being on my side.

Hello???
Answered the questions- app told me to wait for my 1st task. 48 hrs later - NOTHING! Not one word. This is a great idea. PLEASE FIX IT!
Great but mild symptoms
This is a great app to give an indication as to how the disease impacts people!! I would say this covers someone who has mild symptoms with the disease basically under control. It represents how I am now. But when I’m flaring, it’s a completely different story!!
I think a normal person would find the scenarios difficult to contend with on a day to day basis, but it would be great if it said these are mild symptoms.
Also people with the disease self-inject, other medications, other issues like mobility/joint pain/infections and take antibiotics that exasperate the condition further... it’s just an awareness point.
The app as I say is a great idea and I will recommend it :)

Great Awareness!
Really good that they is finally a awareness for a condition I didn’t even know about, despite having it myself. However, it’s only a mild description of what someone might have because everyone is different. Also, why are people expected to take their phone with you everyday? I know the app only goes on for 24 hours, but still, some people might not want to be on their phone all day, especially at night because when it’s urgent, you don’t think about your phone.

Great!
What a great app! It really helps to raise awareness and understanding of the conditions. This way I feel I can support people I know with the conditions better - thank you for providing and developing this app!
Good but too generic
I think this is good but only represents someone with mild disease. There should be an option for the person with Crohn’s to set it to a level of mild, moderate, severe and then share with family and friends for a true simulation. For example most people have urgency for the toilet and then leave the toilet have to run back 5 mins later have to run back several times. They also have to spend significant amount of time in the toilet. It should also include options for stomas, injections, collect prescriptions, nausea, sweating, inability to walk or stand because of pain. There should be medication more than an iron tablet as unless very mild disease most people are on more medication. Skin conditions, mouth sores, rectal pain could also be added. In my opinion if I were to share this with friends and family it would simulate a very easy day and would not be representative of the impact of my disease :(

Annoying!!!
I don’t know who thought this up but I just hope a lot of money wasn’t wasted in creating it! How someone can empathise with a sufferer by installing this app is a mystery, I think most people will just be annoyed by 24hrs of annoying notifications. What’s the point?
Wow!
I have Ulcerative Colitis. When I discovered this app I wanted to see how accurate it may be. So I tried it. I cannot believe how accurate it was. I was getting notifications but also feeling the exact same thing! (I am currently going through a flare). I am so happy that something like this has come out. It’s not only raising awareness but making me people understand how hard it can be to live with something like this! Hopefully, if more people try this, I will be able to walk into a disabled toilets without feeling judged and embarrassed. People will be able to sort of understand how draining it can be both physically and mentally. Thank you for such an amazing app. It’s helping us one step at a time!

Brilliant
I currently suffer with IBD, Colitis to be exact. This app is really something else. So proud of the creators and anyone who is willing to try this out. I often get discriminated and laughed at because of my sudden urges and I feel like this is really a game changer to anyone who is willing to participate. But at the end of the day as the app states, they are able to just turn it off and go back to normal life. This is a day to day struggle for many of us and I respect every single one of you who doesn’t let IBD rule your life’s. Thank you for this great app and I’ll certainly be sharing it to help people further understand these issues.

Brilliant App
One of my closest friends has Crohns and when I saw this app, I instantly downloaded it to try and understand what he has to deal with on a daily basis. To say it broke me down is an understatement. This seriously opened my eyes to a lot of things and I will admit to getting upset during the day. Everyone really needs to be forced to use this so that they can get a better understanding of these hidden illnesses. The only comment I would make would be to have persistent alarms during the night as an option, I slept through the notifications plus I think persistent alarms would be more hard hitting for people who really don’t get it.

Does this app actually DO anything?
I added this app today, turned on all my notifications and sounds, set a start time, and it didn't do ONE SINGLE THING all day.
Not one notification.
I can't even give this one star, but, as the mom of a daughter with severe Crohn's who almost died and needed a life saving colectomy, I hope you get it fixed because it would help others understand what people with IBD go through.
This is a great idea - please get it fixed!
