### 4/5 — Easy to use

*2026-08-12*

This app is so great to track how you feel. I was looking for something to track what I eat without worrying about calories and macros etc. It is super easy to use and you can track everything from food to mood and period etc. My only criticism is the lack of database for foods I eat. I wish it was connected to a bigger database so when you scan foods they are actually there. I would say 7/10 times I scan a food it’s not there. Especially since a lot of foods I’m eating are specialty gluten free or dairy items, however I would think a lot of the people using this app would be using the cleaner foods? It’s also a little annoying that when I scan something, add all the ingredients and save it, the next time I scan the food it doesn’t show up based on the barcode.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-02, version 6.2.6*

Super adaptable and helpful

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-28, version 6.2.6*

Excellent useability

### 5/5 — Best app ever! Log everything! No annoying alarms!

*2026-07-20, version 6.2.6*

I love this app. I use it for meds, vitamins, symptoms of all kind. I add if I  have a panic attack that is worse than usual. I add my nightmares. I love that you can add the intensity. My favorite thing is no annoying alarms. This is the one app that I HAVE to have when I get a new phone.

### 1/5 — Not so ‘free’ when subscription is required.

*2026-07-18, version 6.2.6*

won’t let you start a ‘free’ trial without setting up a subscription. Would much rather have a one-time purchase cost than recurring fee.

### 5/5 — Very useful!

*2026-07-08, version 6.2.6*

This app has been very useful tracking all the things. I would highly recommend. I have only used the free version.

### 1/5 — No need for a subscription

*2026-07-02, version 6.2.6*

This app should not be subscription based. Pay once and done. Subscription fatigue is very real

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-06-28, version 6.2.6*

I’ve been using this to track Crohn’s symptoms for years. Easy to use. Can generate a pdf for doctors or self tracking m. I always reference it for doctor’s appointments.

### 5/5 — Only app to track symptoms to find trigger

*2026-06-12, version 6.2.6*

The first time I used this app was several years ago.  My face would go beet red and I didn’t know the cause. This app told me it correlated with taking my B vitamin supplement. I then learned that what was happening was called a Niacin Flush. I’ve used the app on and off since then. It makes entering there data as easy as it could be. Yes, it is still hard to enter data. But it’s worth the effort.

### 4/5 — It’s a good start!

*2026-06-08*

This program is very useful for tracking health related habits. I’ve been using it for several years with some success. It could be that I don’t understand how to use it better, but I think one improvement I would like to see is a way to pare down for personal use the huge number of nearly identical food items.
It must be difficult for the program to analyze the food you’re eating when you think you’re adding the same one time after time, when it’s actually a copy, slightly different from a previous choice. Other than that, find it very handy other things, especially a record of symptoms or other habits…

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review. It helps us to know where things could be improved, and we’ll certainly take your feedback about the food items listings into account as we continue developing the app. Kind regards, mySymptoms Support Team
