Only app to track symptoms to find trigger

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.

It’s a good start!

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…

Response from developer

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

Horrendous interaction patterns

I’ve just started using this app and the UX is so poor I keep deleting actions and getting stuck in loops - please get a UX designer involved to fix this app, conceptually it’s good but it’s so difficult to adopt because of the clunky interface and bizarre non-standard interaction patterns. Also missing basic geographic features like time zones!

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you’ve had a frustrating experience getting started. We’d be grateful if you could contact us at support@mysymptoms.net with some specific examples of where you became stuck or accidentally deleted entries, as this would help us investigate and improve the experience. We’ve also noted your suggestion regarding timezone support. Kind regards, mySymptoms team.

Great Help

My symptoms has helped me narrow down my food allergies and sensitivities! Thank you!

Looking good so far

I have tried Cara Care and Bowelle, both of which are too simple to be useful to me. This looks promising. It already has a lot of ingredients, supplements and meds that I use and I can add my own. It remembers frequently used items so the app becomes quicker to use as time goes by. I’m looking forward to seeing its analytics, once I have entered a week’s data. Am on a 7-day free trial and no idea yet what a subscription is going to cost!

Useful and Helpful!

My doctor recommended this app and I think I really like it. I use it a lot and I love that it syncs with multiple devices.

Require requires a paid subscription

This app does not show that there are an app purchase options. However, you’re required to sign up for a monthly subscription.

User friendly!

Really easy to add items. Highly appreciative. Would love if it calorie counted as well. But thrilled overall

Tech dinosaur

This app is simple to set up and eases stress of recording meals.

Super helpful

I am chronically ill, and this app helps me so much! To be able to keep track of all my symptoms medication’s and figuring out what helps and hurts has been a game changer!

Very useful app

Well thought out

Only paid option available.

This app only operates long term on a paid subscription. No long term free option available.

Easy way to add Value to my Life

Excellent features takes awhile to find them, needs medication group feature to improve track the same 5 meds everyday

Username request broken

When creating a username, and the message states it's available then selecting the request. It clears the name and places a different one and it just loops over and over. The request button doesn't create a username. So the app doesn't work.

Excellent app

This app is awesome. It allows you to track everything about you from eating habits to sleep to exercise to symptoms. The best part is it is so concise so you can see everything on one screen without scrolling up and down. You can customize the categories and add notes. I wish I had found this app ages ago. I use it to track my diet and health issues.

Doctor Impressed

My GI doctor was impressed with this app, especially with the bowel scale used. Helpful for tracking although I think I will load into AI to create a summary and try to understand the data better. It does track hours after certain foods for symptoms.

So far so good

I am helping a family member adopt a therapeutic gluten/dairy free nutrition plan and this app has helped me tremendously

Nice app but needs work

I love this app but I wish I could leave feedback for the developers the email button doesn’t work in the app I have no way of contacting them.

It would be nice if you could view all the notes on one screen and be able to search them.

Couldn't get past the username selection

I tried picking several different anonymous usernames that the app said we're avaliable and then hitting "request" but if just kept returning suggestions for new usernames.i tried agreeing to the one they suggested and it still kept offering me new choices. Forget it. Deleted app.

Great App!

This app has been incredibly helpful. I figured out an allergy I would never have found without it. Also very useful for management of gastrointestinal issues. Easy to use and handles many inputs: diet, mood, supplements, medications, and symptoms. Highly recommend!
