Easy to use

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.

Great

Super adaptable and helpful

Great app

Excellent useability

Best app ever! Log everything! No annoying alarms!

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.

Not so ‘free’ when subscription is required.

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.

Very useful!

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

No need for a subscription

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

Love it!

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.

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…

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!

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!

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!
