A Little Clunky but Very Useful e: Great Support

It’s a bit clunky, but I’m finding it incredibly useful for tracking output and appliance changes and use it multiple times per day since my surgery. Here are a number of suggestions to make it more useful: Allow ordering of Supplies category. Using a 2-piece, I prefer not to have pouches at the top and wafers at the bottom. Allow for searches. Allow copying of supplies. Add link metadata field for supplies. It would great if one could enter the part number and lookup the rest of the information but I know this is a big ask. Allow supplies to be archived, but not deleted (and unarchived). Allow adding of supplies from within the usage screen. Sometimes I want to try a sample but have forgotten to add it as a supply item. Provide the ability to export information. To is would be very helpful for dr. visits. Usage Output Supplies Allow exporting of pictures. Do not require Face ID for each entry - change to maybe once every 15 minutes. Fix the bug that has text overlapping in the settings. If I see user input being considered I’ll gladly donate. Just found a major bug - if you use the last of a supply item, it no longer shows on any of the prior usages. The supply must always be greater than one for it to display. Update: I reached out to the developer through the app and their response has been terrific. They considered my comments and are implementing no several of them.

Helpful App

Very handy for keeping track of my skin care and Ostomy supply inventory.

I would like to suggest an update for the Order section. Why not have your entire list of supplies there to bulk-add rather than doing it 1 by 1.

Horrible

Your required to put a output amount I seen no option to just log my bag changes

Response from developer

Hi, can you please reach out to us via the support email form on the website or in the app so we can help. There is no requirement to enter an output if you only want to track your bag changes (supply usage). Please ensure you have entered your supplies and then you can select "New Usage" to track your bag changes.
