### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2026-02-26*

What a great app for patching! Can’t wait until there’s manual entry!

**Developer response:** There is now :-) The Update was approved last week.

### 5/5 — Must have for patching parents!

*2026-02-26*

As a mom to a daughter born with a unilateral cataract, patching has been a huge part of our daily life. This app has truly been a game changer for us. Tracking patch time used to feel overwhelming and stressful, but this makes it simple, organized, and so much less emotional.

It helps us stay consistent and keeps all of our timing information in one place, which makes it so much easier to share accurate updates with our doctor. That alone has given me so much peace of mind.

It’s clear this was created by someone who understands what patching families go through. I am beyond grateful to have a tool that supports us in something so important for my daughter’s vision. I only wish we had this sooner. Thank you for creating something that makes this journey feel a little lighter.

**Developer response:** Thank you Lindsey!

### 5/5 — Great app for patching kids!

*2026-02-24*

Solid app I will definitely be using for patching with my kid! I love that you can’t your daily goal and it counts down. Definitely check it out if your kid has to patch.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much.
