### 4/5 — No pre-selected options please!

*2026-07-29, version 2.9.0*

Well done except … no options should be pre-selected. That way if i don’t answer there’s no data logged. Now unfortunately information (like speed, color, etc) are logged as if I entered that data even though usually I skip those.

### 4/5 — Love app. Apple Health Integration?

*2026-05-22, version 2.9.0*

I love this app! Downloaded because I was told we have to go daily and I wasn’t aware how often I go. Started tracking and noticed how my body responded to different foods and stress. 

The only thing I wish this app did was integrate with Apple Health. I hope that feature comes in the future. Oh and if they can share info on what the different options mean (color, consistency, time) and when to see a doctor.

### 4/5 — One of a kind

*2026-04-13, version 2.9.0*

Simple and without little characters. Records the basic details.

What would make this even better is an apple watch app that just makes an entry (timestamp) that you can complete later on the phone/ipad.

### 4/5 — Please at calendar display options.

*2026-03-01, version 2.9.0*

My only complaint is it should be possible to choose how the calendar is displayed; week starting on Sunday or Monday. Other apps have this functionality and I really appreciate it. Population-wise across the wold it’s nearly a 50/50 split for whether it’s Sunday or Monday that starts the week, but when you look at countries it’s 160 countries where the week starts on Monday, versus only 67 where it starts on Sunday.

### 4/5 — Nice app for the health conscious

*2026-01-01, version 2.9.0*

I’m one of those health nuts tat tracks *everything*, so yes, that includes this!

i do really like the simple, clean, interface of the app and much prefer it to another one I’d used previously.

No hesitation to pay for lifetime right away, as I think it’s only right to encourage the developers

There is one thing which would make it perfect and get that extra star would be apple health sync.

### 4/5 — Well done … except

*2025-12-08, version 2.9.0*

No options should be pre-selected. That way if i don’t answer there’s no data logged. Now unfortunately speed, color, etc are logged as if I  entered that data even though usually I don’t.

### 4/5 — Best! BUT

*2025-12-06, version 2.9.0*

Definitely the best bm tracker with ease of use, ability to personalize notes and categories. Simple and intuitive to use. Has everything you need and nothing you don’t. You will be grateful for the labels!   How awesome to be able to create an individual label list for specific to your needs. But — Dang tiny fonts and grey text are hard to see. Why? so this app is as frustrating as it is helpful.

### 4/5 — suggestions

*2025-11-16, version 2.9.0*

helps me track my dookies with ease. but i would like to see that when i select an amount, the png also reflects the large brown i just made. 

ALSO,
you should add a ranked mode

### 3/5 — Fonts too small

*2025-11-05, version 2.9.0*

Please make them easier to read

### 5/5 — Very simple

*2025-10-03, version 2.9.0*

This app is useful, simple, and helpful

### 3/5 — please update

*2025-09-20, version 2.9.0*

I’ve used this app without issues for years.  I’m thinking it needs an update. It’s very glitchy now.  It hesitates on entries for a long time.  I try to open and close it, but still doesn’t work well.  it has been a great app. in the past

### 5/5 — Apple Watch App Please

*2025-08-25, version 2.9.0*

Very useful if you are monitoring gut health, digestion, fitness, body weight, and inflammation. For PCal creators: please consider an Apple Watch app because users might not have their phone with them in the restroom, which is where adding to the calendar is pretty relevant. The watch is always on my wrist during the day! Thank you so much for providing this useful app and a free version of it 🙏

### 2/5 — deleted all of my data

*2025-08-19, version 2.9.0*

had been using this app for at least a year, and today i opened it to see that all of my data is completely gone!

### 3/5 — Need more info

*2025-07-31, version 2.9.0*

Would love this app to include a map tracker.

### 4/5 — Good app. Needs dark mode.

*2025-07-28, version 2.9.0*

add dark mode. it’s 2025.

### 5/5 — So helpful to keep track

*2025-07-12, version 2.9.0*

Appreciate this app to make sure I stay on top of my health!

### 5/5 — Respect the Movement

*2025-06-19, version 2.9.0*

Young and old alike, you need to know what’s going in and out of your body. This app is solid, reliable and won’t run you a lot of money.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — It keeps crashing

*2026-07-27, version 2.9.0*

this will not let me log my data and is crashing me out the app

### 1/5 — Demoted to the lowest number of stars available

*2025-08-30, version 2.9.0*

** updating to say that after several rounds of freezing, the app closed on its own and deleted nearly 4 years worth of data.  Demoted to 1 star, particularly because I noticed another review stating the same thing.**
 Used to be great. Now it’s sluggish, takes up loads of data, and continuously freezes. appreciate that this app includes everything I want- easy tracking of time, type, photos, qualities, ability to see how features play out percentage-wise over time, and ability to create a pdf to share. After nearly 4 years of use, it has unfortunately suddenly become full of kinks. The app continuously freezes during use, and requires repeated rebooting. It also no longer syncs to the cloud, which means it takes up considerable storage data. Hopefully this will all be fixed with an update. For now, I’m looking for a replacement.

### 1/5 — No help

*2024-08-25, version 2.9.0*

Wish I could find a way to ask questions. Tried through feedback but never have had a reply. I have technical questions about correcting mistakes I’ve made on a previous day

### 1/5 — App crashed no support

*2024-06-11, version 2.8.1*

It used to be great, then it just stopped working and there is NO support. No way to get it updated or fixed. I am a subscriber and nothing works now.

### 1/5 — Lost All Data

*2023-12-30, version 2.8*

I have IBD and track all of my bowel movements. I finally decided to make an in app purchase so I could export all of my data. Two weeks later, all my data in the app is gone. Four years of bowel movements gone. awesome! Thanks for nothing

### 1/5 — Doesn't save

*2023-10-15, version 2.7.1*

I read review and downloaded app. I was happy with it and wrote my comments etc but forgot to save so everything went and second time again I was writing it and if phone gets locked screen or you move to another screen everything disappears. That's very frustrating. Please let notes etc save automatically.

### 1/5 — They don’t answer emails!

*2023-08-06, version 2.7.1*

Paid and started using app in March of 2023,have tried contacting the developer for help with deleting my original note and still haven’t gotten a reply! They haven’t even updated the app in 5 months! App is just ok! because you have to manually erase your notes, each time you enter a new one. I have sent 3 or 4 emails asking for help deleting old notes.

### 1/5 — Does exactly what I need

*2023-07-13, version 2.7.1*

Love this app! It’s perfect, no annoying ads, and has everything I need to track my BMs. Started a new med that causes constipation and needed a way to log how things were moving. This app lets me get in, log what I need, and get on with my day without any hassle. I’m considering upgrading to premium just so I don’t lose my data if something happens to my phone. Otherwise the free version is fine.

### 1/5 — No customer support

*2022-10-17, version 2.7.0*

I accepted the lifetime upgrade thru the app.  In the app the icloud sync is hung up and the app purchase has been pending for more than 24 hours. Premium doesn’t work.  I’ve emailed the developer twice and received no answer.  I also spent a significant amount of time with apple app support who can do nothing until the purchase is no longer pending.  The free app was working just fine until I tried to upgrade.  Buyer beware!

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-08-16, version 2.9.0*

Just started to try it out and so far very user friendly for a week or two. I will update after about a month or so.

### 5/5 — Outstanding app

*2026-08-11, version 2.9.0*

This app is very well designed, no bugs, easy to use, and exceedingly informative.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2026-08-08, version 2.9.0*

I have been using this app since late 2021 and it has been very helpful.

### 5/5 — Started as a joke

*2026-07-08, version 2.9.0*

Now I have to track religiously

### 5/5 — Easy / Free / Love

*2026-01-11, version 2.9.0*

Great free app. Very easy to use. Very useful. I have used it for years for free & finally got the lifetime subscription which allows analytics and exporting reports for physicians. Free version is great and all the features are available. You can upload photos & even customize your own settings for what you want to track - on the free version. I finally upgraded just for fun since the price is very fair. Thank you to PCal loll I appreciate you all - doing the lord’s work!

### 5/5 — Best Tracker Out There

*2025-12-30, version 2.9.0*

I have struggled with gut motility issues for a long time with the only reason I thought being my ED. However, I have been in recovery for a few years now, and I only go about once a week. In the beginning I was deeply concerned because I was experiencing a lot of blood and harsh constipation but I was going about 3-4 times a week. Then it started to go down to what is currently one time a week. I started using this app back in 2023, which has helped my doctors and I so much, especially with its data analysis features, the ability to see the time intervals, associate symptoms and ADD YOUR OWN!! If you struggle with any gut issues, PLEASE use this app, because it truly is an amazing resource. Thank you to the creators of this app. I will say that I have never used the photo feature out of fear of it somehow being shared but even without the photos, it’s still a very powerful tool. :)

### 5/5 — Best app

*2025-12-15, version 2.9.0*

Thanks for making a simple to use tracker.

### 5/5 — Great for post op tracking

*2025-11-18, version 2.9.0*

I’m a post op bariatric patient, and it’s very important to keep track of everything going in and coming out. This has been very helpful in identifying food intolerances, and also making sure there’s no obstructions.

### 5/5 — Best app for ease of use

*2025-10-31, version 2.9.0*

Perfect app to track tummy symptoms. Log events quickly and easily, see trends and export reports. Best of the similar apps I’ve tried.

### 5/5 — Very helpful app

*2025-10-09, version 2.9.0*

I use this app dairy to monitor my health.  Thank you for creating it!!
