Good, not great
It is a lightweight, basic, functional app. It lacks features. It doesn’t sync/export to Apple Health (where there is a diarrhea / constipation tracker) to take advantage of its features such as graphing.

Excellent App, Quick to Fix Bugs
User of 6 years. Grateful for the objective look at bowel health over the years that this provides. It is simple, straightforward, and gives all the info you need for tracking bowel habits. Export to CSV/XML allows graphing of your data if you want to see it. Adding an extra tier that would export data to Apple Health and/or graph it in the app itself would be a reasonable feature to consider for the less technical.
The price is fair for having a dedicated app: buy once, use it for life. It’s well worth the price to remove ad wait time once you’ve been using it for a while. And well worth it just for keeping bowel tracking photos separate from the rest of my life - even a hidden folder in the Photos app is asking for awkwardness, as there are too many opportunities to appear in places I don’t want them over the years (backups, imports to other devices, etc.). The peace of mind and organization is well worth it. And the app is still actively developed for bugs and new iOS updates. I appreciate that they haven’t tried switching to a ridiculous subscription model like so many other apps that don’t take substantial developer time on an ongoing basis. It’s fair, and it does the job.
Prior Review:
Long time user getting camera errors under iOS 18. Hope this is fixed soon. Been a great health app for tracking the not so glamorous but very important area of colon health. Definitely will update to 5 stars once this bug is fixed.

Works Well, But Let’s Help The Docs By Using ChatGPT
I am very happy with the straightforwardness of this application.
But… I would like to request that when it’s time for creating an export, it would be very useful if one could also opt to export both the poo scale diagram as well as a key associated with each numbered diagram image, e.g, 1: Small hard lumps (constipation).
While I’m sitting on the toilet, with a little else to do but dictate, I refer to mixed movements and other joys by number, and send in that info on my own.
After I export the report as a PDF, I now import it into my ChatGPT account and ask for it to create a summary.
It does a good job on this, given the highly detailed daily reports, and allows me to. That correct misinterpretations on the part of the app.
You can ask ChatGPT to identify general trends and refer to specific by date and time.
If the developers would come up with a number of ChatGPT or other AI’s to ask for specific kinds of summary sections that would be *lovely.*
Also, nice would be for the report -and especially since when one can send it off to an AI summarization - would be for the report to include a key or data dictionary section at the bottom that describes each data column in the report and refers explicitly to the Bristol scale.

All history gone. 7.5 years!
I got a new phone today and set it up and all of my 7.5 years of history is gone. I upgrade my phone every year and this has never been an issue before. But now it’s all gone. I’m not going to use this app anymore if I have to start all over.
