It's a clock to count squeeze no workout examples.
This app came as an alternative to use as a workout program for kegel exercises, unfortunately it's only a clock nothing else. Contacted developer for a refund I can use my stop watch. Please put in description that it's only a clock.
Request for an indicator for associated bowel movement in the bladder diary
In early December I wrote a note to support team on the Squeezy app, not knowing at that time there was a men’s app. I suggested an indicator for an “associated bowel movement indicator”. A review on that app stated the development team were reticent to add items not based on medical evidence.
Here is the evidence to back my request here:
Top 5 research papers on the interaction between bowel movement and bladder activity occurring in the same timeframe as the bladder activity.
Why this matters :
Bladder diaries often show variable urgency, frequency, and leakage that users can’t explain. A common missing context is **bowel activity and rectal loading** (e.g., constipation, rectal distension, bowel movement timing), which can acutely modulate bladder reflexes and sensations. Without bowel context, apps may misattribute patterns to fluids, caffeine, anxiety, or “random variability.”
What the science shows in plain terms is:
The bladder and bowel share:
- Anatomic proximity - (rectum can mechanically affect bladder/urethra when distended)
- Shared neural pathways (cross-sensitization and reflex cross-talk via pelvic afferents and spinal circuits)
- Shared inflammatory/sensory signalling (bowel inflammation can increase bladder excitability)
Result: bowel state and bowel events can shift bladder capacity, urgency thresholds, detrusor activity, and perceived bladder sensation on the same day—and sometimes within a short timeframe.
Key evidence (5 anchor papers)
- Burgers et al., Journal of Urology (2010), doi:10.1016/j.juro.2010.03.120
Acute rectal distension in children measurably alters lower urinary tract function on urodynamics → direct evidence of time-linked bowel→bladder effects.
- Wyndaele et al., Journal of Urology (2013), doi:10.1016/j.juro.2013.03.045
Colorectal distension modulates bladder inhibition (animal model) → physiologic basis for bowel fullness influencing urgency/frequency.
- Minagawa et al., Journal of Urology (2013)
Colorectal distension changes bladder afferent nerve activity → explains altered bladder sensation/urgency around bowel changes.
- Liang et al., Journal of Neuroinflammation (2012)
Colonic inflammation drives changes in bladder activity via sensory pathway signaling → supports tracking bowel flares alongside urinary flares.
- Scientific Reports (2022)
**Functional constipation** induces bladder overactivity with relevant molecular pathway changes → supports bowel-state markers to interpret urinary frequency/urgency trends.
I trust this is sufficient evidence for adding a “bowel movement associated” indicator to the bladder diary to capture association between bowel movements and urinary events.

Confusing messaging.
The app description says it’s suitable for all men wishing to do pelvic floor exercises but the information in the app says it’s not recommended as a routine exercise for men not currently experiencing symptoms. Perhaps that should also be in the app description as well I as downloaded it with a view to prevent any future issues.

Not Worth it.
Literally all you get is what U see in the preview plus some simple information you can find anywhere on the net for free. Any AI application (chatgpt, Gemini or...etc) can be way more helpful than this app and you don't have to pay for it.
No watch support
I’m sure I read somewhere that it had watch support so paid and downloaded. Unfortunately it does not so unless you want to get your phone out on the train and do your exercises I’d look elsewhere.
Post prostrate surgery
Used this app on recommendation of McMillan nurse pre surgery and continued after. I genuinely feel it sped up my recovery. Highly recommend
Essential App
If you want to do these exercises properly you need the App. I did them for 3 months before finding the Squeezy App. With little or no effect. Using the app I quickly realised how to do the excercises correctly and reaped the benefits.
Used for over 7 years…
Was recommended to use this app by the Physiotherapist after my radical prostatectomy in 2018. I have found the routine of using it every day a good discipline & am sure it has helped me in controlling the after effects of my operation.
I recommend it for anyone who has gone through the same prostate cancer treatment.

Great App
I found it very difficult after having my prostrate removed to keep to the daily routine of pelvic floor exercises. Using this app reminds you when to do the exercises and for how long. Great app, would very much recommend.
Great App to help continence after Prostate Removal.
Having received the diagnosis of prostate cancer and surgery I used this app both before and after surgery.
Now fully continent.

Does what it says on the tin
Although it’s a glorified alarm clock and timer, it’s perfect and fit for purpose. I’ve been using it for several years now and continue to use it daily.
Message to the developers: would it be possible to have the haptic vibration on the quick squeezes as well as the long ones. Just a little blip so you can do your exercise exercises in silent in public places
Cheers.

Simple and effective
Well laid out and simple to use. The best part for me was the reminders it sends when exercise is due. These repeat (can be silent if you choose) and red mark appears on the home screen app showing how many you are behind. Well worth the small charge
Brilliant
What a great app, I use this every day after my surgery, I never use pads and I don’t leak. Brilliant
Very helpful
I can’t imagine that I would have achieved such a well structured training regime without this app. It’s simple and does that does whats required without any unnecessary bells and whistles. Brilliant!
Graphic
This Squeezy App sets the discipline and encourages proper exercise by keeping a graph of your efforts.

Slow results
Don’t expect this to work
Wasting money
Wasting money , not working at all after few months constant usage
Pelvic exercises
Has helped me to the road of recovery immensely a big difference if not done the pelvic floor exercises.
Could be better
Downloaded the app onto my iPhone and it’s working fine. Also downloaded to my iPad but would like it to sync with my iPad to enable easier viewing and logging of stats. Is there a way to sync both so that my data entries can be viewed on both or can I send current data to my iPad from my phone? Also tried to email the helpline and it says undeliverable.

Good for developing better pelvic strength
I have used this app for a good few years after my prostatectomy and rely on it as a daily discipline to keep what would otherwise be my incontinence under control. I know the exercises work because if I get lazy and can’t be bothered to use the app my incontinence returns and after resuming it is improved.
