Can’t sign up
Not for me
Impossible to try without signing up for trial
This and the repeated UI/UX Design elements that urge you to sign up combined with their “support” webpage being ad-supported just screams “we’re going to take your money from you whether you like it or not”!
This erodes my trust in this app and this developer before I even get a chance to try the app! And, that’s the last thing you want to do with an app that is involved with my Personal Health Information! No, thank you!
Don’t trust this app! Dark Patterns & Hostile to Users
Impossible to set up
On the bright side, it does sync some things *somehow* with Apple Health. It has 90 gazillion things it will track, including all kinds of esoteric medications supplements, and activities. It automatically tracks things like weatherly and promises the ability to integrate every bit of the data to find any possible influences on your symptoms.
There isn’t even a help section or manual to help you know where to start and figure it all out.
The app has so much potential, but it’s just too complicated to set up and use, so I’m afraid I have to delete it.
They also tried to charge my card for it even though I thought I canceled the trial in time. Fortunately, my bank flagged the charge as fraudulent, but then they paid it when they sent the charge through again, so now I’m entangled in a dispute.
Defective
Amazing
Buggy, not intuitive, pain to edit
Not intuitive. Add a daily med and suddenly you are changing its universal set up.
Changing a date on an entry is tedious. Since I do not log every day this is more than annoying.
Very sensitive scroll bars and check boxes. Many times have to enter multiple times to get it right.
Many times during entry screen just flicks back. Happens frequently and on multiple versions. Supported reported it was fixed. Nope
Searching for something better
High-pressure sales & non-functional free trial
---
Here is the feedback I gave when I deactivated my account:
Apparently, I am not allowed to use the premium features if I’m on the free trial. Any time I try to use one, I get a pop-up selling me on the subscription that I already have. I assume that this is because you want me to keep auto-renew turned on to increase the chances that I’ll forget to cancel before you charge me for a full year. Your pop-up prompts to exit that sales screen are intentionally confusing and manipulative. Really unethical pressure sales tactics, especially considering that your target audience is chronically ill people. I wish I had been able to actually use your app, but it was impossible. It seems that you have very little faith in the quality of your service if these are the strategies you think it requires.

I got two different versions of a pop-up when I would click exit on their subscription sales screen (only one at a time, thankfully).
The first was titled “Enhance Your Wellness” and said “Upgrade for personalized health insights. Secure access.” with two options: “Basic path”, “Enhanced journey”
The first was titled “Unlock Health Potential” and said “Join others improving well-being. Risk-free upgrade.” with two options: “I’m fine”, “Explore potential”
I just don’t think that those are accessible enough ways to say “Would you like to buy a CA$60/year subscription? No / Yes”. The developers know that they target a population that is more prone to confusion, difficulty thinking/processing, short-term memory issues, etc., and is desperate to improve their health (often fighting against systems that should be helping but aren’t). The developers are intentionally using high-pressure and manipulation tactics targeted at chronically ill people. I think it’s gross.

The deactivation process also left a bitter taste in my mouth. I confirmed I wanted to deactivate my account, then selected the reason why (other), then I get a prompt with “Customer support can help you with this issue. Would you like to contact support instead?” It seems like that prompt shows up no matter which reason I select, including “Too expensive” and “Don’t use it”.
It’s worth it
would definitely recommend to my peers

Does not work
I couldn’t get past the start. I gave my date of birth and then when selecting what I need it for most, it keeps giving me errors and auto sending me to the App Store for another app review. This is not an ad popping up and accidentally clicking it.. it comes up after answering one of the apps questions to get started.
I uninstalled it, and then tried again.. I cannot get past this stage, to even see the app working in full.
Very disappointed.
