Perfect for chronic fatigue and other chronic illnesses!
Amazing app for pacing! Instead of ignoring my symptoms and overdoing it, this app reminds me to slow down. And being able to look back at previous days is super helpful too!
The widgets are great for a quick glance, and I have the watch complication right in the middle of my watch screen to tell me “Caution!” if that’s how my body is doing that day. And it’s super easy to change the thresholds for alerts—either manually, or letting the app choose the numbers based on your recent history!
And the developer is still developing! Looking forward to seeing how this app continues to grow.

Great daily monitor for cfs/me/lc
Update 12/3 this app keeps getting better and better, with new features added nearly every update this year.
I was pleasantly surprised to open the app today and see an update that now includes a Metric page. I sent my thanks to the developer!

Handy app
I am finding this to be a handy app to keep track of where I’m at day to day. When connected to my watch it’s a considerate battery drain (ironic huh) on my watch but if you don’t mind charging your watch twice a day definitely worth checking out.
Very functional!
I did not understand pacing and struggled to conceptualize tracking until this app- this app made it very clear very simple while being very easy to personalize.
With an illness that makes almost everything overwhelming, the simplicity and clarity this app offers, for free, is something I feel so much gratitude and appreciation for. Tech can sometimes be a bummer - but when there are moments of human altruism and care it embodies I realize it is not the tech, but rather the people and purposes it is serving that can feel so bad (or in this case, good).
Early on I did have a moment in which I wished that the app had some review features, and would save the day before as some others pointed out. But last night, at almost midnight, I was carrying around the bright red danger warning on my screen and feeling anxious, only to have it reset while I brushed my teeth and be gone, reset with the clock. In that moment, I felt a lift and a sense of hopefulness - I would sleep and it would be a new day. I told myself, I can find most of the info in my Apple health app, and I don’t need to think about it now, I only need to rest and try again tomorrow.
Suddenly less functionality felt like it had meaning and purpose - aiming my focus at what I can do now, for once. This apps design is also reinforcing me taking one day at a time. I am certain not everyone will agree, but it is rare you can learn something so fundamental from such a simple free app that feels core to healing. Thank you sincerely to the developers. I am really appreciative of you for making something so functional and providing it to a community that can really benefit from your gift.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write. It's very good to know the app is helpful. David.

Great basic app, could use a few enhancements if possible
This app is pretty basic, but it does exactly what it says on the box. It allows you to monitor the key data points that might impact your fatigue/pain/othet symptoms, or lead to a flare up.
The watch app is great, but the phone app could be enhanced. It would be really great if:
1. Some widget options could be added, so that the current status can be made visible on the phone Home Screen
2. The phone app could show the day’s data on sliding scales (similar to the way they are displayed in the watch app) instead of just a list of the current data points
3. The phone app could show historical data, not just the data from the same day

Simple app for pacing
Really useful little app that monitors some key metrics during the day and alerts if you go over them. HR alerts aren’t instant but it’s been really useful to help identify activities which tend to spike my HR.
I like that I can just the thresholds.
Really glad I saw the previous review about how to reset HR monitoring for the day, so you still get alerts
A history would be useful for refining pacing strategies eg comparing status and metrics to PEM
The watch complication for overall status has sadly stopped working since the last update. I can’t find any way to contact the developer directly so hoping he spots this review and can release a fix

Excellent Tool
Incredibly valuable tool that helps with pacing and preventative measures. Allows the user to be mindful of their energy levels at a quick glance.
Thank you.
Thank you.
so so incredible
So incredibly useful if you’ve got energy limiting illnesses with brain fog like long Covid thank you to the developer for making it and to Reddit for sharing it!!
“No data”
Despite my Apple Watch posting data to the health app and having WatchMe installed to my watch and my phone, there is no data being recorded in the WatchMe app.
Have I done something wrong?
I was excited for an Apple-watch-integrated option for pacing, but so far this isn’t working at all.

Hi. Do check in Settings / Privacy & Security / Health / WatchME that you've given the app permission to look at your Health data.
Lovely simple app, but needs a few tweaks
I am really finding this app helpful. It would be even better 1. If the high heart rate notification was a bit quicker and 2. If it was possible to reset the critical notification so that it was possible to keep monitoring HR throughout the day. Then it would be perfect.
Great app for Long covid patients! Except info disappears at the end of the day.
Great app but everything disappears at the end of the day. It would be wonderful if it integrated in the apple health for review. Even better to have a summary report, perhaps weekly or monthly that one could export to show doctors.
Great app!
Honestly love how simple this app is to allow me to see things quickly at a glance.

Pacing
This is very helpful to set warnings for heart rate or steps. It’s good for teaching where your limits are so you know to stop and rest. There is a place where you can set your own thresholds for the limits. The only thing I wish is that you can reset it for heart rate. I have Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome along with the ME. My heart rate is very variable. I can hit the threshold and lay down and have my heart rate go back down. But later I will get up again and need the heart rate reset.

Hi. You can reset the alert for any of the parameters. On the watch a double tap will reset to "from now on". A repeat double tap will reset back to midnight. You can also long press to pause a parameter if you want to ignore it for the rest of the day. On the phone long press on a parameter to bring up a menu to access these same functions.
We hav needed this for so long
ME/CFS folx, I highly recommend. You can set and modify your own parameters. I wish it integrated with Oura ring, but I get around this by updating my Apple Health details from my Ours ring throughout the day. I am excited to see how this helps me better pace over time. THANK YOU so much for building this!!!

Great app except for one thing
Thanks to the developers. This is a great app except for one issue, there are no trackers and it doesn’t record data. It would be great if it were updated so you can track your stats, recorded in charts or raw data, allow for notes to be added, etc. Will this be a future update?
To both the developer and the one who wrote first review
Also a long hauler. I saw me/cfs and based off my symptoms with the POtS dysautomia and heart rate bp and activity energy wise this is me in a picture. I’m under tax so the a medical team and what testing do we need to send me to to help make sure this is the diagnosis and so we can figure out if the vaccine caused it. I am 36 former healthy athlete no medical bc except allergies to pollen and ragweed and took Claritin daily. I am RN and never had Covid to my knowledge if I did it was asymptotic. Got my booster 6 months ago and have been struggling with 100-149 hr up and down from lying to sitting and or any kind of activity weight loss but all muscle from what I guess was over exertion. I had chicken pox in kindergarten (91) mono in highschool (2003) htn and hr will both be up and once hits certain point get dizzy and have had syncope but now I know to lay down when the black tunnel is coming or see dots bc my ANS is going to kick in and bottom out my pressure. What testing labs and procedures & specialist do we need to go to? Any info will help and this app is a life saver. I will definitely pass it along for the others like us! ❤️❤️💪💪💪💪

Excellent app!
Does what it says on the box.
Needs notifications!
Really basic app - which is great. But no notifications to enable for warnings? That would be really handy!
