Keeping the record is the hard part. Before an insurer will look at surgery for lipedema, it wants months of documented conservative therapy โ and it is the gaps in that record, not the effort, that get an application questioned. Lipowise keeps the record day by day and hands it over as one document. THE DAILY RECORD (free) - Compression, movement therapy and lymphatic drainage in seconds โ or yesterday's routine in one tap - Pain on a 0โ10 scale, plus pain on pressure, heaviness, tightness, swelling and new bruises - A calendar to fill in any day you missed; days entered late are marked honestly in the file - A daily reminder that stays quiet once the day is logged EVERYTHING THE FILE NEEDS (free to record) - Circumference measurements for each leg separately, plus waist, hips and arms - Height, weight and waist, so BMI and the waist-to-height ratio are on file - Photos taken inside the app, with the previous photo laid over the camera and a self-timer - Prescriptions, doctor's letters and therapy confirmations โ scanned or imported - Compression garments, with a reminder before the replacement interval is up THE FILE (Pro) - One PDF: a month-by-month summary, the day-by-day record, pain and symptom history, body measures, measurements and photos - Your documents attached as numbered enclosures - A page for your treating physician to confirm the therapy - A short summary for any appointment - Open a finished sample file before you decide WITH OR WITHOUT A CLAIM Liposuction is funded in very few countries. Switch to ongoing care and the countdown disappears โ you keep the trends, the compression garment replacement intervals and the appointment summary. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR DEVICE No account, no server, no analytics. Photographs are stored inside the app and never written to your photo library, so they do not sync anywhere. The developer cannot see your record, because it never travels. An optional Face ID lock keeps the record private on a shared phone, and a single backup file lets you move it to a new phone yourself. IT DOES NOT INTERPRET ANYTHING No score that says whether you qualify, no reading of your pain curve. Lipowise records and formats. Your doctor decides the therapy; your insurer decides the claim. It is not a medical device and gives no diagnosis or treatment advice. Lipowise Pro Auto-renewing subscription: 1 year, USD 39.99 (local pricing may differ).

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bars at none against Lipowise's 2. Lipowise's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
