Very useful and will be a great tool! The only criticism I have, and why
the 4 stars, is based upon the share cards. I have just started utilizing
this app, and I will definitely keep doing so. However- on each condition,
it gives you the option to input notes, dates, photos etc. I had done that
when testing this app out, and it is stored within that condition (on the
app). The downfall lies in the fact that when you use a share card, which I
will definitely need to utilize... all of the notes and photos are randomly
acquired at the bottom of the pdf. They are not listed under the condition-
I had a random note that was under one condition indicated I did not know
when this symptom began progressing- if you use the app, and choose the
condition, you'll see that note in the app under appropriate condition and
it would make sense. However, the pdf doesn't indicate what
conditions/symptoms etc. that it corresponds to, so health providers will
have zero idea what one (out of so many unfortunately lol) I am talking
about or referring to :/ and photos are also the same way- those I guess
you can rename every one, but it would be nice if a med professional who
isn't interested in every condition or photo we uploaded could see what
photos we uploaded for that specific condition- instead of having to sort
through at bottom where they're all just piled together- we all know most
doctors won't take the time to sort and find photos that may be of a great
importance to what they're trying to treat ha. I really love the app other
than those two specific things- and I hope adjustments can be made in the
future, as it will Truly help!! :)

I came to BPH after my former app ceased. I love having my [complicated] medical history available when needed! In fact, it became necessary after I had my lower jaw all but severed by a dog bite! We were in Podunk & outside my med coverage area - the information provided to the entire team working on me led to an infusion my blood required & work that led to an incredible recovery. If not for the info, I could have easily bled out b/c I do not clot. It also has made things easy w/new doctors.
★★☆☆☆
The app was INCREDIBLE while it lasted. Life-saving. But the app has been discontinued - it's here, yes, but there is no customer support and a bug that prevents you from adding anything from a condition to an allergy to a medicine, making the app useless now. Please, some genius out there pick up the ball, I'm begging. Make it paid, do whatever. This app's ability was too important to be lost. This was the only way I could continuously share my emergency medical info with family.
★★☆☆☆
I don't like having to load personal information onto some sire who knows where in order to use an app.
