Great when combined with It's great app. It's even better when combined with NearestToilet app.
★★★★★
Partly perfect I recomend this app because the symptom tracker is great, easy and discreet and the app is easy to navigate. The food log doesn't have much so I usually just add all my food as custom food. And the medication tracker always tells me I'm missing one dose. But still a good app.
★★☆☆☆
It isn't generating any reports so what's the point? That's the whole reason why I installed it, so I'd have reports to show my doctors. Instead it just stores the information and nothing more. No collating of info, nothing. Also, it keeps logging me out. Super annoying!
★★☆☆☆
Would be great idea if it worked... App is huge help in theory, but doesn't work right. Cannot edit any entries and medications will not open to edit or make notes. Expected better...so disappointed.
★★☆☆☆
Great idea, too buggy The app is between useless and unusable. Since it demands to phone home before it will open instead of taking the information and sending it when wifi is available you may as well use the website. Since it rarely syncs up with the website it makes no sense for it to ever phone home. Since you can't get reports from the app and can't see what has been recorded in the app you may as well not use the app. The idea with the website is great and helped me find a trigger food. The idea on portable devices so you can log an event when it happens and the time is now rather than having to do a million clicks for each and every detail like the website requires is great. The implementation on both leaves a lot to be desired. Fix the app or make the website more user friendly. Until then (don't hold your breath) take notes and plod through the website when possible.
