this app will make you sick with stress

If you want to spend an hour a day going thru the minutia of your meals and poop this is the app for you. far from intuitive, this app requires a level of patience and detail that makes it totally impractical to use, guess Iam back to good old pen and paper

Super helpful

This app is easy to use, after just a week of using it I can already see patterns emerging!

great idea but...

where is the icloud sync? lost alll my data doing an iphone restore!

Good app

I found this app pretty easy to use. Better than the app I had been using previously. It did take a little work to find the analysis and add additional items, but all in all I like it it will stay with it. Miss the fact that it has no iCloud sync. It would be nice to be able to input on my iPhone and then sync with my iPad later at home.

Pretty good

I like the level of detail I can add to this app, and really appreciate that theres NO mention of calories, which is rare in a food tracking app. However, Id love to see a calendar view that shows patterns: how often you ate a certain food, what time your meals were, etc.

Not a bad app.

The data it collects is helpful if youre trying to figure out what habits are causing which symptoms. Too bad theres not enough info in the program - you cant bar scan anything because theres no items imputed there. Theres also too many steps to go through, it could be streamlined better I think. All in all, not a bad app, but could use some work.

Cant save anything or Add items

App would be great if the saving recipes, food, Workouts could work ! The organizer doesnt work at all !

No idea if it works properly

Despite being spammed almost daily, I have waited a couple weeks to try to give a fair review. The app is great for recording everything (except for some confusion with duplicate items) but you really have no idea if it is useful for determining the cause of anything. The app doesnt explain what to do.

Helpful

This app is an aid to me , It helps me keep track of my multiple symptoms ! I am able to track meals symptoms , stress, sleep and bowel movements , which is crucial with my diseases.

Great app

I have had digestive problems for years and this app is exactly what I needed! I can record everything that I do during the day or everything that happens for me. Once I have a few months of data I will be printing off the pdf file and giving it to my dr so hopefully we can finally find a solution to my digestive issues.

Good app

Could use more reporting/analysis options

Excellent

Simple to use, quick to enter the data, flexible: you can change the symptoms you are tracking; also appreciate the ability to scan bar codes. Very useful- just what I was looking for.

Good Idea Falls Short

There are a lot of good ideas here but this app falls short primarily on its extraordinarily complex and non-standard input interface. And, frankly I couldnt understand its analysis/results screen despite reading the help page on how to interpret it twice. I agonized with this app for about 7 weeks before giving up. I dont understand the need for all the input options. Instead of 7 food/drink input options there should be 3, food, drink, medicine. I dont see how it helps differentiating by the name of the meal. All that should be relevant is the time. For symptoms, the time is difficult to input. You should be able to put in a start and end time. But, no, this app insists on a start time and a duration, forcing me to do math each time. Symptom durations are arbitrarily limited to 24 hours. Sometimes my primary symptoms lasted longer than 24 hours. The sheer number of Inputs requires for one food item is astounding. I understand that detail can be important but it usually isnt. This app forces you through too many detail screens for each input. When adding a new item or ingredient if you press done the new item is deleted. Instead you are supposed to scroll down and click add new item. What the? Why cant done mean done. If the user wants to cancel there should be a cancel option. These are just a few of the apps shortcomings. It is a great idea but it truly needs a complete UI overhaul focused on efficient entry. And the analysis screen needs to be comprehensible. Otherwise whats the point!

Easy to use

I use this app daily. Very easy to use.

Good app

Useful for inputting food items and symptoms, but am doubtful of the results provided by their analyzer. Still an efficient way to track though!

Just What I need!

Am very happy with this app so far. I just started it a couple of days ago. I am hoping I can be persistent in recording my criteria regularly. If nothing else itll make me more aware of what Im putting in my mouth. Will write another review after Ive used it a bit longer. Thank you to the producers of this app for taking the time to create it. It has a lot of detail you can record if you so choose. October 17, 2016 I still love this app! I had a hip replacement recently and I have a digestive issue so Ive been able to record all the data required so Ill be able to show my dietician at my next appt. the end of this month. I am able to record all my meds, exercise, foods I eat, bathroom results, drinks, supplements, symptoms (of course), drinks, stress level, sleep quality. It exports easily to a PDF file which Ill print out for my next appt. I am very grateful for and happy with this app! I highly recommend it!

very useful

メニューは英語ですが、ご自分で症状、出来事、及び食べ物を日本語で記入できます。 日本での医師に見せる時にお互いの理解が高まり、診断にも非常役立ちます。 This app makes it easy to talk to my doctor about my symptoms and the issues at hand. I was also very impressed with the support team reaction. Great work, Thank you.

Love the ease of use

Much easier to enter and categorize than anything Ive ever used. Ive only been using it a few days so I havent used the correlation capability yet, but I love where this app is heading.

Amazing great app

I was looking for a way to track my food intake and medication compared to my health and symptoms and this is the magic bullet. The reporting side needs a little polishing but there is some great potential for diagnostics here. Its only as good as you are though. It works best when all the details are logged, although that is sometimes difficult. To get started I just added "regular supplements" but now Im going back in to record each supplement and dosage

Exactly what I was needing!

This makes keeping a food journal so insanely easy. I just wish I wouldve found it sooner!
