MySymptoms Food Diary Positive Reviews

Very useful & gets easier to use over timeI have been using this ap for nearly a week after my gastroenterologist suggested I keep a food and symptom diary. I don’t want to have to do this but if I am going to invest the time, I want to have useful data. This ap allows a lot of individualization, both of data type as well as granularity. It is taking a little longer to figure out how to optimally use than a less customizable ap but I greatly appreciate having this flexibility. So, e.g., if I want to list only 2 items for a day, such as “coffee” and “heartburn” I could do that. Or if I want to list detailed ingredients and quantities and exact times with free text comments in multiple categories, I can also do that. If over time I realize I need to go more or less granular or add or subtract a category, I can do that. After using for a few days, the selectable entries became much quicker as the ap defaults to listing prior entries as available selections for subsequent days. If you are like me, you are taking some of the same meds and supplements and eating many of the same foods each day. I don’t have enough data yet for extensive analysis yet but look forward to exploring these features more as well. There is a wealth of information available here, so far it has been well worth the time I have invested..Beth in Louisville, KYVersion: 5.30

So impressedThis is the first time I’ve EVER reviewed an app, because it’s the first time I’ve ever been so impressed! The functionality is amazing— so much more than you’d expect for an inexpensive little app. The ability to toggle on/off certain configurations / ways the algorithm works / analysis period to find top suspects— is evidence of the care and pride into this app. I could not believe when I went on vacation, the times of each entry changed for that day, so I didn’t have to do any more work (ie, pretending to be on a different timezone that day) so my “X hours after” ingestion values weren’t wrecked— it just worked, without any human adjustment needed! Clearly someone has thought long and hard about every scenario, and taken steps to address it in the app. I think the ability to either create a new recipe or replace all previous instances of the recipe with your new entry is essential, and without it, I doubt the results would ever be accurate. Basically I’m blown away by this app!!!! I should note that I find technology intuitive in general. If you want a more beginner’s app, and you’re willing to trade functionality for ease of learning the app, maybe you’d want to choose a different one. Personally I’m so glad I didn’t. This app rocks!!!.Kelbell23Version: 4.81

Most excellent tool to manage my symptoms!I downloaded a week ago, after 3 successive disappointing experiences with similar apps. when trying to register initially last Sunday, i did not notice the password requirements, and failed numerous times. I asked by email for help, which was immediately answered on the first hour on Monday! amazing customer service and follow up care , exceptional company!! All being wonderful, i started using it, and here’s the real amazement:- it’s probably the most comprehensive, smart, beautifully designed and well-thought app out there. Being a systems analyst myself, i naturally tried to test/challenge/trick and find the problems or things lacking with the app...:). WOW AND BRAVO guys, superb achievement, you need to be proud of your work, it tremendously helps people like me with real bad lifelong symptoms of a disease that must be controlled by using such a tool that keeps track of everything so perfectly. Best thing about it is it’s simplicity and ease to amend, correct, add data backdated, improve our records, and even add new items that currently do not exist in the database. Thank you developers, great job!!.MorenliorestVersion: 5.20

Perfect app for what I need it for!I was recently diagnosed with gastroparesis, a chronic and awful condition where your stomach doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to and food is delayed from Emptying into your intestines due to lack of motility. Was told to write down the foods I eat and symptoms they cause. To keep a journal. So I went searching for an app so I could do it on my phone as that is much easier than lugging around a notebook. I was delighted when I found this app. I thought maybe I would find an app that came a little close but that I would have to repurpose it for my need. But this app is exactly what I needed. It’s wonderful. And I love that I can track medications as well since we are having to try different ones. And then the PDF that I can send to my doctor or print out is just the bees knees. Thank you a million times for making this app. It’s awesome. I may recommend it to my fellow friends in an online support group I’m a part of. 10K Strong. I bet they will love this app as much as I do. 💜💜💜🤗🙏🙌👾👽😻.FasterwheelsVersion: 4.81

Really versatile!I love this app because I can track just about anything. With IBS-C, it can be very difficult to pin down what causes flare-ups, and while I JUST started using it, I can already see some interesting correlations in just a few days of tracking. The “Other” category is really important, too, because I can use it to track things like where I am in my cycle, or when I ride public transit (which can give me motion sickness as times). I’d ask the developers to include a way for women to track the very basics of their cycles because of how much it can relate to digestive symptoms, but I understand you can’t add everything to one app, and again, I can just use the “Other” category. Looking forward to the day that more foods are added to the database, but I’m happy to be contributing as I go!.PhayBellsVersion: 4.91

Confusing interfaceBasically decent app but frustrating to use. There are many redundant listings for single food items and if I happen to choose a different example from the list than I did the last time they get counted as two separate items which messes up the analysis. I tried to just make my very own list to control the choices so I only ever see the exemplar I used before but it was almost impossible. I don’t care if it takes a while to create my own library of items if I could do it and never see the list of every entry other users have used. Otherwise the developers need to curate the list so if I choose a basic item from the list it is always the same thing. I turned out to have “flax seed” as well as “Flax seeds” as two separate items. I couldn’t remember which one I had used 2 weeks earlier. That’s incredibly frustrating. I get so aggravated that I’ve stopped using the app. Also it would be better to be able to look for correlations between symptoms as well. It should be possible to look for correlations between any category of data and any other..Guz42Version: 4.931

Most robust option out thereFirst time I have reviewed an app because this one is so necessary for anyone with chronic health issues. It is the most robust, flexible and sophisticated option for tracking symptoms and getting analytics to help you find correlations. As with anything like this, the data is only as good as what you enter, e.g. to get really good data, you have to keep religiously entering information when you’re not having symptoms. I really hope they continue to improve the app and add more automation. I would especially like to see options to import data from Apple Health, Watch and other apps, e.g. automatic logging of environment events based on location and weather data. Nonetheless, it’s a phenomenal app and very helpful if you are diligent about data entry..Molly23232!Version: 4.91

Unable to synchronize data between devicesI just started using the app, and I like it. It's a bit clumsy to input some of the data needed, but a lot of info is in their database. The stuff that's not takes a bit of a learning curve to create, and its done ONE STEP AT A TIME. But I'm betting that once the majority of info is inputted, it will be much easier for me. My biggest grip, at this time, is that i can't synchronize my data between my iphone and ipad. I just (maybe stupid on my part) assumed that I would be able to use whichever device is handy to input my data. And I DEFINITELY TO NOT WANT TO INPUT NEW DATA TWICE!!. I emailed the company about this issue and will get back to this review to update it when I get their response. Besides that, I believe it to be (while initially clumsy to get data into the database that is not presently there) a good app that will help me figure out the foods and symptoms correlation..MjbuzzyVersion: 4.81

Everything I need to track for my overall health.To;dr: well worth the $5 IMO. As someone who has been diagnosed with adhd, and struggles to maintain a healthy weight; this app encompasses everything I need to track to “see the bigger picture”of my health. I’ve tried other fitness apps, but always ended up ditching them because it focused more on numbers then anything else. That doesn’t work for me; it tends to become all or nothing thinking. I want to build a healthy relationship with food, my body and mental health. I realized that I just need document certain aspects of my daily life to see where I’m at so I can then look at what small steps I can take that will have the most impact..Desert BeautyVersion: 5.30

You may not want to UPDATE YOUR APPThis app worked fine until I did the most recent update that has a cloud backup. I could not back up successfully to the cloud because it currently only allows up to 64 characters for an item. I had to modify my item name to something shorter than what I originally input so that I could sync. The developer discovered this after I contacted them for help when my sync failed every time. I got quick and helpful assistance by emailing the company. The cloud backup is only to allow syncing between devices. You can’t sign in to the cloud data in a PC to review or edit. It is still possible to email yourself the data as a safety mechanism to ensure data isn’t lost from the app once you’ve signed up for cloud syncing, but it’s not obvious and there are currently not directions for how to do so in the User Manual or in the FAQ..Mk40*Version: 5.02

Super HelpfulThis app helped me figure out what was causing my GI issues. I logged a couple weeks of food and voila, gluten and dairy are my culprits! One helpful hint to anyone buying the app: when logging food, make sure all the ingredients are listed. If gluten is the problem but every time you eat something with gluten you just say "pizza" instead of saying "pizza" and then listing all the ingredients such as flour, oil, etc. you won't be able to figure out what the problem is. Logging ingredients makes everything easier. A note to the app developers: you guys are awesome. Seriously, this app is amazing. I just have a couple of suggestions. Maybe a more clean/modern user interface? But that's not necessary; the app works great as is..Elliefs1Version: 4.81

Pleasantly SurprisedI don’t think I have ever reviewed an app but I’m so pleasantly surprised with this that I actually wanted to. First of all, the app is very easy to use in my opinion and I love that it allows you to add ingredients to a food. I don’t think I have ever found an app that I LOVE without having to pay extra to unlock some service or having ads pop up every 30 seconds. This app doesn’t have that at all! All of the features are fully accessible and that’s what I appreciate the most, otherwise I wouldn’t be writing this review. I also love that it does not track calories. The app is overall a great means of finding out what makes your body happy and what does not ☺️.KennagaynorVersion: 4.91

Excellent App for Mindfulness!So happy I found this app! 5 stars all the way! Previously I was keeping track of my food intake on a google doc to figure out some health issues. This app actually makes it fun to keep track of your symptoms and general mood all day long. It’s brought a lot of awareness around my food choices and subsequent mood shifts. I love that this app doesn’t count calories. It’s so much more interesting to remove the concept of high or low calories and just focus on how a certain food makes you feel! Way more intuitive than tedious calorie counting. I think using this app will lead to weight loss although it’s not the primary intent of the app..Martin Law GrpVersion: 4.81

Very Helpful!I have severe Ulcerative Colitis and struggle with flares and keeping my diet strictly in line. My doctors have been advising me to keep a food and symptom journal for years. This is so much easier to just plug in the details and not have to re-write everything down or try to remember. It has helped me be more detailed in what I record and figure out patterns based on what I am eating and the results. It has also been very helpful when seeing my doctors or staying in the hospital to be able to give exact info. About BMs, foods, meds, etc. I have and will continue to highly recommend this app. to people with any chronic health issues..RoooooooosterVersion: 4.81

Be carefulSo I love, love, love the features of this app and how it works! But I’m giving it three stars because of the unexpected costs. So when I downloaded the app, it was free but said “in app purchases” which typically means you can use the app in a limited function or for a sample time period. The app never asked for my card info or for an upgrade to premium or warned me about a trial period that I would be charged after. I found a charge to my apple account about a week after downloading the app! I’m not very happy with the producers of the app because of the sneaky charge. If I’d known or had been warned, I would be ok with it, but I wasn’t. So, the app itself is wonderful and it’s functions and adaptability is amazing, but I really wished I’d been told about the charge up front..Emiru19Version: 5.19

Just what I needed! Love it!I was looking for an easy way to track my food and symptoms. This app is perfect! So easy to use. Like other reviewers, I don't understand the people that had challenges. I think they didn't understand the basic, simple functionality. I've only used it for a few days now, so I haven't gotten to try the analysis portion but I'm interested to see if that works. For me that's just a bonus. I'm thinking I have to figure out this food/symptom mystery on my own. Speaking of bonuses, the app stores what you've eaten recently for breakfast, lunch, etc. so if you eat the same thing, it's extra easy to enter..Kookykate100Version: 4.81

Great App!It’s a great app, I️ like that you can track bowel movements and other symptoms, such as headaches, which are a huge problem for me. The reason that I’m not going to keep using this app is that when I scan an item 95% of the time it comes up as not in the system and I don’t have the time to type in all of the ingredients on every item that I scan because there are so many freaking ingredients in everything. Unfortunately it just takes all the convenience out of this app, unlike an app like MyFitnessPal, which will scan 99% of everything. I’m going to keep the app for now and then come back in a couple months to see if this has been fixed..Queen lizardoVersion: 4.81

Sjögren’s and H-EDS and FibromyalgiaThis app is was easy to individualize especially after I was able to set it up. I still have a little trouble with reading the reports. It has detailed reports just not a good key legend to go with the reports. For me that is bot a deal breaker for using the app just a learning curve. I have Sjögren's Syndrome , H-EDS (Hyper-Mobility - Ehler’s-Danlos Syndrome), and Fibromyalgia on top of mental illnesses. This app allows me to track all my symptoms and what I eat on top of any movement and medication/supplement to help correlate what helps, what doesn’t and helps with needed adjustments. This app is amazing and easy once you get the hang of it! 🎉🎊🤗.LSunshineOVersion: 5.50

Absolutely does the trickExcellent way to keep track of what I eat instead of just trying to memorize everything I did. I wish they would add a line for weight as I weigh myself each morning to also track that. Other than that, it works fine. It’s cumbersome at times to type in the food - but no-mater what app you use you would still have to do that. Since my phone is with me all the time it’s way easier than carrying a notebook and writing everything down. I love the way it orders events when you adjust the time..Mdross44Version: 4.931

It’s good but could be amazingI have to agree with some of the other reviewers… the UI has room for improvement, but my main issue is with the database. This app has great functionality but the db is lacking. This app would benefit greatly if it could integrate with other food trackers such as Lose it! Then I would only have to enter data once… Lose It has way more detailed data but it doesn’t have the other functionality this app has, which is what I really need right now. I will continue to use for a couple of months and see if it helps me identify issues with the food I eat..Ibdf18Version: 5.28

Lacking a moderately extensive library of food & missing ethnic foodsI purchased this app to help track my diet for possible food intolerance because I really liked the idea of the ease of scanning a barcode to automatically add what I ate. (I usually don't pay for apps, I thought the convince was worth ~$3.) The issue though is that the amount of foods logged and connected to a barcode is not that impressive. Almost every food I've scanned, I've had to create my own instance of... On top of that there are not many "ethnic" foods already existing in the food library which is a real bummer. I am not sure I will continue using the app b/c it's ended up really time consuming to log every food..CassR000Version: 4.931

Life saver!It has been a real struggle for me to properly keep track of my symptoms and what I've eaten plus when I take my medications. I couldn't be more impressed with this app, my favorite feature is the unlimited amount of symptoms you can track. I've purchased other apps where they give you a maximum amount of symptoms, such as 5. Then they require you to pay more to upgrade. It's ridiculous. Thank you for making my life so much easier, and for helping me and my doctor keep track of my life..AmandaPaleaseVersion: 4.90

Gluten-Free? EPI FODMAP helpUsed the app to gather info to report to doctor when figuring out that I was gluten intolerant though not officially celiac. Now using to figure out fat levels needed to handle my EPI (pancreatic insufficiency)! Great tool to find hidden allergies too. Someday I might use for finding FODMAPs, appears it should work well. Even tracking medications & pain levels after broke a couple of ribs. Great flexibility—you can add your own symptoms, so possibly applicable to a lot of different medical issues. My only complaints are I want more diet tracking info. But its worth it without that!.KarnaJoVersion: 5.58

ComprehensiveI’ve only been using the app for a week now but it has everything I needed. I can track food and medication intake and sleep and mood and other health symptoms all in one place. The initial set up takes a little bit of time the first time I enter something new but after that it’s super easy. This will be a really good self advocacy tool the next time I’m at the doctor trying to explain a complicated and not well understood condition. Cause and effect will be laid out right on paper..LyricartVersion: 4.931

Good appI have a chronic illness and type one diabetes so being able to track all my symptoms both physical and mental is extremely helpful for myself and my doctors. I do wish you could view your diary and the first thing on top be the most recent item you posted not the first thing you posted from the day. It also asks for a lot of detail when you log anything which is time consuming and not something you can do super quick compared to other apps. But overall I’m pleased with it and would recommend it to others..HayHay4321Version: 4.931

Very useful, solid & reliableFor many, the app might be overkill, but which is worse -- features you don't use or features that aren't there? I've been a user for several years and am extremely happy with the app. On the 2 occasions I've needed support, they were fast, efficient, and effective. Highly recommended for food tracking and beyond. Sharing data between devices is fast, see less, and transparent..Gryfon 1Version: 5.58

Awesome AppI really really like this app I can keep track of my food water bowel movements just about anything everything is customizable and it’s so easy to use. I love how you can print a nice PDF report that’s amazing. Everything is synchronized from one device to the other so any device that you download the app on you can synchronize all of your information this app deserves a five star and no less thank you so much.Krsdj1Version: 5.28

Amazing ToolThis app helped me discover what was causing my G.I. issues. And now I'm using it to help me with my allergies. The database is somewhat sparse in terms of ingredients in things but I've been adding them myself in hopes that someone else can use them. Also the instructions are pretty straightforward but the explanation on scores and ratios in your analysis is a little difficult to understand. It would be helpful if there was a more detailed explanation on score and ratio and how you could use each. Overall this app is definitely worth three dollars..Kristie518Version: 4.81

Trust it enough to use it 😊Logging all the ingredients that you eat every day is a real drag. But when you need to do it, it’s really nice to have a manageable yet detailed tracker. Learning curve was a little high. (3) 11/23 Back to logging after a while, because I had severe gut symptoms. Through a different resource I discovered that it was related to mixed nuts. Continued to loose weight. Instructed to go back to logging what I ate, but also needed to log food and quantities for calories, requiring me to log in 2 different apps, frustrating - would be so nice if a calorie function was included..BarbaraAGVersion: 5.58

Breastfeeding MamaI am breastfeeding my baby and using this app to track how my food/drink intake affects the baby. I input my meals and drinks and then put in the symptoms of the baby and nap quality. The main things I’m tracking in my consumption to see if they affect baby are caffeine, dairy, conmen allergens, and alcohol. I mostly want to see how they affect the ease at which baby goes down for naps, sleep quality, fussiness, and digestive health. This app could be marketed to nursing mothers and be so useful! It would really help if you could add an input for “Nursed” or “Fed Baby”..BaileyteacherVersion: 5.28

So far so good.I like the app and initially thought it would be limited, but have been pleasantly surprised by how much is covered as far as the ability to track. You do have to input a lot, but that doesn’t bother me..I was already doing that, but a lot of what I’ve input is now available data. My biggest complaint is the lack of sync between devices. I have the app on more than one, but data only appears on one. Not going to input twice and doing backups constantly is a pain that only allows for one way transfers..NycheVersion: 4.81

Very detailedI suffer from migraines and it’s important for me to track my sleeping, eating and symptoms to figure out how things relate and cause my migraines. This app seems perfect to help with that. My only complaint is that instead of putting an end time for something, you put how many hours it happened. When I have a headache, the last thing I want to do is do time math to figure out how long it has been going on. It’d be much easier to just go on the app and say that it ended at that time and have the app determine the length of time..HwedgieVersion: 4.931

Good—almost greatThis is a really good app. One thing keeping it from being great, though, is a way to “copy all” from one date to another. Sometimes I forget to put in my details for a couple of days, and then it takes forever to get it all in. And when you do a lot of batch cooking, like I do, you have a lot of repeat meals. Please add this function! Also—I would love to participate in the “feedback” option in the app, but it won’t let me because I don’t use an iOS based email. This leaves A LOT of people out, I’m sure. Otherwise, the best app I’ve found so far for recording foods and symptoms..K04278116Version: 4.81

So far pretty good...Recently purchased to track my food symptoms for a variety of reasons. So far it seems pretty good, but there a few things I wish it had. I also tried out the Cara app and prefer the food entry here- but found Cara to be superior in tracking symptoms and providing options for each of the symptoms (such as mood (detailed things), sleep- how you feel when wake up etc). Also would like mensural cycles to be an option with detailed symptoms as this can play a huge role - even more so than food..NikkiFrenchVersion: 4.931

So easy to use!This app is super easy to use, and is perfect for tracking foods/symptoms. ( I am on an elimination diet and need to track those things.) Within 15 minutes of purchasing, I had put in all items I had eaten for the day, along with adding the supplements I was taking. I'm not sure what the negative reviews are about--I read the directions when I first loaded up and was easily able to figure out how to get all my items put in..GecarnahanVersion: 4.81

Useful!This app is helping me track food sensitivities, and it does seem to be helping. I’m still learning how to read the analysis portion (can be a little confusing, but there’s some solid info it provides), and I’m definitely starting to see patterns and what foods have been causing symptoms. No definite answers yet, but it has led me to a couple paths to try following! Support was quick to answer when I had a suggestion, I’m guessing they’d be be questions as well....Benlie11Version: 4.81

Delightful.Pretty well laid out app. It does exactly what I need and not much extra. I keep track of food and drinks due to LPR (silent reflux). It’s better than keeping a physical journal because it can keep a pattern. I need the pattern. Edit: I actually figured out my real issue after a little more use of this app. I had an allergic reaction to a certain food and it caused my issue. It wasn’t even LPR. This app helped me figure it out..20_degreesVersion: 5.57

Love this app!I have Crohn’s disease and am now adjusting to living with about 3ft fewer intestines than I’m used to. I’ve had to make some major diet and lifestyle changes and this app has helped me keep track of it all. It can be tedious to enter in every little thing, but eventually, it starts to remember things you do regularly so it gets faster as you continue to use it. Helps me figure out what is causing my symptoms. Thanks for making it!.EmilyjoannimalVersion: 4.81

About time!I have so many health problems and trying to figure out what is causing what is difficult for the specialists and I. I have found it easy so far and hope that I can figure out how to chart what each specialist needs. It allows for diversity of conditions by allowing you to add your own symptoms. I have lots of ideas for growth of this app and so far live it. This is the first review I have ever written. Keep up the good work!.BellaElle5Version: 4.81

Impressive but no mcgJust downloaded today and very impressed so far. There’s a lot of room for specifics but it still looks clean whether you have little or lots of data. My main complaint is that micrograms (mcg) are not listed as an option when selecting units for an ingredient. Also, the search function keeps freezing up, so I end up adding new ingredients that are probably already there..GlareathonVersion: 5.20

Perfect! I never pay but took the chanceSo happy I decided to spend the money and buy this app. It tracks your symptoms your food your fluid intake whatever you wanna put in there exercise medication vitamins. One thing I would really like to see is an area where you can create a list of foods -symptoms of foods that you have a bad reaction to and able to share with doctor..SunshineJetSkiRiderVersion: 5.19

Really great with room from improvementThe app has been easy to use for logging food. I only wish you could also do a daily long of symptoms, especially if you could add photos of symptoms to the daily log. That way improvements and regressions of symptoms could be tracked more easily. Thanks for this app, though. It is a helpful tool for us in figuring out food sensitivities for our daughter..Eferon & ErinVersion: 4.931

Very usefulLove this app to track foods and symptoms. The pdf report is an awesome feature. Have not used it long enough (only a few days) to get reliable information correlating foods with symptoms but fully expect that feature to be useful based on what I’ve seen so far. Only holding back 5 stars because there isn’t an easy way to trend symptoms ie graphical representation over time of number or features of bowel movements/ symptoms. This would be very useful in tracking IBD flares..LauraOfBaltimoreVersion: 4.81

Exactly what I was looking forI bought this app a few years ago and at the time thought it was merely ok and subsequently forgot about it. But rediscovered it when I needed to start a food/symptom/sleep/&c diary for a doctor and was delighted to find that it had evolved into exactly the app I wanted when I originally purchased it. Simple interface but comprehensive tracking capabilities without calorie counting or other nonsense. Well done..Herbert E TVersion: 4.81

HelpfulWith multiple food allergies causing a wide range of symptoms it is been hard for me to track which food is affecting me and which symptom is linked to which food. This app helps a lot. It was difficult at first to record and track foods and symptoms and to interpret the analysis. Eventually it becomes easier but at first it is a steep learning curve. Is this app perfect? No but it does steer me in the right direction and it’s easier than recording all this info by hand on reams of paper..Sunny's mom30Version: 4.81

Life saverI don't ever review apps, so that should say something about how great this one is! It's very easy to use and the reports are great for showing a doctor your symptoms! I wish there were more things in the database but that will come once more people use the app. I highly recommend for anyone needing to keep a food journal. I have tried COUNTLESS apps and notebooks but this is the only one that I actually kept up..Samm23Version: 4.81

So far so good!I really like this app because I’ve been trying to figure out a good way to monitor some stomach issues and my migraines. I love that with a few clicks, I can have my symptoms, intensity and so much else right there, timestamped for review. I use this along with a photo journal where I track my food, and between the two I’m covered so I can be healthier and feel better. My wish list is only to have a photo food log here, too. Aside from that I’m glad I got this..Linzee365Version: 4.81

Analysis function isn’t great but the app is still helpful!The analysis function tends to give me suggestions about what’s causing my symptoms that I know are inaccurate as they don’t occur every time, but the app has been great for my own personal use and working towards discovering food triggers.Rainbow readerVersion: 5.30

Incredible flexibilityLove this app. It’s the only one I’ve found that truly allows for the flexibility to track exactly what you’re going through. I love the attribution ability it has. They don’t mention it in the features but you can create custom symptoms (take not devs, I’m quite sure I’m not the only one that wondered about this prior to purchase). Super happy though. I’d love to see some minor updates to the interface but generally it’s been all I could hope for..NortronixVersion: 5.60

Easy to UseTried about 5 different apps as well as trying different ways to keep a manual health and symptoms log. Logging in a notebook was really inconvenient and changes or forgotten adds made a mess. All the apps had glitches, or were not intuitively useful, or were more complicated than needed, or just didn’t have the features I needed or organized in the way I needed them. This one so far has been all NOT that. Thank you..Jonelle-SVersion: 5.58

Very usefulI have only had this app for a few days but I am very happy with it. I have always tried journaling all this information (food, mood, BM) but I’m not always carrying my journal around or remember the specific times of events. This app allows me to easily record and is visually helpful in noting how each of these topics are connected.AngBspoonieVersion: 5.58

*Very* good appI’m using this app every day and it’s super handy. One small nit: I wish there was an easy way to find past meals so that I can copy them. (If I know I ate the exact same meal 2 weeks ago, I have to hunt for it to be able to copy it).JennsayshiVersion: 5.58

Well doneGreat app, easy to use, recommend linking in Heath apps to load exercising automatically.Fpani0Version: 5.22

AwesomeThank goodness someone finally made an app with statistics to help navigate the maze of trigger foods. I’m SO thankful. The only thing I wish is that you you sort results up/down or they gave percentages and that there is a way to make « almond » the same as « almonds » so you get better results, either way best their is available right now!!.Ms2857390Version: 5.28

Extremely useful app.I have suffered from IBS complications for years and have tried researching diets, keeping written notes and I had given up. This app helps me do everything in one easy place. It is extremely knowledgeable and I look forward to improving my symptoms..LPFSVersion: 5.25

Wow!! Fantastic app!Very impressed with this app. So easy to track foods and symptoms. I tried a couple of other free apps first and finally decided to buy this one hoping it would be better, and I was definitely happily surprised! well done!.Rivergirl222Version: 5.25

Love this!You have made this sooooo user friendly. Great way to track food, sleep, and symptoms!.PaschwarVersion: 4.81

Quick & easy to useProvides useful insights into cause and effect (FODMAP foods & symptoms, exercise), as you collect the data.RJM_2021Version: 5.22

Thoroughly ImpressedI’m actually amazed. I never thought I’d see an app that’s so well-designed. The interface is user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing, the User Guide and FAQ (within the app) are graciously written, and they even have a feature that allows you to email the developers directly to “suggest an improvement.” Never have I encountered (an) app developer(s) who cares so much about their users. I’m thoroughly impressed, and I’m eager to see what features they roll out in future updates. Great job with this app, and thank you for putting it out there..IsabellaKingVersion: 4.931

A Pleasure to useIt is so hard to keep track of your food intake but this app makes it easy. Plus you can record your symptoms and as they happen and look back and see what you ate the day before to cause these symptoms. Recording the type of bowel movement as part of the app is so helpful for IBS..MamaTam50Version: 4.931

Thank you for this App!Thank you so much for this app! I have had it and used it for one week. It is very easy to use and conveniently defaults your regular food items when you are entering what you eat so it is quick and easy to do. If a food you eat isn’t in the app you can add the bar code and details for yourself and other users of the app. This app has already helped me to identify a food I react to and am feeling better without it. The evidence and patterns this app track are so helpful. I wish I started using it sooner!.Lori A GillVersion: 4.931

Banque de produitVraiment pas suffisamment de produits listés pour éviter de pitonner tous les ingrédients des aliments achetés au marché. Sinon, l’application offre un excellent potentiel..JackaugazVersion: 4.931

Love this app!This app will be and has been very useful for me to find the foods that correlate to my symptom onset! When looking at the “report” section I thought maybe some of the analysis part of the app would be a part of it, but it’s not. So that was a little disappointing. Other than that, this app has exceeded my expectations, thank you!!.Withies5Version: 4.931

Useful, butI have used this app for a number of years and found it to be a somewhat useful tool, but after you have used this app for awhile, it gets a little frustrating that you can not group symptoms. Scrolling down a list is not very appealing..Elec2012Version: 4.93

PerfectionExactly what I needed to track diet, exercise, medication and supplements. I love that it simply records the data without judgmental ‘motivation’ goals telling you to eat more/less or whatever. It is simple to use, and simple to add items to the database. I really think this will help me a lot as my health practitioners are sorting through a few different diagnoses. Thanks!.ArtemisTudorVersion: 4.81

Probably the best in its categoryHas a bit of a learning curve and all the options can be a bit overwhelming, but is much more versatile than most other apps..RetrodictionaryVersion: 4.81

PerfectThis app is exactly what I needed. I wish I could add more categories for example blood pressure and glucose but I just add it under other , i love the ability to add notes..Pennycuts776Version: 4.81

Very usefulThis is the app I have been looking for in order to possibly find links between food and symptoms. Plus, I can easily make a pdf for my GP or acupuncturist so they can see a bigger picture. HOWEVER, i was disappointed to find that I can't enter data between my phone and ipad. So, choose wisely which device as you can't currently edit and add info on more than one device even with the app installed in both. App developers, please rectify this pronto. Otherwise, terrific and Would be 5 stars..JJlovestunesVersion: 4.81

Amazing! perfect!I love your app. It's is exactly what the doctor ordered! As a person with a chronic illness that is hugely affected by food, the combination of all the things you can enter is perfect! Thank you! :).Jet-82Version: 4.81

Satisfied as it does what I needThis app is what I needed to figure out what foods were causing my gastrointestinal symptoms. It works great for that simply because it's a diary of everything I eat. I don't find the analysis helpful because it doesn't make any sense to me. To print you send yourself a PDF and then you open that in your mail and print over wifi. The printout is professional looking, in colour, and it even shows your notes. I love the printout..MelanieonthedriveVersion: 4.46

Really like itEasy to use easy to track. I quite enjoy the app!.GilzumaVersion: 4.46

Good appUseful for inputting food items and symptoms, but am doubtful of the results provided by their analyzer. Still an efficient way to track though!.Jenn56678457Version: 4.46

Good appI like the ease of using it and the ability to scan foods. But really want to use iCloud sync..Fancy as they comeVersion: 4.46

Excellent App!!Excellent App. Easy to use. Great at tracking meals and correlating what you ate back to your symptoms. It at least gives "food for thought" to enable you to identify possible culprits. Happy with my purchase. Excellent job App Dev Team!!!.Happy fluffy cloudsVersion: 4.46

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 it'll make me more aware of what I'm putting in my mouth. Will write another review after I've 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 I've been able to record all the data required so I'll 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 I'll print out for my next appt. I am very grateful for and happy with this app! I highly recommend it!.OSoDeliciousVersion: 4.46

Easy to useI use this app daily. Very easy to use..No longer a zombie!Version: 4.46

ExcellentSimple 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..VespamumVersion: 4.46

Good appI 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..PACSFixerVersion: 4.46

Good appCould use more reporting/analysis options.Noel SempleVersion: 4.46

HelpfulThis 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..RiririririririaplovesVersion: 4.46

Not a bad app.The data it collects is helpful if you're trying to figure out what habits are causing which symptoms. Too bad there's not enough info in the program - you can't bar scan anything because there's no items imputed there. There's 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..Yamahagirl R6Version: 4.46

Pretty goodI like the level of detail I can add to this app, and really appreciate that there's NO mention of calories, which is rare in a food tracking app. However, I'd love to see a calendar view that shows patterns: how often you ate a certain food, what time your meals were, etc..ElenacpotterVersion: 4.46

Helpful with food sensitivitiesIt's easy to track your food, and symptoms,very helpful able to print out the PDF great feature..Kat269(v1.2)Version: 4.44

Super helpfulThis app is easy to use, after just a week of using it I can already see patterns emerging!.CCaufieldVersion: 4.46

Great app!Great way to track food and symptoms, tons of details. It's clear that the food and drink database is strictly added by users. It would be nice to not have to add a food to the database every time. A more robust database would be appreciated..EppsfamilyVersion: 4.44

MySymptoms Food Diary Negative Reviews

Wish I didn't get this appTried to find a food diary and symptom diary to keep track during my FODMAPs diet. This was the first one I found so I got it. DON'T PURCHASE THIS APP. The UI is VERY confusing, and took me time to figure out how to use. I had to manually enter every single one of my foods and supplements, because somehow their database didn't have basic items like Oolong Tea and Probiotics. I lost my progress a bunch of times because of the confusing UI (it slows you to enter another food at the same time as you're filling out fields to enter a different food. Totally unnecessary and just makes it confusing). The design on the check items makes no sense (you're only allowed to press the literal check, and not the entire line or the name of the food). The tutorial was useless an didn't help me get a first grasp on the usability of the app. SAVE YOUR TIMR AND MONEY and download Cara instead. I found it after not believing this **** is the best thing out there and was so surprised to find a good app for free to do the exact same thing. If the app developers want to get it together they should run a user group and hire a real UI/UX designer instead of trying to build an app without paying attention to the inbox and user. Boooooo..UghLinaVersion: 4.81

Disappointing from the startI really wish that I had read more of the reviews and just not looked at the overall rating. I downloaded this anticipating that it would be somewhat like my fitness pal or the like. Unfortunately the database food seems to be so meager that just for my breakfast alone I spent several minutes trying to type in various ingredients. Breakfast wasn’t anything crazy! It was a Starbucks coffee and a turkey bacon sandwich. The diary supposed to make this tracking of food and symptoms easy. Instead I’m spending a majority of the time entering ingredients. Very disappointed. Would not recommend unless the makers of the app are able to substantially increase the database of available food and ingredients. You’d probably be better served by making your own Excel spreadsheet and analyzing from there for now..Nbk2101Version: 4.81

I am not convinced it worksI was drinking a protein shake every morning with 3 or so ingredients in it and like clockwork, I’d have an upset stomach 30 minutes later. Obviously, it was something in my protein shake, yet the app missed it or claims those ingredients had a low chance of being the culprit. Aside from that, it claims “fruit” is my number one culprit for every single symptom that’s logged with “high confidence” but I’ve never logged “fruit.” I have logged frozen cherries, avocado, and banana- but all of those specific ingredients, while being “fruit,” show only medium to low probability. So I’m not even sure how it is coming up with that? The concept it great though and I hope over time, the algorithm gets better..Tpaul1987Version: 4.931

Barely usableSo clunky and barely usable- save your money!.ErinjzVersion: 5.58

Useless for any analysisCannot get any trending data and that’s why I need this and enter data multiple times every day! Been over a month and app still tells me there is insufficient data to generate any analysis! Forget it.Dame E.Version: 5.58

Crashes every time I open itI used to love this app, but now it crashes all the time..Reviews u can trustVersion: 5.20

Lacks product libraryHonestly none of my GF products that i’m eating show up when i search for them and i spend too much time inputting the information which is also cumbersome because there are similar products. this app needs more people inputting products that people eat in order to be effective. i just skip things because i dont have time to add the ingredients of a specific trail mix or we i’m eating. m i cant see myself using this app long enough to get information that would help me..CockBlockedByAppVersion: 4.931

NOT IPAD FRIENDLYI spent two days logging everything I could and then went to look at the results. There is a lack of functionality for my iPad. You also cannot login on different devices so once you start tracking on one system you are stuck using that one. I could not get any detailed reports. Had a good beginning but the dismount sucked..MishyBCVersion: 4.931

This app will make you sick with stressIf 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.Sirose2222222Version: 4.46

Good Idea Falls ShortThere 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 couldn't 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 don't understand the need for all the input options. Instead of 7 food/drink input options there should be 3, food, drink, medicine. I don't 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 isn't. 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 can't 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 what's the point!....DaleVersion: 4.46

No idea if it works properlyDespite 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 doesn't explain what to do..MatttKVersion: 4.46
