Ratings and reviews

Incredible app to help those with chronic illnesses, well set up with good options, and you can personalise everything to suit your needs. Would definitely recommend using it to share with health professionals, especially for those with 'invisible' illnesses. Extra charge for the 3D symptom tracker (which is still cheap), but otherwise, download and give it a go. Easy to export data to a pdf or other form of document. So glad that I found it.

This is the only app you need; the creator knows 100% what it's like. While dealing with his own chronic illnesses, he's made life easier for us, too. Marking your pain on the skeleton is great for those who can't journal for long due to arthritic hands, or maybe brain fog gets in the way. Also, the pdf option to print out is great for GP and specialist appointments..

I discovered this app a few days ago and so far am liking it. However, my only complaint is that I'm having trouble linking the app with my Dropbox account so I'm unable to back my data up - when I click the 'allow' permission in Dropbox it takes me back to the Chronic Insights app where nothing has changed (i.e. it still asks me to link with Dropbox).

What’s new

- Bug fix: spreadsheet export sometimes creating corrupted files
