Ratings and reviews

The June update has made my journal experience worse. The common activities are gone. The number of days since the last journal entry are off - always for activity - and there is no more daily notification. I didn't rate the app previously, but had I done, it would've been at least a 4. For some reason, it's now stopped saving my sleep into.

It's not the easiest to navigate and doesn't have a calendar to track/ predict pattern. App just collects symptom data on a graph, but without the connection to time wasn't helpful for tracking or predicting patterns. It has two places to track symptoms, not sure why. The sleep tracker was not customizable enough. Uninstalled.

The Fact Sheets are amazing!! It is difficult to create an app that covers all the complexities that we deal with, w/ hormonal shifts. Some suggestions to add; medication tracking, & being able to custom add symptoms. I also want to suggest that it feels like some of the way symptoms are listed are not as bad, devastating, & difficult, painful that they actually are. For ex, "hot flashes" for me feel like my body is killing off individuals cells with heat and laser rays.
