Ratings and reviews

I loaded this to my phone for a hot second. I want to love it and I'm guessing it's in its early stages. It has very general health issues. Heart issues are limited to events and not any precursors, like high cholesterol or anything you can keep track of previous to an event. I think that this is a great start to a potentially awesome app but it just didn't have enough for me to keep it more than 5 minutes. it did not have what I needed. I uninstalled immediately.

I wanted to love this app. But it was missing some VERY common medical conditions. Allergies of different types, Migraines & Fibromyalgia to name a few. I understand not having rare conditions listed but without being able to put a comprehensive history together it makes this useless. At least there should be an "other" option that allows you to fill in the info for forgotten or rare conditions. You also can't add great-grandparent/aunt/uncle which is unfortunate since they play a huge role.

Does not allow for all medical history to be entered. There are some familial diseases such as myeloproliferative neoplasms and peripheral vascular disease that are not options

What's new
