Ratings and reviews

So I contacted you in August or September about the fact that the day count on the tracker calendar is a full day ahead of where I live, which is in the US. I was getting email updates about the progress of this on your end but I haven't heard anything in about a month now. I'm glad there's been an update but sad that the issue wasn't resolved too. I hope that it's still being looked into and will be in a future update. I really like this app a lot because all of the features are free to access.

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.

Been using for about 9 months but not sure it's worth it. No way to download all the data I've entered so it's impossible to get a picture of trends and triggers. The health report download will only use the ratings you enter when you generate it, not the data you've been entering into the app on a daily basis. The graphs also consistently show my severity as Low - not correct. Flagged this to the team twice to no avail. don't use if you want to get a detailed picture, no better than paper diary
