Ratings and reviews

The symptom tracker is particularly useful. It has the ability to warn you if you're overdoing it (I have long covid), but only with a Fitbit, even though it is capable of pulling historical data from Garmin. Would sure have been nice if it would do that for the Garmin watch I received from a study I'm participating in, which also uses this app.

This app works fairly well, however there seems to be issues with it connecting to my healthcare provider. It connected fine when I first set it up, but then when I went back into it, it reported an issue connecting. I try reconnecting and it shows a confirmation form from my healhcare provider that I click ok on, and then end up on a blank screen, but get a notification from my healthcare provider app that a connection has been established, as well as an email, but when I go back to this app, it continues to report that there's a connection issue.

This app doesn't have a way to add a Garmin Device. Only Fitbit and Google. The intro claimed it would work with multiple fitness trackers including Garmin devices. Not true. There was no "contact" or "help" in the app so if you didn't copy who to contact for help during set up, you are S.O.L. I don't know if the one through Apple Store is any better or not but I don't have an IPhone. Only Android.
