Ratings and reviews

As a doctor and a patient, this app is a great resource for feeling more secure when traveling (because I have all the necessary information in one place). I recommend it to anyone with a shunt! It is also great for tracking my day to day symptoms and my ever-changing shunt settings.

I was in love with the app but having lost the ability to list my pressure setting by number annoys me. I'm sure I'm not the only one who doesn't know which color to list under setting change.

Not sure. It's still a bit confusing for me. I was trying to find out more info about hydrocephalus, considering I was born with it(well I was a few days old or whatever when I had to get the first shunt placed and three when I had to get a second one put in
