Ratings and reviews

A easy to use app. I live with frequent chronic pain, so having this to help keep track is nice. My suggestion is if you could update multiple times in one day, and could look at them individually for comparison, instead of lumped into one record. I think that would be very helpful for patients and doctors.

App doesn't save notification settings if I go to change them in the menu. There's no space to write notes for each day, not just the positive thought of the day at the end of the questions. I would have liked to place a note next to how bad the pain is in case something happened in particular that day.

Can be stressful when having to repeat to my doctor, medical professionals affiliated with the app, & give notes on the app itself. The weekly survey isn't as pain focused as I'd like. App required multiple updates that were necessary for continued function of the app. With someone like myself, constant ill from many sources like pain, panic & sleep disorder & severe anxiety, the app itself can worsen that by asking for updates daily when nothing has changed. The Modules are unrealistic a lot.

What's new

This release fixes an issue where scheduled appointments showed the wrong time during daylight savings.
