About this app

Squeezy has been designed by chartered physiotherapists specialising in Men's Health working in the NHS.

It is suitable for all men who want to do pelvic floor muscle exercises (also known as Kegel exercises).

Having pelvic floor muscles that are working well may help prevent problems such as premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence.

The app is particularly aimed at men who are seeing a specialist physiotherapist for problems connected to their bladder, bowels or pelvic floor muscles, as it can be tailored to a specific exercise programme and set to remind you when to do your exercises.

It is simple to use, discreet, informative and has helpful visual and audio prompts to support your exercise programme plus it maintains a record of the number of exercises you have completed.

Features:
•Customisable exercise plan
•"Professional mode" to help physiotherapists set detailed exercise plans for patients
•Visual, and audio prompts for exercises
•Information and tips written by professional Men's Health physiotherapists
•Track and monitor your progress
•Write a short note after a completed exercise
•Bladder diary to keep track of your symptoms, if required
•Simple and clear interface

The app is UKCA marked as Class I medical device in the United Kingdom and developed in compliance with Medical Devices Regulations 2002 (SI 2002 No 618, as amended).

Ratings and reviews

The app is great for reminding and doing the pelvic floor exercises, but it's limited to only the Kegel exercises and not any other types. The reminders don't happen at the set times unless you are using your phone at the moment. Sometimes the reminder dings _while_ you are actually doing the exercises! But I'm grateful for the reminders and timers nonetheless!

Overall functionality is variable; timers are sometimes erratic and it's hit and miss if exercises are saved or not. Explanations and instructions are in small, light grey text on a white background & not resizeable and therefore illegible. Some text refers to female genitalia; sloppy QA. Other, free, ad-supported apps are as good if not better. And why am I paying for an NHS app?l

Useful app so long as you contact BBUK (Bladder & Bowel UK, who recommended this app to me) - they will send helpful pdfs describing the exercises in much more detail than in this app. Old reviews say they can't read the app - this has been fixed now, as I have poor eyesight but no problem reading it. As other reviewers have said, there are quite a few details where the app could be improved, but they are all minor points. Is their anger really about their condition rather than the app's flaws?
