Ratings and reviews

A bit helpful, but seemingly abandoned by developer. Great that it's entirely free w/no paywall/premium. UI is rough on light or screen sensitivity (no app dark mode&ignores system dark mode). Symptom tracker should be daily or at least wkly, not monthly. Good potential, but probs lost funding or outlived a research study. Would be nice to see this picked back up again and some improvements made.

I'm sure this app is helpful for people with very limited resources and knowledge of concussions but the title is deceiving... It doesn't really coach or help teach much in the way of post concussion syndrome/symptoms. One piece I quite liked is the 22 question scale to rate your symptoms, but this should be daily and then show a log of symptom ratings ... Interface has too much white and hurts the eyes

This app is easy to use, informative, clean, and helpful. The user interface could be improved to navigate the journal entry, but the app's simplicity is its greatest asset and I like the use of audio cues to limit screen time. A dark mode would be really nice too.
