The best around!
This app has definitely changed how I think about managing my condition. It’s a tool that helps to really monitor and analysis trends in how I am feeling to ensure I get the support and care I need before anything major happens.

Highly Recommended
A really good way to keep track of things without any hassle, and an easy way to look back for any recurring patterns or trends in my health. Would highly recommend for anyone who wants an easy to use app to keep track of their IBD.

Knowledge is power.
This app gives you precisely that, power over your condition. With evidence based consultants and specialists opinions, not the regular Google search. It's an holistic approach to IBD which is fundamental for getting and maintaining it under control. And it's 100% free with no hidden premium options. I would definitely recommend!

Ratings and reviews

Like the new app. Much easier to use and great for tracking symptoms. The one thing I would like to see added is a food diary. Right now I'm having to use a separate app to track what I'm eating to try and find trigger foods and compare them with symptoms on two different apps. It would be a lot easier to see days where my symptoms were worse and be able to compare what foods were eaten in the past days or even have data saying when you eat X food your symptoms seem to get worse.
