Chronic Insights

I have tried so many different apps to keep track of my symptoms and this is the only one that clicked with my brain in a way that made it easy to remember to do. I keep it up to date and check in a couple times a day. I can visualize the fluctuations better with the graphs, and I love being able to export them to print and show to my doctors. I haven’t tried premium yet, but this app is seriously amazing and the only thing that clicks with me. Plus I love how many options there are for disorders, there’s a lot on there that you don’t usually see in apps like this. I recommend this app to all of my friends, and they all love it too. The custom symptom feature is also really cool, since there’s a very wide range of symptom experiences that aren’t included in the actual symptoms list yet! Thank you for this app, it’s wonderful.

[Edit] After response from developer, I've revised from 2 stars to 4, taking one star away for minor issues. This is still an awesome app deserving of 4 stars. The lack of device sharing is a considered trade-off for privacy that I can support. Thanks! - I really wanted to like this app, it is such an awesome concept. Unfortunately after spending hours setting it up I discovered several issues. Random crashes 3d modeling not functional during 14day trial, forcing one to sign up for the subscription just to test the functionality. This is not documented. Unable to edit colors after use in the 3d modeling. Minor convenience issue. Lack of documentation... this app is not as intuitive as it could be, making it frustrating to use. Fatal issue - Installed this app on an iPad Pro (ios16.x) and signed up for the subscription to be able to test the 3d aspect; expecting it to replicate to all other devices as is now usual practice for apps. It installed on my iPad mini but not my iPhone. After several hours of setup, discovered that this app and the subscription are only functional on the first device. So now the app has to be deleted and the subscription cancelled, then re-installed on a single device. This is a fatal problem. Need this on an iPhone for the Watch functions, but use the iPad mini for data entry, which seems to be impossible. Further, the subscription cannot be edited or cancelled until after the trial period. Love the concept of the 3d modeling... and would willingly pay the subscription fee if the last issue can be resolved.

I switched over to Chronic Insights from MigraineBuddy because C.I. offers more thorough and easier ways of marking down pain and tracking symptoms with the 3D modeling, but I also need the ability to share the data with my doctors as I’ve done with MigraineBuddy. Problem is, the export feature never loads the data. I’ve gotten it to bring up the available data points once to select for export, but it crashed the app when it tried and hasn’t done it since. It also doesn’t appear to have an option for exporting all data types, which is a problem when you’re using the app to not only track your symptoms and flare-ups but also provide your doctors with the information so they can better help you. Please work on making the export process run smoother and contain all available data points and notes. If this feature isn’t refined and updated, as much as I love it, I won’t be able to continue using it as it gives me no option to successfully share the data with my care team. It may sound small, but this is a huge thing. Please fix the export feature to actually work correctly and consistently. And if this feature is a subscriber-only option, that really will be a let down as it’s something that is necessary for anyone using this app, or any app that tracks chronic pain and medical conditions. Thank you.
