PCal - Poop Tracker,Calendar

I have struggled with gut motility issues for a long time with the only reason I thought being my ED. However, I have been in recovery for a few years now, and I only go about once a week. In the beginning I was deeply concerned because I was experiencing a lot of blood and harsh constipation but I was going about 3-4 times a week. Then it started to go down to what is currently one time a week. I started using this app back in 2023, which has helped my doctors and I so much, especially with its data analysis features, the ability to see the time intervals, associate symptoms and ADD YOUR OWN!! If you struggle with any gut issues, PLEASE use this app, because it truly is an amazing resource. Thank you to the creators of this app. I will say that I have never used the photo feature out of fear of it somehow being shared but even without the photos, it’s still a very powerful tool. :)

My daughter has encopresis and so we needed a way to track our daughter’s BMs for her doctor— when I showed this to her GI specialist she was impressed and even said she would be recommending it to her other patients. Has everything we needed: Bristol numbers, time, pictures, notes. The calendar view is especially helpful to get a quick feel for trends over the months. My only very tiny complaint: I made a few labels to quickly take notes and these don't come through in the export. Developers: can you find a way to fix this? Also, in the analytics, would love to see some graphs over time (I.e. Bristol number over time— we are gradually trying to get her Bristol number down to a 4, would be nice to see this trend). Lastly, would be even better to be able to track meds/supplements (exlax, fiber supplements, etc) in this app— and have these overlaid with the trends. I use a different app to track and have to correlate them using exports.

I don’t normally write reviews, but this is niche need and I thought a review might help those like me needing g a way to track their bowel movements. This app is by far one of the most useful I have ever downloaded. I appreciate how easy it is to use and how much information it helps me keep track of. I have been able to determine my patterns and have been able to link my diet more to my digestion. My favorite feature is probably the Notes option, which I fill in each time, but I also really like that the app tells me immediately how long it’s been since my last BM. I have had a form of IBS-C for years, and this app has helped me see clearly what medicines work and how they change my digestive patterns. I upgraded to the premium version and can’t wait until my next doctors visit when I will have a treasure trove of information to share—I know it will inform my doctor better and help me stay on the right treatment plan.
