Bearable - Symptom Tracker

I really like this app. It’s provided me with a thorough inventory for my physical health and mental wellbeing, and it also syncs with Apple apps e.g. the Health app. It highlights trends and provides insights about correlations between factors when they increase, decrease or stay the same, and their impact on other factors such as your mood, or sleep quality. One last thing: this app actually supports and motivates you to enter data, which is helpful if you are the type to hit snooze on important apps you download and pay for. One way to improve the app is to create a graph that demonstrate these insights, like Apple’s Health app, as it will look more medical.

Really good

It’s cool, it gives me graphs of my symptoms and it’s a good app to use that can present my data to my doctor

Very helpful. Though I do sometime wish they’d stop tinkering with it. The correlation grid no longer identifies which symptom correlates to which factor (as it used to) so it’s not much use now unless you just check one symptom at a time. You can do this I guess but it’s more work.

I really regret paying for this. 1. App is an incredibly confusing interface and almost impossible to navigate, the analysis sections in particular are incoherent 2. You cannot track periods which seems bizarre given half the population has them. You can log them but they just vanish into the general mass of data with no clear way to retrieve them. 3. The app only logs correlations which makes most conclusions totally useless (for example it logs acute meds as harmful as they are taken on flareup days) 4. The app is inaccessible for disabled people as the interface is so badly visually and logistically designed and overcomplicated. The features are not clear. I will be looking for another app! Don’t waste your money!

Really fantastic easy to use tool to track correlations and look at data around all aspects of health to work out what habits and interventions are helpful vs harmful. The data surprised me, the visualisations are great and it is an invaluable tool when communicating with my healthcare team to understand my symptoms. I have endometriosis which is a complex systemic disease involving lots of areas of the body- being able to give consistent data to different professionals involved in my healthcare has been beyond helpful. The only danger is maybe over analysing or collecting but what I love is the app does the analysis for you - all you have to do is track what is happening. It takes some time to figure out what’s useful to know vs not and you have to consistently track to get good correlations. Correlation doesn’t mean causation and I think the app developers could include a bit more guidance on interpreting this data in the future. I wouldn’t be without it, even a year after my last surgery! Now I track a lot less than I did pre and post op but it’s so helpful to see positive trends over time during a months long recovery.

Had tried a few apps as I’m new to having chronic pain & so found this app to track everything and it’s great! Especially seeing what can help or make symptoms worse etc. I paid for premium but it’s totally worth it! Even the free version which I had for a couple of weeks worked great! Couldn’t ask for more! Xx

I use this app to track symptoms of my psoriatic arthritis and spot patterns. I think it has been developed very well and would suit most if not all chronic conditions. The customisation and features are very cleverly implemented and it’s simple to use and effective.

I’ve included my original review below, but I’m editing because when I got a response saying it is free, I went back and if you just close the boxes asking you to pay, you still get access! And it’s really good access, you can edit so many parts of it to make it work for you, so I can track pain in specific joints, I can set very specific reminders etc. A lot of tutor functions I didn’t even realise it had until it been using it for a while. Maybe it’s just me but there we are. So yes, I recommend 👍🏻 I downloaded it, set up an account etc and then it said I could get 7 days free and after that it would be about £30/yr.

I was looking for an app that could capture the variety of lifestyle and nutrition factors that could be impacting my symptoms, which are a mix of neurological and gastrointestinal. Bearable lets me track everything I want and has the flexibility to add factors — then look at patterns between them and your symptoms. Really appreciate that, and the intuitive experience!!
