myCircadianClock

Surprised that coming out of the Salk Institute this app would be so archaic and not user friendly. I’m sensitive to nnEMFs yet using this app forces me to connect to the Internet for every activity logged. Oura Apple Garmen and several other tracking devices record and store data and allow the user to log data while not connected to Bluetooth, WiFi or cellular data. This is a non negotiable for me, having to wake up turn on my WiFi and stare at blue light from the screen before I get outside for sunrise? This app would make me more sick!

This app is just a free way for you guys to collect data with out paying focus groups. What’s this app for? I came here because of Huberman to track my fasting time. Why are you asking about my specific foods? There’s no calories tracker next to it? Sleep: I don’t like the dial. I wake up to input my sleep and it’s for tonight. There’s no option to back chart.

My apple health has all my nutrition, activity, and good sleep tracking, my medications and so much more. But I’m only asked to share my step count and that is nice as a minimum. Now I have to put it all in again for this app. I want the benefit so I eventually will. But I know apple health will let me share it with you if you would just ask. There’s history too. This is just going to be a slower start than I hoped.

In addition to fiddling with the bug I describe below, I also took the time to write the following report from the apps built in “contact us” method. When I tried to submit it, I repeatedly got an error message saying to try again later. In general this app has been frustrating to navigate. As a personal developer myself, it feels thrown together. Here’s the bug description I tired to submit: “The app has a bug on iPhone were we cannot always log sleep in arrears. Even for correctly entered dates and times, the app incorrectly reports that the start time must be before the end time. We also cannot use the circular slider on the app to input time in arrears, as the app will wildly jump 3-4 days ahead if the start slider passes over 12 AM. Very annoying bug! Also, is there a good reason the text boxes in this application don’t allow for the typical aids, such as automatically starting sentences with capital letters, etc?” I expected more as I know Dr. Pandas lab behind the research is widely acclaimed.

The app acts like it’s operating, but it’s not. All the food entries ended up as pending items even though the message was received that synch was successful. The days counted up to 15 but the Clock and Reports didn’t generate. Instead a message was received that the information wouldn’t be available until the baseline history was entered. The baseline is supposed to be 14 days so that’s a bug. I don’t know how other people have gotten any value from this app. I read the book and thought as much effort went into the software as the book itself. There’s no value to this app at all because you can’t even review your entries for the baseline period. It’s a complete waste of time. You’re better off with a pen and paper.

Signed up, never got a confirmation email to verify. Doesn’t seem to be managed.

Not able to receive an activation code and register for an account for some reason. On iOS 17.4.1

After hearing Pam Taub speak about the program last week at Rancho La Puerta, I couldn’t wait to download this app and begin. Unfortunately, after answering all of the required questions to set up an account and entering my email address, nothing happened when I clicked submit. I also checked my email (junk folder too) to confirm that no code was received as well. My husband is encountering the same issue on his phone. Is this app still functioning? Please help!

It is impossible to easily navigate backwards if you live a busy life and cannot log everything real time.

Overall this app looks good and works smoothly. I like how easy it is to log your meals. I was curious to track my eating and sleeping habits and eager to contribute to the research. However, the app does not read my sleep data or fitness activities from Apple Health. I am unable to manually enter sleep data getting an error message that tells me to select my perceived sleep quality. But there is no option to do so. I am not going to use the app without an easy way to record sleep data (I am not willing to start my sleep tracking manually each night since my watch already tracks my sleep). Hopefully future updates will fix this issue.
