Updated - Better, but still too US-centric
In the interests of fairness, I have revisited this app following information that it had been improved. The issues facing the UK are too huge to document here, but the need to have complete information on your own health away from the doctor’s surgery system cannot be understated. Hospitals and Primary care are not always linked and this is the focus of apps like this. Your health history is your property, and you need to be able to access things quickly and accurately. In this respect, this app has had improvements made. Putting documents into the system is easier than before and finding them again is better. Copying between iPhone and iPad is OK, but it is not seamless and you do have to remember which device had the last backup to the cloud if you are not to risk losing the latest update. There is a subscription available for this although at this time, I refuse to pay for subscriptions unless there is a clear and justifiable benefit. The developer does respond to feedback so there is more hope that this will get better and this review will be updated. In summary: this is now worthy of trying out for UK and some EU patients. You cannot download directly from primary care or secondary care systems in the UK, but you can import emailed data. ORIGINAL REVIEW: This was an app loaded as a recommendation following the termination of another health app I had been using for a number of years. This app is based on a US-centric model, but it has so many limitations and bugs that it hardly qualifies as a “release” product. Everything uses lower case entries making it look cheap. The currency is hard wired to dollars. Entries get screwed up so you end up with no date or missing vital information. The colour of the backgrounds alone makes it hard to work with. No sync. No companion app for your PC. The iPad version just makes the inadequacies bigger. Sorry to say, but this simply isn’t worth the bother. Between this and nothing, I would advise you to go with nothing.
