Visible: Pacing for illness

App is very well done, and helps me to better understand my body and how certain events affect my current condition. Bonus request: Would be awesome if Visible could directly access health data like HRV from my Garmin watch/ Garmin Connect

I really don’t like the update! Now it’s only the one day you can see and you have to click on it and then a calendar opens… It was WAY better before, when I could see the last days, and also could see if I missed a day!!

Nach 3 Monaten Nutzung kann ich sagen: die App hilft sehr im Alltag mit Long Covid. Durch die regelmäßigen Updates wird der Morning Score (April 2023 noch in Beta!) stetig verbessert. Auch jetzt hilft er schon sehr bei der Einschätzung der eigenen Befindlichkeit am Morgen, um den Tag und das Pacing dann gut planen zu können. Sehr hilfreich ist die tägliche Eingabe verschiedener Symptome, Medikamente, Überlastungen usw. Diese können individuell angepasst werden. Auch eine Notizfunktion gibt es, die man z.B. als „Krankheitstagebuch“ nutzen kann - beides hilft ungemein, um sich an Zusammenhänge zu erinnern und zu verfolgen, was gut tut — und was eben nicht. Alles in allem eine sehr nützliche App, um das Leben mit Long Covid oder ME/CFS besser in den Griff zu bekommen! Danke an die Entwickler und auch an den tollen Support (gut erreichbar und antwortet extrem schnell), weiter so!

When I saw this App I was very interested as I have CFS. It doesn’t mention ‘in App Purchases’ so I thought I’d give it a go. I’m happy to pay for in-app purchases but I wasn’t planning on spending £75 on an armband along with a minimum £10.99 - £14.99 a month subscription. Unless you subscribe and wear the band the App is virtually useless. All you can do is record your pulse from the camera and manually record how you’ve felt on a variety of questions. I already use Apple Health, a Withings Scale, Monitor my blood glucose levels and blood pressure with a variety of Apps which all share with Apple Health. This App doesn’t share anything or collaborate with any of my other health / monitoring Apps. Naively I had hoped to that an ME/Long Covid/CFS etc App would do a little more to inspire me on the free version so that I might be tempted to pay for the ‘not cheap’ membership. Quite pricey ‘in-app’ purchase. I’ve had a Whoop and that didn’t include blood pressure or blood glucose which I think are rather important gauges of health. Sorry to leave poor review but I was hopeful of something good to make me positive about my metrics unlike other apps that remind me I’m not achieving the best I can.

Absolutely amazing app! I have been using this for a long time now and can see from the tracking my improvement over the months. I am able to pace myself so much better and am now able to work part time. Now looking at getting the armband. Thankyou for developing this app!

I’ve been using visible for 3 months now and I don’t know how I got on without it! When I’ve gone way over my pace point budget (spoons) for the day, and I’m so fatigued the next day it makes sense, and helps me to stay within my budget so I can get back to my normal baseline! The only thing it doesn’t do is track your sleep, which I have a Fitbit for anyway so it’s not an issue. You can still also record how you slept, whether it be awful or great. I will continue to use visible and I can only see it improving from here. We need to spread the word for all our chronic illness friends out there and shout about the benefits of visible!

I've been using this for a few days and noticing it is definitely helping HOWEVER the only thing I don't like is that I can't connect it to my Apple Watch as this constantly monitors my HRV so this would be easier then remembering to do it each morning, I understand you can buy the strap for £75 but when I already have something that can do it I should be able to connect it

Having the Visible app and arm band has helped me track my energy levels much better.

This app is amazing for tracking illnesses, works very well for pacing etc. customer service in app is amazing, both great responses and speedy response times!😍

I’ve just been using visible with the armband for a few days and generally I’m enjoying using it. However I believe certain factors affect my heart rate which I cannot feed into the date collection. Also I would like more information about the significance of the breathing measurement.
