Bearable - Symptom Tracker

This app has already been a huge help in managing my PTSD symptoms, it’s great to see that even on tough brain days the bad doesn’t last for ever, and it’s an amazing way to see what works and what doesn’t to help me feel better- can’t recommend enough!

I’m very happy my therapist recommended me this app. I’m 19 and have an autoimmune disorder and mental health issues and I tend to just ignore my symptoms and deal with it but it is nice that I can review my progress and aim for positive goals. Just give it a try!

I was about to investigate ways to design my own chronic illness app until I found Bearable. It does exactly what I want and is so customizable. I love how easy it is to input important health data and remove things I don’t need to track. I highly recommend even if you are only tracking a few key symptoms.

Have been absolutely loving this app. It’s extremely useful for someone with undiagnosed chronic illness(es).

Excellent for tracking lifestyle and symptoms. It is especially helpful with tracking my auto immune issues. I highly recommend it. I am also very grateful it is affordable.

I’m new to Bearable and have used it for one week. While I love bio-hacking as a concept, I have had difficulty tracking symptoms due to increasing health anxiety as I age. The older I get, the worse I feel physically, which in turn impacts my emotional wellbeing. It’s been difficult to face these challenges alone and I was pretty resistant to using Bearable when I first began because it has SO many metrics to keep track of. While this is a plus of the app, I was concerned it would be too overwhelming for me to learn. Fortunately that wasn’t the case. So far I’ve found it very easy to use and I truly appreciate the levels of tracking (low detail, medium detail, and high detail). This “low bar" to entry and the helpful tips built into the app helped me overcome anxiety and avoidance as I endeavor to improve my overall health. Easy, not stressful to use, and I can start slow and build up to tracking more details at my own pace. 👍 I also liked the well written privacy policy. It is difficult to know which apps to trust with my private health information, but after reading through their privacy policies I feel reassured that Bearable is trustworthy. I feel more empowered to take care of my health each time I check in with the app. Thank you Bearable team!

I live with debilitating pain. It changes all the time, almost daily. This app is helpful because besides helping me track my symptoms, it is a way to voice my symptoms. This is very helpful mentally and emotionally! Thank you.

I tried to sign up via email, but the keyboard would not come up to input a password. Definitely not a good start! Could not even copy/paste a password in.

Can’t create an account if the keyboard doesn’t pop up when you try and type in a password. Why tell me to contact you again. I’ve reported it either fix it or don’t. I’m not going to spend my time holding your hand to support your app.

This app is very dynamic, and it’s getting more and more so. You have many options of ways to handle tracking your health. The devs are kind and helpful and so interactive with the community. They ask for feedback on designs and ideas and listen when people ask for certain features. This is the best health tracking app I’ve come across in my years of searching. As a minor suggestion for the devs: Since your app’s strength is how many ways it can be used, there are some little changes that would increase that greatly. - Allow custom rating systems for symptoms and other things. (e.g 1-10/3-46 or whatever other number scale versus a type in option versus an emoji option etc). You already have all of these features but only certain features can use it (only heath measurements can use type in, only symptoms can use 1-4 etc). If all the features that it makes sense for could be customized as to what they’re using the app would be much more dynamic. - Allow us to customize which features we use. (Think strategies/features from Amazing Marvin). This would be become more useful as you add more things so it doesn’t clutter the homepage of the people who don’t care for certain features. This one is more difficult but I think it would help a lot as I know you get complaints about the homepage setup sometimes: -Allow us to further customize our homepage. I would like to be able to group things together that aren’t necessarily from the same feature. (e.g. put a health measurement and a factor in the same group, or a symptom and a medication etc. rather than having all factors together and all custom ratings together) This would allow us to create a custom process for logging as well as a design that we personally like.
