Bearable - Symptom Tracker

La sto testando da pochi giorni ma avendo provato per anni app simili posso dire che è davvero fatta benissimo! Mette insieme tante funzioni che di solito troveresti in app diverse, il vantaggio è avere traccia di tutti i sintomi in un’unica app e questo riduce drasticamente la fatica. L estetica fa tanto per me in questo tipo di app e questa è davvero bellissima e super intuitiva. Complimenti!

Perdi 20 minuti a settare le impostazioni e le preferenze e solo allora scopri che l’app è interamente a pagamento dopo 7 giorni gratuiti. Cancellata immediatamente. Vorrei mettere 0 stelle ma non si può. Basterebbe rendere chiaro da subito che l’app è a pagamento, così è una truffa.

Bearable is excellent. It’s so incredibly complete. I haven’t tried the full version with all the tracked and mapped associations yet but for now I just need to keep track of my complicated daily symptoms and medications. It’s easy to use despite the fact there are a hundreds of options and settings. It’s extremely intuitive. The only thing that confused me a little is the “symptoms groups”. I can’t seem to see why this exists. I figure it’s to simplify finding a symptom but once you use them it feels like the symptoms are harder to find since they don’t seem to show up on the main list anymore. Not sure, maybe I’m missing something there.

this app is really helping me notice a pattern in my mood swings which is incredibly helpful for therapy!

Highly customizable. Once you get it set up, it’s so useful. Fabulous. Highly recommend.

I really want to like this app; however, the 6 hour time blocks is insufficient. Perhaps you could just use timestamps instead of blocks of time periods? Edit: I’ve updated my review based on the quick and thorough response from the app team. Thank you - I think that’s reasonable.

I use Finch and that helps me a LOT, but it’s missing the real tracking aspect so I can see and share my general mood and symptoms, Bearable is a fantastic edition for my mental health wellness journey, it’s not fully free if you want to pay for more features, but the free version does have a lot of helpful tracking tools

I love that Bearable collects not just symptoms but also what might be causal data that might help you understand your symptoms. How well you slept, what meds you took, your mood, how much water you drank, for example. I do wish it wouldn’t track the items you don’t put in on the days you don’t enter them rather than counting it as zero. For example if I didn’t track my amount of sleep one week, I wish it wouldn’t create a skew in my overall data that makes it look like I hadn’t slept at all that week. Putting in “zero” should not be the equivalent to putting in nothing. Otherwise, I’m happy with the app and so grateful for something that charts the data for me.

I recommend Bearable to all my friends interested in trying to keep track of data or new interventions. It’s great for both physical and mental health and overall wellness. The team is so dedicated to what they do if you run into any glitches. It’s nice to be able to provide concrete data to a provider when trying out a new intervention. It’s also great to keep track of lifestyle influences. I tell everyone about it!

I got this app because I’d heard it was good for managing chronic illness. And it very much is! Bearable has already helped me make some correlations that have improved my quality of life— things I wouldn’t have noticed on my own. But within this mission lie several functionalities that I was previously using multiple apps to attend to. (And it was becoming unwieldy! There comes a point when you’re spending more time setting up and updating apps than actually living your life, especially if you have some sort of executive dysfunction.) Bearable offers a multitude of functions that other apps offer as their *sole* function (and charge large monthly fees for). And it is so entirely customizable that you can track all of your health issues in its single interface. Sleep patterns, pain, GI issues, energy, cognition, mood, allergies, heart issues, menstruation or menopause, weight loss, body measurements, hydration, dietary habits and suspected troublesome foods, exercise, autoimmune or eczema flares— anything you want to track, you can, along with potential influencing factors (again, customizable). And if it has a corollary in Apple Health, you can have the entries sync with each other. I also really appreciate the optional inclusion of what many other health apps leave out— social and lifestyle factors such as being outdoors (and the weather), time spent with friends/ partner/ family, screen time and video games, alcohol and caffeine intake, and any custom habits you suspect could be having an effect on your overall wellbeing. The yearly subscription fee is totally reasonable for this all-in-one bundle of functionality. There is a dedicated subreddit where the developer participates and is very responsive to feedback and suggestions, and where the enthusiastic user base makes it clear that this app has improved the health and lives of countless people. I’m so grateful that I found Bearable.
