GI Monitor App Reviews

This app has been integral in my recovery...keeps me honest!! Easy to use, but could use more detailed descriptions instead of just three for my BM type...like a 1-10 scale would be nice. Or maybe thats too detailed?? Or incorporate Bristol Stool chart instead of solid, mixed, loose, etc., and have corresponding detail of blood and urgency.

I do not have severe issues like Crohns, but I do have IBS symptoms/issues. This app along with LoseIt in which I track all my food intake really helps identify patterns and foods that cause me issues. You cant manage it unless you measure it and this app really helps.

Useful app with good features

good app to record basics, to monitor progress or deterioration in ones symptoms. even more intriguing is the socialization feature which arguably opens the door for frank discussion of the sometimes harsh and unspoken realities of IBD. this does come with the occasional classic social media creepy crawlers ie lonely attentions seekers, and other wanton belligerent types; but net net it fills a void where there has been too little discussion about this hidden and complex disease. for those battling crohns or ulcerative colitis and perhaps other related gi conditions, come join the community and learn more about what can be done to help yourself and others along the way. enjoy the ride as we like to say!

I highly recommend this app

This is seriously a great app if you are someone who suffers with IBD of any kind. A great tracking system for you that can be individualized for your own unique symptoms. There is also an area for users to socialize & get support from fellow IBD ers.

This is a well designed and useful app. Easy to input info and keep track of symptoms. Would recommend!

When I first joined this app, it was totally supportive and now not so much. Kinda disappointed.

Excellent tool to track daily habits. It becomes an invaluable addition to the management of chronic conditions such as Crohns disease. Allows you to identify areas that may aggravate your condition and do something positive to correct them. Very useful!

Bad app if you got an iPhone 5 c

This app is extremely helpful and easy to use. When my GI asks for details, I can now state how many times I use the bathroom per day, what foods might be upsetting my digestion, etc. Its easy to record all my symptoms including things like joint aches. The best part is the social aspect. I now have people to talk to about tummy issues! Yes, my family and fiancé listen but its nice to talk to people who are going through the same thing. If you have any type of chronic GI issues, get this app now. Theres no reason no to.

I cannot get app to accept my doctors name which I cannot use the app. Useless for me!!!

App has a lot of great features for tracking diet and symptoms. Very helpful for someone recently diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. Would highly recommend!

This app is a great way to track everything we need to track from meds to BMs and the food we eat. I love the socialization part, it really makes me feel supported.

Not sure whats wrong with this app, but I give up. It didnt want to accept my correct email address, so I gave it a secondary address instead. Then it requests lots of detailed information (does it really need my complete birthdate?) before I can actually use anything, but wont work when I try to enter the requested info. It looks useful, but its too user-unfriendly to actually use. Ill try again when Im less annoyed and perhaps edit my review. For now, its a definite no.

Id love to try this app; if nothing else, it looks like a good place to socialize with other IBD patients. But like other reviewers discovered, GI Monitor wont work on my iPad. You cant do anything until you enter personal info, which is in itself an issue: I can understand needing basic info like name and email, but why is my religion required? Worse still, the app keeps freezing on field after field, forcing me to restart it and then, only accepting the default value. If I have to enter incorrect information in order to use this app, then it isnt for me.

Good place to keep records of meals and BMs.

I installed it, but I cant even complete my profile because the UI widgets dont work. For example the DOB widget has my birth month grayed out and I cant pick my month. The height widget wont dismiss and I had to kill the app. Basically an awful UI. Unusable.

I have IBD & was diagnosed a couple years ago. Saw the app & compared it to others. Look the best but its performance lacked. Pop ups would make me power down device & restart, once screen went from upright to panoramic it would not switch back without restarting device. I had to restart my phone several times to finish the normal settings required to use the app.

The social network component is nice too, people are very helpful and supportive.
