I’ve been battling IBD for years, and this app is truly a lifesaver. It makes it incredibly easy to log every symptom, track bowel movements, and stay on top of medication schedules. The AI food logging feature is brilliant—no more guessing what I ate last week, and it’s been super helpful for spotting potential triggers. The detailed symptom tracker means I actually remember what to tell my doctor, and being able to see flare patterns in real time is such a relief. I love how intuitive and well-designed the interface is—clearly made by people who understand IBD inside and out. If you need a reliable companion to keep tabs on your health (and remind you to take your meds!), this is it. Highly recommend to anyone managing Crohn’s, colitis, or any form of IBD. Take care of those flares!
Game changer!!!

It took them a year to diagnose me with Crohn’s disease so I try to advocate for the people who are going through similar situations. I wish I would have known about this app sooner. I have tried the food diary and I just had trouble keeping track of everything. This app makes it so easy to log what my body is going through on a daily basis. I love the feature where you can snap a picture of your food and it can show you possible triggers of what you are eating. It also makes it so easy to log all of my symptoms and I like to log things as my body is going through them even if I don’t feel well it is so easy to do! Love the app will be recommending!
Developer Response
Thank you for sharing that, and for advocating for others going through the same fight — that means a lot. So glad the app makes logging easy even on the tough days, that's exactly the point. Thanks for recommending us! 💚
An amazing app!

As someone with Ulcerative Colitis, I love this app so much. It helps narrow down what is causing flare up in my gut. I have a hard time recognizing the patterns so with this app doing it for me I can help avoid the foods that don’t make me feel good. It’s such a life saver and wish I knew about it sooner. The one thing that I wish was added on the app is in the medication list there isn’t an option for enemas. There’s only oral medication, injections, and infusions which is great! But there’s a disclaimer that says please put your medication in accurately. Which I am unable to do considering an enema medication isn’t taken orally or by injection or infusion. Once that is hopefully added it will be perfect for me!

Hey Cool game smurfs,Thanks so much for your awesome feedback—I’m really glad FlareCare is making such a positive impact for you! Your suggestion about adding enemas to our medication tracking options is a great one, and we absolutely want our app to reflect real-world needs.I’ve already noted this improvement and we’ll prioritize adding it soon. If you have any more suggestions or need help, feel free to email me directly at josh@flarecare.io.Thanks again,Josh from FlareCare

I wasn’t sure about this app at first because I’ve been through so many that are still missing certain things that I need to track with my disease. And finally getting a free trail just to see how helpful it truly is I ended up subscribing and using it to this very day. I absolutely love how many things it allows you to track with your disease it makes it very helpful communicating with my doctors and moving with the next health plan as well as being able to track every lab results , Bowel movement, food and a lot more important things with this app.
Developer Response
Thank you so much, Rheanna! Really glad it's helping you track everything you need and making those doctor conversations easier — that's exactly what we built it for. Appreciate you sticking with it and taking the time to write this. 💚
• Easier food and drink logging: drinks are now measured in fl oz or ml, and after a barcode scan you can type any amount and switch units.
