Bowelle - The IBS tracker 4+

This App is very adaptable / Thank You

After a year of use, I decided to adapt the perimeters to more fully focus on whole Brain - GI tract. This allowed me to home in on such things as Brain - GI; Body Tension; Sleep Loss; Brain fade; Gut Pain. Which allowed me in turn to get a more complete, overall picture of the gut problem effects on the rest of the body. This proved invaluable when using the summary Reports section to provide, summary information to the doctor to save time, thus money, during health assessment. More importantly to finally get to the bottom of my gut problems of many years as both doctor / patient were on the same wavelength by looking at gut problems in context of rest of body / other medical concerned.

All my data got deleted after months of tracking

I’ve been using this app since March of this year and yesterday it stopped working. I kept trying to load it and it just wouldn’t load. I went to the App Store to see if I needed to update it and it didn’t have update or open but ‘get’ I already this app downloaded from March so I could track everything for my ongoing health issues (not just for my IbS but also for my acid reflux which was really bad at the beginning of the year) so I decided to try deleting the app to see if this would rectify the issue and it told me my data wouldn’t be deleted. It didn’t rectify it so I restarted my phone then I could re download it only to find everything gone. I am beyond annoyed as I was keeping log of everything I could eat that wasn’t giving me adverse reactions and now all that data is lost. I was keeping it for doctors appointments - if you are doing the same thing don’t bother with this app as it will let you down like it did for me!

Developer Response ,

So sorry to hear that this happened to you. For privacy reasons, the app will not keep your data on any external servers unless you choose to enable iCloud syncing. Hence deleting the app without iCloud enabled will also delete your local data. If you did enable iCloud, you can restore your data (menu -> settings -> data & security -> restore from iCloud). However, under no circumstances will you be informed that you can delete the app without deleting your local data. Where did you read this?

This is the first time I hear of anyone getting this problem but if anyone else would ever come across this, do NOT delete the app. Instead get in touch with support at feedback@bowelle.com.

Great app for anyone with this sort of problem ❤️😂

This app has really helped me keep track, and I love how you can create more than one thing to keep track of such as periods or even sleep. It’s a convenient and very handy app for anyone that is having trouble with this sort of thing! And also this app HAS NO ADS it gives you the option to go premium down below but it does not constantly pop up! Also for anyone who wanted to write a review about this sort of thing but didn’t.don’t worry nothing to be embarrassed about lots of people struggle with this sort of thing not just you!
