WHAT USERS SAY

The best around!
This app has definitely changed how I think about managing my condition. It’s a tool that helps to really monitor and analysis trends in how I am feeling to ensure I get the support and care I need before anything major happens.

Highly Recommended
A really good way to keep track of things without any hassle, and an easy way to look back for any recurring patterns or trends in my health. Would highly recommend for anyone who wants an easy to use app to keep track of their IBD.

Knowledge is power.
This app gives you precisely that, power over your condition. With evidence based consultants and specialists opinions, not the regular Google search. It's an holistic approach to IBD which is fundamental for getting and maintaining it under control. And it's 100% free with no hidden premium options. I would definitely recommend!

Not connected to my hospital team

Although the app is free to users it is not free to Hospitals and my Team at Royal United Hospital Bath are not connected because it is too expensive apparently . I’m not sure what’s the point of continuing?

An Insight to My Care

Just some improvements around bugs and glitches. Being able to delete previous medications and edit when you started them (same with the appointment book).

I’ve made a couple mistakes and I would like to have the most accurate results on my app to help my team if the time was needed for them to access this information to help me but also to help me keep track of my very difficult condition.

Overall I truly appreciate the NHS taking their time to build an app for this community to help support them and keep track of their day to day developments. It means the world that we are being recognised!

Could be more useful

I was on the crohn’s and colitis website and it mentioned this. I was really wanting something to track my food diary and symptoms and show any links so I can manage my symptoms and flares, but this isn’t it. You record stool samples and it reminds you of appointments and that’s about it, apart from some videos which are fairly standard.

It’s very clearly to collect data which is fine and I’m happy to help but I just don’t see what someone with IBD gets from it if they remember their meds and appointments.

It’s a shame it’s such a missed tool for sufferers

Developer Response ,

Hi, thank you for your feedback, we appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us. Although we do not offer a food diary at the moment, we do have a notes section that you can use to log any additional information that you want to track on a specific day. Our video library is constantly expanding as we continue to update and develop the app, we hope that the content we continue to share can be helpful for you. We also offer courses in the paid-version of the app that may be of use to you - if you have not used your free trial period yet, we suggest you try it out so that you can see what our courses offer! This app is designed to help you live a happier and healthier life and we appreciate the feedback as it does help us develop the app to meet your needs. Our stool tracker was developed and released as a result of feedback like yours! If you have any more feedback or questions, please feel free to contact us at info@ampersandhealth.co.uk and we would be happy to chat further with you. Sincerely, Ampersand Health Support Team
