ME/CFS Diary Pro

Samsung j5. Crashed one day now all I have is a white screen. All that data lost! Waste of energy and effort which is not what you need when you have me/cfs.

Crashes, freezes, requires tapping at a certain place to get number, can't slide to it accurately so end up tapping everywhere in the hope i might find the right place. Emailed a complaint, no solutions offered, no upgrade fixing. Paid money for this so that's not really on. Rated two rather than one 'cause it's a great concept, and the design's great, just poor execution making it completely unusable.

I tried to use this as a energy diary for my GET appointments only to find that the downloaded information was nearly incoherent, why should I pay for a service and then have to put data into a spreadsheet myself? Sort it out.

There's a lot of things I like about this app. It makes me think about my syndrome in a different way, and I'm a big fan of recording things so I like that this app enables me to do that. However, it would be much better if it were backed up using some kind of account to store the data as I have twice lost data when I've had problems with my device. The ability to choose the start date of the diary would be great too, in case one wants to start on a different date.

Really easy to use and has really helped me understand what i am capable of. I'd recommend this app to anyone who wants to manage their symptoms and activities easily by sticking to their baseline. Thank you me cfs diary :)

Well worth the cost compared with the other apps.

I've been using this for a few months (on a Nexus 7 2 tablet) and I feel it's much better than a paper diary. For one thing, you can export the data to Excel and analyse it, so you can learn much more from the data than a paper diary (not that I've got round to actually analysing it yet!). The instructions on how to get the data from the email to Excel are very clear (on app website). I find it pretty easy to use and I like being able to see visually how I'm doing using the graphs and charts it generates. One person criticised it for only letting you keep the diary for a few weeks before starting another, but I actually find this a useful feature. It means that I can group my data by month, which is helpful to me as my ME tends to fluctuate with the seasons. It would be overwhelming to deal with a year or more of data, plus the charts wouldn't work very well. There are a few problems with it, such as the sliders being unresponsive and the app only working one way round. The baseline calculator currently doesn't seem to work very well either. I have given feedback to the developer though and it was very well received. They are keen to improve the app, so please don't be put off.

I love the idea of this app. I've had ME for 17 years and still struggle with pacing. Right now, it's only barely usable, loses a lot of its functionality due to appalling user interface (only works in landscape, tiny font, malfunctioning sliders, won't chart after 4 weeks) and you end up losing data when you have to uninstall and reinstall just to add new symptoms. It doesn't actually advise you on energy expenditure, just changes your baseline %. But it does help you see how much energy you've been using.

I admit that I wasn't sure about this app before purchasing it (thanks to the negative review left here), but so far I haven't found any problems with it. I can easily update it and change the data I've added; and am able to personalise by including different symptoms and my estimated baseline. And the graphs, especially the pie charts, are super helpful in showing all the data that's been accumulated so far. I feel this app has a lot of potential to become even more personalised (being able to change the time periods for example), but think that it's' well worth the investment for anyone trying to manage their chronic disability.

I'll use it to keep track of how much rest or activity I do each day, it's a lot easier than having to write on paper which is what I usually do. Also As I'm on my phone quite a lot I'm less likely to forget to keep filling it in.

I want a refund as it is unusable. Can't set the sliders. Some jump all over the place, some won't go above 10%, the percentage is not displayed or is wrong. The instructions on how to use it are minimal and should be available from any screen. There is no back button, when pressing the back button of the phone it just exits the app, instead of going to the previous screen.
