Clinical review
Reviewer: Judy Ormandy, Senior Lecturer in Obstetrics, Gynaecology & Women’s Health, University of Otago, Wellington
Date of review: April 2024
Platform: Apple
Version: 1.2.168
Comments: This app allows you to track your symptoms along with providing some information about endometriosis and treatment and management strategies. However, you have to pay for ongoing use and I believe there are other, free, apps that serve a similar purpose. This information is available online for free, but the app provides one way of collating it all together. The online reviews describe frequent glitches and bugs although the app functioned smoothly when I reviewed it.
Safety concerns: You need to provide your name and address to register to use the app. Information isn't shared with third parties and data is apparently not collected routinely.
New Zealand relevance: Yes
Concerns: While not specific to Aotearoa, the information is relevant and appropriate.
