✔ Very high quality information- users can be confident that they are accessing well-presented and highly researched information.

✔ A lot of opportunities for variety- in terms of exercise types, meal plans and types of education.

✔ Great options for tracking across many metrics.

✔ Volume of content- hundreds of hours of content directed at health.

✔ Opportunities to connect in with community.

✔ Both through the FAQ section, and what the authors have identified in their videos, they do a good job of identifying specific questions related to a cancer diagnosis. The content is presented in a way that users could feel very confident to make a start on their health journey in a safe manner.

✘ Accessing the app: to get a log in, currently this needs to be done via an external website. This is fine as an option, however it is not well explained on the app front page at the moment, which can cause confusion. It is acknowledged that the creators of the app are looking at changing this.

✘ Volume of information: There is a huge volume of very high-quality information in the app. It is acknowledged that the sheer volume of content may be overwhelming. In future, it may be helpful to have a ‘how to get started’ or ‘key introduction videos’ to start with.
