Users appreciate its flexibility and design that support complex tracking beyond once-daily entries. However, some report app lag or crashes when data grows large, watch app usability issues, and the paid lock on key features like body mapping which is heavily marketed. Navigation can be confusing for some, and more robust export options are desired. Overall, it is recommended by many for its depth and thoughtful approach. ### Pros - Highly customizable and detailed symptom tracking, allowing tailored entries including pain mapping and multiple factors. - Excellent developer responsiveness and support, with frequent updates and user-requested features added. - No ads and a considerate paywall that does not disable core app functionality, making it accessible and respectful for users with chronic illnesses. - Comprehensive tracking options including medications, mood, triggers, and the ability to track fluctuations throughout the day. - User-friendly design that helps users maintain consistent tracking beyond traditional paper methods. ### Cons - App experiences lagging or crashing when handling a very large number of entries, causing usability issues. - The watch app component is problematic, especially when tracking more than a few items, with overlay issues and connection problems. - Certain premium features, especially the body map, are locked behind a paywall despite being heavily marketed in the free version. - The interface can be confusing, with multiple tabs and no central large add button, which some users find difficult to navigate. - Limited export options, such as PDF export only showing chart views without more detailed summaries or customizable layouts. ## Similar extensions and apps - [Symptom Diary: Health Tracker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.filiptomasiewicz.dzienniczekobjawow) — 21 users - [Symptom Tracker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.czikoapps.symptom_tracker) — 3,475 users, 4.87 / 5 - [Chronic Illness Tracker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/chronic.illness.tracker) — 2,492 users - [My Med Journal](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mymedjournal.mymedjournal) — 24 users - [ChronoTrack Health](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.equalinformation.chronotrack.app) - [Chronic Companion: Health Log](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.theovanniekerk.chroniccompanion) — 56 users - [Symtraq - Symptom Tracker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.symtraq.app) — 246 users - [Sjogren's Tracker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.sjogren.tracker) — 2,706 users, 4.19 / 5 - [Symptom Tracker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/symptom.tracker.track.symptoms.journal.diary.checker) — 9,808 users, 2.63 / 5 - [SelfInsight Autoimmune Tracker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.selfinsight_rn) — 1,897 users, 1.89 / 5 - [Vitals Chronicle](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.heiligbasil.vitalschronicle) — 9 users - [Multiple Sclerosis Tracker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.glitchlab.multiplesclerosistrack) — 6 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.chronicinsights)
