The Tick bite app of the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM).

Features & Capabilities

Tekenbeet is the official tick bite app developed by the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM). It serves as an essential tool for anyone spending time outdoors, especially in green areas, by providing comprehensive information about ticks and Lyme disease. The app features detailed descriptions and images of ticks and their habitats, guidance on how to check for ticks on your body, and step-by-step instructions to safely remove them. Users can stay informed with current tick activity maps across the Netherlands and receive timely alerts when tick activity changes.

Additionally, Tekenbeet allows users to compare their own photos to tick images for identification and keeps a personal diary for recording tick bites, including photo documentation. Backed by scientific data and supported by natural organizations, this app is designed to enhance public awareness and prevention of tick-borne illnesses. For questions or suggestions, users can contact the RIVM team directly through the app's support email.

User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's useful concept for tracking tick bites and its improved functionality over time. However, recurring issues include malfunctioning tick radar maps, loading failures within the app, inaccessible media content, and difficulty retrieving saved diary entries. The app relies partly on desktop-optimized website components, which hamper usability on mobile devices. While some report the app works well, many find key features broken or unresponsive, limiting its overall effectiveness.

Pros

Good concept and useful for tracking tick bites.
App has improved and most features now work.
Some users find it a good and usable app.
The idea of having a tick radar and reporting system is appreciated.
Certain users report the app works well for them.

Cons

Tick radar/map feature does not work properly for many users.
Pages within the app often fail to load or freeze.
Images and videos (like 'removal of ticks') don't display or cannot be accessed.
Tick bite diary entries are saved but cannot be retrieved later.
App uses website parts not optimized for mobile, making some functions hard to use or impossible.

Recent reviews

Redelijk goede app. Kan erg nuttig zijn om het verloop van een beet te kunnen bijhouden, echter het "dagboek" kan je invullen waarna deze tekst en foto niet meer terug te vinden is.!!!???

De app is flink verbeterd, alles lijkt nu te werken. Sommige dingen kunnen wat gebruiksvriendelijker, over het algemeen een goed bruikbare app. Oud: Helaas werken veel dingen in de app niet; afbeeldingen zijn niet zichtbaar en vooral heel slecht dat niets van de tekenradar werkt. Er moet snel en professional naar kijken om het nog te redden, want het concept is heel goed.
