I downloaded it, but didn't find it useful.

Tried it but it just made it harder to not focus on the RA ! Made the RA higher profile so a bit of a downer ?

[oldtimer]

I tried using it for a while but it made me feel more depressed focussing on my symptoms every day. But it was a good way of keeping a record of what was happening and did make me realise how much I just accept disability.

[Mmrr]

I do use it , but find it does not transfer the scores you record every day onto the graph, which isvery annoying at times.

I did try it briefly but, as others have said already, I found it made me concentrate too much on the RD. I am more than my complaint

[AgedCrone in reply to Gnarli]

Exactly.... no matter how rough I’m feeling I don’t really want to dwell on it & write about RA 24/7!

[Hidden]

I tried it and not for me. I try to focus on life and staying positive

[Kerensa21]

Nope, for all the reasons listed above but have kept records before & not found at all helpful because it’s an unpredictable disease & little you can do changes that.

There are 2, Rheumabuddy and 'Know your DAS'. I use Rheumabuddy more and its graphs are fab. Very useful for my nurse appointments. The socual function is pretty pointless but the logging is good. (Has a reminder function too) Heads up, you have to slide the markers and not click on the score

I've used it for a while and because you have to score your pain, stiffness, mood and fatigue daily it does make everything more "in your face" and conscious rather than subconscious on a daily basis.

I started using it on my old phone when it came out - early last year I think. In late June I got a new phone but I still have to use my old phone because the data won't transfer to my new phone. So if I use my new phone, all my old data is gone. Extremely annoying!

I contacted the help desk last July and every 2/3 months I get an email from them. But it's still not resolved.

Given that I was using it to keep a record, it's really annoying that it's not a mobile record as I can only see it and add to it on that one phone.

Responses on this one seem fairly negative MJBH. Are you still going to give it a try?

[Mr_Judge_Benny_Hinn]

Errr, No....

I find it rather disappointing that RB is the best they've got...Maybe an app has limitations helping people cope with a disease...

[RheumaBuddy]

Highly recommend the use of this Business Model Canvas for mobile app! The Business Model Canvas, I would say that the purpose of the Business Model Canvas is that it’s providing a simplistic approach, in 1 overview you can draft the whole business mobile app idea.. clockwise.software/blog/how...
