| PROS | CONS |
|---|---|
|
✔ Free to use. ✔ Includes educational materials developed by MSAA. ✔ Easy-to-use interface. ✔ Detailed symptoms and wellbeing questions. ✔ Graphs and reports for sharing with caregivers and healthcare professionals.
|
✘ The app’s usefulness depends on consistent self-reporting. ✘ Detailed symptoms and wellbeing questions may feel repetitive or time-consuming for some users. ✘ The interface is simple and may feel basic compared with other health apps. ✘ The app uses a predefined list of medications and free-text entry doesn't appear to work. While it doesn't specify which regional naming system it follows for medication input, it appears to use names commonly used in the United States.

Clinical review
Reviewer: Sarah Wang, Pharmacist
Date of review: December 2025
Platform: Apple, Android
Version: 4.9.2
Comments: My MS Manager is a practical, MSAA-developed app that helps people with MS organise their symptoms, treatments, and wellbeing in one place, while also providing access to educational materials. Its detailed tracking and questioning features allow users to identify patterns over time and gain insight into their condition. However, users should be aware that some treatments mentioned in the educational content may not be available in New Zealand, and the app is intended as a supplementary tool rather than a replacement for professional medical guidance.
Safety concerns: None.
New Zealand relevance: Yes the app is relevant to a New Zealand audience but some treatments mentioned in the educational materials may not be available in New Zealand. My MS Manager app has a predefined list of medications and free-text entry doesn't appear to function. Additionally, the app does not explicitly specify which regional naming system it follows for medication input, but it appears to use names commonly used in the United States.
