What does the app do?

The mySysters symptoms tracker app is mainly an app to track symptoms associated with menopause. The app also has a social forum section and an information section. Overall this is a very basic app with some safety concerns. For a more detailed review, see Reviews

PROS CONS 

 Basic symptom tracking (free).

View blog articles written by non-health professionals (free on the website, paid in the app).

✔ Menopause forum (paid).

Expensive at NZ $15.99 a month.

 Some concerns with the articles:
 - No apparent input from health professionals.
 - Many opinion pieces with varying amounts of medical information. The medical information is generally accurate but often incomplete.
 - Some may find the articles offensive due to the extensive use of colourful language and ranting nature. However, this may suit other readers.

✘ Some concerns with the forum:
 - It doesn’t appear to be moderated.
 - It is not very active, likely partly due to the cost barrier, with around 60-odd threads of varying quality.
 - There are no date or time stamps.
 - There appears to be little benefit of using this over a social media group such as a menopause Facebook group.

 The tracking feature is poor compared to other apps, eg, you can’t view any graphing within the app, you can’t add custom symptoms and there is no medication section.
