Overview

LivingWith is an app that attempts to offer support for cancer patients and loved ones. While one of the primary objectives of its design it to help organize information, dates, and experiences, some believe the app fails at being user-friendly. Undiscoverable sharing features and frequent crashes have been reported. 

Feed and Share

The app’s main feed provides available updates and sets the stage for positivity through daily motivational messages. The app allows users to send invites to friends and family. Users can also enter their zip code and request assistance with tasks such as rides to doctor appointments. 

Tracking

The tracking feature provide pattern recognition for recurring moods and pain. Health data such as sleep and activity can be obtained by syncing with Connect Fitbit, Google Fit, or Apple Health. Individual displays and reports are created to increase user understanding and to be shared with healthcare professionals. 

Notes

While organization seems to be one of the app’s lacking abilities, it does offer a notes section. Here, users can input questions and set reminders to ask them at doctor appointments. Medication info, insurance, and test results may also be stored here.
