I liked it better than Mayo. It lets you give more in-depth information about the symptoms you have.

Female, 20s

I always like coming to Ubie when I have a multi-symptom problem. I have a hard time recognizing symptoms sometimes, and Ubie asks questions that help include them.

Female, 40s

Ubie symptom checker hit the spot right away. While answering the simple questions, I'm impressed with how there are multiples to choose from, and most of them relate to what you are looking for to get a diagnosis. This app has treated me multiple times—an A++++.
