Need help with Gut Buddy? Email YOUR_SUPPORT_EMAIL and we'll get back to you, usually within a few days. Please include your iPhone model and iOS version if you're reporting a problem.
How do I add the Home Screen widget? Long-press an empty area of your Home Screen, tap + (or Edit → Add Widget), search for Gut Buddy, and add the small widget. Tap the widget to log a check-in without opening the app.
I tapped the widget but the log doesn't show in the app yet. Open the app once. Widget taps are picked up and added to your history as soon as the app starts.
How is my daily water goal set? It is calculated from the weight you entered. You can change your weight anytime in Settings, and the goal updates with it.
How does the streak work? A day counts toward your streak when at least one log that day is in the healthy range (Bristol type 3 to 5). Missing a day resets the streak to zero.
I'm not getting the daily reminder. Check that the reminder is on in Settings, and that notifications for Gut Buddy are allowed in the iPhone Settings → Notifications → Gut Buddy.
Why did the app show a health notice? The notice appears when what you logged matches a common warning sign: blood noted in a log, severe pain, no bowel movement logged for five days or more while you kept using the app, or a noticeable drop in weight. It is not a diagnosis. It suggests talking to a doctor and shows what to share at your appointment.
Can I change the language? Yes. Gut Buddy supports English and Vietnamese. Switch in Settings → Language.
Is my data backed up or synced? Your data stays on your iPhone only. There is no account or cloud sync. It may be included in your regular iCloud or computer backup of the device.
How do I delete my data? Go to Settings → Delete everything. This erases every log, weight, and setting on your phone and cannot be undone.
Gut Buddy does not collect any data. Read the full Privacy Policy.
