Read the presenting clue.
Each case opens with the chief complaint and patient demographic. From there, clues reveal in clinical order: history, exam findings, vitals, then investigations.

One case.
Six clues.
One diagnosis.

You always learn the diagnosis and the symptoms behind it, plus a few things you didn't know about the condition. Come back tomorrow for the next one, or stay with it.

How it works
A new case, every morning. Always six clues.
Built around the diagnostic reasoning you already do, compressed into a single, satisfying daily ritual.

Guess the diagnosis.
Type to search 1,200+ diagnoses, then submit your best differential. The right guess wins the case. Wrong guesses file to your ruled-out list, with six ending the round.

How cases are made
Every Symptoms case is written by a practising clinician and independently peer-reviewed before it's published, across internal medicine, emergency, paediatrics, obstetrics, and surgery. Cases are fictional — a puzzle, not a clinical tool.
Frequently asked
Questions, answered.
Who is Symptoms for?
Anyone can play. Symptoms is built around real clinical reasoning, so doctors and medical students use it to keep their skills sharp, and non-clinicians use it to learn how conditions actually present. Cases are pitched at internal-medicine speciality-trainee level, with a mix of bread-and-butter presentations and zebras.
It is educational, not a clinical decision tool. Cases are fictional and must not be used to diagnose real patients.
Is Symptoms free?
Symptoms is free: the daily case is supported by ads, either relevant to you or from medical sponsors.
If you'd rather not see ads at all, Ad-free removes them. Symptoms+ removes them too and adds the full archive, unlimited cases, speciality filters, and detailed write-ups. Both come as a monthly or an annual subscription, and the current price for your country is shown in the App Store before you buy.
When does the new case go live?
A new case goes live every day at midnight in your account's time zone. Play any time during the day; once it rolls over, today's case moves to the archive.
Where do the cases come from?
Cases are written by practising clinicians across internal medicine, emergency, paediatrics, obstetrics, and surgery, then independently peer-reviewed before publication.
Do I need to verify I'm a clinician?
No verification needed. Symptoms is open to anyone who wants to play.
Is my data shared with advertisers?
Your guesses, scores, and case history are never shared with advertisers. We store them in our cloud only because the service needs them.
On the free plan, your iOS Advertising Identifier is shared with Google AdMob to personalise ads, but only if you allow tracking at Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. If you don't allow it, no identifier is shared and you see non-personalised ads instead. On any paid plan there are no ads and nothing is shared.

When is it launching?
We're targeting an iOS launch in 2026, with Android to follow. Join the waitlist at the top of this page to hear about the launch.
