Not for me, I'm afraid too much one size fits all .Everyone is not the same total waste of time. I don't know the cost, but it's certainly not worth a penny, in my opinion .

Total waste of time and no doubt tax payers money via the NHS. First thing the app suggests is that you fill out the survey. I clicked the button to start, and I got the message - Can't load page. I was reluctant to download the app to start with, especially considering I've had 9 previous surgeries and never needed a 'Surgery Hero' before. Should have listened to my gut. Needless to say, the app was deleted.

Absolutely dreadful, pointless and irritating. Setting goals are contrived and a total waste of time. All I want is information and for me to decide on how to implement that which is relevant for me. Cannot easily find messages from my coach.
