Beta test qualitative analysis themes with illustrative comments.

Theme	Concept	Selected comments
The app is useful	All care partners found the app to be useful in multiple ways, including reducing their anxiety by focusing on the fixed number of survey questions, as well as serving as a learning tool and raising their level of awareness.	Finds it very helpful. Helps her not to worry and eases her mind. Helps keep things in perspective - she focuses on set number of questions, not a huge list. I thought the measurement of mental health was helpful. It might help avoid depression. Well, I think it's easy to use and to understand.
Add functionality to the app	Care partners suggested that the app should provide specialized information and contain an open-ended notes section.	Especially if more types of information could be added to this app that I can use other than general Information about caregiving. Would be nice to have a box where you can put notes in - especially about the survivor.
Care partners are focused on survivor health	Care partners remarked that the surveys contained too many questions pertaining to the care partners rather than focusing on survivors.	I want to focus more on the cancer patient because that person is the one who needs help, more than the care partner. Actually, I would rather focus more on the cancer patient myself.
Care partners need more feedback	Care partners noted that they would have liked feedback about their survey responses.	It would have helped me to know that someone on the end is monitoring my responses or I could receive a response back when I did things on the app. It would be better if you could receive some kind of report back of what the measurement means, especially about patient’s health and stress level, depression, exercise.
