Headache Diary Pro for Android
This application helps my doctor know exactly how I've been doing without having to try to memorize everything. Improvements could be made. PDF aspect needs a little improvement. Needs to be cleaned up, organized better and display am & pm for times. Also, a dark theme option would help; looking at a bright white screen is horrid when you have a migraine. Having an option to rate each pills effectiveness would be less confusing. Get rid of the 24 hour limit, Mine can often last up to 48 hours.
The first time I have been abline to track my headaches consistently. Only four stars because you have to stay within their framework of choices. For my conditionu much of it is not relevant and there is no place to input additional choices. I am sure this app is sensational and perfect for most head pain sufferers.
Love all the different chart options. I would like to see the option to add more than one type of medication at a time, rather than having to go back and make two entries. Backup didn't work when I switched phone, lost a lot a data.
My only complaint about the app is that I have to make a separate entry for any change in my headache. For one day, I may have the entries if severity or location changes.
This app is a nice change from what I was doing before, which was a word document. What I really like is that I can generate a precise document for my doctor, and it is easy for her/him to see how my migraines are affecting me. The only thing I need now is a way to add/delete headache types.
Needs a bit more flexibility with options. Legends on charts almost impossible to read as they are too small. When adding medication the time doesn't register what is entered correctly and just defaults to current time.
This helped, makes tracking of Clusters and miagranes and silent miagranes and there symptoms an meds so much easier. keeping track of the various information is hard when your is so much pain. I'd like to see improving the length minimums (3 in a day)for 30min each. different types altered for clusters for picking up the seasonal changes etc. Other than that it's great.
Unlike some headache apps which go into too much detail, this one is simple, and easy to use when you actually have a migraine. I wish the headache list wasn't in American date format though.
This is so extremely helpful for me & my doctor. I love how I can modify the medications of what I take, the location of my migraines & personal triggers. This is a must have for anyone who suffers from chronic headaches/migraines.
I use this app to track and report my headaches to my neurologist. It is great for my needs, except I need a way to store my history. If something happens to the device I'm using then I cannot access my history of headaches.
Never a problem! Only suggestion is to keep records in sign in for changing phones. I could access a year of headaches except by printing them out
This handy app has helped me and my doctor determine a possible cause of my resurgent migraine headaches, which had almost disappeared from my life until three months ago. Now we're chasing causes down and trying different medications to alleviate the pain and, hopefully, stopping the migraines in their tracks.
This is an easy to use tracking app however I had never backed up my data and my phone got water damage so I lost all of my data. 2 years worth of headache tracking gone. That made me really, really mad. It should be something easier like a sign in so that backup isn't needed manually. I tried turning my old phone on just in an attempt to extract this info because it was so important to me and my neurologist and I couldn't. I know it's my fault for not backing it up, but it would be nicer to just log in.
Makes tracking headaches simple. Great to use when working with your doctor to figure out causes and frequency. Pro is worth the money for the customization. I use Google rewards and easily earned the credit for it fast. I would recommend this app to anyone with headaches.
Overall this app is good, just a couple of modifications I see that could be made. At present I can type notes it at the end, but that can become tedious. :) It would be great to select multiple locations of pain- my HAs frequently present in the left neck/back of head, left eye, and often the left temple. One other adjustment would be to add more "affects," such as sensitivity to light/sound, dizziness, tingling in extremities. Otherwise, it's a great app for tracking headaches.
Best headache tracker I've used. Additional features making it 5
I have been using this for several years. Very easy to use, even when getting a Migraine. Has given me much better insight into triggers and patterns. The pro version allows me to add additional triggers and medications. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to track headaches, their triggers and medicine effectiveness.
I have gone through two new phones and both times I was able to recover all data and sync it without losing it. It has helped me to pay better attention to all aspects of my chronic migraines.
This is wonderfully useful. It helps me compare my headaches which have been chronic for years and usually occur twice a day. The calendar and especially time and medication help me to know when I am due meds and keeps an accurate account of medication amount and frequency.
I've been using this app for years. I just wish that the medicine list was like the triggers list and you could "hide" meds you no longer use since you can't delete them.
This app is great for tracking migraine headaches! I only wish it would track multiple day migraines instead of treating each day as a separate event.
Outstanding in most respects. The only problem I have is the limited medication list (no way to expand it), and it's difficult to see the block of headaches--for example, it would be easier if they were in calendar form. But overall, they have thought of everything, and it's a HUGE help to have this app! Very grateful for their expertise!
Wish I could put the different types of migraines I suffer from at the same time. Or maybe I'm missing something. Either way a great buy, but you must keep up with it.
I just lost 9 months of med logs because the backup feature did not function. I regularly did manual backups, but they failed to actually write files. Too bad it does not save to dropbox. I will be looking for another app now
Pros: ability to track headaches severity, medication type, and potential triggers. Still tracking after a year. Patterns are emerging. Con: the tracking by time for one event does not span multiple days. Most of my headaches last 2-3 days. But the tracker shows three headache events, when I really oy want to track one 72 hr event.
I am now able to accurately track my migraines. This app will be the difference in me guessing what my triggers, etc. are and knowing what they are. It will be THE TOOL that ultimately helps me treat and prevent my migraines effectively. I am truly grateful for this app.
This app has been a huge help in recording information about my migraines. It is easy to use and convenient. I especially like having the ability to generate reports to take to my doctor's appts. The doctor and staff at my clinic were very impressed.
Would like to be able to check auras and other symptoms that would make it 5 stars for me. But I love the ease and stream line of this app when I am in migraine mode I can enter quickly and deal with treating the pain.
..and easy to use. The reports are incredibly useful too; I provide these to my doctor as they are monitoring my migraines :)
It is so nice to be able to track my migraines. Although I have yet to get into the habit of keeping track of my migraines.
This is so extremely helpful for me & my doctor. I love how I can modify the medications of what I take, the location of my migraines & personal triggers. This is a must have for anyone who suffers from chronic headaches/migraines.
Makes keeping a headache diary much easier
Easy to use. I'm able to track all the info about my headaches & compare them.
I wish they could somehow tie it to the local accuweather so it would record the weather and pressure for that day to, other than that it is an excellent app
Awesome tool for cluster headache sufferers. Thanks
Great app. I have been using this app for over 3 years.
App is easy to use and to customize with details of migraines. The ability to email a report/summary of recorded migraines is very useful. Charts show data to help you pinpoint any patterns or triggers. Love the app!
Totally useless app if your migraine last more than 24 hours.
Great app, easy to use & very helpful in tracking migraines/headaches & triggers. Does need 24hr limitation per migraine removed as if pain persists past that have to do 2nd entry for 1 event, so does mess up tracking somewhat for those whose migraines can last at least a day if not several. Also needs side effects record list as they can differ per event. And meds entry lists of not just taken at time but also daily preventative meds for those taking them. If had those, definitively would rate 5 stars!

I have gone through two new phones and both times I was able to recover all data and sync it without losing it. It has helped me to pay better attention to all aspects of my chronic migraines. However, year later and new phone, back up data didn't transfer. Emailed for support since I have back up data, but can't figure out how to import from csv file to app. No answer yet, been weeks. Support subpar.
