Migraine Buddy - The Migraine and Headache tracker for Android
This app has helped me reduce and manage my migraines within weeks. I love the attention to details like triggers and environment, and the relief tracking. The pop up that says kind things is cute and makes me smile. It will say feel better soon or you have been migraine free for X Days. The color scheme is helpful not bright so it is easy on my eyes.
Have been using it for months and I've never had any issues or bugs. You can add your own personal symptoms, medications, and triggers. The chat room is very polite and understanding. You have the opportunity to record in depth entries into your migraine diary. Extremely helpful for tracking your pattern and showing your doctor if you have gotten better or worse. Definitely a must-have for those seeking to better understand their triggers and migraine pattern.
This is day 2. I use it for both migraine and narcolepsy. There are MANY appropriate choices for you to keep track. If you need different symptoms than what is listed, you have the option to add your own. This app is very thorough. A lot of thought and planning went into this. I've had no adds and no glitches. The reminders are wonderful and helpful. Thank you, I was worried about how I would keep track of all that was happening for my doctor. This is making it so easy.
This is an extremely good app for documenting migraines. I wish there was one like it for pain tracking. It allows you to select options by buttons which is visually helpful when you can't process words during a migraine. The information is then processed into a PDF document you can share with doctors and who ever else needs it!! I am grateful for a extremely functioning app that is for free! Thank you!!
I just started using this app for my severe migraines I get. Very user friendly, explains everything, and will start showing me my triggers along with a lot of other information. I really feel like this app will help me out a lot and help my doctor as well. I have been using the Migraine Buddy for a while now and still love it. It is always asking about my day or if I am having a migraine it tells me to feel better soon. So cute!! This app has really helped my doctors and I to help to determine what might be causing my migraines or what triggers them. Thank you Migraine Buddy!!!!
Absolutely love this app. I get migraines daily and this has really helped me keep a diary of symptoms relief methods and things that I never even thought could trigger a migraine. I haven't found one flaw with this app. It even has a tab in your notification bar to remind you to track when your migraine ends. Really helpful
As someone who's suffered from migraine for 13 years and knows most of my triggers, I was skeptical on whether or not this app would be useful. However, the UI is fantastic (great job!) So I'm excited to see how it can help me better manage, particularly around my sleep. However, would love to see integration with Fitbit or MyFitnessPal to be able to track food and identify things that I don't know are triggers! (And Fitbit to auto pull my sleep in.)
While I appreciate this app, I feel like there is a long way to go. My doctor can't find any information on if this is hippa compliant, so I cannot legally export the information to him. Also, as you can edit it as many times as you want, I have yet to find a way to edit the medication to show how often I takebit. So if my migraine is a week long, it shows I took my med once the entire duration.
I adore this app. Helps me keeping track of what could cause my migraine, what works against it and my (terrible) sleeping patterns. You can even put a timer to see when you took a pill and when you can take the next one. The UI is so detailed yet amazingly intuitive. The flow of the app is smooth. Whoever did the UX/UI is/are damn genius/es.
Initially I was looking for a way to track migraines. This does so much more, it tracks triggers, other sufferers in my area and it is super easy to share the info with my doc. There are support groups for meds and even the lastest help updates....a comprehensive tool for any migraine suffer. I feel supported and understood.
Love the app and easy to record. Really in depth so feel I can use to add to discussion with my GP. Great to see common themes and triggers. Only issue is it stopped auto detecting sleep after a few days. The settings are all set to yes so not sure why they stopped. Would be 5 stars if that was more consistent
I love the app. Easy to see triggers, what helps relief, and other info that's important to be able to track the headaches. I would like to see an easier way to enter Birthday. To set the birth year is quite time consuming. Update - the developer responded to let me know how to set the year.
My migraine doctor makes me keep a paper migration calendar. I constantly forget about it and lose it. This app is an upgraded replacement. I also suffer from a medical condition whose symptoms cause migraines and I can manually add other triggers and such!
Very usefull, migraine suffer for 15 years. I use it when I see my neurologist and now she is recommending it to others. I like how I can log a migraine and go back and fill in the info later because let's be honest, who wants to use their phones when their heads hurt and you cannot see?
this app has been so helpful in documenting for my doctor. im hoping the app will help to suppress my chronic migraines from time to time by finding a pattern. I'm so excited to share this app with others. I also love the little encouragement in the screen slides of the app along with the message feature. it helps me feel Like I'm not alone with this.
I stumbled across this app and I wish I had found it sooner. It tracks every aspect of a migraine from triggers to how severe an attack is, to how you treat it and what worked best. It also puts you in touch with other sufferers in your area. You can send alerts to family members to tell them when you are having a migraine and you can print out your migraine track easily so you can share the data with your doctor. Brilliant app would highly recommend it for any migraine sufferer.
To reiterate on most of the feed back so far this app is awesome. I know that no app is a cure nor a magic pill, but more likely a chronological tracker and process of elimination so to speak. Overall I am somewhat overwhelmed of so many people in general that suffer with this debilitating disease. I now know that I am not being neurotic after reading about so many people like myself post to my diagnosis by my neurologist. Prior I was told by the unprofessionals that I was probably border line anemic????
This app is better than what I was even looking for. It had a ton of features I didn't even know I needed, and has been eye opening! I'm looking forward to having my triggers nailed down. I can't make them go away, but I can at least shut them down before they go full blast and continue on with my life. Love the app, thanks!
Amazing App! It helps me keep a track for my migraines, find or having an idea of what might have be a trigger. It gives you a chance to communicate with people that also have migraine and might have tips or being encouraging. Very well done!
Big help. I can put in a little info when my migraine starts, then go back when it's over to fill in details, since staring at phone makes my headaches worse. This is very helpful.
Wow this app is so amazing. I seriously have learned so much about my migraine triggers. As well as advice on the chat part. I know it sounds crazy but it has helped me decrease my monthly migraines. With weather warning triggers and chat advice. The weather part is so cool. It alerts me of days ahead that could be a problem for me and to take precautions. I could kiss the creators of this app. I really love them for this. Thank you for giving me some days back into my life. By the way told my Dr about it. I just spoke to him last week. He told me he has literally told everyone of his migraine patients about it. He said his wife loves how easy and thorough it is. Thanks again guys! By the way I never write reviews but the app is worthy.
Very helpful to track migraines. Gives status of migraine free days...automtically tracks sleep patterns if phone is not moves for an extended time...asks you to confirm and or edit.. you can add to choices of each catefory5of tracking info..welll thought out.
This app has completely changed the way I look at my migraines. I can now be proactive instead of just reactive, decreasing migraines. My doctor likes it because I'm finally tracking regularly. It's easy to use & I can add a migraine & then track details after it's over. Love this app!
Great app. Had to track my first migraine on it yesterday. It really goes into detail of things you wouldn't necessarily think to write down and take to your doctor. One thing that's making me hesitant on it, the sleeping tracker. I have my phone on my nightstand and it knows when I fell asleep and woke up- which is creepy. But otherwise, keep it up!
I love this App! You can track everything! For example: where your head is hurting, what your symptoms are, what you think caused it, what made you feel better, what medication's you took, your notes, track how long it lasted and so much more!! It keeps a record of all of your migraines. Also you can add things, if they aren't listed. Highly recommended.
Awesome app. Started using right away and love it. I will say, please read useful tips before using. I have been using for months and am aware I did not log when experienced a higher painful migraine as that was the last thing I wanted to do . I just now read the useful tips and am now aware of bother me later. I highly recommend this app, and recommend reading useful tips first even if app is user friendly, you will benefit by a more accurate log.
Fairly good app. I would like it if it had an hour by hour scale for pain and medications, rather than just one for the initial start if the migrane. You can add notes though, which is where I add these. Overall, a great app for tracking and seeing patterns of your migranes.
This is a fantastic migraine app. I've been a migraine sufferer since I was 8 years old and this is very intuitive and my neurologist likes the reporting formats. You can add triggers easily or notes. And Jenny who runs this app is very quick to respond to any questions you may have and very open to input from users I can see from Reading other reviews. I also love that it lets me know how many hours of sleep at night so I can track that for other reasons. Great job with the programming and service
Thank you. I don't even remember how I found your app, but I'm glad I found it. It helps me communicate better with my doc about my migraines and it let's me know that there's others out there that are feeling just as miserable as me. It came just at the right time in my life.
Ever suspected there was a rithm in your migraine? This app really is a buddy that helps you be far more aware of it. Tracks you and keeps you so much more aware of why and when things gets worse. Great job by the developers, Thanks!
Didn't realize I was having so many attacks until I started tracking my migraines. This app will make a big difference on my next Drs visit
Excellent app. Super easy to keep track of migraines, even as they're happening. It also helps me notice patterns in recent or new activities to avoid migraines. Thank you so much! I'm extremely grateful.
I was recently diagnosed with migraines and I was having difficulty keeping a migraine journal. This has really helped me track everything in one nice spot. The preloaded options are great. When I add something I use or experience it is reassuring to have it pop up with silimair ones and how many people experience those symptoms or use that method/medication. I have already recommended it to my friends who have migraines too. Thank you and keep up the great work!
I found the app initially difficult to use and navigate, but that may have just been a result of trying to work an app with a migraine. Slowly figuring it out. So far I like it. I like best that I can add symptom and medications that are not in the provided list, and being able to make notes about my attack.
After a few teething problems getting used to how this works, I am working quite well with it. I've known my cause of migraines for 12 years, but they're shifting with my age. This app is more detailed and prompts me better than the spreadsheet I've used for many years.
I am amazed at this app! Very comprehensive with items to select on here that I thought were just oddly unique to my migraines. A lot of thought has gone into the set-up/layout by people who know how debilitating the condition can be. Going to take me a while to plot the history of mine but worth doing. I do have a suggestion which I will send across separately! Well done Jenny to you and your team.
This is a life saver. No more writing down migraine info in a journal...now I have my information with me at all times and for my doctor
It helps me so much. I cannot always remember what I felt or how to describe it but the picture icons are perfect. Really shows me how much time I deal with the pain. Perfect documentation tool. Recommend by a Dr and I love it!
Very useful and well thought out. It's easy to use when I can't think clearly and makes sure I don't miss any important information. The only down side is the inability to have multiple users on the same account to track my children's migraines; however, that is possible to work around by having multiple accounts.

This is AMAZING! I love this app! It is doing what I've been trying to do by hand for years, all in one place. Now I can go to a doctor and say here! Help me! Here's my history. And it's laid out in such a way that will make sense for them. When I couldn't remember later. Such a huge help! Love it!
