T70%

I can track anything I want with this app, triggers, meds, how long the migraines lasted, make notes, etc. I can even send it to myself to print via excel to give to my doctor. I love being able to compare how I'm doing now compared to last month or last year.

S70%
by S####:

This is a great app. I like that I control my data and can export as a CSV file. I can't seem to find the data file for backup purposes. 5 stars if I can find that!

M70%
by M####:

Best I've found so far. Would prefer the date to apply to all tabs, confusing having the different tabs being on different dates as you scroll through (swipe left/right would be great). Needs ability to add own description, location and side effect. Export should include comments. Love that it doesn't ask for unnecessary permissions!

Just installed this to log my first CH for the year. I'd like to try recording the last few months' of entries from my 2014 paper diary. Some useful options would be to add locations of HA for Left & Right sided. Also, a calender option would be good for chronic / frequent HA sufferers. Maybe a month per page with an entry for severity. I use the Kip scale for cluster headaches. And an option for 'aura' or 'shadiws'. Thankyou. Hopefully this will make it easier to track mine.

Easy to use!

I get migraines constantly and it is hard to keep track of them. This app was easy to use helped me keep track of my migraines medication and triggers. I loved the charts it makes its very useful. I just wish the symptoms section was a little better. Wish I could add my own and rate the severity of the symptoms some migraines make me a little light sensitive others make me a lot. Right now though I put it in the comment section.

N70%

It doesn't let me edit my symptoms ..because I have more than what is listed. Please fix.

S70%
by S####:

I had to create a list of my headache types but then when I tried to pick the headache from the drop-down it wouldn't let me choose. It only let me keep the first one that I had in the list.

Z70%
by Z####:

I like it, basically. I can list whatever meds I take, it keeps track of start times, and they're adjustable, I listed the reasons I left/didn't leave work in my trigger section. I would appreciate being able to set the app to start at meds (for the days I don't have aches, but take my prophylactic meds), and I would appreciate a way to back up the info on my sd card or something, so when transferring info on to a different phone the info I've gathered would follow.

N70%
by N####:

very un user friendly. if you dont know the type of headache its going to be, for those who get all types of headaches.

K70%
by K####:

Apps are supposed to make life easier, you have to do all the work with this one. There are no common triggers, medications, or headache intensities listed like other apps do. You have to type out everything and let me tell you, when you have a migraine the last thing you want to do is spend 10 minutes looking at a lit screen to enter information.

This is exactly what I need to track my migraines. Thank you!

by Q####:

This really simplifies headache-logging! It makes it muuuuuch easier to talk about your headaches with your doctor. I'd love to see additional pain types (stabbing, shooting, etc). Also a way to log aura would be helpful. Overall, great! Thanks!

O70%
by O####:

Would like to be able to track my migraine not only once during its occurrence. Sometimes a migraine lasts longer then 12 hours and I take additional meds during this period. It would be awesome if I could continue to track pain levels, meds which have/have not been taken, and if they have/have not elevated symptoms. This is all important data which would make your app complete.

Allows me to record detail on migraine but unable to export to provide to doctor.

U70%
by U####:

I'm a heavy migraine sufferer and though I do enjoy the layout of this app and the medication input is great, it doesn't have enough zones to choose from for location of migraine. I had to choose a general and put more specific information in comments and it was quite tedious. Also works on a 24 hour clock which was confusing. Does what it says it does but could definitely do it better.

A70%
by A####:

... but needs a little tweaking. Would be good to be able to add your own side effects (as you can meds etc) as existing list is very limited. Same with pain location. Otherwise very good. Thanks

X70%
by X####:

Can't view all the information on headache at once. You have to click through different screens anf scroll back to specific day. It would be nice to have all info on one page to see what type of headache, trigger, medication and outcome occurred on specific day. I do like the options and ability to add own options like meds triggers etc.

X70%
by X####:

I really like this app. Very customizable and easy to use. A few suggestions: I'd like to be able to choose more than one headache location (they sometimes move), also add a section for what alleviated (or not) the headache, besides medication. I'd like to be able to get that in a chart too.

L70%
by L####:

Thorough detailing. Would love a calendar to look at previous days and/or add new entry. That would make it more user friendly. Otherwise good app.

Great app for tracking symptoms and treatment. Helps find patterns to avoid migraines!
