Good if you know all the details by anonym I'm trying to figure out what causes my headaches, so I ended up deleting this app because I couldn't answer some of the questions and there is no "unknown" option 3/5
Found FREE diary that does it all. by anonym Would lile to see option to add physical location (e.g. home / store) when headache occured to eliminate places that could be triggers. 3/5
Just started using app by anonym Have had migraines for 30 years. App is basic and easy and handy to use. Nice to be able to choose location, duration and rate the pain. 4/5
Nice and handy by anonym I had been keeping an old paper chart to track my migraines for the last 30+ years. In the last two months the darn things had increased in frequency and severity, or so I thought but I am terrible at writing info down in the moment. I am a much faster data entry type person so this app had been handy. Will be interested in what Doc says when I see him in two weeks for a work up. 4/5
Migraines by anonym Last up to 72 hours... I had a 52 hour one last week - should use start and end date. There should be an unknown option for trigger. 1/5
Good app by anonym Good app good resource to have to track headaches. 3/5
by anonym The days of the week doesn't appear to change which can be frustrating. For example, I haven't had to use this for about a month but when I logged on it said I had 3 headaches this week. That's really my only complain thus far. 4/5
Headaches by anonym I only recently began using this app. I have started getting headaches quite frequently and this seems like it would be a good app to track them so when I follow up with my doctor I can refer back to my notes. I will keep ya posted. 3/5
Great app. by anonym Really does just what you need in an easy to use interface. Very helpful in tracking the number and types of headaches you get and helps to identify their root cause. 5/5
Great app for migraine/headache sufferers! by anonym The only thing that I would change is having the option to choose more than one area of the head that is affected by the migraine & also affects such as light sensitivity, nausea, etc... I just include it in my notes right now. 5/5
Great little app by anonym This is going to be handy as the docs always ask how many headaches in the past week, what time and what type. All good so far. 5/5
Without glitches, easy to use by anonym Could definitely use more features, like ability to customize and eliminate unnecessary categories. But easy to use and moderately useful. 4/5
Like it so far by anonym Still learning what info can be stored & reviewed, but seems very similar to the pages I've carried for years to track my migraines. Probably better since I can read it (handwriting gets messy when my head hurts) and it creates charts. 4/5
Okay basic but okay by anonym Instead of "root cause" I'd prefer "trigger" because the root cause is genetic. I'd prefer more basic choices for meds taken. But of course they want to upsell to pro, so this is a minor quibble. It is a good way to keep track of numbers of migraines. Oh changing my rating.. only will track a few migraines before it locks and wants you to buy . Should be listed as shareware not lite. 1/5
Does The Job by anonym It allows succinct tracking of headaches, but you can't add treatment options other than OTC medication by default without the Pro version. It does allow for duration, pain level, and length of headache. Overall the free version is decent. 3/5
I like it by anonym I like the ability to track my headaches but I feel like you have to pit down a reason as to a trigger when most of the time I have no idea why they are triggered. I also wish the free version had a larger list of medications or a listed mix but they do not. I have only been using this app for a little bit and can't provide much more feeback 3/5
by anonym No point of using it ...after few entries we can't add anymore ..we will have to purchase it . complete waste app 1/5
Excellent by anonym I've been meaning to track my migraines since I was diagnosed 12 years ago. This app makes it so easy! 5/5
Need some improvement and additional functions, but good overall. by anonym This free app is easy to use but it needs to add some basic functions such as a weather tracker, easier to record medications, and an option to record ongoing headaches. If some of these things are included in future updates, the rating for this app will increase. 3/5
Self diagnosis = dumb by anonym I would like to record my symptoms not the root cause. I want to record how it feels, not the diagnosed reason or type. If I knew what caused my headaches, and the specific type of headache I was having, then I wouldn't need this app. When my head hurts, the last thing I want is to deal with this app. Something simpler would be better. This is to tedious especially when it hurts to look at an illuminated screen. 1/5
So far so good by anonym Starting to track my migraines again, so far so good. Could have options for selecting more than one medication, as I sometimes have to take several during the course of a migraine. Also, often these last more than 24 hours, although that seems to be the limit. Not sure if I need to start over with a new entry after 24 hours? Would like ability to copy and paste headache. Hard to look at phone in the throes of migraine, but want to accurately record info. Would help if could copy, paste, and change details. 4/5
Pretty good, but... by anonym Over all its a fairly decent app. I get headaches often and my doctor told me to start tracking them, and this app does a wonderful job. My only thing is I don't want to have to get the pro version to look at the other charts in what not. If they could fix it to were we don't have to get the pro, make us watch videos or something maybe? Then I would give 5 stars 4/5
Good app by anonym Wish it included my long-named migraine meds as it is a pain to enter 'every' time! Overall it does what is needed. 4/5
by anonym For the most part I like this app. I will probably end up upgrading to pro unless I find a better version of a free tracker. The UI can be clunky at times, but nothing you can't adapt to. I wish the free version wasn't SO limited (i get why it is, but I think I would have picked different features to lock) I should be able to track the details probably and I can't unless I pay. 3/5
by anonym I needed an application that can analyze the root cause, I don't know yet what triggers my migraines 2/5
Of no use to me! by anonym I have suffered with headaches for 7 years and I still haven't found an easy way of keeping track of them. This definitely isn't it! I have a specific diagnosis and this format just doesn't work. - Time, meds, pain levels, good. - Duration slide bar is dumb. Should be numbers you can pick. - Pain location gives you lots of choices. Though I can get pain that starts in my neck, and can't add as other. - Trigger options are silly.Needs other choice. So far charts don't look helpful either. Not good app. 1/5
"No more entries possible" by anonym What do you mean, no more entries possible???! If you don't have many headaches, this is probably a good app for you. I've had 10 headaches over the past 2 months, and Headache Diary Lite cut me off. I didn't like the app enough to pay to be able to log more headaches, so I'll probably just go back to the old writing them down method. 2/5
Easy to use by anonym I like how I can enter the onset of my headache & then later enter the other info after the pain eases. Wish I could enter multiple locations of pain tho instead of having to enter them in the notes. 4/5
Very helpful by anonym I suffer from a lot of headaches, mainly cluster headaches and migraines and this is an easy and very simple way to record what types of headaches I had and how severe they were to show my doctor as he wanted me to keep a diary of them. Highly recommended. 5/5
Love this app by anonym Really wish they would add more med choices and the ability to select more than one location of pain. It would also be great to be able to give headaches more than one pain score considering how the vary in severity 4/5
Looking forward to using this ap!! by anonym Hoping that this ap will help me record and know/understand the reasons for my headaches. 4/5
Could be better... by anonym I mean, the free version cant let me add one medication to my list? I have to choose one then in the notes write that thats actually not what I took. Either way, this beats writing stuff down in random places trying to track things. Beggars can't be choosers. Also, it'd be nice if there was a section for tracking what I ate because that may help me figure out why Im getting headaches. 3/5
Excellent by anonym I've been trying to track my near daily migraines for twenty years. Usually, I give up after a month or two. I downloaded all the free migraine tracker apps, and this was by far the most user friendly. I have NEVER bought an app, but if I find myself sticking to this, I most certainly will pay to have the higher version. 5/5
Very nice way to keep track of migraines. by anonym Would like to be able to list more symptom sites and create custom med chart. 4/5
Great way to track headaches by anonym Easy to use. I am interested to see how it looks after I have entered more information. 5/5
Nice, but may I suggest... by anonym This app is helpful tracking headaches frequency/ dates. Improvements recommended: allow to select more than one side of your head. Add temple region. Also, I dont know what triggers my headaches. Would be nice to have options that you could choose possible triggers. For example, weather changed, period, scents, eye strain, tense neck, etc. For migraine, noticed onset symp. Aura, dark dots etc. For the ones that come back, an option for that. 3/5
Trial app only by anonym Have used this app on and off for less than a month, & now it tells me no more entries left! Hasn't been long enough to decide if I ought to get pro version. The reason I need this is to work out what the cause of headache is. But there is no option for 'I don't know' . Rather frustrating if you ask me. Otherwise it could be quite good. 2/5
by anonym There is no way to edit how many headaches this week if you start on tues also no way to select more than one area of pain my headaches frequently have more than one site of pain also add level of sensitivity light sound smell food also was it affected with nausea vomitting or diahrea Thank you for the site it will work for what i need but if i find one that offers what i need i will get that one 3/5
Okay but there's better! by anonym Basically the app is pretty nice and simple but my problem with it is that even though I'm dealing with my headaches for a number of years I still do not know what exactly triggers every single one of them! And there is no possibility to select that you don't know the trigger.. also it's only possible to select one spot of pain: either the whole right head, the right ear, or the right eye.. but in my opinion every single one of those spots are important to know! So these would be two big things to change!! 2/5
Didn't realize the lite version was a trial by anonym I have been looking for a headache diary that I can take with me on the go and this app appeared to do just the trick. The lite version does have a few key things missing (i.e. multiple key triggers ), but I was fine with that since it had a notes section at the bottom of every entry. I did not however, know that the lite version was only going to limit me to 10 entries. I have spent a lot of time logging the specifics to my migraines and do not look forward to having to re-entered them in a different app. 3/5
