Super easy interface

This app is exactly what it says “simple”. Which is perfect in this case. It’s easy to open and just track a migraine with 1 click of a button. So questions to answer or things to try and pay attention to. Just one click. I love it.

Thank you, Allanna, for your kind words and wonderful review! We're glad you are finding the one-tap button to be helpful. Thank you, and stay safe out there!

The best

I originally gave this one star immediately after the upgrade because I lost a year’s worth of data and it wasn’t recording my headaches properly. But after a few weeks of searching for an app that could come anywhere close to the ease of this app, in desperation I decided to try this one again. I am glad I did. All the problems of the initial roll-out seem to be fixed, and the ease of just tapping once to record a migraine when I have a migraine is fantastic. Thank you!!!

Thank you!! Sorry about the initial struggle, but we are glad to hear you are back up and running! We really appreciate the review and are glad you enjoy the app!

What happened?

I have been using this app for about a year. Now it won’t open. I lost all my records of migraines and I need them for my Doctor and Lawyer. App was great till now.

Update: The developer of the app has been great to work with.. they help me to solve the issue. I got all my information back. Thank you so much. I am only giving 4 stars right now, but I will probably change it to five soon.
If you have an issue with the app email Reiley and they will work with you to get it fixed.

Loved it when it worked.

I loved the simplicity of this app and that it worked with Apple Watch. It was an easy and efficient way to track migraines. Since the update it no longer works at all and I have lost all the data for my neurologist and insurance. So disappointed.

Update

I really liked this app, it was the only place I remembered to mark my migraines. All of a sudden I can’t get the app to open up anymore after trying to restart my phone any everything.

Simplicity is nice, but hampered by bugs

I like the simplicity of this app so I can track my migraines without the bother of dealing with all the questions I get in the other app I’ve been using. But I’m frustrated that the weather never loads. Do I need the weather, which is just temperature and general conditions (eg sunny, cloudy, etc)? I don’t know, but the error message is incredibly frustrating, so resolving it one way or another would greatly increase my satisfaction. (If you’re fixing it, it would be really helpful to add barometric pressure, which is a common trigger. But not really a dealbreaker.) I’m also frustrated that there’s no way to login and save the data if you’re switching devices or if you uninstall and reinstall the app (say, in an attempt to fix a bug with the weather). There’s a login prompt in the tutorial section, but every time I click it, the app crashes. Or I get an error message that it can’t load. Overall, these bugs may be minor, but in a relatively simple app, they really are frustrating and detract from an otherwise nice, simple app.

aggieyoda, Thank you for your kind words. I wanted to jump in real quick and let you know that we are working on these items as we speak. Sorry for the frustration! -We set out to build an app that would take care of the details without a lot of interaction. Believe me, I know what it's like to have to worry about one more thing while you are suffering a migraine. As a general update, let me address the items you brought up: My son and I created this first version without realizing how popular it would become. As such we incorporated a free trial connection to the weather, which was restricted by what we thought would be plenty of connections. We are both pleasantly surprised, and a little embarrassed that we are exceeding the limits of this initial phase. We are adding a full-service connection to weather right away, and you should see the weather function return without any problems in the next couple of days. Speaking of weather, we hear you loud and clear about barometric pressure. We're looking into adding that, too. We have a new version mapped out including automatic barometric pressure tracking, so we can see how that is affecting our attacks. Thank you for the tip. As for login and data sharing between your devices: we are working on this very thing right now. Our first version was a proof of concept, and we always planned to bring this to a cross-device platform as soon as we could. That time is now. We hope to have a new version out before the end of this year. We're working to squash those bugs, too. Our proof of concept version focused on connecting to automated features. In our next version we are focussing on the cross-platform data, improving code and concentrating on refining the analytics. Again, thank you for your message; we really appreciate the feedback.

Weather

Paid for upgrade for the weather. It doesn't work.

Response from developer

Hey pwags1, thank you for the note. Sorry for the late reply. We are fixing the weather connection as I write this and we anticipate that problem will go away in the next couple of days. As I mentioned in a previous post, this first version was our proof of concept and we didn't expect such an overwhelming response. Thank you for the note, and thank you for your support - we really appreciate it. We'll get that weather bug fixed right away, and hope to have a new version out before the end of the year to help you analyze your data a lot more efficiently. Thanks again for your comment. -Cary

Simple app

I really like the app. It’s simple and the upgrade is only .99 cents. It adds so many addition features. However my weather is mot automatically syncing. So when I report an attack from my Apple Watch all the data is more coming through. Otherwise great app

Response from developer

jmeinen2098 Sorry for the extremely late response. The pandemic had us scrambling for cover and we looked away for a bit. But we're back and Reiley is working on a new version that we think you'll really like. The weather function will be fixed in the next couple of days. We didn't anticipate the overwhelming response for this app and built with a limited version of the weather connection that only gave us a handful of connections per day. Looks like we missed that one by a mile. Thank you for connecting with us, and we hope you are still using the app. If not, we hope you'll jump back in with us; we'll have weather figured out soon, and a full new app before the end of the year. We appreciate your support!

Great except for the time

Great easy to use app. Only issue is my time is showing 12 hours behind ... would give five stars if this wasn’t an issue.

Edit: I reinstalled the app and the time is now correct.

Response from developer

DragonsFox, sorry to get back to you so late, and thanks for reporting that you were able to correct the time issue with a restart. We're working on a full new version that we plan to have out before the end of the year. Our goal is to add more functionality and ease of use without requiring much interaction. Reiley is working on the next version now and we hope you are thrilled with it. See you soon! -Cary
