## What is Canadian Migraine Tracker?

Migraine is invisible on an MRI but very visible on a diary. 

According to headache specialists, the most useful tool for the treatment of migraines is a migraine diary. Start a diary today and be empowered!


The Canadian Migraine Tracker helps you to keep a simple and focused Migraine Diary directly from your smart phone or tablet. Available in English and French.


Here are five good reasons to keep a diary:
• Get a clear idea of your headache frequency and patterns
• Use the data to work with your health care provider
• Monitor the response to treatments (acute, preventive, behavioral)
• Observe triggers 
• Watch medication overuse 
• Bonus: detect menstrual migraine! 

Less is more: simple, focused and designed to optimize your discussions with your health care provider.


You can monitor what is important for you: headache frequency but also triggers, symptoms and medication response.


We built this tool to make communication with your health care provider (family doctor, neurologist, nurse practitioner, pharmacist, etc.) easier. The App focuses on the information usually discussed with physicians. Our  reports can be sent to your health care provider in convenient ways: PDF, email and fax.


We hope that you will find this application convenient and easy to use! Please share comments and rate the Canadian Migraine Tracker.

### 3/5 — Could be better

*2026-07-09, version 8.2*

The app is a good start, but definitely needs improvement.
I’ve read some of the other reviews and many of them have mentioned the same issues I will be referring to.

First, the screen needs to have a dark mode option. Even with my screen dimmed to the lowest level, it is still difficult to view during an attack.

Then there is the issue with different attacks on the same day. I can experience multiple attacks and majority are different than the 1st attack including the time of day, location, intensity, and type. It can be mild at first and fairly severe later on, or the opposite. Noting that yes multiple attacks happened is not enough and writing the notes out each time to add the time and the changes in locations or intensity is much more challenging when it’s hard to look at the screen long enough to do so.

Lastly, it would definitely be helpful to be able to mark exactly the area the attack starts or stays. I experience migrating pain, meaning that it can start on the front of my fore head and move to the right side of my head, or to the top, etc. Having an actual map to note the locations for each attack would be beneficial for tracking so that when we provide a summary to the doctor, they have a better understanding of the physical patterns of the attacks.

I’ve tried other apps, but would much rather continue with a Canadian one. Please update to include these options. It would improve usage and allow for more precise details in the summaries we provide to the medical professionals we work with.

### 1/5 — App no longer working after maintenance

*2026-07-05, version 8.2*

I was using this to track my severe migraines to share and provide updates with my healthcare provider and had logged nearly 2 years worth of data and after their update/maintenance, I always get a “something went wrong!” Error message and can’t even log in. Even deleting the app and reinstalling it, I get this message. I also tried changing my password and I still get this message. All my longitudinal data is now lost.

### 3/5 — Dark mode please!

*2026-07-02, version 8.2*

As someone who is very light-sensitive when having a migraine attack, I would love if a dark mode would be added as an option!

### 1/5 — Mise à jour

*2026-06-19, version 8.2*

Depuis la mise à jour récente 16/06/2026 rien ne fonctionne et en plus j’ai perdu toutes mes données enregistrées depuis longtemps

### 1/5 — Too much notifications regarding updates

*2026-06-18, version 8.2*

I deleted my account on deleted the app.

### 2/5 — What happened?

*2026-06-17, version 8.2*

Have been using this app for years and love it. Since the last update it doesn’t work at all. Just keeps spinning.

### 3/5 — App suddenly states “user does not exist”

*2026-06-17, version 8.2*

When I automatically logged on to the app, my daily logs for the last 3+ years were gone. I figured out how to log out of the account I was in, which other people were making notes; they had also suddenly been accessing it rather than their own accounts. Thankfully, I was able to log into my account and my logs were still intact.

### 1/5 — User not found after app update

*2026-06-16, version 8.2*

I was happy with the app and visually being able to see my migraine trends. After the big update this weekend the app is not working for me and cannot recognize my user data

### 3/5 — Complete waste of time and energy

*2026-06-16, version 8.2*

I have been tracking my migraines with the app at the direction of my Neurologist.  It was a bit clunky but it was a way for me to do so.  Hard enough when you’re in the onset of a migraine.  Anyway.  They announce that they will be down for four days to update the app. All my data is gone, I no longer exist in the system and the report I need to produce Wednesday is now not available.  Any company tracking medical
Information had better ensure data privacy and protection, apparently that is not an actual consideration for migraine tracker.

### 3/5 — App not loading

*2026-06-14, version 8.1*

App hasn’t worked for the past few days… very frustrating when trying to keep track of symptoms
