## What is Chronic Pain Diary Lite?

Chronic pain symptoms are tough. But tracking them should be easy.

Track your pain with symptom, treatment and note tracking, a color coded calendar, graphs, and quick and easy data entry.

Recording a new entry doesn't require longer than a few seconds; Chronic Pain Diary takes the pain out of tracking chronic pain. 

Chronic Pain Diary allows you to name your treatments and symptoms. A few examples of the many possibilities: back and hip pain, pain relief, chronic pain, Lyme symptoms, Lupus symptoms, Fibromyalgia, and depression symptoms.

* Tap just a few times, then get back to your day. This app focuses on streamlining how you journal your health
* Tap in an entry name, optional entry notes, entry type (treatment, symptom or note), rating from 0 - 10, and a time stamp
* Create multiple profiles, each with a separate calendar and entry tracking
* Reuse up to 3 previously entered symptom and treatment names to quickly log new entries
* Sort entries alphabetically or by usage
* Color coded symptom lists display low and high ratings
* Color coded calendar displays high ratings of each day for symptoms and treatments
* Symptoms are 'red', treatments are 'green', with dynamic color blending on the calendar and in lists
* Graph individual days, showing high and low points by rating and time stamp
* Graph multiple days by dragging a touch across the calendar to display high points for all days in a given range
* Toggle entry display of symptoms and treatments, optionally omitting entries from graph images and calendar images
* Watch a user guide video

### 1/5 — Won't open

*2014-06-16*

I downloaded this and I can't get it to open

### 3/5 — Clean

*2013-01-20*

Looks nice, easy to use...  But no where near what I need which is sad because the designers did a great job - for the most part.  
I'm trying to track health problems and pain on a massive scale and this app just can't handle what I need it to do.  The more expensive apps have more bells and whistles and flashy icons but this one actually works and makes sense at least. 
Different colors for different entries would be nice. It keeps a handy list of previous entries like, "back pain," or,"headache," so when you make a new entry you can simply click one of the names you used previously, but each one graphs as one red line so you can't track multiple pains/subjects in one profile; they all get lumped into one line on the graph which doesn't help me at all. 
Great idea, looks great, clean UI but could use a couple tweaks before I'd have a real use for it.

### 1/5 — Could be better

*2012-12-14*

Pretty much just a graph. Only allows for 3 symptoms in lite version. And no where to put notes for details or treatments/meds taken for symptoms. This app could use improvement!
