### 3/5 — Исправьте ввод времени

*2026-04-28*

Айфон 16 про 
ios 26.4.2
Когда вдневнике все вводишь новую запись и пытаешься написать время- нормально это сделать не получается

### 5/5 — Супер

*2026-04-17*

Большое спасибо разработчику. Очень удобный дневник ещё и за бесплатно. Мне, как человеку страдающему от мигрени, очень удобно пользоваться. Удачи вам и не болейте 🤝

### 5/5 — 8/10

*2026-03-11*

Great app no purchase needed for use!

### 5/5 — Хорошее приложение

*2026-01-25*

Приложение приятное, но есть необходимость учитывать все таблетки которые ты принимаешь в статистике, а выбрать можешь только одно. 
Если получится добавить эту функцию - будет очень хорошо!

### 5/5 — Хорошее приложение.

*2026-01-21*

Я впервые веду дневник головной боли, вроде понятно всё. Не понятно почему я сразу не могу поставить 14 дней головной боли и более с отметкой о госпитализации скорой в мед. учреждение… 
Приходится по 5 дн. Отмечать много дней.

### 3/5 — Suggested feature

*2025-12-24*

I just started using Cranium to keep track of my headaches and love it so far. I was thinking, however, that it could be nice to allow apps like Garmin to sync to make note of “body battery” and HR during, before, and after headaches/migraines. I understand partnering with such an app might be challenging, but I think this feature would be really valuable.

### 5/5 — This app changed my life

*2025-12-06*

This app makes me want to cry! I love it so much and I use it any time I have a headache. Whenever it says an achievement and it says “One day without a headache” it brings tears to my eyes! The best app I have ever downloaded. Pls try it will change your life! It did to me. I always needed a way to log my headaches because they were so painful but no other apps worked as well as this one. This app is truly life changing❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

### 5/5 — Удобное приложение

*2025-10-16*

Приложение отличное. Но хотелось бы отдельный пункт по приему лекарств,некоторые препараты пьются как профилактика и хотелось бы указывать и их,чтобы отслеживать динамику болей  и дозировку профилактических препаратов

### 4/5 — Simple and easy

*2025-09-24*

I like the simple interface. Would be nice to be able to mark other locations on the head for pain, eg eyes, forehead, cheeks, etc.

### 3/5 — Нужное приложение

*2025-09-23*

Визуально все хорошо, все замечательно, задумка очень хороша. Всегда есть но. Нет возможности отслеживать приступ длящиеся несколько дней подряд. Приложение упорно считает что это 2 разных случая.
