### 4/5 — Best I’ve tried

*2024-02-05*

I’ve had continuous headaches for over a year now and needed to record more than when I have a headache and if I took paid relief or not. I tried a few apps and found this one was the best as you can add more than one entry per day. You can also edit the fields to add in things more relevant to you. I don’t understand the trigger field though, how do you know this. Maybe that’s more for migraines. 
You can also pull up reports but I don’t believe they are accurate as I only take paracetamol but that report says I’ve taken aspirin too. I’ve check all my records to check if I’d clicked on the wrong thing which I hadn’t. This is the only reason I gave 4 stars.

### 3/5 — Fehlen Medikamente

*2023-11-15*

Leider kann man di Medikamente nicht selbst nachtragen. So fehlen Novalgin Tropfen, Formigran , Migräne Granit oder verschreibungspflichtige Triptane.

### 4/5 — gelungen

*2023-09-13*

Ich finde die App recht gut, vor allem die Möglichkeit des persönlichen Editierens und die Statistik, insbesondere die Diagramm-Anzeigen, gefallen mir. Das Einzige, was mir fehlt, ist die Möglichkeit, „kein Kopfschmerz“ und „0 Stunden“ auszuwählen, verbunden damit, dass die täglichen Umstände, die man als „Auslöser“ angibt, im Fall von „kein Kopfschmerz“ nicht in der Statistik gewertet werden. In meinem Fall soll ich nämlich auch die Umstände an schmerzfreien Tagen dokumentieren, um einen Vergleich für schmerzfreie und schmerzhafte Tagen zu erhalten. Das soll jedoch vielmehr Anregung sein als Kritik für eine gelungene App :-)

### 5/5 — Alles drin was nötig ist ohne schnick-schnack

*2020-11-08*

Nach langem Hin und Her und ausprobieren von sämtlichen Migräne-Apps habe ich mich für diese App entschieden. Wer schnell Eintragungen vornehmen möchte ohne viel schnick-schnack ist hier gut bedient. Man kann alles anpassen und für sich zusammensetzen. Klar, das Aussehen könnte überarbeitet werden aber dafür ist alles übersichtlich inkl. der Auswertungen. Ich bin zufrieden und bleibe dabei ! Daumen hoch :-)

### 3/5 — Good app

*2020-06-30*

It’s a good app but the buttons at the bottom keep disappearing and I have to keep resetting the app fix this and I will give it 5 stars

### 5/5 — Headache tracker

*2019-10-20*

Great app.   Being using this for a few years now and if you enter the info as you are having it it’s easy to input the info required.  It’s amazing what results you find out. Great to adapt to your own treatments and symptoms too.

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2019-03-06*

The app does a lot to help keep track of my headaches.  It can be customized which helps me a lot because everyone’s headaches and how you treat them can be different.  In the future I would like to see more reporting options and a better understanding of how to interpret them.  Overall this is a good app for me.

### 3/5 — Gut bis auf Kleinigkeiten

*2018-01-24*

Ich finde die App zur Erfassung der Kopfschmerzen eigentlich gut. Folgende Verbesserungen wären wünschenswert:
-Anpassung auf iPhone X
-Kopfschmerzdauer auch kleiner 1 Stunde möglich
-Uhrzeit der der Medikamenteneinnahme
-iCloud-Nutzung für mehre Geräte
(Ein Backup-System ist aber eingebaut!)

Bereinigung folgenden Fehlers:
Wenn ich „Schlafen“ als Medikation auswähle, auch wenn ich nichts anderes wähle, wird in der Statistik immer auch „Ibuprofen“ mit Wirkung 10 ausgeworfen. 

Wenn der Fehler behoben ist, kann man locker 4 Sterne geben!!!

### 4/5 — Good App, Need END TIME

*2017-07-20*

This is a good migraine diary. I wish it had a way to enter END TIMES for the migraines.  My Neurologist loves the way it breaks it down & has a list of my migraines.

### 4/5 — Gut

*2017-02-23*

Gut

### 5/5 — Helpful app

*2017-02-10*

I was instructed by my neurologist to keep a log of my headaches. Then I came across this app and loved it. It made everything easy to log. I printed out 3 months of detailed logs from the app and took it to my Drs appointment. My Drs were very impressed by the app and found it very helpful.

### 4/5 — Good enough

*2016-12-11*

I have tried several different migraine documentaries. This works the best for me. I appreciate the quick entry option. I don't really feel like dealing with my phone when I have a migraine. I have 13 migraines entered so far. I'm getting used to the app.  Previously, I used the notebook app on my iPhone. Not good for reporting. This app includes reporting functionality. I hope the reporting works well. My neurologist has asked for reporting. Thanks for writing this app!

### 4/5 — Headache Diary Pro

*2016-11-29*

This has been a great app to keep track of my son's migraines and headaches. It helped us to give his neurologist more detail to these migraines and headaches.

### 5/5 — Great

*2016-02-13*

A must have if you suffer from headaches

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2025-03-30, version 1.12.0*

The app crashes every time I hit edit.  There is no list of pain options in this app line there is in the lite version.  Very disappointing in a paid version.  I really liked the layout of this app and it's very easy to use. I really hoped the Pro version would be worth the money but the constant crashing makes this app unusable.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother-this app will give you a headache!!!

*2020-07-13, version 1.9.0*

Was using lite version to see if it fit my needs and after 5 entries it required me to upgrade to pro for $4. it worked well enough so I upgraded. All my entries in the lite version disappeared AND any entries I make in the pro version disappear when the app is closed. WASTE of money- that I would like refunded!

### 1/5 — Rubbish - please refund

*2019-02-22*

I bought this app this morning and I’ve set up yesterday’s migraine and today’s migraine.  I’ve actually done this four times and each time I close the app the recorded migraines disappear. I paid 4 pound for nothing this app does not work and it should not be allowed on Apple.
Please refund ASAP and take down from store until it works.

### 1/5 — No thanks

*2018-08-03, version 1.8.5*

Absolutely useless

### 1/5 — No support

*2016-03-23, version 1.8.2*

No response to emails. Keeps crashing. No how to use pages or how to read reports. Too bad. Nice app with lots of potential. Should have been free with such little support from developer.

### 1/5 — Lost functionality in iOS 8.3 makes this app useless

*2015-04-22, version 1.6*

Please fix the mentioned shortcomings when used in iOS8.3. This app worked great before, but the lost functionality makes it a completely useless app now.

### 1/5 — Not good at all

*2014-11-18, version 1.6*

Presentation wise, It looks good but functionality is crappy. Has a number of BUGS, one of which keeps ur headache entry log even after u delete it. Therefore reports are never accurate. Incorrect information displayed in reports, which u need most to analyse and track ur headache. DONT buy it unless this application is properly tested and releases a better and bug free version. Waste of money.

### 2/5 — Lame

*2020-04-26, version 1.9.0*

There are quite a few poor choices wrt headaches.  I wanted something to document migraine and cluster headaches.  Minimum choices for duration, site, and medication is so poor I cannot represent anything to accurately track my headaches, so pretty well useless!  I’d give it one star, but I am considering the effort that went into the design, albeit rather useless for my situation.  I’m Chocking this up to a wasted fee for nothing

### 2/5 — Broken

*2015-04-24*

Broken functionality in 8.3

### 2/5 — Incompatible with iOS 8.3

*2015-04-17, version 1.6*

Great app before iOS 8.3. "Intensity of pain" and "duration of pain" are disabled after latest iOS update. These are two key factors when documenting headache occurrences.

### 5/5 — Generates clear reports for your doctor!

*2026-02-11*

Easy to use! You can edit the tracker if you need to add other symptoms like tinnitus or limb weakness. You can also generate a clear and descriptive report for your medical provider.

### 5/5 — App für Schlaganfall zu verbessern

*2025-05-07*

Die App ist einfach super 👍 💪 nur meine Wunsch ist es die App zu verbessern für Schlaganfall..
Ich habe einige Sache noch hinzugefügt.....

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2025-03-27*

Have used a number of migraine apps found this one very easy to use. The app lets you get relevant information quickly and relevant.

### 5/5 — Great Help

*2024-10-09, version 1.12.0*

Have used a few Migraine apps but not easy to use. This is simple and easy to use

### 5/5 — Love

*2023-09-02, version 1.12.0*

I love this app. I have vestibular migraine. With the myriad of non-headache symptoms I have, it was so hard to find a good app that was CUSTOMIZABLE. Much gratitude.

### 5/5 — Screamineagle

*2022-05-20*

Sehr gut auch die Art der App im Design für mich zeitlos ansprechend und funktionell mit entsprechender Druckausgabe… Bitte! Mehr Apps in dieser Art

### 5/5 — Almost perfect

*2022-02-15*

After trying out various Migraine/Headache apps, I discovered this one and it perfectly meets my need as a headache journal. 

But it doesn’t sync with the Apple Health app.  If it could, it would be worth more than 5 stars :)

### 5/5 — Schnelle Datenerfassung und gute Statistik

*2022-01-07*

Ich benutze die App seit acht Jahren. Die Daten sind intuitiv einzugeben und nach einer gewissen Zeit erhält man über die Statistik-Information brauchbare Daten über Auslöser und Merkmale der (Kopf-) Schmerzen. Weiter so!

### 5/5 — Spitzen App, benutze sie zur Kontrolle meiner Epilepsie

*2021-07-04*

Bearbeitungsfunktion finde ich super, so kann ich alles verändern, was in meinem Fall benötigt wird.

### 5/5 — Great app my doctor loves the reports

*2021-02-24*

This is a great app for tracking migraines. My doctor raves about the reports, but the report generator has one flaw, the date/year starts in the year 0000.
