### 4/5 — Nice App

*2016-09-11, version 1.8.5*

Nice professional looking app but duration doesn't go below an hour. My Cluster Headaches typically last between 20 to 45 minutes.

### 3/5 — Ok, but finding another app.

*2016-01-22, version 1.8.2*

Works fine, but lite version worked less then a week before it and demanded upgrading to full version. Finding another app instead.

### 3/5 — Simpel und gut

*2015-12-21*

Einfach und gut zu bedienen. 
Gut gefällt mir, dass die man als Nutzer Unterkategorien wie z.B. Schmerzort oder Auslöser usw. bearbeiten oder selbst gestalten kann. 
Mir fehlt eine Auswertung der eingenommenen Medikamente sowie eine entsprechende schnelle Übersicht der eingenommenen Tabletten. 
Die Auswertungen sind ok, aber könnten noch optimiert werden.

### 3/5 — Fast input

*2015-06-26*

I can not stop the clock on the fast input button in the app. The app is good beside that part every time I try to stop it the app crashes.

### 3/5 — Not enough

*2014-05-17*

I'm kind of sad you can only do 5 headache entry's before it makes you buy the full version. Otherwise not a bad app at all!

### 2/5 — Lockangebot?

*2012-11-15*

Funktionierte genau eine Woche hervorragend, aber seit gestern werde ich aufgefordert, die kostenpflichtige Version zu laden, wenn ich einen neuen Schmerz hinzufügen will. Es geht nur noch über die Schnellerfassung. Die kostenpflichtige Version hat lt. Beschreibung und Screenshots keine weiteren Funktionen als die Lite-Version, also was soll das? Zur Anwendung selbst: die Wirkung der Medikamente sollte bei 0 anfangen statt bei 1, sonst alles durchdacht. Da es sich um eine Testversion handelt, die nicht als solche gekennzeichnet wird, gibt es massiv Abzüge in der Bewertung.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2021-05-19*

This used to be free but now cannot log a headache without purchasing the pro version. Also, the interface is quite outdated for this to be a paid app. Needs to be revamped.

### 1/5 — Dark theme required

Title; dark theme required 

Dark theme please 
It is common knowledge that a migraine causes light sensitivity.
Can not use until you make a dark theme.

Yours sincerely.

### 1/5 — Do some research

*2018-06-24*

The “main cause of headaches” is actually not stress. The fact that the developer puts that as his tag line is misleading at best and dangerous at worst. If you are having severe headache symptoms - seek medical help and not just an app.

### 1/5 — Charged?

*2018-01-03*

I believe I was just charged for the app when it didn’t show any price to “get”. Not enough functionality to it to pay for it

### 1/5 — Dishonest

*2017-11-29*

This app was dishonest, when I got this app, it was free but after last update, it's became non-free!

### 1/5 — Never works

*2016-03-02, version 1.8.2*

Always crashes.  It's an amazing app when it works.

### 1/5 — Kept crashing

*2015-06-20*

After downloading this app and beginning the timer on my headache, the app crashed seven times when I tried to stop the timer. If it worked, it could be a great headache tracker.

### 1/5 — Good design but buggy and waste of money

*2014-10-14, version 1.6*

Enteries were duplicated and correupted apps database everytime I edited and saved. Therefore resulting in incorrect reports. Not tested properly therefore has some bugs which brings usability for me to Zero. Otherwise good design and thought.

### 2/5 — Nett gemacht, aber buggy

*2015-10-21*

zB kann man keine eigenen Trigger anlegen. Mehrfach versucht: ➕ getippt, Trigger eingetragen, Speichern gedrückt – nix gespeichert. Ein Beispiel von vielen. 

Wenn es mal irgendwann läuft, gibts volle Sternzahl. Weil, hübsch ist sie ja.

### 2/5 — Headache diary review: not free :(

*2014-12-16*

The app works pretty well, nice options for entering meds, pain scale, effectiveness of medications, and when the headache occurred; however, all of this is undercut by the app not being free as advertised.
After five headache entries, you are prompted to download the "FULL" app from the store... Otherwise known as the $3.99 version.
Misleading and unethical advertising. Thumbs down.

### 5/5 — Brilliant app. Been using it for years

*2023-12-05, version 1.12.0*

User friendly. Able to export all data. Unfortunately have to use it almost daily and the app gives me a solid picture of trends and patterns around headache frequency

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2014-04-03*

So so so helpful in tracking my headaches!! My doctor wants to know when I have them and how bad they are. This is the perfect way to do it!! This is absolutely perfect!

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2014-02-22*

Great for tracking headaches/migraines.  You cab track triggers as well and the effectiveness of treatments.  Great app!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2013-07-05*

I use this app to track my migraines. It gives the ability to edit just about every aspect of signs, symptoms, triggers and medications. A few of the words dealing with medication/dose/effectiveness are in German, but it's all easily understood. 
Suggestions:
Many headache sufferers are women and could benefit from a male/female tab or option to change symptoms and triggers

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2013-03-24*

At last somewhere I can record my headaches and know exactly the time, date, intensity..... Everything! And free!! 
Great stuff.... Does exactly as it says!!

### 5/5 — At last

*2013-02-01*

Very glad I have finally found an app that you can use to diarise your migraines with ease. You can't argue about the price (free), it is easy to use and I really like the reports you can see. Would recommend, and have already.

### 5/5 — good!!!

*2013-01-13*

I love it!

### 5/5 — Super

*2012-08-11*

Macht genau, was es soll. Kein Schnick-Schnack. Einfach und zweckmäßig und das gratis. TOLL

### 4/5 — Gut, aber keine Erklärungen

*2021-02-15*

Ich verwende die App schon sehr lange und bin im Großen und Ganzen zufrieden damit. Allerdings sind beim letzten Update 3 Jahre Tagebuch gelöscht worden, was ich persönlich sehr ärgerlich finde. Ich hatte die Daten nämlich nicht exportiert und jetzt kann ich wieder ganz von vorne anfangen. Was mich außerdem stört, ist der Bereich „Behandlung“. Bei der Grafik verstehe ich einfach nicht, was die beiden Balken bedeuten sollen und es gibt keine Hilfe-Funktion, die dies erklären würde. Also noch Luft nach oben...

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2019-04-09*

I’ve been having head aches for 4 weeks and my doctor said I should get an app to track them this works
