### 1/5 — Light Mode vs Dark Mode Issue Unresolved

*2026-03-11, version 1.17*

Love this app, gave it 5 stars previously, but the most recent update has created an issue of the iOS Light Mode vs Dark Mode where some buttons like the X/Cancel - Tick/OK buttons on many screens are not visible as it is a while tick box on a white Light background. Can’t see the cursor position when entering text in Notes for the same reason. Please fix, as this is a fabulous app.

### 5/5 — Best Migraine App Out There!

*2025-11-07, version 1.17*

I am (or used to be) a chronic migraineur.  I have been trying to track headaches for at least 20 years and have tried numerous apps, including apps designed by doctor’s offices for their patients’ use.  NONE of them beats this app.  You can fill in your data quickly, giving as much or as little detail as you want.  It’s easy to look back at individual headaches if desired, but my favorite feature is the charts!  It is fabulous for me to be able to see clear data showing a decrease in attacks, or in frequency of medication.  And if things are going in the wrong direction, that’s all there to print or screenshot and share with your doc.  Also, this app is well supported and updated frequently.  I have recorded migraine attacks for 3.5 years, and all that data is still there!  Love it!

### 4/5 — Great app, perfect for tracking

*2025-11-02, version 1.17*

Really good app, does what I need, prefect to track migraines, would love a dark app icon to make it fits IOS26, I would up this to 5* if this was added, if you need a app for migraine tracking use this… keep up the great work

### 5/5 — best app to track headaches

*2025-01-28*

Melhor app para registro de enxaquecas. Muito completo. Só não está atualizando o calendário 2025

### 2/5 — App is dead?

*2025-01-19, version 1.15*

Not sure what’s going on with the app, it used to be perfect. Now all the dates on calendars are blocked out. I think it’s dead.

### 5/5 — Must have for migraines

*2024-10-10, version 1.15*

Migraines are the worst! Having this app allows you to easily track and add factors to see if you can possibly pinpoint related causes. Especially comes in handy when doctors are asking all the questions you can simply pull this app to look back when all you remember is the pain. I appreciate very much this app.

### 5/5 — Does everything you’d expext

*2024-10-09, version 1.15*

Great. Free. Does the job well. Doesn’t need an account or subscription.

### 1/5 — Error

*2024-10-04*

Desde la ultima actualización no sale el calendario salen todos los días como 0. Lo van a arreglar ????

### 4/5 — Fast perfekte App

*2024-08-18*

An sich eine tolle App, um seine Kopfschmerzen, Auslöser, und Behandlungsmöglichkeiten zu protokollieren. Einziges kleines Manko: man sollte auch die Tage festhalten können, wo man eben schmerzfrei ist und die Bedingungen unter denen das Auftritt. Nur so kann man ja am Ende die wirklichen Auslöser für Schmerzen oder auch   Bedingungen für schmerzfreie Tage identifizieren daher mein Verbesserungsvorschlag: es wäre toll, wenn man auch schmerzfreie Tage und die dabei vorherrschenden Bedingungen festhalten könnte. zweites kleines Problem: unter VoiceOver ist es leider nicht immer möglich, die Schmerzintensität einzutragen. Wenn dieser Fehler auch behoben würde, wäre es toll.

### 5/5 — Simple and Effective

*2024-06-28, version 1.15*

Very happy using this app to keep track of feedback for Neurologist.
