### 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

### 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.

### 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.

### 2/5 — Can’t sync

*2023-08-24, version 1.15*

Can’t sync between iPhone iPad anymore as I’ve forgotten my password and the reset web page is broken I loved this app for years but its no good now as I’m locked out essentially

### 5/5 — Muy fàcil de usar

*2023-02-26*

Antes usaba otra, pero dejò de estar disponible sin previo aviso, perdiendo todos los datos históricos. He encontrado èsta y me resulta más sencilla de usar, además de que da muchas más información, incluyendo gráficos.

### 5/5 — Dark Mode now works

*2023-01-19, version 1.15*

Thanks for enabling Dark Mode again in the new version.

### 5/5 — So useful!

*2023-01-19, version 1.15*

I’ve used all kinds of apps to track my migraines and HeadApp is far and away THE best! It’s so nice to show the app to my neurologist so she can see my symptoms, triggers, progress, and patterns. It eliminates all the guesswork. I’m willing to bet the app creator has migraines.

### 4/5 — Font/background color

*2023-01-14, version 1.14*

Loved this app! Would give it 5 stars but the last update changed the font and background color to be the same on things like when your headache stopped and started or when you took medication.

### 5/5 — Super !!

*2023-01-09*

Diese App ist Klasse !

### 5/5 — Merci - problème janvier 2023

*2023-01-08*

Bonjour 
L’application ne se comporte plus comme avant. L’affichage est plus large et nous ne pouvons plus choisir des dates (entre autres). Pouvez-vous regarder pourquoi ? (IOS16.2)
Merci

- Pour cette application de bonne qualité. - De la laisser disponible en France. - De nous aider à suivre ces moments de douleurs afin de pouvoir discuter avec les médecins Merci

### 4/5 — Sehr gute App bis auf

*2022-12-31*

Ich habe nach einer App gesucht, die nicht nur auf Migräne passend ist. Diese App ist  richtig stimmig. So individuell einstellbar, gibt es bei kaum einer anderen App. Ich bin mega zufrieden. 

Leider wird seit dem letzten Update ein andauernder Kopfschmerz beim ablegen der App nicht mehr gekennzeichnet. Auch erhalte ich keine Erinnerung mehr ob der Kopfschmerz aktuell ist. 

Weiterhin wäre es super den Export der Dateien einzustellen bzw zu filtern.

### 3/5 — Problem seit letztem Update

*2022-12-25*

Seit dem letzten Update manche Menüs nicht mehr lesbar, wenn Dunkelmode fürs Telefon eingestellt. Z.B. Datum und Uhrzeit für Anfang und Ende der Schmerzen…

### 2/5 — Great app but not in dark mode

*2022-12-25, version 1.14*

So, naturally a migraine sufferer is going to want to use dark mode especially when having a migraine but the new app doesn’t work in dark mode, ridiculous!

### 5/5 — Kudos and tweaks needed in update

*2022-12-21, version 1.14*

Great app - more straightforward and simpler to use than others. Very quick to log headaches and meds, as well as comprehensive reporting. I did notice that the new version has issues with dark mode - the contrast is now messed up, especially as it shows dates/times. Seems ok in non- dark mode. Also, I see that the font is bigger and/or now bold. This created a formatting issue in some cases where text wraps to new line. Maybe ok on larger screens?

### 5/5 — A great tool to help track headaches and migraine

*2022-12-18, version 1.14*

Easy to use good app to track migraine and headaches. Can get a report for which ever dates you require is good. To be able to take that to drs &neuro appts is fantastic

### 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.

### 1/5 — Error

*2024-10-04*

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

### 1/5 — Impossible to create account 🤬

*2023-08-07, version 1.15*

Sooo as previous reviews have stated ITS not possible to see the words or letters to input anything as the background color makes this impossible to setup or use #fail

Why not fix your App when you did the update 6 months ago as the issues have been reported to you for almost a year??

Only installed the app because I saw you had updated the app 6 months ago BUT the one thing many reviews mentioned YoU didn’t fix??? 🤔🔮☢️😥

### 1/5 — Doesnt work anymore on Mac

*2023-01-17*

Its broken

### 1/5 — Most recent update killed the app

*2023-01-10, version 1.14*

This app used to be fantastic and helped me to see patterns with my headaches to aid in treatment. The last update has the text the same color as the background, so it’s impossible to get into the app, and if you do, you can’t see the dates or times to enter a headache if it’s not “now” or “30 min/1hour” ago. Looking for another app

### 1/5 — Can’t even log in

*2022-10-22, version 1.13*

Constant errors, resetting password does nothing

### 1/5 — Promising but data is bad.

*2020-07-23, version 1.13*

This app shows promise, but when I imported sleep data from Apple health it says I slept for nearly 24 hours! Nope. Not even close. This makes me wonder if any other data might be trustworthy.  Previous days show similar results or even that I’ve slept more than 25 hours on a given day.

### 1/5 — Will not allow login

*2018-04-19, version 1.10*

This app was working fine for me. But since this Facebook issue I can no longer login into the app through face book nor will it allow me to login with my email. Tried to set up account and says email already used which means I’m setup just wont allow me to login in. Glitch? Or is it beachside of Facebook

### 1/5 — Read the privacy agreement

*2017-01-12, version 1.4*

The app could be good but I'll never know. Downloaded the app and read the privacy agreement while creating my account. Won't be signing up.

### 1/5 — Holy Data Mine!

*2016-11-10, version 1.3*

Installed this app to track my migraines.  Looked at the registration options.  Facebook, Google or Create an Account.  Tapped the create an account option just to see what they needed.  They want everything.  Look at their Privacy Policy.  Why does a Headache Tracker need to see my interests?  Why does it need my address?  No thanks, I'll pass.

### 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!

### 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

### 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.

### 5/5 — Simple and Effective

*2024-06-28, version 1.15*

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

### 5/5 — Just wish I could track seconds

*2024-04-18, version 1.15*

I use it to track ice pick headaches which usually occur for 10 ish seconds at a time so i just wish i could track a headache for less than a minute. Other than that by far the best headache tracking app that I’ve used

### 5/5 — Melhor app para enxaqueca

*2023-12-03*

Melhor aplicativo para acompanhamento . Interface fácil e direta de uso. Gráficos e relatórios. Bem intuitivo .

### 5/5 — Tracks everthing

*2023-09-16, version 1.15*

This app offers everything the most expensive app offers except the atmosphere pressure change leading up to your headache and the tips and community chatting. I tried those for a few months and found they were not useful to me. I get 1 to 4 attacks per month and the atmosphere pressure was always constant. These two features might be useful to a sufferer that has chronic migraines but if not this app tracks everything else and does it with better clarity of design.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2023-08-01, version 1.15*

It’s brilliant, the best I’ve used and the report it generates is excellent.

### 5/5 — Tolle App nutze sie für meine Cluster Kopfschmerzen

*2023-07-12*

Ich nutze die app für meine Cluster Kopfschmerzen und hab damit alles immer im Blick. Auch zur Dokumentation bestens geeignet.
