## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Forcing account creation

*2026-06-14*

App was good but forces account creation now.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2026-05-24*

Tried to gain access to the app in a game when an athlete had a possible concussion. The app asked for phone or email to send a code. I had set up an account previously, but received no code to my phone and an error message saying my email didn’t exist. Then, when I tried to register a new account with my email, I received an error message saying I couldn’t do that because that email is already registered. 

Meanwhile, precious time is being wasted on the evaluation and treatment of a possible head injury in kid sport. 

I was really optimistic about this tool and how great it would be on game days, so this was really disheartening.

### 1/5 — Does not work! closes down when in the app

*2018-02-07*

when we use the app it closes down!!! needs an update

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2018-01-20*

Keeps crashing every time a yes response is selected

### 5/5 — Amazing resource. Every parent and sport associate should have this.

*2024-03-20*

My daughter banged her her with another child in dance. It seemed minor but within an hour she was vomiting. Using this app I was able to monitor her symptoms and ended up seeking medical assistance which determined she did have concussion. I’ve since continued using it for her recovery plan and to monitor her symptoms improving.

### 5/5 — Great App for Parents/Trainers/Teachers

*2018-05-22*

Fantastic App for Parents/Trainers/Teachers to have on hand should a head knock occur.

A must have!

### 5/5 — Restored peace and order!

*2015-08-21*

Tonight I was out having dinner when I heard a little girl crying, she was holding her head as she ran past me to her mother. As they turned around I would see a lump the size of a golf ball on her head. The mother was getting into a panic and ask the restaurant for some ice, I grabbed my phone and immediately opened my HeadCheck app, walked over and introduced myself and said is it ok if I ask you a few questions, both were ok, went through all the questions and answers and by the end of the questions we were able to determine if she needed to go to emergency. The mum was so grateful for me being there and was able to keep her calm. All in all the app was brilliant and easy to follow, gave very specific instructions via the cards, thank you 😄

### 5/5 — Must Have

*2015-07-08*

A must have for any parent. The language used in the app is very simple and doesn't require prior medical knowledge.

### 5/5 — Peace of mind

*2015-07-07*

Gives you peace of mind in a quick and simple way.

### 5/5 — Simple and powerful

*2015-06-05*

Just really simple to use and backed by medical professionals.

Can easily be used to take the guess work out of deciding on whether your child has a concussion or not and what to do.

### 5/5 — Handy

*2014-06-26*

Very handy tool to have.
