Best Pain Management App
I love that this app is simple yet useful it doesn’t lock you behind a paywall to access basic tracking needs.Each question is also customizable so you can input your own information. If anyone needs a pain tracking app i highly recommend this app.
Helpful & Simple
I waited until I’ve been using this app for over a year to make sure I really liked it. It’s exactly what you need if you’re trying to collect data points on your pain. The charts are very handy and I gave them to my GP who appreciated how clear they were. It’s also really nice that this is a free app and that you can personalise it a bit, thank you to the developers.

Hate this app. Not helpful. Waste of time. Tracks your pain. That’s it. You honestly shouldn’t need an app for that. 10 years of my life in pain I think I understand my triggers, symptoms, and what does or doesn’t work. It will suggest you see a psychiatrist, use mindfulness, and breathing exercises to control pain. Let me say if any of that worked I wouldn’t need to see a specialist. So frustrating to have to log your pain, and nothing come of it. Why should I have to use this app for my provider to believe I’m in pain? Absolute nonsense.

We're sorry that you didn't find the app useful. Everything in the app is evidence-based and co-developed with a multidisciplinary team of pain clinicians. Manage My Pain will not be able to reduce your pain - it is intended to help you communicate your pain to your care-team in a way that can support data-driven decision-making, and to introduce you to evidence-based self-management strategies that you can use alongside your existing pain management interventions such as medications, physical therapy, or surgery. We recognize that our app isn't for everyone, but we're happy to that you gave it a try, and are always open to hearing any suggestions or feedback about what would make it more useful for you.
Not very easy to use
Have to pay extra for graphs or reports. Didn’t show a very good summary
Nur aktuelle Einträge nicht rückwirkend
Die Bedienung ist auf dem Tablett einfach. Gute Übersicht und dank Schnellbausteinen und eigenen Ergänzungen sehr gut. Leider kann man immer nur im aktuellen Jahr Daten eintragen. Hätte gerne auch nachträglich für das letzte Jahr Symptome eingetragen und einen Bericht erstellt.
Ein Abo auf Pro Version erscheint aktuell auch nicht bei Kaufoptionen, man kann nur Guthabenpunkte erwerben. Hab es am Handy und Tablett versucht. Klappt auch nicht wenn man angemeldet ist. Schade an sich super, jetzt erstell ich meinen Bericht am Computer.

Hello - the issue with not being able to enter older records was actually a bug that was introduced in the last version. The good news is that we've now fixed the issue and you should be able to enter all records from all years without restriction! You also can upgrade to a subscription if you choose. Sorry about the inconvenience. If you ever have issues, please email us at contact@managinglife.com
Extremely helpful & overlooked app
I wanted a simple tracker for logging my chronic pain and was dubious when I saw this app due to limited number or reviews but I’ve been pleasantly surprised. It is extremely straightforward for rating pain out of 10 at any day and time, logging duration, and tagging bodily parts & sensations as well as contributing factors. You can then view the logs in report form or calendar view (was specifically looking for a simple view of how often the pain arises on a calendar format). Very impressed.

Scams you
The app will scam you if you pay. You need to purchase a credit to generate a report older than 30 days, but once you do, it won’t let you generate the report.
Helps me remember to track pain
This has been really helpful for me. It's easy to navigate, I can see all the pain reports I've made, and I feel comfortable knowing that I could share this with my doctor at some point to talk to them about it.
Ok, but!
Keeps crashing! After the update around the 12 September, app keeps crashing when click onto the add your pain record.
Pretty disappointing given it was working fine yesterday and was meeting all my needs. Would have given it a five star review yesterday!

Neurodivergent Perfection
1. I NEVER leave reviews
2. Appreciation- Day 4 using and all I can say is thank you so so so much! A free app that actually helps me organize my pain and what’s associated with it. WOW.
3. Use- simple, effective. Reports are incredible. The ability to add in whatever you need can make this app a robust tool for connecting physical ailments with mental, emotional, and physical factors. I’m honestly blown away.
4. Neurodivergent peeps (Esp ADHD) I have always struggled with keeping track of my health in general but when my pain therapist told me I needed to be mindful of triggers and keep notes it became overwhelming. I had 3 different notebooks that all sorts overlapped and kept using the notes in my phone to keep track of pain anyways— it was a mess. This app fixed everything. I struggle to advocate for myself and the chronic pain I experience when coupled with my neurodivergence. I truly think this app will help me with that.
5. Conclusion: Like I stated above— with the simplicity, customization, reminders, and generated reports/results offered in this app are absolutely 10/10 amazing. It has helped me to be more mindful of my pain and what’s associated is triggering it in just 4 days. I am really excited (for the first time) to see how this tool can better help me advocate for myself. Thank you so much developer(s)!

Fantastic app
Great app for tracking my migraines. Very easy to look back and see when it was happening.
Easy to use
I have used this app for a couple of months and it’s been very easy to use and it helps me track pain triggers and what is working to ease the pain.
Great for tracking
I use this app to keep a record for my GP so we can work on triggers etc and what meds work when and where.
Lässt sich perfekt individualisieren
Mit Abstand die besten Voraussetzungen um auf meine persönlichen Bedürfnisse angepasst zu werden. Das bietet keine andere App in diesem Bereich.

Pain management
This Pain Management App is really helpful and is very organized and precise and & records my daily pain management - so that I can control my pain w/ meds & exercise & physical therapy and I really enjoy using this App & it's great.
New user
So far quite easy and able to add specific parts of the body or locations is useful
really helpful and effective!
This app is easy to use and super effective. You can easily long pain increases and decreases in detail and generate overall reports!
A useful tool
I’ve been using MMP regularly for a year now. It was recommended to me by healthcare team, and for good reason: it has helped me recognize patterns and trends in the pain I feel, along with highlighting what interventions have been most/least helpful in my own pain management. My healthcare team are connected with the app so that they’re able to follow along with my progress and provide suggestions. Because the app also allows the addition of logging daily activities, I’ve seen progress in my functionality as my treatment continues. It’s a great motivator for self care.

We're so happy to hear that our app has been helpful for you, especially alongside the care you're already receiving. Thanks for sharing!
For a free app? Pretty good!
A helpful app, especially post major surgery, to keep track of all the pain. My only issue is that it seems they have really taken into consideration a LOT of obscure factors whilst maybe neglecting some things that feel obvious.
I’d like to see the option to rate pain in halves. For example, 2.5 instead of having to choose between 2-3. Perhaps that’s a pedantic request but it would be helpful. I also wish there was a way to tailor the app to always ignore the daily reflection. I don’t really have the time to write anything more than my daily pain levels and it’s annoying when it keeps popping up.

Great app!
I have been using this app for three years to track my daughter’s pain and it is great.

-lots of different factors and categories. You can add your own and personalise the order of lists, which is helpful.
-The development of pain strength over different periods of time is visualised in graphs, which are very helpful to show doctors.
- statistical information is helpful to try to identify triggers and solutions
- the daily reflection scale can be used to track a second symptom in parallel to the first
- not many
- it would be great to be able to track different kinds of pain at the same time, eg. Headaches and stomach aches and seizures/ drop attacks
- the duration tracker can be misleading, because it creates an average on the graph, so if someone has a few hours a pain level 8, but mostly a 4, it might come out the same as someone with a whole day 5. This makes it difficult to show doctors improvement from medication
