Obrigada pelo teu apoio, An@! Fico feliz por gostares tanto do Migraine Buddy — ❤️ Jenny

Font to small to use

With so many users I was optimistic, but the font size is so small it’s impossible to use, even on ipad.

Log Multiple

It is frustrating that I can only log one migraine at a time. I would prefer to be able to log past migraines while I am reporting a current migraine too. I also wish that less questions were asked.

Not for me; especially while having a migraine.

Frustrating, when having an attack or sensitive to light before/after a migraine with this app you have to answer screens of questions, start time, triggers, mood, pain type, area, medication…. On & on, what meditation, how much, when, did it help…
All way too much while dealing with a migraine.
The questionnaires that pop up several times a day that are “analysing” your migraines are annoying. Not being funny but I don’t care if 75% of others have fatigue or yawning, I just want to log how many migraines are affecting my month. The final straw for me was it analysing my sleep, every night (10pm ish) it would say good morning shall I log your sleep? I have tried everything to find why it is logging my sleep at the wrong time & thinks I was up at 2am. I even deleted everything & started again. Nope!

Thank you for your comments. It’s up to you to decide which screens you want to fill in during an attack. This option can be found in the app’s main menu, under ‘Adjust the recording screen’. You can also just record the start time and use the circular arrow in the top left-hand corner of the screen to exit the app and return to it when you’re feeling better to complete the remaining screens. There are solutions for all the points raised in your review. Please contact me at Jenny@migrainebuddy.com so that I can help you customise the app to suit your needs. ❤️ Jenny

Only just started using this app

I’ve only just started using this app. I researched many migraine apps before choosing this one but it came out top in all my research so I decided to go with it. It’s very early days but so far so good. One thing I will say is that it is quite confusing to navigate. I searched for “how to” guides but there aren’t any that actually show you. There is a help page but it just talks you through how to, for example, log an attack but what would be helpful is to know which button to press, ie; a visual aid , ie; to log an attack, click this icon, etc.

Easy to use and helpful insight

Very easy to use app for tracking migraines and provides useful insights/feedback. I also like that you can be as detailed as you want and still can easily recognize patterns.

Great app

Very helpful

Very Helpful & Much Needed

I have been using this app for several years now. I originally downloaded when I started to realize I was getting migraines on a regular basis and needed a convenient and reliable way to track them for my doctor. This app helped me see not only was I having chronic migraines, about 25 a month, I was also dealing with prodrome and postdrome symptoms, something I had never tracked before.

Thanks to Migraine Buddy, I was able to tell my neurologist exactly how many migraines I was getting a month, what my triggers were, and my exact symptoms, and it helped me figure out what reliefs worked and what didn’t. I got diagnosed with Vestibular Migraines, placed on a preventative and given stronger relief meds that actually work! To say this app has been a lifesaver is not an overstatement at all. Without it, I would still be suffering with daily/constant dizziness, almost constant low level head pain, blurry vision, neck pain, and more.

Útil

Obrigado pelo seu apoio. 💖Jenny

Just a suggestion

It would be great if the app could keep track of the ebb and flow of the pain levels throughout the same migraine period. Currently if you change the pain levels, the event shows as being low or high the entire time which is inaccurate.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. The feature allowing you to record changes in pain intensity during an attack is available as part of the MBplus package. In the meantime, you can record these changes on the ‘Notes’ screen within the attack timeline and use the timestamp to specify the time at which they occurred. Please do not hesitate to contact Jenny@migrainebuddy.com if you need further assistance with the app.💖Jenny

Very helpful

This app gives me valuable insight into my headache patterns.

Free version exceptional; paid version bonuses

This app is fabulous. The free version allows you to track your headaches put in your symptoms. What could possibly have caused it, and a whole slew of detail, and provides reports that you can share with your Medical team. This is one of the first apps that actually seems like they’re trying to help you instead of just make money. While I understand the business side of it; they do need to make money in order to survive, it is refreshing to find a very competent app that does more than you expect.

Really good app

This is honestly a really good app to keep track of my migraines, I only wish that there was a way to log abdominal migraines as well, weather as a different section or as another symptom with its own log or pain scale.

Free version is helpful!!

I use the Free version and it’s so helpful!! My last migraine was 13 days and being able to track that and what medication I used to try and get rid of it was great. You can track your. Triggers, meds, pain level all from the Free version!! I may try the Premium paid version sometime to get better reports for my doctor. This doctor is the 1st one in 15 years to get me some relief from migraines. The premium version is just a little bit pricey. I highly recommend this app though!!!!!

Migraine Buddy

My Neurologist suggested I use Migraine Buddy app, this has been a game changer for me and my treatment plan. Has helped me track and understand my migraines a d treatment

Great resource!

Headaches are terrible, but this app is amazing! I never thought tracking my headaches would make a difference, but on the contrary, it’s put a lot of things into perspective. This app has really helped me collect all of the physical, mental, and environmental info that contributes to my headaches; and also the tools to figure out what works best for me. Thanks!

Makes tracking so much easier

This app makes tracking my migraines a breeze with a few clicks.

Keepsake App

This is a subscription I keep through every change in my life.

Love this app!(as a longtime user)

Not only is this great for tracking my migraines, but I love the facts they send in the emails! The app is really simple to use, and as someone mentioned, no ads!!Definitely a must have for anyone with migraines:,)!

Hard to use

Very surprised it’s rated so well. I find it extremely hard to use. No real tutorial -written or video. No identification of icons. No place to record headaches that aren’t migraines or fluctuating pain levels. Have spent hours trying to figure it out.
