### 2/5 — Never Correct

*2026-08-26, version 90.0.21193*

It has not gotten my sleep time correct one time in 5 months. This isn’t useful to me.

### 5/5 — Headaches

*2026-08-10, version 89.0.20386*

Track

### 4/5 — One suggestion

*2026-08-07, version 89.0.20386*

When entering symptoms for a previous migraine it always defaults to today’s date, so you have to manually enter the date and time for each symptom. I don’t love that. This takes too long and it’s not really worth it to enter a record for a migraine that has already passed. We aren’t always able to do this while the migraine is happening and we are experiencing especially debilitating symptoms.

### 5/5 — So helpful!

*2026-08-07, version 89.0.20386*

Thank you I need to be able to see what’s going g on with my attacks to try and understand triggers etc. this is a really useful app thank you

### 5/5 — Outil facile

*2026-08-06*

Cette application est devenu un support pour mes suivis de rdv liés aux migraines. J’avais tenté les supports papiers comme me le proposaient les médecins mais impossible de m’y tenir. Là c’est devenu facile d’où l’assiduité qui r
Approche la réalité

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour se partage d'expérience. Je suis ravie que l'appli vous aide à mieux communiquer avec votre docteur. 💖Jenny

### 4/5 — Helps a lo

*2026-08-03, version 89.0.20386*

A little buggy and clunky but so much easier to record

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-07-23, version 89.0.20386*

It’s a great app I love how they have even took the colours and brightness into consideration the only thing I would want for it to be perfect is widgets for your lock screen.

### 5/5 — It’s the best migraine app period point blank.

*2026-07-23, version 89.0.20386*

Genuinely has saved me, this app provides such a comfort in knowing I can track my flares correctly and accurately. It brings a sort of peace knowing I can save my reports and show my doctor and that my experiences are valid. I’m just waiting for the medication reminders to be set up!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-07-20, version 89.0.20386*

Found it very helpful and definitely recommend for anyone as it is so easy to use and you only have to answer a few questions about the Attack when you have one

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2026-07-16, version 89.0.20386*

Incredibly helpful pin pointing where my migraines are coming from and tracking them. The notes section is great!

### 4/5 — Good to Track

*2026-07-15, version 89.0.20386*

It’s still hard for me to navigate the end time.  I am 65 ,  and mepretty literate with apps, but sometimes this app is confusing .  Not always straight forward

### 5/5 — Helpful tracking

*2026-07-14, version 89.0.20386*

Love this for tracking the humidity and barometric pressure, helps me keep a log so I can see patterns and make note of longer migraines

### 5/5 — Genuinely amazing

*2026-07-14, version 89.0.20386*

This is so annoying at first because the last thing you want to do during an attack is log anything. but it’s helped so much and I have been so grateful

### 4/5 — Useful!!

*2026-07-14, version 89.0.20386*

I think this is a wonderful app, between being FREE and good at tracking and a place to log headaches and migraines. I think there’s are some additions such as a space for notes or a graph for variables that correlate with the migraines. However, this app has helped me tremendously in keeping up with logging my migraines, seeing patterns, especially with needed help and needing to report to my doctor. There are no adds shoved down your throat, and you’re actually encouraged to customize the app to help you better. Super recommend this!!!!!

### 4/5 — Easy to track, but…

*2026-07-13, version 89.0.20386*

I have daily symptoms so I knew most trackers wouldn’t meet my exact needs. (For example I rarely have a start and stop time!) This app is easy to log symptoms and relief methods by tapping an icon. You can also adjust what you want to track. My issue was trying to understand the results. After 3 months I’m trying to assess the data and it’s clunky to try to see any patterns. To view notes you need to go into each individual entry. Otherwise this is a great app but I’d love to see an easier way to monitor trends. (I used the free version.)

### 5/5 — Best headache app!

*2026-07-12, version 89.0.20386*

I used the App since 2019 and I could found a lot about my headache by it. I love it

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — App keeps crashing

*2026-08-20, version 90.0.21027*

It won’t open

### 1/5 — Feeling scammed/upgrade

*2026-08-16, version 90.0.21027*

I didn’t want the upgraded version but I clicked too fast and couldn’t undo it. Waiting to hear if I can get my $24.99 back.

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2026-08-15, version 90.0.21027*

Do not pay for the “upgrade”. Nothing changes and there’s no customer support.

### 1/5 — Would be nice if it worked

*2026-08-08, version 89.0.20386*

Very glitchy app. Half the time, sleep cycle won’t update or confirm. Pressure variation forecast just spins and locks up the rest of the app.

### 1/5 — Really Busy and Kind of a Scam

*2026-05-11, version 88.0.19802*

Supposedly this app can be used without paying for premium, but there is no way around that screen other than to pick a payment option and there is no trial period so you have to pay for a minimum of 2 months in order to even try it. As soon as I am able to, I will be requesting a refund.
The layout isn’t as intuitive as I had hoped, and it’s really busy with these cutesy cartoon humans doing weird things that seem to have nothing to do with what’s around them. It’s hard to find what you need around all of those. 
This is supposed to be “the best” migraine app, but I tried a few others that are completely free, and I’ll be going with one of those. Maybe I’m a minimalist when I’m having a migraine, but this was just overwhelming and over cluttered to me. Plus, I had to spend $25 just to try it. 
There are apps that are actually free. Try those instead.

### 1/5 — Update stinks

*2026-05-04, version 88.0.19802*

Can’t seem to maneuver thru the update at all! I could use very easily before. Now I can’t even find where to add a headache let alone it won’t let me change meds.   Don’t find this to be user friendly at all. Neurologist was really interested in my info from this app! Very disappointing!

### 1/5 — Unreadable font sizes, annoying upsells

*2026-04-23, version 88.0.19802*

The app tracks a bunch of interesting data, but the design and usability are awful. The font sizes are ridiculously small. They scale with system font size but always at half what they should be. If your headaches include visual blurring, you’ll struggle to use the app at all.

### 1/5 — Lack of confidentiality

*2026-04-22, version 88.0.19802*

I liked the app but realized that they are either sharing or selling your information. I have been receiving spam emails since installing it but only realized once I read the apps name in that spam email

### 1/5 — Cancel Button??

*2026-04-22, version 88.0.19802*

Not at all impressed with back and forth needed to cancel / refund my year sub.  Still not done. It seems like customer service should be able to cancel for me!  Provided screen shots.  No ‘button’ to cancel, says expiring 2027… still being sent back to Apple.  Sub has to be cancelled BEFORE I ask Apple to please refund my money.

Update:  in response to the response… that’s the point.  There was NO button.   I’m device / app savvy enough to know how to cancel sub.  I had to request Apple do it in a trouble ticket.  Should not have needed to do that.  Apple took care of my cancellatioN AND my refund.

### 1/5 — Cancel Button??

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2026-08-31, version 90.0.21193*

It was hard to know what these symptoms were related to and what a migraine encompassed. I’m enjoying the details in the app Thankyou it’s only been a few days

### 5/5 — A lifesaver & mystery solver

*2026-08-26, version 90.0.21193*

This app has helped me keep track of my chronic intractable migraines for over 5 years. It has helped me communicate with my neurologists and other doctors. My memory has been affected by my migraines, which means having records in Migraine Buddy have helped fill in the gaps. Thank you, MB!!

### 5/5 — Best App I’ve Tried

*2026-08-24, version 90.0.21193*

Very detailed which helped me identify my triggers and track what helps relieve my migraines and what doesn’t.

### 5/5 — A helpful tool

*2026-08-22, version 90.0.21027*

The app offers so much not just tracking, it gives a real insight in to your own migraine journey, offers great insights and advice on food, triggers, mitigation strategies etc - the data you can show your Dr or Neurologist is so clear. I have awful chronic migraines and have recently been experiencing up to 5 attacks a week, the preventative treatment I was on was no longer helpful as I have hit peri menopause my migraines have become very tricky and working full time it’s been very difficult and worrying. This app is actually supporting me though this life transition and has helped me and my Dr find a new preventative treatment plan, early days but fingers crossed it works and tracking and monitoring using this great app is part of that prevention management strategy.

### 5/5 — Not just an App

*2026-08-21, version 90.0.21027*

So educational, answering questions I didn’t know I had.
So supportive when I felt so alone.
So well designed, an easy to use app that seriously listens to the audience. 
Migraine Buddy is not just an App, it’s an Educator and a Community.

### 5/5 — Easy

*2026-08-20, version 90.0.21027*

So easy to use to keep track of your migraines

### 5/5 — Great documentation

*2026-08-20, version 90.0.21027*

It has helped me document my migraines and shows the history of when they happen. Me being in the military it’s good to document when and where it happens for my benefits in the future.

### 5/5 — A helpful buddy

*2026-08-15, version 90.0.21027*

I'm finding this so helpful in trying to work out a pattern for my migraines. I like the picture you can pinpoint where the pain is. If only they did another one for keeping a diary of pain/symptoms elsewhere in the body.

### 5/5 — Migraine buddy user

*2026-08-15, version 90.0.21027*

This app was recommended by my Neurologist and has been a great tool to minimize and understand effects & triggers to understand my health better.  Life changing.  Thank you!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-10, version 89.0.20386*

Don’t usually write reviews but I though I might because I’ve been using this app for so long. 
It’s honestly so easy to use. So easy to record attacks and share them with my doctors. I can’t recommend this app enough as someone who suffers from chronic headaches and migraines.
