Very disappointing as this was the best tracker. ### 4/5 — Good on watch *2025-06-13, version 4.9* I use this app because it is easy to keep track of symptoms on the Apple Watch. I just wish there was a way to record headache as a symptom on the watch, because I get both silent and chronic migraines. ### 3/5 — Not impressed *2025-06-06, version 4.9* I wanted something to track my frequency of headaches and when I took medications. However this software only allows updates to medications if I pay for it. No thanks. My meds are expensive enough! ### 2/5 — Deceptive Practices *2024-12-01, version 4.7.1* Thins I used to have access to are now behind a paywall, with no notice… I used to be able to see all last migraines, but now I can only see the current month, which is completely useless. I’ll be looking for a way to export my data so I can use a different app. ### 4/5 — Works pretty well so far *2023-12-02, version 3.9* I have not tried premium (yet) but even the free features seem pretty good. I like having the ability to track headache incidents as well as other symptoms, triggers, notes, and medications taken. A few requests/bugs: - I would like to have an easy way to report a headache that only lasts for a few seconds - Typing in the “Add to log” text box only adds a note to the current day (even if I am looking at a different day at the time) - Clicking the “Add rain or snow” button always wants to put the rain on Sunday, even though today is Friday and I am looking at the Friday page - I would like there to be a log for symptoms and triggers - It would be great to have the pain map available for generic symptoms ### 5/5 — So helpful - love this app *2023-10-08* Thanks for making an app where I can track different types of migraine and headache episodes. My doc recommended this app just for that. ### 5/5 — One of the best apps I’ve used… period. *2023-09-05, version 3.6* The title says it all. This app is a game changer. ### 3/5 — Confusing *2023-07-06, version 3.3* It has updated so many times lately, it is not easy to navigate anymore. Good concept, not user friendly. ### 4/5 — Love this! *2023-06-14* Idk why I can get stars to show but this is a 5. I just started dealing with migraines that are more than take Advil, have a cup of coffee, put in an eye mask, sleep for 4 hours. First multi day one happened about a month ago and my physician, who I love, jumped on it as let’s figure this out. I tried a couple different migraine tracking apps and they were so confusing because info had to be added exactly right to get it to show up at all. This one, from other reviews, sounds like there’s been a lot of thought put into it. It’s simple to use. When I’m in the middle of a migraine and having trouble even looking at a screen I can enter the info I need very quickly. And when I had trouble with sleep tracking, Lynn was amazing at helping me figure out what the glitch was without talking down to me like so many developers do. I will say I learned the if you’re using another sleep tracking app, it may interfere with the automatic tracking on this app, but that seems to be an issue with Apple’s native sleep tracking, that is a newer feature for iPhone and has its own bugs that need to be worked out. I took the third party sleep tracking app off my phone, set the data source to just my Apple Watch (you could do just your phone too) and it works much better. If you have trouble, reach out because Lynn clearly wants this to be the best app possible, but there are things Apple does with updates that makes things wonky. ### 4/5 — Significant updates *2023-05-29, version 3.3* This app has been updated very significantly since I last used it, looks rewritten. It does look like a lot of my original complaints have been addressed. I don't see a way to delete this review entirely, so I'm leaving the original text below for context. I'm leaving four stars in case I forget to come back and update the review again after spending more time with the app. ---------------------- OLD REVIEW BELOW The overall design is pretty straightforward, and seems like it'd potentially be helpful, but there are a lot of bugs -- everything from unresponsive buttons, to misinterpreted gestures, to the wrong items being selected, to times being wrong, to scrolling not being correctly matched to finger position. They interfere with use of the app. I'd also like more expressiveness in logging headaches and categorizing non-headaches. For instance, caffeine could be a trigger or a treatment. A headache might come on slowly, and then ramp up in intensity over the course of hours. There isn't currently a clear way to express that kind of information. It'd also be great to have some ability to log weather and meal times (or say, unusual gaps between them). ### 5/5 — Review *2023-05-10, version 3.3* This App is such a great migraine tracker, I have a friend who uses it too we both live it. Moved over from Migraine Buddy. I would give it more stars if I could! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-07-05, version 5.0* I’ve had this app for years and it has been freezing and lagging for the past year. I thought it would get better but it didn’t . You can’t properly mark a migraine without the screen scrolling down and you have to pay for the basic things on there. This is why I didn’t renew my subscription. ### 1/5 — Not showing up *2026-06-30, version 5.0* Not showing up on my apple watch anymore! It was great and so convenient when I could log my migraines by a touch of a button on my watch… then it disappeared and is not available anymore!! BRING IT BACK! ### 1/5 — Warning: you can’t delete your account once made! *2026-06-17, version 5.0* Although there is a button to choose for deleting your account, it is unclickable.. I have reloaded the app, shut down my phone, and still cannot delete my account. ### 1/5 — Used to work *2025-12-29, version 5.0* This app used to work but about 3 weeks ago stopped tracking head pain. You can click the button but nothing is recorded. I’ve reported it multiple times but had zero response. Defeats the purpose of the app if it doesn’t actually track what’s it’s designed for. ### 1/5 — Useless now *2025-04-12, version 4.9* Free version just has pop ups asking you to go to pay version. Pop ups every time you swipe rendering it useless ### 1/5 — Pro version no more *2025-04-12, version 4.9* I supposedly own the pro version but I’m unable to use anything because everything is behind a paywall. Useless and disappointing. ### 1/5 — Was Good *2025-03-03, version 4.8* Was great when you could track and review history in the free version, but now I can’t even go back and look it over without a subscription? Really stupid. ### 1/5 — Questionable payment process *2023-11-27, version 3.9* Never got to try the app because the payment process kept insisting that my ApplePay credit card had expired (it hasn’t) and asking me to enter my card information in the app. Um, no. Deleted app immediately. ### 1/5 — Latest update took away usefulness *2022-10-20, version 2.8* With this latest update, ability to track most useful events was removed, I would guess in order to make users have to pay. I hate the new layout, interface, all. This was the best tracker, previous to the update. Not any more. Intensity of symptoms has also been removed with newest update. ### 1/5 — Fee based app *2022-03-09, version 2.2* They didn’t tell me that they would be charging a mandatory $7.95 a month to use this app. They waited until after I filled in all my information. No thanks! I’ll use a free app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This is the best app for tracking migraines *2026-01-04, version 5.0* This App is such a great migraine tracker, I have a friend who uses it too we both live it. Moved over from Migraine Buddy. I would give it more stars if I could! ### 5/5 — Helpful app, simplifies complex data *2025-12-10, version 4.9* I really like this app. Unlike others, the user interface isn’t overly complicated, yet a large amount of data is still collected for tracking triggers, symptoms, and treatments. Also very customizable to your particular case. Really timely, empathetic communication from the app developer, too. A few tweaks I’d recommend to streamline “fewer clicks,” but still a 5-star app. ### 5/5 — Most helpful app!! *2025-04-10, version 4.9* This app has helped me track my migraines and triggers so much! Also, the data reports that can be created are useful for doctors appointments too. The founder and team are so supportive and helpful with any issues as well! I’d give it 10 stars if I could! ### 5/5 — I like this app *2024-10-10, version 4.6.1* I like this app ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-09-24, version 4.6.1* App is really helpful in order for me to keep track of my headaches and migraines. It also allows you to track other symptoms as well. ### 5/5 — So far so good. *2024-07-30, version 4.3* Most of my headaches are triggered by weather changes, and this was the only app I could find that automatically included weather in the logs. I like that there are many selectable pain points. Quick selection of full areas (for typical headache types - cluster, sinus, tension, would be a nice addition to the individual pain points. Would like to see the barometric pressure included, but perhaps that’s included in the subscription? The only negative is that the monthly subscription cost for pro is so expensive. I’d pay $30-40/year for an app like this, but $10/mo is prohibitive. ### 5/5 — Finally found an easy to use app 🙌 *2024-04-21, version 4.1* I’ve been having migraines for years and the paper tracking to take to my GP wasn’t really working as I was lazy, forgot or lost the paper so needed an app but hadn’t found a good one until this. I love how it imports all the data from my Apple Watch and sends me reminders to track throughout the day. I’ve been using it to track stress from university and work, alongside certain foods and my menstrual cycle. You can track anything you want which I love, I even started to track certain meetings I knew may be a trigger. My partner also likes it as when I’m having an episode he inputs the data into the episode tracking feature including where the pain is and meds I took which I then export in pdf to email to my GP for med checkup appointments. ### 5/5 — Finally the perfect tracking app!! *2024-03-28, version 4.1* I have migraines and occipital neuralgia. I was using migraine buddy but stopped using it consistently because it just felt like too much. All I really wanted was a simple way to track symptoms that were frequent. Firstly I was so excited to see you can track multiple conditions simply. The user interface is really clean, quick, intuitive, and you can add your own symptoms. You can add notes and put in as much or as little as you want. You don’t have to add the end time for an episode before putting in a new one. You can add new entries for symptoms, triggers or treatments. You can track meds. You can add notes independent of an episode. Truly it’s perfect, you can do as much or as little as you want and they have thought about every little possible feature you may want. And all of this you can do in the free one version which is so incredible. ### 5/5 — Excellent app to help with self care/ for your care team *2023-12-22, version 3.9* This app has only gotten better over time. Developer makes thoughtful helpful updates that continue to make it more user friendly and helpful. Love the barometer function-it helped me figure out that was my main trigger Log is super helpful when meeting with my neurologist and primary care doctors Medication log is soooo helpful when I have migraine brain and can’t remember what time I took meds A++++ ### 5/5 — Excellent app, Excellent support! *2023-12-10, version 3.9* This app is by far the best migraine tracker, and I've used several in the past. The ability to quickly log headaches is top-notch. When I'm experiencing a migraine, I want to log it quickly and accurately, so that I don't forget. The last thing I want is to go throgh a laborious process when I'm experiencing pain. Migraine Insight makes it easy. Reports are informative for my doctor too.
