### 1/5 — Weather fetch

*2026-02-07, version 3.5.8*

Weather fetch doesn’t work. You got my email and I mean it for both the regular and gold apps. Super disappointing.

### 1/5 — Feel like I got ripped off

*2023-04-16, version 3.5.8*

Payed for this app and it won’t open 😡😡😡

### 1/5 — Would not open on my iPhone 11

*2023-02-03, version 3.5.8*

I had to delete this app. I tried reinstalling it and the same thing happened. Any advice?

### 1/5 — Unable to open the app

*2022-12-11, version 3.5.8*

Just downloaded the app and it keeps crashing at every attempt to open it.

### 2/5 — WAS my favorite App.

*2022-12-03, version 3.5.8*

This was my favorite pain app.  I noticed it stopped working when the new gold edition appeared.  Very disappointing.  I hope this will be resolved soon.

### 1/5 — This WAS a great app

*2022-10-30, version 3.5.8*

I started using this app about two years ago, and it worked great! It was highly manageable, I could modify it to suit my particular illness and needs. But then about three months ago, it started crashing. I wrote an email to the developer, but no response, no fix
Now I am searching for a new app, to track my symptoms, but nothing is near as good as this one was. I would have paid good money for this app, but not now.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2022-07-02, version 3.5.8*

Can you please fix the weather issue a lot of my pain is tied to weather. That’s my only complaint otherwise this app is great. Im going to look at the newer app hopefully the weather in that works but this app is great. Completely customizable you can add whatever you want and track everything you need to then some. Great job designing this app. But please fix the weather

### 5/5 — Best Pain Diary

*2022-05-02, version 3.5.8*

I use this app daily. I don’t know what I would do without it. Really offers a lot of insight as to triggers and strategies.

### 4/5 — Not quite the same

*2021-05-26, version 3.5.8*

I loved this app, I paid for it and it was completely worth it. Since I got my new IPhone the weather has not loaded, I think I even repaid for this app.  I put in the weather google told me to, still doesn’t work. I really need the weather part, otherwise this app is not really worth the time.  Sorry maybe you can give me some advice

### 1/5 — Should be free

*2020-11-15, version 3.5.8*

Didn’t notice the Gold Edition until I purchased this one.   Based on the photos in the preview, it looked like you could map your pain location on an image of a body, however that’s not the case with your back.  This is a very basic app that should be free.  Absolutely annoyed that I paid for this one and the upgrade is the SAME price.   Refuse to purchase the Gold even if it is what I was looking for.
