Very disappointing. I hope this will be resolved soon. ### 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 ### 2/5 — Great app but weather won’t load *2019-10-25, version 3.5.8* I love this app but my pain is weather dependent & the app keeps giving me messages that weather conditions could not be loaded. It’s a shame because it’s a simple & easy app to use. ### 2/5 — Hmmmm. Not convinced this will work. *2019-08-28, version 3.5.8* Just started this. I have two conditions I want to track. I set up two labels but I can’t seem to make the categories of pain different for each - and moreover if I score a 5 in one it will overwrite the 2 i put in for the other. Also i want to input for a date before today but nothing happens when I click a date before today. So if I miss a days tracking will that mean I can’t log it? Also the app has crashed twice so far. Am hoping I can figure this out - there instructions are not helpful - did I just waste a fiver? ### 2/5 — Crashes *2019-04-23, version 3.5.8* Trying to edit pick fields causes the app to crash foe me. Unusable. ### 2/5 — Great App BUT it crashes every time I try to save an entry *2018-09-15, version 3.5.8* This is a Great App BUT...., It crashes every time I try to save an entry!! And sometimes I don’t even get that far before it just up & QUITS ON ME COMPLETELY AND LOSES 💯% of what I had entered into my pain Diary up to that point‼️ PLEASE PLEASE FIX THIS BUG IN YOUR APP ASAP ‼️‼️‼️ I desperately NEED TO BE USING YOUR APP‼️‼️‼️ ### 4/5 — Still learning it *2018-08-31, version 3.5.8* I just started using it and I’m still learning, but it’s interesting to see the pain in a calendar. There is a bug that makes it crash to home screen when you delete a metric, which is frustrating when you’re in the middle of an entry. ### 4/5 — There are bugs *2018-06-20, version 3.5.8* First of all,thanks for making such useful app for chronic disease patient.but there are some problems.Can you fix some bugs in editing?When I tried to delete existing options,the app turned off. And I just realized that there is a recent version.Can I upgrade mine? ### 3/5 — In Pain *2018-04-28, version 3.5.8* I thought this was a great app for keeping record of my pain for my doctors, until I found two problems with it. First, it will not keep in the report all the photos I add and second, the request link for help doesn’t go anywhere. They to step back and bring things up to date. Very disappointed, I’ve used it to report my pain to my VA doctors for years and have recommended the app to lots of veterans. If they can’t or won’t fix the problems, I’ll have to find something else that will work. ### 4/5 — Great app, bad design *2018-04-23, version 3.5.8* I love the app but with all the weird fonts and features like the notepad and paper clip, it’s design is distracting. I didn’t even see the “save” button until weeks after using. I thought I had saved entries for those weeks, now there’s nothing. ### 3/5 — HELP! Upgrade question for developers *2018-01-23, version 3.5.8* I’ve been a My Daily Pain journal for 2 years & there’s no longer updates for this app. IF, I upgrade to the GOLD EDITION, will all of my entry data be available to see on the newest app edition? Thank you. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Used to b fav until lost my data *2018-11-02, version 3.5.8* One day day just poof! gone! Ssooooo mad. Was my favorite bc it was one click to track. ### 1/5 — Very disappointed in a great app *2018-09-19, version 3.5.8* Disappointed in the fact that there are 2 apps by the same developer both cost $4.99 and the newer one is the gold edition of the first but no where does it say that and foes it give you an option to update without paying again. The day i bought i could have bought the gold from beginning but did not know. Contacted developer but no one got back to me. Very disappointing since i suffer from a incurable disability where my muscles in my body spasm and i have no control over them. My condition is called cervical dystonia. Just dont have money to keep throwing away on apps to find out thst i should have bought the newer version. Really sad ### 1/5 — Crashes out of the box! *2018-05-17, version 3.5.8* Every time I try to add my FIRST event this app crashes each time!!! Biggest waste of $4.99 EVER!!!! (iPhone 7plus) ### 1/5 — Extremely Disappointed! *2018-05-08, version 3.5.8* I was loving this app until it started force closing on me. I can’t get through inputing two symptoms before it closes itself. After paying $4.99 for this app, I’m really dissatisfied! If it is fixed, I’ll change my review. I also wish there was a section where you can track your medications for the day as well, if I might suggest that for future updates? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Fibromyalgia *2019-10-24, version 3.5.8* This diary really helps keep tract of my pain levels and my diet and exercise. Plus if the weather has changed which makes the pain worse. ### 5/5 — Great for tracking your pain *2019-04-15, version 3.5.8* Ive suffered with knee pain since my early teen years. Since then I have been slammed by Semi truck on the freeway because traffic was at a dead stop, i’ve been hit head on by two vehicles for racing down a country road to nailed me. I’ve been slammed off a cliff because I wouldn’t support a man 7 years older than me. I have been abused by boyfriends. This application I found back in 2013/2014 area and fell in love with it. It’s so much easier to track what I’m going through. Track what does and doesn’t help me. Everyday is different Your able to send reports to your doctor, as long as you have a email for them. Or you can even print it out and hand it over during your appointment. It’s been helping me understand what the weather, what I do on a daily basis, so on; to manage how things affect my pain or my osteoarthritis or my Fibromyalgia and even my migraines I’ve tried many pain tracking applications and I always fall back to this one. ### 5/5 — This app helped me communicate with my Doctor pain symptoms I was having... *2018-11-17, version 3.5.8* I was able to send photos to my Doc when I had random joints swell up. I would not have been able to documents my pain without this tool. Thank you for creating this! I am a BIG fan! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2018-09-26, version 3.5.8* This app is excellent for tracking pain. I use it for headaches. You can document intensity, type, location, associated symptoms. All easily as there are preset types to choose and a pic of a skull to tap location and if the type doesn’t fit into one of the presets then you can add your own or add notes. Gives you graphs and charts. Keeps track of time of day and weather. ### 5/5 — Great to keep track of pain *2018-06-11, version 3.5.8* I love this app because is can be customized to fit you and your pain. Easy to keep track of bad days. ### 5/5 — Excellent for tracking CRPS symptoms *2018-01-10, version 3.5.8* The best app I have found for tracking CRPS symptoms. Has facility to include photos, copy and send to consultant and track the impact of weather upon pain. ### 5/5 — Trim bling hands and aching body..Ec *2017-12-23, version 3.5.8* Part of my problem is shaking and trembling hands which made keeping a journal messy... so thankful for this app, I sincerely mean that... I love it Ec ### 5/5 — Helps *2017-08-07, version 3.5.8* Somewhat customizable. Love the "lock" feature when starting the app, makes me feel more secure keeping this info in an app on my phone. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
