## What is N1?

Take the guesswork out of managing your migraine. In addition to finding out what may trigger your migraine attacks, you will discover what factors may protect you and what is likely not to be associated with your migraine. 

You’ll gain a deeper understanding of how to self-manage migraine within 90 days by spending just five minutes a day tracking days with and without headache. 
You will get instant access to your data from the first day you track. You can share your Personal Analytical Report with your healthcare provider so that together you can discuss best treatment options for you.

*NEW - Now available to all users*
Optional Factors - Make your daily tracking customizable by enabling or disabling factors that may affect migraine from a predefined list. You can also add other personal factors, such as suspected triggers, you’d like to track. Build your own customized tracking list.

TOP FEATURES

*Daily Diary*
In just 5 minutes or less a day, track your activities, habits, moods, sleep cycle, and more to easily identify factors that may be associated with your migraine. Early identification can help you make lifestyle changes that may reduce the impact of migraine on your life. 

*Personal Analytical Report*
Get to know your migraine and manage it better as it changes over time. You can do this by getting instant access - at any time - to your Personal Analytical Report, which comes in a PDF format. It’s easy to read and provides information about your migraine activity and pain level progression over time. Share the report with your healthcare provider, so together you can make changes that may help you reduce or avoid migraine attacks.

*Medication tracking*
Set up a list of medications or treatments used for your headache, migraine or other conditions. This will help you to track your treatments easily during your daily tracking.

*My Data*
See graphical and tabular summaries of your data. Here are the tools:
* Summary - Get an overview of the number of days tracked vs. days not tracked. See how many pain-free days you’ve had along with how many migraine and other headache events you’ve experienced.
* Midas - Shows your MIDAS score based on registration questions about the number of days (work, school, leisure, etc.) you’ve missed due to your migraine.
* Monthly - Here you can find out if your disability score is changing month to month.
* Time-Period Comparison – you can compare the frequency and severity of your migraine attacks over different time periods, for example if you started a sleep management program, you can compare the before and after you took it.

### 1/5 — Awful Interface

*2026-02-10*

Downloaded this to track my migraines/headaches, per my doctor’s instructions. Not only does the application not allow for other prescriptions to have the dosage adjusted, the response to typing is beyond aggravating. I can type a word and it will take an additional 15 seconds to think about adding the letters. When someone is to the point of needing to track their headaches and migraines, they are likely very short on patience. Just awful. Immediately deleted my account.

### 2/5 — Great but unusable

*2024-02-06, version 3.0.2*

I wanted to use this to track my sons headaches which are frequent.

Looks like great ideas

Entering one headache requires going through a gazillion screens. I will never use it deleted.

### 2/5 — Flawed with Potential

*2023-12-09*

Give users the benefit of the doubt that they are capable of remembering past a few days ago when their headaches happened, or perhaps may be tracking them on paper and later putting them in the app for documentation/mapping. 

Also, do away with the stupid limitations on putting in custom factors every 90 days. I tried to put one in and ran out of time, tried to go back later to finish, and it had locked me out for another 90 days. So stupid. So annoying. Why are you ruining what could potentially be a good app with arbitrary and artificial imposed restrictions on your users?

### 3/5 — lacking in menstruation trigger

*2023-11-26, version 3.0.2*

how come i cant record which day of the month im on? for such a commin migraine trigger for women to be underepresented i am disappointed.

### 4/5 — One of the best but could have some user friendliness

*2023-06-15*

This is by far the best app I’ve used to track my headaches. Other app are super confusing to work with and this one seems promising for helping me understand my triggers by data mining. I have seen some minor bugs like it fails to load some of the menu pages (like “individual maps” for example). If this was happening to the daily diary this might be way to frustrating. I have to keep refreshing it to get it to load properly. In addition, the sleep and time outdoors hour logging is confusing such that it’s asking for the hours but then wants you to set it to AM or PM. I also don’t like that you can’t set it to 0 hours. When if I was indoor all day? Lastly, and the biggest one, this app has unnecessary multiple screens for the daily diary. I think it would be more user friendly if all the daily diary stuff was on one page and you just clicked each to set it. It might also be great to have default preferences to eliminate clicking everything every day. You know, for example, I rarely drink. It’s possible, but rarely. If I could set that to default no that would be convenient. The process of logging a day can be tedious and I often go back to other days I forgot. This one screen option would make it so much easier. Again, this app is great! These are just my minor frustrations. Thanks!

### 1/5 — Disappointing Update

*2022-12-22*

v3.0.1 not ready for use. Slow to load, very slow response to questions, glitchy, doesn’t pull in weather data, cannot complete logging factors. Rely on this app to determine if meds are effective. Have used for years and this is the first update with major issues.

**Developer response:** Thanks for reporting this issue. Unfortunately, a small number of users had problems when upgrading the app. To fix the issue, please delete and re-install the app, the data will be synced back. Our team is working to identify and fix the issue as soon as possible so that the upgrade process does not leave the app hanging.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2022-12-11*

This app has many great qualities not found another apps and works like a detective in the background figuring out what your triggers are. Unfortunately it has a huge flaw: it won’t let you enter any information about what you ate did or other potential triggers for more than two days in the past.
When you have migraines, sometimes you aren’t well enough to fill out a migraine diary for a couple of days. When this happens, I take pictures of my meals and little notes so that I can continue to analyze and discover triggers. Frustratingly, the app will not let me enter this information, which leads to holes in the data. The developers assume that no one can remember anything accurately past two days. This is simply not true, and should be a feature that those who use other methods of record keeping can turn off.

### 1/5 — Needs to be updated

*2022-11-14, version 2.4*

A waste of money. They don’t have the newest meds on there making it a waste of time also.

### 1/5 — What a crock

*2022-08-19, version 2.4*

Put in my headache journal for 90 days expecting to get some sort of trigger identifications for my migraines. Finally submitted the 90 days and gives me no feedback without buying the service for 49.99$. Wish it had said from the beginning it would charge this and I wouldn’t have wasted my time.

### 1/5 — Outdated and Not Useful

*2021-12-05*

I started my setup and only got as far as entering my meds and Nurtec and Aimovig weren’t in the database. Anyone who watches commercials has heard of these, yet the creators of ann app, supposedly with professional backing and input, in a couple years time can’t manage to get their database updated to include these two medications? I didn’t even get to Botox yet. I wonder if that’s left out too? I’ll never know. I deleted it and am going on to another app.
