No customer support
I really want to support this app, but there is zero customer support and no updates for 3 years. App hangs all the time on weather data entry and developer is not responsive to emails. I believe it can be helpful I finding the root causes of headaches if developers would continue to support, but as it is I need to migrate to another platform.

Awful Interface
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.

Great but unusable
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.

Flawed with Potential
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?

lacking in menstruation trigger
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.
One of the best but could have some user friendliness
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!

Disappointing Update
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.
Almost perfect
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.

Needs to be updated
A waste of money. They don’t have the newest meds on there making it a waste of time also.
What a crock
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.
Outdated and Not Useful
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.

Limitations
I really like how this app is set up especially compared to the others I’ve tried plus it actually makes me want to record every day but there are some things that I think should be expanded.
1. More specificity on location of headache/migraine -possibly with a map of the head where regions can be selected.
2. Add more options for specific auras such as paresthesia, aphasia, craving chocolate, spots in vision, etc.
3. Allow for more customization within the custom items outside of just the name of the item and a yes or no.
4. An option to add notes for each day as an attack/headache isn’t going to stay the same all day.

Was really hoping for a migraine tracking solution
Seemed amazingly comprehensive at first. Missing a preventative treatment I use, a relatively new CGRP inhibitor, and when I tried to submit a ticket for help, the webpage stated I was ineligible ? Very disappointed :(
Better than migraine buddy, wish I could add data 3+days ago, decent privacy, not sexist
I wish I could add data that’s more than a few days old. Some people, like me, log their migraine info on a notepad and then enter their own data into a tracker app that they recorded at the time of the migraine (not great to stare at a phone screen during a migraine, I’d rather use a notepad). I date these notes and lead a busy life. I can’t always get around to logging my data in a few days. Also I don’t understand why we can’t change custom factors as often as we want to. I feel kind of like the app doesn’t trust me to provide accurate info about my own body. Other than that the privacy is pretty good, and at least you don’t charge your users for menstrual tracking but not for other features like sexist migraine buddy app does.

Okay
Mediocre app, doesn’t let you compare all data from headaches. Have to pay $50 in order for it to provide you insights on what headaches could be from.
Great App!
Easy to use app with modern features. Thoughtfully designed for a great user experience. Highly recommend to all with migraines!
Muy útil
Fácil de usar y tremendamente útil. La voy a recomendar.
Tricks you to upgrade $$
I used it for 90 days and when it finally calculated my migraine triggers, I couldn’t see any results unless I upgraded to premium. So I answered 50 questions a day for 3 months for nothing!
Waste of time
Very deceiving app. Buyers beware. I spent every night for 90 days entering data with the promise that after doing this my migraine triggers would be revealed, only to find at the end of 90 days that I would have to pay $50 to upgrade just to find out one trigger. All other data was deemed inconclusive. A total waste of time.

Bait and switch
I used the app for four months, entering data 3 days out of 4 until FINALLY I hit the minimum 90 days to get their analysis... only to find out that the trigger map is locked behind their $50 premium pay wall. At no point did I ever see that the ONLY REASON I was using the app almost every day was locked behind a paywall. Overall it’s a decent app but no way would I have burned 15 minutes a day on this for $50.
