### 1/5 — The worst

*2019-08-18*

A paid app that still bombards you with ads. The help screens pop up every time you use it. Interface is horrible. Other reviews must be fake. Do not buy.

**Developer response:** Since this version we have made many changes.  Ads have been toned down for the free version, the premium in-app purchase turns these off.  The help screen popups (when launched) can be turned off in settings, and we have updated the interface to be more streamlined.  We have never paid for reviews fake or otherwise.

### 4/5 — Watch out when you upgrade

*2015-11-01*

Used it for three weeks and it worked well so I decided to upgrade.  It erased all my previous data and notes with no warning.  Sheesh!

**Developer response:** In this version we had some syncing problems.  The latest version uses industry standard storage both on the client and in a user's iCloud account, so this problem should not occur again.

### 3/5 — Ok, but not finished?

*2015-07-15*

Still not fixed, despite updates. There is still a problem switching between pain areas. It still gets stuck on a single area and refuses to load the next one. This is causing problems for report generation.

Yes, it tracks entries, but there's a major problem. It won't allow you to switch between areas to enter scores. It stays stuck on one area.
Not sure what the point of multiple tracking options is if you can't switch between them to enter the information.
There's little point in showing a pretty graph, since you can't actually plot all the different pain levels because it refuses to switch over to the next entry area.
Rather disappointing, since it looked like exactly what was needed.
Waiting for update to fix that. Shouldn't be needed.

### 5/5 — Great and simple to use

*2015-05-22*

Great

### 5/5 — Awesome Tool

*2014-03-23*

I wish I didn't need this app, but given my current situation this app has been a life saver. It sure beats pencil and paper and I love the ease of use. It's a lot easier to print a graph chart showing the pain levels that I have logged for the last two weeks to show doctor than try to explain the extent of the pain. I also tend to "sugar coat" the true extent of my pain due to my optimistic personality and the app gives a truer picture of. My situation. I can also easily email the notes to anyone and they are in a easy to read PDF document. You wont regret buying this app!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback.  This description is a true representation of the intention and function of the app and was the original reason we built it in the first place.

### 1/5 — Re-invented wheel

*2013-01-13*

The primary reason I downloaded the app was to track pain. This would include intensity as well as location. Anyone who has back problems and subsequent nerve pain knows that areas of pain move just as intensity fluctuates. To try and more efficiently identify specific triggers, it is helpful to know when and WHERE your pain is as well as how much it hurts. 
-Adding insult to injury

**Developer response:** The later versions of the app address this issue by allowing multiple pain areas, setting pain types, and on-demand pain entries.  This would allow one to enter the primary pain area level for a specific area and have other on-demand areas to track other areas triggered by the primary area.
