### 2/5 — Feels like a scam

*2026-08-06*

The app is not free, you’re “forced” to try three days free or else you can’t actually use it. I don’t like the idea of the app creator, and the influencers they pay, making money off people suffering from migraines

**Developer response:** Hello! We’re sorry Relief gave you a bad first impression. You can start a free trial at no cost to explore all features. If you decide not to continue, just cancel before the trial ends and you will not be charged. You will still keep access to the core logging and statistics features. If you have any questions or need support, please reach out to: support@exhalo.app Best regards, Relief team

### 3/5 — No Food Logging

*2026-07-02*

I love the concept of this and that it takes into consideration all of the things that I don’t but I was really really really hoping it allowed you to track foods so I could identify a trigger. Hopefully in the future!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the suggestion! We'll consider implementing it.

### 1/5 — cant even use the app!

*2026-03-29, version 1.12*

ive logged everything in,symptoms and abiut my migraines then the ‘free plan’ thing comes up! i was expecting to be able to use the app. but i cant do any free plans or payments. please remove this so i can actually use the app or add a close button so people can also use it without a free trial or any payments!

### 1/5 — Selfish and unethical

*2026-03-20*

So disgusted you're taking advantage of people suffering enough already. I lost my job due to migraines and was hoping this would help.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2026-03-18*

I really wanted to like this app because the concept is great—tracking migraines and predicting risk based on environmental factors would be incredibly helpful. Unfortunately, the app doesn’t really deliver on what it promises.

The biggest issue is the “risk indicator.” It barely changes and doesn’t provide any explanation for why your risk level is what it is or what you can do to reduce it. That makes it feel more like a random number than a useful tool.

Another major downside is the lack of account functionality. There’s no clear way to access or manage your subscription or adjust preferences, which is frustrating and honestly feels incomplete.

The one positive is the migraine logging feature—it’s actually well done and easy to use. If the app focused on that and improved the predictive features, it could be really strong.

I’m especially disappointed that I paid for a yearly subscription for this app instead of choosing another one that offers significantly more features and functionality.

Overall, it has potential, but right now it doesn’t function as advertised and needs significant improvements to be truly helpful.

**Developer response:** Hello,
Thank you for your thoughtful and comprehensive feedback.

We’re sorry to hear that Relief did not fully meet your expectations. We encourage you to update to the latest version of the app (1.10), which includes a number of improvements that should address several of the points you mentioned.

We would also appreciate the opportunity to discuss your feedback in more detail. Please feel free to contact us at support@exhalo.app — we’d be glad to talk through your comments and work on solutions together.

Best regards,
The Relief Team

### 1/5 — Paywall!!

*2026-02-24*

Nur nutzbar nach bezahlen!

### 1/5 — SCAM!

*2026-02-22, version 1.7*

couldn’t even get off the “unlimited access page” so I’m unable to use without paying whick I am not doing. please fix this

### 1/5 — Zahlungszwang

*2026-02-10*

Kann nur genutzt werden wenn man zahlt. 3 Tage gratis sind ein Witz. Fliegt runter.

### 1/5 — Crashes, bad predictions

*2026-02-05*

The prediction doesn’t work, and the app keeps crashing all the time!!

**Developer response:** Hello! We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience with Relief. Please reach out to us at support@exhalo.app, and we’ll do our best to help resolve the issue.

### 1/5 — does nothing

*2026-02-03, version 1.7*

it says moderate risk EVERYDAY which is literally already known without a app telling you bc migraines are unexpected. everytime i get a migraine it doesn’t do anything by letting me know beforehand. no one should be spending £10 on this omg

### 1/5 — Whole app is hidden behind a paywall

*2026-01-26*

Ethically, health support shouldn’t be only for those who can afford to pay. If you’re really trying to reduce stigma around migraines (as you literally state in the sign up process), you’d make it accessible regardless of income. Incredibly disappointing.

**Developer response:** Hello! 
Thanks for sharing this - we hear you. 

We’re actively doing everything we can to make Relief available to as many people living with migraine as possible, regardless of income. We’re working on ways to expand access while still keeping the app sustainable to build, maintain, and improve.

If you’re open to it, please reach out via in-app support and we’ll do our best to help.

### 1/5 — App is not at all what is advertised

*2026-01-20*

Very rudimentary basic app. Does not do all the features shown in the TikTok ads like they say. Waste of money just use the free migraine buddy!

### 1/5 — Gut, aber Hauptsache zahlen

*2026-07-22*

Ich habe die App in der kostenlosen Testphase ausprobiert. Die ist auch sehr gut, keine Frage. Aber Personen mit Migräne zahlen meiner Meinung nach schon genug mit Zeit, Geld usw. Fürs tracken einer echt nerviger und schlimmer neurologischer Krankheit auch noch Geld zu nehmen finde ich meiner Meinung nach nicht okay. Die Grundfunktionen kann man wohl ohne Zahlen nutzen, aber eine nützliche Proversion hinter einer Paywall zu setzen finde ich bei solchen Dingen nicht okay. App fliegt wieder vom Handy.

### 1/5 — paywall

*2026-07-17*

nur nutzbar wenn man geld zahlt und 3 tage testen ist auch eine frechheit

### 1/5 — No transparency

*2026-07-02*

A bit of transparency around not even being able to access a single feature for free would have been nice. I wouldn’t have wasted my time downloading this in hopes of having a supportive tool for migraine tracking. Chronic illnesses are already expensive enough. I’m not interested in hemorrhaging money for something I can’t even test out before buying.

**Developer response:** Hello! We’re sorry Relief gave you a bad first impression. You can start a free trial at no cost to explore all features. If you decide not to continue, just cancel before the trial ends and you will not be charged. You will still keep access to the core logging and statistics features.

### 1/5 — Nothing free

*2026-06-17*

You have to answer a bunch of questions and put in data and after you finish, they want you to subscribe for a monthly payment. You can’t use any features without paying. Might as well let people know from the beginning and don’t waste time with either questions in the beginning :/

### 1/5 — Be careful how you select the trial

*2026-05-12*

I attempted to do the 14 day free trial. I thought I was clicking to do the trial, then pay for an entire year if I chose to keep it. However, the full year was already taken out of my account.

### 1/5 — Zwang zum Kauf

*2026-04-25*

Leider nur mit Bezahlung benutzbar

**Developer response:** Hallo! Es tut uns leid, dass Relief bei Ihnen keinen guten ersten Eindruck hinterlassen hat.
Sie können eine kostenlose Testversion starten und alle Funktionen unverbindlich ausprobieren. Wenn Sie sich entscheiden, nicht fortzufahren, kündigen Sie einfach vor Ablauf der Testphase — dann wird Ihnen nichts berechnet.
Sie behalten weiterhin Zugriff auf die grundlegenden Funktionen zum Protokollieren und auf die Statistiken.
Wenn Sie Fragen haben oder Unterstützung benötigen, wenden Sie sich bitte an: support@exhalo.app

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Ihr Relief-Team

### 1/5 — Very bad

*2026-04-18*

Sucks. Unable to export data. Glitchy. Bad. Don’t waste your money.

**Developer response:** Hello! We’re sorry Relief didn’t make the best first impression.
Please check out our latest version — we’ve added several performance improvements and data export. We hope you’ll give us a second chance.

### 1/5 — Kann man nicht testen ohne Probeabo

*2026-04-17*

Wird einem leider erst am Ende vom Setup Prozess gesagt, und wurde direkt wieder von mir gelöscht. Zeitverschwendung…

**Developer response:** Hello! We’re sorry Relief gave you a bad first impression. You can start a free trial at no cost to explore all features. If you decide not to continue, just cancel before the trial ends and you will not be charged. You will still keep access to the core logging and statistics features.

### 1/5 — Couldn’t test it

*2026-04-14*

Downloaded the app and wanted to test it out and all of us with migraines know if we come across something great, we will pay. But they won’t even let you try their app without paying. So bot worth it

### 1/5 — Useless absolute scam

*2026-04-13*

Honestly get a note book. This app does nothing special. Long over explanations of weather, some symptoms aren’t even an option, provides zero helpful advice, and don’t get me started on the price. You’re bullied into paying this overpriced subscription that doesn’t even give tips to at least help with the migraine.

### 5/5 — Super

*2026-06-02*

Ich nutze Relief  seit einigen Monaten und bin wirklich begeistert. Die App hilft mir dabei, meine Migräneauslöser besser zu verstehen und meine Symptome übersichtlich zu dokumentieren. Besonders beeindruckt mich die genaue Migränevorhersage – oft warnt mich die App schon, bevor die ersten Anzeichen auftreten. Das moderne Design, die einfache Bedienung und die hilfreichen Berichte machen Relief zu einem unverzichtbaren Begleiter im Alltag. Klare Empfehlung für alle, die ihre Migräne besser im Blick behalten möchten!

**Developer response:** Wie schön, das zu lesen — herzlichen Dank!
Wir schätzen deine Meinung sehr und sind vor allem dankbar, dass du bei uns bist. Dass Relief dich im Alltag begleitet und dich oft schon vor den ersten Anzeichen warnt, ist genau das, wofür wir es entwickelt haben.
Hast du Ideen oder Anmerkungen? Wir freuen uns darauf!

### 5/5 — Relief

*2026-06-02*

Die Relief hat mir wirklich geholfen…

### 5/5 — Very helpful to keep track of Migraines

*2026-05-20*

Especially enjoy the new migraine timer

### 5/5 — Amazing app!

*2026-04-22*

Works so well once you start logging, it’s very helpful in predictions

### 5/5 — Surprisingly great

*2026-02-19, version 1.7*

Really impressed with this app. I like that it’s not just logging symptoms, it helps predict higher-risk days. The tracking feels simple. Properly helpful

### 5/5 — Lifesaver

*2026-02-19, version 1.7*

This app is honestly a lifesaver. It helps me see high-risk days ahead of time so I can plan

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-01-20, version 1.6*

Everything is working great! The predictions are correct!

### 5/5 — Magic

*2025-12-02, version 1.1*

It predicted my migraine few days ago

### 4/5 — Helpful with one issue

*2026-07-30*

It helps me a lot, i like the recent layout update. It’s well organized, better than before.
Yet i miss the option to log my symptoms, pain areas and medications during an attack. After an attack i am too tired to remember anything so it is better to track them during the attack rather than afterwards. In the previous version that was possible, but it has recently been removed. I’d love to be able to do that again.

I pay for the subscription, to me it is worth the money.

**Developer response:** Hello, 
Thank you so much for the feedback. We will bring this feature back in the next version.
If you have any other suggestions, please let us know at support@exhalo.app

Best regards, 
Relief Team

### 3/5 — So much potential

*2026-07-26*

This would be close to 5 stars if I could configure two settings. First - TURN OFFFFFF THE MIGRAINE TIMER ON MY SCREEEENNNNNN BECAUSE I HATE IT. In the app? Fine. Constantly showing? Pleasssssse remove that. Seriously, I paid for a year, but I might delete this app later today over having to look at it counting how long it has been since I logged the start. TRUSSESSST me I know it's still here. What I don't want is a second-by-second reminder. And second, barometric pressure is a huge trigger for me, but the app's "normal" is a number that's already torture for me. (As for the timer, I just said the migraine was over. I'd rather not track at all than look at that. Please turn it off.)

**Developer response:** Hello,
Thanks for the great suggestions. They will be fixed in the next version.

Best regards,
Relief Team
