Die Migräne-App bietet Informationen rund um Migräne und andere Kopfschmerzformen sowie Möglichkeiten zur persönlichen Dokumentation eigener Beobachtungen im Alltag. Die Anwendung wurde in Zusammenarbeit mit Experten der Schmerzklinik Kiel, dem bundesweiten Kopfschmerzbehandlungsnetz und der Techniker Krankenkasse entwickelt. Die App unterstützt Nutzerinnen und Nutzer dabei, ihre Kopfschmerzbeschwerden sowie mögliche Einflussfaktoren im Alltag übersichtlich festzuhalten. Eigene Aufzeichnungen zu Beschwerden, Lebensstil, Schlaf, Ernährung, Bewegung oder Stress können strukturiert dokumentiert werden. Dies kann helfen, persönliche Muster besser zu erkennen und Beobachtungen für Gespräche mit behandelnden Ärztinnen und Ärzten vorzubereiten. Darüber hinaus stellt die App verständliche Informationen zu Migräne und Kopfschmerzen bereit. Inhalte zu Lebensstil, Entspannung, Stressbewältigung, Bewegung und allgemeinen Gesundheitsthemen können dabei unterstützen, sich mit der eigenen Situation auseinanderzusetzen und Wissen über Kopfschmerzen zu vertiefen. Eine integrierte Mediathek bietet aktuelle Informationen und Beiträge rund um Migräne und Kopfschmerzen. Über ergänzende Angebote können sich Betroffene zudem mit anderen Betroffenen austauschen und über Angebote des Kopfschmerzbehandlungsnetzes informieren. Die App dient ausschließlich der Information und persönlichen Dokumentation. Sie stellt keine medizinische Diagnose und ersetzt keine ärztliche Beratung, Untersuchung oder Behandlung. Datenschutz hat hohe Priorität. Die Daten werden ausschließlich auf dem Gerät des Nutzers gespeichert. Eine Weitergabe erfolgt nur, wenn Nutzer dies selbst veranlassen, beispielsweise um Informationen mit behandelnden Ärztinnen oder Ärzten zu teilen.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: TK at every 9 days against Migräne App's every 4 months. TK also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 23). Migräne App's advantage is review sentiment (93% vs 72%) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TK holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TK has 1.2K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Migräne App's written reviews are positive against 72% of TK's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Migräne App ships an update every 4 months, TK every 9 days. Both last shipped on October 12, 2026.
