ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PainGo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple Migraine Tracker has 52 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Simple Migraine Tracker's written reviews are positive against 0% of PainGo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Simple Migraine Tracker ships an update every 3 weeks, PainGo monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
