Migraine Buddy

App is overall pretty good for tracking migraines, but there are constant notifications advertising discounts on the paid version, or random articles to read. Things I couldn’t care less about. I can turn off all notifications through my phone menu, but then I don’t have the badge notification reminding me if I have an active migraine tracking that I need to turn off when it stops. There doesn’t appear to be any method inside the app to select only getting that one type of notification that I need: Are you still having a migraine? Just annoying

I just started using it and the free version is fine, tbh kind of difficult to figure out how to navigate the app and I may end up using my notes app to record data instead. I also don’t love how I keep getting notification pop ups about paying for the premium which really annoy me. Edit: keep getting constant notifications for premium. I may just use my Notes app to keep track of my migraines.

I used this for two years initially, then uninstalled it when I got better. In those days it was free and didn’t have all the features that it has now. When my migraines came back, I tried other medical apps. All were either, too complicated, or not professional enough to be useful. Migraine Buddy has always been, even in its infancy a “caring” app. Just that alone with all its features, such as the weather pressure, the feeling of being justified in a symptom being backed up by years of research, the notation abilities that include being able to easily update the movements that occur during the migraine attack itself, completely interactive, and educational at the same time. It makes me look forward to my first report to present all shiny to my neurologist. I smacked that Lifetime Membership choice button. The Prodigal Daughter has returned, and I’m all-in Baby!

Been great to be able to track them and show them to my Dr.

I love the app! I would give the actual app 5 stars, but the integrity of the upgrade process ZERO stars. I upgraded after a week to get the added reporting. It was a reasonable cost, I was fine paying it. Then a few days later I learned I have to pay an ADDITIONAL $139 to get the weather reporting I was led to believe came with the upgrade I already paid for! I chose the only upgrade available, only to find out I was being stair stepped to pay for another upgrade!!! I am livid as it feels extremely deceptive! Now I am definitely getting a migraine!

I often get headaches on the very top of my head and it is difficult to input that on the app when selecting where the pain is. If there could be more specific pain locator areas, I would love that! Other than that I love this app! It’s so helpful to see what days I get migraines, identity the triggers, and see how long they occur!

Whether your migraines are powerful or light migraine buddy has everything you need!

I’ve tried so many ways of tracking my migraines over the years. This app is the first thing that has lasted for me. A friend suggested it two years ago and I show it off to anyone who will listen. I really appreciate that putting in a new episode is simply a matter of going through a grid of pictorial icons. Best of all I can add my own if I’m having a symptom or using a treatment that isn’t listed. It automatically tracks my sleep and local weather if I turn on those options do I don’t have to write them down anymore. Additionally I can send reports to myself as emails, PDFs, spreadsheets... the creators have provided many options and platforms so that my doctor and family know how to help me. Last but not least there are groups that I can join or ignore with people who are on the same meds, who have the same types of migraines, or who live in my area. So I can ask for advice if I want to. There are even areas where I can jot myself notes to accompany a migraine episode or sleep record. For times when I’m sick with the flu or the neighbors dog barked all night. I LOVE this app!

I love that I can keep track of My chronic headaches and triggers.

App makes it easy to note what lead to attack and get an idea of how long your attacks generally last. This is helpful when trying to relate my symptoms to my doctor.
