Pain Tracker & Diary

This is a great little app but I’m finding it freezes quite a lot of the time when I’m trying to input the location and type of pain. May because I have a variety of pain types that are interlocking and cover a wide surface area of the boy? But it’s frustrating to have finally found and app that does exactly what I need only to have to freeze constantly on me. It is just not letting me add the pain specifics onto the body or if I do then I it won’t save the input so I can’t move onto the next entry

This is good for logging pain location, type, and intensity. However, sometimes it’s difficult drawing accurately while you’re experiencing the pain, I wish I could do a pain map, which I can draw on to show these attributes, and then simply touch the one that’s affecting me at the time. Also, it would be useful to have a body outline which includes the skeleton, since a lot of my pain is skeletal. Sometimes it’s vey difficult to explain to the dr. exactly where the pain is. Thank you.

This app meets my needs for a tracker which is quick and simple to use, yet has enough features and flexibility to make it genuinely useful for tracking different kinds of pain. The ability to draw on the area of pain is extremely helpful, and the menu for adding types of pain is very intuitive. The playback feature is a nice touch and the developer has put a lot of thought into making the app as feature rich and helpful as possible. It’s good that it’s available on both iPhone and iPad, but it would be useful if you could link accounts across devices. It would also be good if you could select more than one type of pain at once so that you don’t have to add each entry individually, but this is still a very solid app

After a serious RTA four years ago I have been using Nanolume’s Pain Tracker app to record all of my pain scores. In February I was asked by my Pain Consultant if I could export the data. V3 of the app only exported the numeric scores, not the pain diagram or notes. I contacted the support desk and they advised me that V4 was due soon and would have many new rich features, including a much improved export facility. This has been delivered as promised and it really ticks all of the boxes. The guys at Nanolume have been really busy and thorough in delivering a superb bug-free new release. This app is really great and for a few £’s as a one off subscription you get all of these rich features on top of the base free App Well done and thank you. Chris Cambridge United Kingdom

Pretty good, basic and fairly reasonable. Just one really major thing - the human figure is male. How come half the population matter so little that we can’t even show pain on an appropriate figure? Where’s the basic ability to switch to a representative picture? What’s the point of visual representation that doesn’t actually represent the patient?

I don’ t seem to see option to add pain duration of each pain entry.

I am day 3 post hip surgery and finding this app excellent to track my pain. I wondered if the developers might help me with a few queries: 1- Is it possible to export data with notes in a column? 2- Do you plan to add in a function to log when medication is taken? 3- How can I access the full chart without having to scroll across? The only viable option I see right now is to export the data and create my own charts. With 1 and 2 sorted I would rate 5 stars.

A superb app. I have shown this app to my pain management doc and also my Rheumatologist and both ate very interested in looking at it closer. The support given by the app owner has also been perfect. I highly recommend this app.

Paid £2.99 for the unlimited entries upgrade which featured as a pop up in the app. Then discovered it was another £1.99 if I wanted to unlock ‘numbness’ as a pain type, another 99p to have the ability to edit existing entries, another 99p to customise pain types (limited to 3 customisable entries) and £2.99 to unlock the ‘interactive summary’. All in all £9.95 for this app if you want all the features. I understand apps take time, money and effort to create and deliver but to have hidden charges which are just shy of £10 is daylight robbery. There are apps just as comprehensive out there which charge a fraction of this and are upfront about it when you first download them. Luckily I only lost £2.99, but I still feel ripped off to find to actually make proper use of this app I would have to spend more.

It’s good at what it does but desperately needs a feature to display the graphs over a longer period such as month by month, year by year. Failing this, being able to export the pain ratings to Excel would be helpful.
