Migraine Buddy: Track Headache for Negative User Reviews

✓ Useful but annoyingI like the app a lot to help me track the frequency and intensity of my migraines as well as keep up with triggers, useful treatments, sleep schedule, etc. but the one thing that i HATE about this app and annoys me to NO END are the CONSTANT notifications. Its like the only way you can get the app to leave you alone is if you’re just constantly on the app at all times. The insights page can be a nice resource to learn new info and tools but the app will always always always say that you have a new notification even if you’ve just read everything new on there and even interacted with all the interactive posts. It’s so annoying because I’m one of those people that likes to try and keep my notifications cleared but it is IMPOSSIBLE to do that with this app. Too many notifications! I have my notifications on for the app to remind me to log my sleep and migraine times but the constant notifications are never ending and drive me nuts! I wish it wasn’t so annoying because I really like the usefulness of the app and I've never found anything like it but the bombardment is very irritating..HemumfordVersion: 32.2.2

✓ Used to be good, but crashes constantly nowFormerly liked this app, but in the last 6 months I’ve been unable to use it more often than not. App crashes constantly when using it, then won’t load after it crashes. Have tried uninstalling/reinstalling, restarting phone, force quitting app and it doesn’t resolve the issue..GhostsongsVersion: 59.0.11654

✓ Bloated nonsenseTried to come back to this app after a few months, it has been ruined by an update that make you sift through dozens of pages trying to sell you useless pseudoscience “reports” to find the most basic info like average sleep time or the calendar with your migraine history. It’s made deliberately tedious to navigate just to shove as much gimmicky advertising in your face as possible. Download something that actually lets you view the migraine data you entered without giving you a headache in the process..R100123Version: 55.0.10951

✓ Great app - irritating notification badges hard to dismissWhilst I love this app so far and have a premium subscription, one major irritation is the notification badge on the app displaying an unread notification - then you have to hunt around in the app to find the notification for the badge to disappear. Sometimes I just give up since it’s not obvious what is triggering the notification in the app. In some sections there is a clear icon displaying an unread item but in others there isn’t. The developer should think about grouping all notifications in a single location so that it’s easy to find an action to dismiss the notification. *Update - sleep tracking is so terrible that I’ve switched it off*.Mich_in_OZVersion: 59.0.11654

✓ Loading……The last thing you want to do when you’re in the midst of a migraine and trying to track it is wait several minutes for the next page of tracking settings to open. And this is what I’m experiencing with the app now. It’s a very painful process, literally. Please fix this..Sebony79Version: 41.0.3188

✓ Overall fantastic. One annoying persistent bug.It has been impossible to buy themes and has been through several versions and several contacts with the account that the error tell me to. Default theme's orange is painful to me during attack. Problem is that they won't fix it! 😡.DesikittehVersion: 50.0.8074

✓ Used to love the app but currently unable to login and unable to create a new accountUsed to love the app but currently unable to login and unable to create a new account.Nope.Not.Doing.It.Version: 63.0.12493

✓ Upgrades are more like downgradesI was not happy with the upgrades made earlier in 2018. They had a really good thing going and by trying too hard to make it better, in my opinion, ruined it. There were more pictures and fewer labels, frustrating for those of us that can read. And became slightly less intuitive to use. And then I got a new device and many of my apps didn’t transfer. I had to reinstall the app, and for some reason, when I logged on it wouldn’t sync with my data. Customer support told me I would have to start over recording them. I lost over a year and a half of migraine diaries, which was problematic. And I kept getting errors logging in that said “Something seems to have gone wrong. Try again later...” Customer support did respond within 48 hours, but the help I got was useless. I’ve yet been able to login to the app on my new device and have gone ages without being able to record migraines. I’ve given up using this..Pig_MomVersion: 25.2.8

✓ Good app but don’t be fooled, you will be charged!I have a 1 star review due to your lack of transparency with fees. I had to put billing info in, prior to getting the app, with a notice saying that there will be no charge unless there’s in app purchases. I put billing info in and confirm, then I’m charged! What’s the go with that?! Really disappointing and doesn’t instill any faith or trust. How will I now trust that I won’t be charged for anything else whilst using the app?!.ReikininjaVersion: 24.4.6

✓ Crashes on iPhone 13proWas my go-to migraine tracking app for the last few years. Now unusable on my iPhone 13pro running iOS 15.2. App crashes every time I try to log an attack. :(.Mike7robsVersion: 45.0.5637

✓ DisappointedI’m extremely upset the all my records of migraines have been deleted and I have recorded for years and I have to restart all over again.Jensky 9069Version: 47.0.6984

✓ Not for occasional migraine sufferers.I’ve had this app for a while now. The problem I’ve had with it from the beginning is the thing that finally pushed me over the edge last night. There should be a way to override or bypass entering the end time of the last migraine event upon starting a new one. Or have a simple checkbox selection of “1-2 hours”, “2-4 hours”, etc. I don’t always remember to go back and set an exact end time. I’m usually too happy that it’s over to remember to go back and self-report. So then when a new one starts, I have to fumble around my calendars (and my already impaired brain) to try and input an end time just so that I can start recording a new one. Most of the time I just fudge the times with a made up length. Last night my migraine came out of nowhere and I had no time to mess around. So of course this was when I discovered all the updates done to the app. Panicking, I just started jabbing at the screen. It was covered with text and buttons of different colors and fonts - all screaming for my attention. I had no idea how to end the last event or start a new one. I was befuddled in migraine haze and pain and half-thought... and utter confusion. I get a migraine only about 1-3 times a month. Sometimes I go two months without any. Maybe this app isn’t for people who use the app as infrequently as that. For regular users, I’d give this app 4 stars. For people like me, I give it 1-2..FlyingHugAttackVersion: 34.6.0

✓ Bad timng? Or bad tracking?Received notification today that your period tracker is now free. The timing is suspect (you should look at social media, but I suspect you already know why). I have deleted the app..WindjadeVersion: 51.0.8878

✓ Useful APThis is simple and easy to use. My son completes his own record. He’s 14. Maybe add a section for preventer medication with dose rate so changes over time can be tracked..BazaNZVersion: 26.1.0

✓ Used to be awesome…This used to be so simple. I had a migraine, I could quickly record start time, symptoms, and rescue meds by clicking some icons to move through screens, skip if needed and go back later to fill in details. I’ve been using it for several years to track migraine patterns as I try different meds, diets, exercise regimes etc. to control chronic migraine, and I thought it was really helpful. Now, it stalls after every selection. I just choose “Record an Attack” and it gets stuck even when I just choose the headache type. It just spins…When I go to actually fill in the details later, I really don’t want to spend 30 min recording info for a single headache. I don’t have the energy or focus to wait for this when I’m just trying to get the basic data recorded for my neuro. Very frustrating! To be honest, I hope this isn’t a push to get loyal users to upgrade to a subscription they don’t need. For info, I’m currently on iPhone 11+max, iOS 14.8, and the app hasn’t worked properly for a couple of months..CborkentVersion: 41.0.3188

✓ Stressful on-boarding due to subscription promo, iPad app is really an iPhone appDuring the initial setup, the app offered a 24-hour limited promo for a cheaper subscription. Those suffering from headaches and migraines don’t need another source of stress! It’s like the marketing folks forgot to check in with the medical folks. As well, while the app says it works on iPads, in practice the app is not usable. While I would normally use it on my phone, I was hoping to do some setup and put in some prior recorded headaches in. However, on my iPad Air the text is too small and the app doesn’t resize in Stage Manager. I’m trying a competitor instead..DeviantintegralVersion: 62.0.12179

✓ Okay. ExpensiveIt’s seems to be an okay app. Really frustrating that you have to create an account before being told it costs money to use it..Cpj8Version: 62.0.12179

✓ Monthly Subscription RequiredThe fact that a monthly subscription FEE is REQUIRED is not made known until AFTER they get your email address and pw for login. Sick of apps with this tactic..EvChev21Version: 53.0.10255

✓ Not user-friendlyAs a sufferer of chronic cluster headaches, I would like an easy-to-use recording app for the time a headache starts and the medication I have taken with the option of including details of where the pain is. Sadly this is far too ‘busy’ to try to use when a headache hits. There are too many screens to have to try to progress through and it won’t let me record my next headache until I say when the last one finished. Usually, if I take a medication that works, the headache goes away and I’m either drowsy or asleep when the headache ends. Try to consider these points when designing for people in so much pain..LadyTash74Version: 32.2.2

✓ Great but not perfectThis is a great app for recording your migraines, and trying to work out the triggers… But it’s not perfect, for me I think my sleep patterns are an issue, this app can manually record your daily sleep hrs, or automatically on a iPhone 5 or better, I have a 4s, so the app will not do this automatically on a 4s, this is not mentioned in the app blurb. The other issue it does not give very good reports, and there is no reports for your sleep records other than your average sleep time. You can get reports by paying a monthly subscription to Migraine buddy, this is not mentioned in the Apps info blurb before you purchase..RelkcrotVersion: 15.3.5

✓ Complete overloadThis app pushes it’s paid content so hard I feel like I’m choking. I don’t want constant notifications of articles. I don’t want to be consistently reminded I’m not paying for some feature I don’t want. I don’t want red dots on every page because I ignore most of the features of this app. I’m in blinding pain, I just want to log that I have a headache and what meds I used and maybe some notes. Developers, I’d you find my review I want an off switch for features and content in this app so I can simplify it to my preferences. Until then, no thanks..EhcornVersion: 50.0.8074

✓ Bad redesign, not optimisedThe redesign layout is bad on iPhone 7 and similar smaller iOS devices. It feels as though you have improved it on larger newer devices to the detriment of older iPhone users, which is a real shame. Recording an attack is now harder for me. For an update that you claim was supposed to help improve recording attacks, that's really a botched update... The pain onset head images are so small now I cannot pick the areas of pain properly and easily like before. Overall, the app is getting worse and worse. The design choices are making it harder to use this app. No visible improvements, only clutter and degradation of quality and worse and worse ease of use..Reviews by MVersion: 35.0.3
