Too difficult to use in the middle of a headache. Bet the App developer does not suffer migraines.#96

V

As a brain cancer survivor (anaplastic meningioma) with 33 gamma knife radiation treatments post resection, and ongoing headaches, I find it near impossible to input data, keep it there, get back to it to update as the day & symptoms progress. Using the app causes more headache pain & confusion to me than the knowledge of it could possibly be beneficial to anyone.

Agree. The app thinks I haven’t had a migraine in 10 days because I can never manage in the moment to go through the intensive logging process. A quick log function would be very valuable, followed by check in notifications as I often forgot to update when the migraine ends.

Also agree. I sometimes forget to log migraines as the pain is too intense and unable to think clearly. A migraine today button would be great with option to fill in data days later. A reminder to fill in the data a day or two later is also important as, with migraines, forgetfulness surfaces after migraine.

Agree. Once my body is done with a migrain a stack dump happens. Those memories, like giving vaginal birth are gone.

I understand these comments. I find it hard too. However, you can already just hit the migraine button and skip to save without entering any further details.
I agree that a reminder function for a migraine entered without details and not updated for say 24hours would be a good idea.

Nb i do have chronic migraines btw.

Thank you for the kind comments.
We are actually having migraine in the team too.

And we are doing our best to serve the broad needs people are facing. If you go through the suggestions and requests, you will actually see a loooooot more requests from fellow migraineurs to add more tracking possibilities, thus more complexicity.

BUT, as explained in the onboarding, you can simply start the recording and come back to it later :) That’s what I do. Actually I only do a hard press on the app icon. It is by far the fastest.

You can also remove the screens you do need. We can not know which screens are really important for your specific case, Only YOU can decide. You can leave only 2 screens with 2 icons if you wish. And done!
