My Pain Diary App Reviews

I love this app and recommend it to anyone who needs to journal pain. I have a herniated disc in my neck and need to track my pain for 6 months. This is easy to use and gives you a good calendar as well as a graph and PDF file that can be sent to your doctor. Very user friendly!

I love this app because is can be customized to fit you and your pain. Easy to keep track of bad days.

I tried contacting the developer and it’s been over a month and no response back I am disappointed with this app. I can’t even add my meds to this won’t even give time the option

Quick & easy to chart even complex episodes. Just as easy to review or correct past entries. I have chronic pain from back injury and facial neurological disease. I love having real data to show my doctors- and myself!- how m active my pain is and to track effectiveness of new treatments.

This app is excellent for tracking pain. I use it for headaches. You can document intensity, type, location, associated symptoms. All easily as there are preset types to choose and a pic of a skull to tap location and if the type doesn’t fit into one of the presets then you can add your own or add notes. Gives you graphs and charts. Keeps track of time of day and weather.

First of all,thanks for making such useful app for chronic disease patient.but there are some problems.Can you fix some bugs in editing?When I tried to delete existing options,the app turned off. And I just realized that there is a recent version.Can I upgrade mine?

Love how easy it is to monitor and graph everything I want to keep track of! At the same time it's comprehensive enough to be insightful and beneficial for me and my doctor.

I am so glad I found this app. My physical therapist told me I need to keep a diary. This has met all my expectations and more. I like that I can make a check list of my triggers, remedies, types of pains, and make notes. I have not printed out the report as yet. My therapist liked being able to scroll through my entries on the phone. Highly recommend !!

I love this app and it is really helpful. My only wish is that you could "draw your pain" on the body.

I was able to send photos to my Doc when I had random joints swell up. I would not have been able to documents my pain without this tool. Thank you for creating this! I am a BIG fan!

One day day just poof! gone! Ssooooo mad. Was my favorite bc it was one click to track.

This is such a great way to really keep track of your pain / especially if you have different areas of concern. It is always a eye opener for me and a great source when you are trying to share your pain with your doctor or loved ones. It easy to use and awesome to be able to personalize it for your needs! Love the reports and graphs. Thanks for creating this amazing tool!

App is user friendly. It works as intended. Love the print reports feature- I can save specialized reports to my computer as PDF (or other file type of my choosing) and print it off when I go to my pain management physician. Having a detailed record such as this is excellent for showing if my current treatment plan is working, is a good visual for my doc (and me), helps me and my doc decide what kinds of changes to make in my treatments. App is easily customizable. KUDOS/GOOD THINGS: - easily customize your lists related to your needs... (My entry lists include "pain location", "type of pain", "current activity", "medication taken", and "pain interventions" and each of these lists I have customized to fit my needs, including an entry to indicate that it is a pain re-assessment after I took meds or did another intervention. - save/print/email many different types of reports in various formats. - you choose how detailed or simple you want it to be. - weather tracker auto loads when making each new entry. - use this app as a diary/tracker for many other things, not just pain, Since it is so customizable - use for various pain issues/injuries and load reports separately for each (or combined) WISH LIST/BUGS: - can't copy one entry and paste it to a new date/time. **This would be very useful when I have the same type/severity of pain on a different day (as happens quite often). Or, if I could save a couple of "default" entries and just paste them into the date/time I need, that would be useful. - **GRAPHS are very difficult to read/view with limited info and space... SO much potential here! - weather won't load if you edit an entry after saving it. And it won't load on some exported reports -can't change the order of items in each list, they are only listed alphabetically. Overall; this is the simplest but also most detailed app I've found for tracking my chronic pain and other things.

It's a good app, and probably great for chronic pain suffers, but not quite what I need for fm. There's a lot of customization possible, but that means there's a lot to do to get it to be what you want. I like the weather tracking feature. I haven't tried creating a report yet.

I appreciate this app! No longer do I have to remember to carry a notepad and pen. My journal is always with me! Thanks a million,dude. From a grateful Vet

Overall, I think this is a good app, but there are a few things that would make it much more useful for tracking pain. First, it would be nice if you could zoom in on the graph and inputs over the course of a day, such as hour by hour pain scores. I would also like to see the ability to set custom scales (such as anxiety) that can be overlaid onto the same graph as the pain scale. That way it would easy to see how pain changes in relation to another metric that has variable level inputs.

Love this app. As someone who is challenged with fibromyalgia and CFS, this really helps me keep track of what impacts or possibly triggers flare ups. I would love to see a body map similar to the head map where I could properly document my pain and tender areas. Rheumatologist always want you to identify where the pain is as well as describe the type of pain. I would love to be able to better point out the areas and the the type of symptoms associated with the area to have a report that I can easily provide to my doctor. If it had these capabilities I would gladly give it 5 stars and pay for an upgraded version.

My dr. loves having these detailed report stated day. Easy data entry and easy to customize to your own needs to record your pain and what triggers the pain. Would like to see this app asked for a pain rating after the intervention as well.

I was loving this app until it started force closing on me. I can’t get through inputing two symptoms before it closes itself. After paying $4.99 for this app, I’m really dissatisfied! If it is fixed, I’ll change my review. I also wish there was a section where you can track your medications for the day as well, if I might suggest that for future updates?

I've modified this to track the progress (or regress!) of neurological symptoms after starting therapy for Pernicious Anemia. Takes almost no time!

I used to live by this app; I used to recommend it all the time but I started to get lazy and stopped putting entries in. I just put it back on and it has done a force quit THREE times in less than an hour. I am so glad I did not spend the $4.99 on the gold app.

Ive suffered with knee pain since my early teen years. Since then I have been slammed by Semi truck on the freeway because traffic was at a dead stop, i’ve been hit head on by two vehicles for racing down a country road to nailed me. I’ve been slammed off a cliff because I wouldn’t support a man 7 years older than me. I have been abused by boyfriends. This application I found back in 2013/2014 area and fell in love with it. It’s so much easier to track what I’m going through. Track what does and doesn’t help me. Everyday is different Your able to send reports to your doctor, as long as you have a email for them. Or you can even print it out and hand it over during your appointment. It’s been helping me understand what the weather, what I do on a daily basis, so on; to manage how things affect my pain or my osteoarthritis or my Fibromyalgia and even my migraines I’ve tried many pain tracking applications and I always fall back to this one.

Great app!

This is a Great App BUT...., It crashes every time I try to save an entry!! And sometimes I don’t even get that far before it just up & QUITS ON ME COMPLETELY AND LOSES 💯% of what I had entered into my pain Diary up to that point‼️ PLEASE PLEASE FIX THIS BUG IN YOUR APP ASAP ‼️‼️‼️ I desperately NEED TO BE USING YOUR APP‼️‼️‼️

I have use this tool to track and manage my neuropathy and I have also come to rely on as well for managing and tracking behaviors of children with mental health issues. The intensity scale is useful for tracking, overtime, behaviors and how extreme they are and whether or not they are improving. It was very useful for my peripheral neuropathy to print out the report for my doctor to show good days bad days and long-term trends. I would recommend using this as it helps to visualize what you are experiencing.

This is an excellent app for anyone with chronic pain who is trying to understand or control it. It prints an excellent Pdf file to print and hand in to your pain Doctor. It's a great app. If I were to suggest any improvements, I would improve upon making the different color flags that represent different types of pain, (head, neck, back, etc) I would make those a tad easier to use. Maybe it's me, that's a possibility. But I seem to do fine with the rest of the app. I just know that most people who have severe pain and can't work, at some point some depression starts to creep in. Whether you take any thing for that is your choice, but I would like to see the app make it easier to track them simultaneously. I know you can, but to me it's a little difficult, and takes away from the root of the problem when looked at the graph. Sorry, point being; I would just like to see it separate, yet viewed next to the root problem on the weekly and monthly graphs. I feel if it were easier people would be able to control the depression aspect easier. Pain is hard to control, but with the right tools you can track how the pain affects your mood. Thank you for reading my Novel, sorry bout that!!

Disappointed in the fact that there are 2 apps by the same developer both cost $4.99 and the newer one is the gold edition of the first but no where does it say that and foes it give you an option to update without paying again. The day i bought i could have bought the gold from beginning but did not know. Contacted developer but no one got back to me. Very disappointing since i suffer from a incurable disability where my muscles in my body spasm and i have no control over them. My condition is called cervical dystonia. Just dont have money to keep throwing away on apps to find out thst i should have bought the newer version. Really sad

I thought this was a great app for keeping record of my pain for my doctors, until I found two problems with it. First, it will not keep in the report all the photos I add and second, the request link for help doesn’t go anywhere. They to step back and bring things up to date. Very disappointed, I’ve used it to report my pain to my VA doctors for years and have recommended the app to lots of veterans. If they can’t or won’t fix the problems, I’ll have to find something else that will work.

I wanted to start a journal that could track my fibromyalgia pain and also be able to write notes about things. This app does that and more. I'm very impressed with the app and glad I'm using it. I would recommend it to anyone who is trying to figure out what's going on because we sure tend to forget how bad the pain was, what a good day we've had, and these things are really good to know especially when trying medications.

Started using this app three weeks ago and its used daily. I really like it. The app did take me awhile to figure out but I've been able to customize it for my needs. I love the function that allows you to email your doctor a copy of your data. The report is very well laid out and easy to understand.

This is a wonderful app, works as advertised. Extremely customizable and does amazing at tracking my pain and Meds. I highly recommend it for anyone with chronic pain and lots of Meds.

I bought this app for my iPhone and it does nothing that it says it does and shows none of the screens are operations that the description pictures and advertises! And I click on the user guide and about my pain diary and I get URL server not found how do I get a refund for this?!!! The only thing this app does is cause me more stress which causes more pain. Thanks a lot!😖

Somewhat customizable. Love the "lock" feature when starting the app, makes me feel more secure keeping this info in an app on my phone.

App not usable on updated iPhone software. Doesn’t keep history and crashes at every use.

Not worth paying the $4.99. It does not allow to make entries unless you pay for upgrades. False advertising and deceitful.

I've only been using it for my own personal use and it works great when I go see the doc and I can better rate my pain also the scale helps me more accurately rate my pain.

Part of my problem is shaking and trembling hands which made keeping a journal messy... so thankful for this app, I sincerely mean that... I love it Ec

I’ve been a My Daily Pain journal for 2 years & there’s no longer updates for this app. IF, I upgrade to the GOLD EDITION, will all of my entry data be available to see on the newest app edition? Thank you.

I just wrote a bad review and it was immediately removed. False advertising and hidden agenda. ***If the "privacy policy link would have actually been a real website that existed, I might have known it linked to fb!???? And they are privy to all your personal info and for what?****

Read a review about this pain app and thought I would give it a try. I just have at least 5 different pain trackers on my phone that I don't use. I have 2 different chronic pain conditions that really need to be tracked for better management but none of my old ones were very good. I actually LOVE this app. It allows you to individualize it for your specific condition and take down a lot of critical information. I highly recommend this.

I love the app but with all the weird fonts and features like the notepad and paper clip, it’s design is distracting. I didn’t even see the “save” button until weeks after using. I thought I had saved entries for those weeks, now there’s nothing.

I want to love this app, but there is one detail that will keep it off my home screen, and that is the lack of discretion. I don't want everyone that sees my home screen to see that I have a chronic pain app. Of course my family knows, but I don't want anyone else to know. I want to be able hand my phone to someone to look at pictures, to show them an app or whatever without having to worry they might hit the home button. If it just read MPD or something I could keep it, but having to keep it out of sight in a folder means I'm a lot less likely to use it. It's unfortunate because I think it's a good app.

It works wonderful. Being able to track weather, pain and adjusting some of the details makes it perfect for so many things. Even have an alarm set to remind me when fibro fog is bad. Lol

I really like this app I just wish it was easier to figure out how to use the color tags.

Every time I try to add my FIRST event this app crashes each time!!! Biggest waste of $4.99 EVER!!!! (iPhone 7plus)

Helps pain diminish by carefully tracking.

This is a very useful app. I take it to my pain management Doctor to show how I'm doing. I like to weather feature if helps to see if flair ups are weather related.

Perfect to monitor my chronic pain condition

I just started using it and I’m still learning, but it’s interesting to see the pain in a calendar. There is a bug that makes it crash to home screen when you delete a metric, which is frustrating when you’re in the middle of an entry.

Trying to edit pick fields causes the app to crash foe me. Unusable.
