My Pain Diary: Chronic Pain & Symptom Tracker App Reviews

Perfect to monitor my chronic pain condition

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.

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

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

Ive 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.

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 dont 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.

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. Its 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 its me, thats 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 cant 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 its 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!!

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.

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.

I have Lupus & RA and am on many medications. I wish there was a medications list, a diagnosis section, tests & past surgical history. Also, there are days that I am too sick to make a journal entry and if you miss a day - the app will NOT let you go in to add an entry. I kept a hand written journal, prior to purchasing this app, and I cannot add any of my previous daily info. I have no clue what the ⭐️ (yellow star)

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: - cant 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 wont load if you edit an entry after saving it. And it wont load on some exported reports -cant change the order of items in each list, they are only listed alphabetically. Overall; this is the simplest but also most detailed app Ive found for tracking my chronic pain and other things.

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!

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 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 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

This is the only way Ill actually document my headaches! Ive tried other apps and this one is by far my favorite. Very simple to use and no crashes or issues.

Love how easy it is to monitor and graph everything I want to keep track of!

This app has been amazing in helping me track my pain! The interface takes a bit to learn but once you do its pretty easy after that. It is very customizable to what you are tracking which is great. My doctor absolutely loved the report I printed out for her and took the name of the app down so she could tell other patients about this app and how helpful it is for tracking pain.

Great nice features easy to use. Customized if needed excellent and Ive downloaded a lot of apps to try to track my chronic migraines. I can print them or email them. Plus it even tracks the weather conditions.

I really like this app. I have pain in most of my joints and helps me to keep track of pain so I can relay it to my doctor. I wish however you would have an entry for treatment that you tried and possibly the results of treatment. Because some times ice can take away my pain and then other times I may try 3-4 things before I get relief. Also something that would rate your pain after treatment. This would me very useful when the doctor is working on pain management to help him see what is working and what isnt. For a while I was able to add a category, and I added both of those categories and used them a lot. It was helping my doctor to better control my pain. I hope you would allow that option again. Then it would definitely be 5 stars. Thank you for your continued improvements and to listening to suggestions.
