Contact Migraine Buddy Support

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.

I 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.

As someone who’s struggled with chronic debilitating migraines for over 15 years and tried so so many different things without any success... I’d also tried many different tracking methods and finally decided that tracking wasn’t going to help, but hinder, as it caused too much focus on the migraines and I needed to focus on living. But this app has changed all of that!!! THANK YOU Migraine Buddy for creating something that helps me do both! For helping me easily, quickly and simply input data about my migraines, keep track, and keep living my life to the best of my ability. But ALSO, the oh so helpful tools, connection with the community, reports, weather (my biggest trigger has always been barometric pressure!! - and now for the first time EVER I have the ability to plan to the hour of when I can take my meds or know when I’m going to start going downhill just to know even if I can’t take one of my meds... it’s helps to know if I need to buck up or to go lay down if I can), ability to see patterns, etc... this app and its tools has been the single most helpful thing in the last decade for me of communicating with my doctors, identifying my auras, and figuring out what actually helps. Thank you!! All in a way that doesn’t take over my life and keep me fixated on my migraines - they are already present enough!

If you have migraines and are thinking about this app - GET IT!
