Pros and cons of Headache Diary (ecoHeadache) app for iPhone and iPad

Headache Diary (ecoHeadache) app good for

**review update, one other suggestion. Duration of disability only allows hours right now. It should allow days the same as pain duration** I have been trying out a few migraine diary apps over the lady month. This ones seems to address quite a few shortcomings of the other apps. A HUGE one is that it allows for inputting durations of longer than 24 hours. For some reason almost none of the other apps allow this, even though its constantly requested in the reviews of the apps. There is also a much better built in drug database. One issue I have is that wafer or rapimelt is not included in doses. Maxalt and other brands come in that formulation. Do Id like to request that as a feature. So far I am quite pleased and I hope development continues because I think you have a clear edge on the other apps.
This is a very useful well designed app for migraines and other types of headaches. I was using the free version (cap of 3 diaries max) for a month and just recently upgraded to the paid version. The app allows me and my dr to keep track of my migraines on a long term basis and makes it much easier to keep a diary than the old pen and paper format. Get the paid version as the free trial is limited to only tracking 3 headaches. A+
Easy to use, saves all relevant data for each migraine attack. Nice statistical analysis.
Love this app! Easy to use and useful for tracking my headaches.
Very useful tool that has helped track and monitor my migraine severity, triggers and medication. I have recommended to others and recommend it for anyone trying to monitor their migraines and med intake
Great app that helps track many aspects related to headaches including some I would never have bothered to track without this app.

Some bad moments

App is quite good. Support is very bad. No email on webpage. Report sent with email has very poor format. Some characters are printed totally wrong. When will you fix this? As is cannot be presented to doctors, too poor. A pdf from the preview would be perfect.
Somehow it bugged and everything disappeared... I started using it only a month ago so its not that bad for now but... Will it do this again? Id give this app 4 stars if it would use iCloud backup, and 5 if the app would also be well translated in French (right now its not looking very professional in french). Still, the focus is iCloud synching! This is vital!!! Thanks anyway.
Used to be the best class but now will not even launch in iOS 8. With daily headaches I need to have this fixed fast.
Update Sept23/14 - I cant open this app with the iOS 8 update! I need this fixed fast!! I have years worth of data on here! And I cant find an email address to contact the developer! Update Oct20/12 - WOW!!! I now have the full version and recently printed off the report for my doc. Both she and I were amazed at the amount of information given. I continue to enjoy the customizable features - especially the non-prescription "Therapies" section! As I try to do this first, before resorting to prescription medication - this is a great way to track whether or not its actually effective! I was impressed with how many MORE ways this one is customizable. And the number of ways it reports....incredible!
Needs update to open within IOS9. Gone from great app to useless. No stars given as it is just a nameless picture on my phone serving no purpose for those who use it daily to track headaches.
Ability to personalize parameters makes this very practical & very flexible Would like option to add to type of pain. Could use calendar view. Also would like more line graphs and fewer bar graphs to track intensity and duration. My favorite migraine app. Only needs a few tweaks to be perfect.
