Comments: HeadApp! is a free and detailed headache diary that offers straightforward symptom and trigger logging, medication tracking, and basic report generation making it a practical tool for better understanding and managing headaches. While useful for self-monitoring, it's not a substitute for medical advice or professional care.
Safety concerns: You shouldn't rely solely on this app to manage headaches or migraines and you're encouraged to consult a healthcare provider for personalised medical advice and treatment.
New Zealand relevance: Yes.
