Too many additional purchases. Originally I thought it was a great app. But functions that you really need to make it useful started becoming a charge. $1.99 here. $2.99 there by the time I would be done paying for all the additional charges I would need to make this app truly functional to track ALL my pain (numbness included, that's an extra charge) the entire app is over $10. Not worth it. I'm sure there is something better out there. I'm already dealing with fighting pain everyday, I just need an app that is easy and one price.

Mark F. This App is helpful in tracking various pain types I’ve experienced relating to diabetic neuropathy. Looking forward to working with it going forward.

Wonderful. Great tool. Easy to use. It makes me feel confident that I am accurately relaying my symptoms and the progress of my illness to my doctors

Absolute Waste of money. App will only let me add 2 types of pain (sometimes only 1) and when I click on the “add pain” button, sometimes repeatedly, it simply will not let me add another. I have tried just deleting and starting over but it refuses to add only 1 or 2. It is absolutely worthless to me if I cannot show ALL types of pain and where. I mean that is this app’s sole purpose after all.

It’s got huge potential but I can’t use it. There is missing a huge component - tracking medication (and other therapies) in response to the pain. My pain management Dr asked me to keep a pain diary and see how much breakthrough pain medication and what type of medication(s) I need to take to deal with it. I can’t do that with this app unfortunately. Otherwise it looks like it’s easy to use.

Awesome pain tracker for CRPS. I love the way this works. Simple and very inclusive. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is I find it to be very slow. Perhaps an update might help? IDK I'm not a developer. This is an essential tool if you want to receive proper care for chronic pain of any kind. Thank you to the developers for providing it for us! Well worth the price!

I want my money back.. This app was not what it promises. If you are in pain it definitely is hard to make the color patterns darker. Also, the keyboard blocks half the notes area. The colors are predominantly the same and you can't use all the pain patterns together because then they bleed into one blob. I'm very disappointed. Do not buy this.

Great app. Great app helps alot

Great app, but should expand.. Love the app. It’s very well done. I wish there was a female body though. Also, it would be great if the pain scale had a more standardized association with each number (like a face or description).

Nanolume App. This is the best app for RSD/CRPS there is hands down. You can go into to app and track where and how bad your pain is. It is worth every penny. I have RSD/CRPS since 2009 when I had ulnar nerve surgery. I want to personal thank my Dr. and his staff for the help with my pain.

Need Trash Feature. It took me awhile to understand the app, meanwhile I could not delete the entries not needed. The trash feature needs to be added.

Appears free but isn't. Upgrade fees to use any extra feature. Don't be fooled

Great app. This is a wonderful app for recording and tracking symptoms related to CRPS. Highly recommend!!

You will have to pay, but it's pretty worth it. I like the app, and will keep it and buy some of the additional features BUT, if you are considering this app, bear in mind that the "Free" version just lets you create 10 entries. This lets you check out the interface (which is fairly good) to decide if you want to buy, but you will not be able to use this to track "chronic" pain more than 10 days (assuming you are logging pain once a day). If you are not willing to lay out $3 for a pain tracking app, don't waste 10 days checking this out. After checking this out...It is easy to enter pain records and review them, perhaps easier than other apps an I find the app in general to be way less ugly than other pain tracking apps. so that is good. FYI, The focus of the graphics is the type of pain rather than intensity. So you may have mild stiffness of the shoulders some days and severe stiffness other days and it will look exactly the same. The change only show if it goes from an ache to stabbing or burning or some other pain quality. Not sure that really suits my goals, but I'll try to work with it. One problem is that the different fill patterns are on such a large scale relative to the model person you are coloring on that it is hard to show with accuracy unless you circle half the body part affected. You can't really specify a specific part of the hand or foot (for example) so if you are logging joint or tendon pain it is not ideal. And you can't zoom in to make it easier either. Finally, I got this for the animated play-back, but found out after downloading that is was an add on feature. The description makes it sound like it's just part of the app (unless you scroll all the way to the bottom). I will probably buy the feature , but the developer should be clearer when he is describing the new feature that it is not actually available unless you purchase it separately. Note that you also have to pay for the ability to edit a pain record or copy it. That seems like a feature any functional app would just have, not an enhancement. But I guess they are making a living. Only other quibble is that when I'm trying to represent my pain, please don't make me have to sit there and think, "if I was a dude, where would I say it hurt?" Honestly, is it that big a deal to ask during initial set up to choose male or female for the figure in the diagram? This is the 21st century for Pete's sake. Oh...and don't even think that adding that as an "enhancement" is something you should make me pay $2 for. I actually don't have a problem with in-app purchases--I think it allows people only to pay for features that are important to them. More people buying at lower price balances out having just a few people willing to pay $25 for a gold plated bonanza of features that most folks won't use. However, they should be meaningful expansions of the apps capabilities, not just corrections to the shortcomings of the original app design.

A Must Have App In 2024. This is a must have app if you have RSD/CRPS or just chronic pain. This app has so many custom types to draw on your unisex body front and back. You can give each pain type a number and a range and there’s a place for charting anything notes you’d like your doctor to have. Best feature you can download it and print this beautifully illustrated charts out and bring them with you to your appointment or you can email them to your physician. It’s a total game changer for your treatment plan. My physician was able to tweak my plan and I have my life back. I’m so blessed to my pain controlled better. Give it a try it’s worth it.

Location not captured. Not sure why discrete location data is not deemed important enough to capture in this app. The body surface area calculator is cute, but not particularly useful clinically. It’s almost like someone made a burn calculator and then decided to build a pain app around it. Other pain logs collect more complete and useful info.

An innovative, awesome app!. I have always wished that I could make my doctor understand my pain by actually letting him feel it. This app comes the closest by far to allowing that to happen. It distinguishes the types of pain as well as the movement and location of the pain and allows you to put notes on each days entry. By using this app my doctor was able to zero in on my unique pain situation and address it accordingly. I highly recommend this app for anybody who is serious about tracking and managing your pain. Do your doctor and yourself a favor and and get this app immediately!

Love this app. I absolutely love the way the sun works you can’t really pinpoint where on your body any pain is and what kind and you can see them all together they get color differently and they’re like layers and you can see them all together or you could just see what kind of pain and they really helped me keep track.

So Helpful. This app was truly helpful and easy to track. I'm glad there is something like this to help me track my pain. Thank you!!!

Excellent. Easy to use and handy. Really like how easy it is to log multiple areas and levels of pain. Super support!

Really love this app, but. Dropped my phone a couple days ago and I can’t find any way to transfer a years worth of pain entries! The screen shot doesn’t work correctly either. When I touch the screen shot button it closes the app. So I am really hoping that iTunes will back up all the pain entries along with the app. Think maybe there should be a better way to xfer pain entries. A mass xfer would be preferable and would be a nice addition for xferrimg the data to your doctors instead of taking a picture of every single entry.

Great app for patients and docs!. Well organized and useful tool for patient and their doctors to track pain and improvement during treatment. GET IT! A steal for the price.

App Review. This is the most valuable tool I've ever used to narrow down my every day pain/chronic pain! I wish that every doctor made it a more visual way like this app for us to communicate what we are going through the outcome would be so different than it is now!! Keep up the good work!!

Just what the doctor ordered!. For years, I have been looking for a handy way to log my pain that didn't have to wait on me sitting at a computer or writing it on notes to get lost. This app delivers everything I need and more! This is a MUST for anyone suffering from chronic pain! Thank you!

The BEST pain tracker app EVER!!. This app is by far the most comprehensive pain tracker I've ever found...If you have RSD/CRPS then this app is truly an answer to prayers. There is finally a way to fully show and explain ALL the different types of pain you may have on any day and ALL the intensity levels you experience with each one. This is the most COMPLETE and cohesive pain tracker app that has expanded and tried to address the true root of ones pain in a way that lets the user have the ability to show their doctor each pain layer by layer and if you purchase the add-on it shows the trends your pain has. It even allows you to create your own custom pain types to use in addition to the wide array of preloaded pain types (with amazing and appropriate graphics for each one). This amazing tool allows both you and your doctor evaluate if treatments or medications are working over a period of time or if you need to try another course of treatment. This app seems to be equally as beneficial for both the user as well as their doctor and ensures that each type of pain is seen and addressed. I am extremely grateful and appreciative for genuine heart that the doctor who developed this app has. He not only saw the need for a pain tracker app like this he then found a way to fill that need and has continued to adapt this app as he receives feedback from users. Thank you from the bottom of this users heart!

Great App- just needs a couple of tweaks. Overall I think this is a great app, the best tracking app on the market. As others have mentioned, the free version gets you ten entries, after that you have pay, but that is enough to help you decide whether it works for you. A few suggestions: 1. Ability to zoom: sometimes it is hard to draw "the pain" on an iPhone - zooming in would support the ability to create a better representation of what is going on. 2. A female body option: I mean, really? I believe that women have chronic pain at a much higher rate than men- at least have a female body choice. 3. Default to back option: every time I create a new entry I have to hit the back view button. That should be an easy option to implement Thanks for the great work you have done!

Excellent. For those of us with chronic pain, this app is a must have. It allows us to identify and rate different types of pain all at once AND identify the area of the body each type of pain effects. Also, they are very responsive to any problems or concerns you might have. Responsive and kind and super quick to fix the problem. Get this app!!

Best pain app ever. This is the best pain diary ever! "Track it better. Treat it better." Is 100% correct. I have been dealing with chronic pain for years. This is the first pain diary I have used and have benefited from. I love all the different layers and being able to add multiple custom pain layers. This diary has helped me describe my pain better and explain/show my pain to my doctor. The ease of having multiple entries a day and seeing how my pain changes is awesome. I love being able to scroll through entries and see my pain. I usually also add a note (top left corner) to my entries since so many factors change my pain. I highly recommend this app to all people with chronic pain!

Extremely useful app for chronic pain patients. I developed CRPS over the last year which causes severe neuropathic pain. My pain fluctuates day to day and sometimes it’s hard to describe it. I found this app mentioned on a pain management blog and purchased it. It has been so helpful for me in documenting where my pain is located, kind of pain and intensity. I really like that the pain types are described. My physician was pleasantly surprised when he asked me about my pain, I was able to show my documentation of its progression on this app. Along with my other records, this app helped him to put together a pain management plan based on my individual need.

Not easy to add entries. The app offers a great personalized way of tracking… but, it doesn’t quite work yet. If you have pain in multiple areas, the “add” button doesn’t work. And because if you say you are “done” it locks your data, so you need to start over. Perhaps, there should be at least a 24 hour trial before collecting money, for a product that isn’t fully functional at this time.

Positives and two deficiencies. The Pain Tracker app does what it promises - 1) it allows the user (who probably has significant chronic pain) to make a log of the pain in real time that notes 1a) where the pain is located, and 1b) a user-interpreted quantitative assessment of how serious the pain is, and 1c) a qualitative description of what the pain feels like. 2) The app then allows putting the logs into a timeline to see how the pain changes over time. 3) This allows presenting to a physician or treatment provider a record over time to help in diagnosis and treatment. 4) The app includes a table of contents for usage and for rights the user has or does not have. These directions are very useful: 4a) included in this is a 1-10 scale of pain, for those times when you are asked "on a scale of 1 to 10, how bad is your pain?" For my use I built on this pain scale and was more descriptive in my ratings of pain. YMMV.) Note: while the use can draw on the silhouette humanI worked for awhile trying to draw the pain regions with a fingertip but ended up getting a stylus (like an Apple Pencil) that gave me better accuracy in my drawing. All the factors get five stars. However, for those instances in the late night or early morning when severe pain wakes you and you want to make an entry, the app does not do Dark Mode so the app will come on with daylight brightness and the person will have to wait for eyes to adjust to the illumination, and hope that anybody else who might be in the room is not awakened by the amount of light that pours out. Perhaps it is my fault that I cannot find the switch in preferences, nor can I find it in any settings inside the app. Dark mode has been around long enough that the app should have it as well. Deduct 1 star. I upgraded from an iPad Mini (4G) to a new iPad Mini (6G) and migrated all the data. Some time later when I accessed Pain Tracker to view my data it was all gone. That is, it the app could not find any data and so it looked like all the data was gone. I could not restore from backups. I resorted to a file explorer to look through the app. I found the csv file where the data was stored (and this is explicitly allowed in the Terms and Conditions) but not all the data was present. I ended up with an incomplete data set that is in a file that Excel can handle. The app should have a function to back up to iCloud or Dropbox that is more automated than the manual 'export data' that is available and the user has to remember to do. Deduct 1 star for this significant deficiency that allows data loss with no warning.

Excellent. This is the most amazing app for anyone wanting to keep track of their pain and for physicians to monitor their patients pain. This tracks all other symptoms such as numbness, stabbing, burning etc...!! This is a must have for everyone with chronic pain and any doctor that really cares about treating their patients!! God Bless you for this app!!! Amazing!!!

Good, so far.. Could you please add numbness to this? I have a lot of nerve damage, arthritis, cervical dystonia, and RSD. Numbness would be a great addition. Also, is there a place to add additional comments to the entry? I can't find it if there is. It would be helpful to be able to make remarks regarding the entry.

Why is the pain chart only a man's body?. This is frustrating for me, as a person with women's body parts, because I don't feel that I can accurately indicate where pain is. I have a lot of pain in the rib and chest area, and it's difficult for me to figure out where that specific location would be on a male body. Adding this option would be such a simple fix and would make it much more helpful. It seems someone else complained about this two years ago and they were told it would happen soon. Wow? Tell me the developer is male without telling me the developer is male. Gonna ask Apple for a refund on this. ✌️

New user. Excellent and well thought out app for tracking pain. And the developer is not only highly educated and experienced but also exceptionally compassionate and dedicated to helping patients with this horrific condition. That is truly a unique combination in health care today.

Stores data offline!. Every other pain tracking software stores private data online often without telling you. This app stores it only on your device and never attempts to collect it for analysis.

Easy, comprehensive yet simple, but IAPs push it. The good: this is one of the more UI-friendly pain trackers that still offers the ability to input a good amount of data: visual pain locations with varying types of pain with descriptors and a section for notes. All of your data is stored locally, and there's no sign-up required. The bad, or my personal annoyances: inability to edit each entry; you have to delete one and start over, or add multiples if your pain changes throughout the day. Personal quibble, but the figure is male-only, and we know men and women can experience gender-specific pain; this doesn't alter the function, but it's an annoyance to me. No way to zoom in on the figure. The local data cannot be exported for backup. Finally, it irks me that features are nickel-and-dimed as IAPs; to fully enable all functions of the app, it adds up to nearly $15. For some, that may be worthwhile, and I don't deny that it is a good app. But I truly dislike that sort of upgrade tiering.

Editing Please. Nice app! A powerful improvement would be the ability to edit or add to entries.

DNP. Such creativity and simplicity. Easy to document and isolate neuropathic verses nociceptive Pain. Love it!

Love this App. This is an amazing App to track my pain. It's easy to use and great to share with my doctor. I highly recommend this App!

Great tool!. Fantastic tool developed by a brilliant doctor! A must have for chronic pain sufferers!

Issue w/ the “add pain layer” button. The button to add a pain layer often stops working and I have to force close the app and then I am forced to start over. It would be great to have this issue fixed, but also to have an option to edit a pain entry after its “done”. Since editing isn’t possible, I have to start over if the button stops working. I love the concept of this app but for a paid app this is a basic functionality really needs to be fixed.

Awesome app!. My wife deals with CRPS and many times her pain is complex and affecting many locations a variety of ways, this app is perfect to track the pain as well as showing where each sensation is located! Since it was first released, the creators have been real attentive in addressing concerns and improving the app with every turn! I recommend this app to anyone who deals with chronic pain and needs to track it daily!

Nanolume "The pain management app". I am a long term chronic pain sufferer, and this is the only app that has been an actual benefit to the medical staff that treat me. If you are having a long term treatment plan for pain this is a must have app!

Pain Tracker. As a pain management professional, this app is perfect for my patients. It’s ability to be so specific in regards to location and quality of pain is invaluable to assessing correctly for diagnosis and treatment. The ability to document pain based on time of day, as well as how the pain ebbs and increases throughout time periods, makes H&P’s as well as billing justification a breeze. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Thrilled I found this app. First off, an app that has a traditional one time fee? Sign me up! This is exactly what I was looking for and more. I wanted to be able to track the different parts of my body that felt like I had sunburn to figure out what is causing my pain. This allows for that and more. Thanks for keeping this going!

What about the ladies?. I really like the pain range feature and being able to draw the type of pain. These are valuable features. However without two important features this app is useless for me: 1. Let me zoom in on the body so I can precisely pinpoint my pain and 2. Give the option for a FEMALE BODY!!!! It's hard to pinpoint my ovaries on a dude's outline!

Too many charges. I downloaded this app because on another review I read from the company that you can get full access to the added features for only $2.99. That turned out not to be true, as there is an added charge for every little thing you want to actually use. Also, you can only add three custom pain categories at a cost of .99. And everything is color coded or has a silly graphic attached. It would be more useful if the user were able to actually name their most common symptoms to track. Stupid app.

Poor reporting. Purchased the app to record and monitor what I think are chronic overlapping pain conditions. The app does not give good visibility of results of data entered. Not worth using. Better off just using iPhone Notes. Deleted.

Decent. Only allows certain number of entries before you have to pay. Doesn’t really work on someone with fibro, and numerous auto-immune issues. Allows you to pinpoint your areas

Needs export function. Does exactly what I want it to do but needs a way to export so I can send a report to my Doctor
