Letting MigraineMe use your location for weather

Do not worry, this is short. MigraineMe needs to know roughly where you are so it can check the weather around you. We keep only one location point per day, we do not share your location with anyone, and you can turn this off at any time.

This is a one-time setup.

Why we need it

Weather changes from town to town. A storm passing through one city is not passing through another. So MigraineMe asks your phone for your location, then asks the weather service "what is the weather here?". That is all.

On iPhone

Step 1: Open MigraineMe

1. Find the MigraineMe icon on your home screen.
2. Tap it to open the app.

Step 2: When the question appears

The first time the app needs your location, your iPhone will pop up a small grey window. It says something like "Allow MigraineMe to use your location?".

1. Tap Allow While Using App. This is the safe choice.
2. If you would rather, you can also tap Allow Once, but you will be asked again later.

If you tapped Don't Allow by mistake

You can change your mind any time.

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone (grey gear icon).
2. Scroll down and tap MigraineMe.
3. Tap Location.
4. Tap While Using the App.

That is it.

On Android

Step 1: Open MigraineMe

1. Find the MigraineMe icon on your home screen.
2. Tap it.

Step 2: When the question appears

The first time the app needs your location, Android will pop up a small window. It says something like "Allow MigraineMe to access this device's location?".

1. Tap While using the app. This is the safe choice.
2. If you tap Only this time, the question will come back later.

If you tapped Don't allow by mistake

1. Open the Settings app on your phone.
2. Tap Apps.
3. Find MigraineMe in the list and tap it.
4. Tap Permissions.
5. Tap Location.
6. Tap Allow only while using the app.

Checking that it worked

1. Open MigraineMe.
2. Tap the Monitor tab.
3. Scroll to the Environment card and tap it.
4. You should see Today's Weather with your local conditions. Premium users also get the 7-day weather forecast here.

If the app tells you location is needed, go back through the steps above.

If the weather still does not appear

1. Make sure your phone has internet (wifi or mobile data).
2. Give it a little while. The weather is checked roughly once an hour.
3. Close the app fully and open it again.

What we do not do

1. We do not follow your movements through the day. The app keeps one location point per day in your account.
2. We do not save your address.
3. We do not share your location with anyone.

Your location is only used to ask the weather service the right question for the area you are in, and to notice big changes in altitude when you travel.

A gentle reminder

If you would rather not share your location at all, that is fine. Open the gear icon top-left, tap Data and Notifications, expand the Environment section, and switch off Location and the weather rows (Temperature, Pressure, Humidity, Wind, UV index, Thunderstorms, Pollen, Air quality). MigraineMe will simply work without weather.
