1. [R6] 5/5 · US Best APP!!: I’ve been on this app for at least 10 years. Has kept me honest with my birth control. When I trying to get pregnant, it was easy to depict when I got pregnant. I’ve always used the free version! Very user-friendly !10/10 recommend!
2. [R7] 5/5 · US Love it: Keeps me on track
3. [R12] 5/5 · US Love it!: It’s very helpful.
4. [R14] 5/5 · US NuvaRing: This app makes it so easy for me to remember to insert and removed my birth control ring!! It was awesome when I first stitched from Mirena IUD to the ring because I was able to track my symptoms and understand my period again.
5. [R8] 5/5 · US i love this app!!: it’s so easy to use and i really recommend this app!
6. [R10] 2/5 · US Easy app but not worth: The app is simple and and has a nice theme to it. I would enjoy using it a whole lot more if I could change the amount of pills in my pack without having to spend money. That’s just greed and taking advantage of users who don’t take a typical 21 day pack or continue on packs without a break or in my case since I breastfeed, a mini pill that doesn’t have placebos or breaks.
7. [R51] 4/5 · US Wish I could give it a full five 🥴: This app is awesome. I’m on the pill so I love how it has a pill pack to show when you’ve taken one or missed like the real life thing! It’s super cute and easy to use. However, the reason I couldn’t give it a five is because the feature to change my pill pack to a 28 day one is a feature I have to pay for. I don’t think that should be the case. Reason being, be
8. [R30] 5/5 · US Awesome: I love this app. It is easy to use and comforting with a lot of support. Keeps me updated and on track.
9. [R33] 1/5 · US Amazing App: If I knew about this app sooner I would have gotten it. Super informative you have a group of females that are super nice and help out and answer your questions. I am really interested on what other have to say about the pill. This app is helpful
10. [R72] 5/5 · US Yes: This app is great it helps me when I forget about my pill and there are other people on here that I can talk to that can relate to me and my symptoms.😁😁
11. [R87] 5/5 · US Pill Reminder: The purpose of this app is to remind you when to take your pill. It also has a community where you can chat, share and discuss with other users.
12. [R11] 1/5 · US Love the app but…: I love this app don’t get me wrong I have never missed a pill since I had this app since 2019. I have been a premium member since 2019 and love being able to add notes, doctors appts, etc. I’m having an issue now when I try to add new symptoms the app immediately closes. I can’t add new notes it just force closes. I don’t know why this is happening. I will update my review when
13. [R20] 2/5 · US Somethings ok, other stuff pretty awful: There are some features that are alright, and other features that I feel are a complete joke and set up terribly. If you are looking for a calendar/symptom tracker/reminder app, it does the job just fine. I do like the symptom tracker and notes. It does include a lot of birth control forms too, so that’s nice. On the other hand, the forum between users is a
14. [R31] 3/5 · US Just an ok app: It does it’s job of reminding me to take my pills and I can track my period with it but it doesn’t connect to my health app. I can also track my water intake with it but again it doesn’t save to my health app and I’m not sure how to go back and look at it after the day is over. I’ll keep the app because I paid for it but to me it’s not worth it 🤷‍♀️
15. [R2] 1/5 · US Had to delete after years of use: I have loved and used this app since I was a teenager and loved the features accessible to me. Unfortunately, the features that made the app function well and serve its purpose have now been placed behind a paywall (note: it happened after roe v wade was overturned, thus using exploitative consequences to force profit). It’s extremely disappointing that the app pr
16. [R5] 1/5 · US Why a subscription: I’ve been using this app for a bout a year and now there’s a subscription, I can’t even say I use my placebos without paying money I just can’t please revert it
17. [R9] 2/5 · US Not Free: Very limited features without paying.
18. [R4] 3/5 · US Needs update! Problems/bug!!: When I switch to a new month for some reason it won’t let me press the pill as taken, which makes the alarm go off forever. It seems to resolve after the next day (hopefully) but no matter what I do it will not allow me to press the taken pill button. I’m open and close the app and everything and still it’s not working. Please update and fig these bugs!! Yes, I’ve
19. [R25] 1/5 · US App loses track of pills taken: This was my last time trying this app. The reminder will go off and I’ll mark a pill as “taken” then 5 min later the alarm goes off AGAIN and I open the app and it shows the pill was taken but the reminder will keep going off… why? Then the next day I’ll go in and it’ll show I missed 1-3 days of pills. I didn’t… Every pill has been taken and logged on time. I’ve dow
20. [R42] 2/5 · US Used to be great: I’ve been a long time user of myPill, but I have decided to uninstall this today. It’s been telling me that I’ve missed my pill and that I am unprotected, even though I’ve been marking it as “pill taken” on time. The reminder also keeps on popping up/ringing even after I’ve marked it as taken sometimes. It just did it again as I was typing this review! I thought that it will jus
21. [R48] 2/5 · US Doesn’t always work: I bought the paid version so I could have 2 reminders Incase I was at work, but often when I hit “pill taken” I will keep getting notifications telling me to take my pill. I even tried going in and deleting that I took the pill and re-entering it, but nothing seems to work. It happens 2-3x a week. It’s annoying to get notifications every 20 minutes for 3 hours for no reason.
22. [R68] 1/5 · US Would be a good app if it saved my settings.: I take the mini pill, so I don’t have any break days. No matter how many times I change and save the settings, it keeps reverting back to 21 days active and 7 break days. I would really enjoy it otherwise but unfortunately I need to stop using it for this reason.
23. [R73] 2/5 · US Good but faulty: No matter how many times I change the settings, it keeps reverting back to 21 active days with a break. I don’t have a break period and not getting the notification is annoying.
24. [R80] 2/5 · US Ehh...: Pretty good app but I don’t like that the pack size is a “premium feature” I like how you can see how many pills are left in your pack, but it’s an inaccurate count because I can’t enter how many pills I have without paying for that feature. Most likely will switch to another app because of this.
25. [R3] 1/5 · US No longer works: I’ve been using this app for years to track my birth control and now it no longer opens and just keeps crashing
26. [R17] 3/5 · US Selections need to be updated: iPhone 12 my drop down boxes are in the extreme bottom right corner. It is almost completely off the screen. This could use some updates.
27. [R32] 1/5 · US LOTS of issues: App is constantly crashing. I could be typing out a comment or a post and the app will close. Moderators take way too long to take down an offensive post/comment or ban rude users. They will ban people who call out racism on the app though. Do better.
28. [R13] 1/5 · US Not worth the price paid: I have a reminder set for 3:30pm in my correct time zone. For whatever reason it notifies me at 3:00!! This isn’t the correct time. I paid $13.99 for the app and I wish it worked properly.
29. [R16] 1/5 · US stole my money: i’ve paid for a subscription TWICE and it still says the same thing. “Error”. supposedly it’s a wifi issue but i paid and it’s still ongoing just for it to keep saying error. this is a scam. I’ve contacted the company and no response.
30. [R23] 2/5 · US Major subscription issues for over a year now: I really loved this app when I first started using it. I even signed up for the monthly subscription cause it was super cheap and why not!! However about a year later I started experiencing issues with the app. I would go on the app and it would tell me to purchase the premium membership almost every time. Then other times it would work as normal, con
31. [R26] 1/5 · US Sketchy As Heck: Stay away! Install at your own risk! I really liked this app for like 2 days until I opened up my email to see I somehow purchased a “Premium Membership” upgrade. I never even KNEW there was a premium membership until I was charged for it. There was NO checkout screen, password/fingerprint purchase confirmation, NOTHING indicating somehow I was about to buy an upgrade. After bei
32. [R28] 1/5 · US Rest of the app is good forums are horrible and one sided: Warning to all conservatives, if you have a differing opinion you will be called a slew of names and shut out , DO NOT GET THIS APP
33. [R52] 1/5 · US Horrible customer service/app: The app is horrible. The moderators of the forum are racist, sexist, and immature. They will suspend you or ban you for pointing out flaws on the app, which people are paying to use. They allow people to be hateful on the forum with no consequence but the minute you say something to them about not moderating the hateful comments they ban you. They constantly tell you
34. [R1] 5/5 · US Love it/needs updated to all birth control: But why is there not all birth control on the app cause I have the arm implant and it’s not on the selection list for which birth control the person has ……. It has all tha I heard of except the arm implant birth control for got the name of the arm implant birth control at all 💯
35. [R29] 1/5 · US Missing BC options: I wanted you use this app to put notes as it states but it does not list nexplanon. So this app is not helpful if you are on that BC.
36. [R56] 1/5 · US Horrible updates: I loved this app. This was one of the only easy to use apps for someone on birth control. I recently switched over to an IUD and I loved that this app was also compatible with that. Although, out of no where it started limiting my options, changed the date of when I need it replaced and lost all of my data. I have tried to reinstall with my backed up data, it doesn’t work. I am n
37. [R393] 3/5 · GB Good but could be better: This app is good, however, my brand of pill was missing from the last. You also have to buy the app to be able to change the reminders to suit your pill which has resulted in me missing my pill.
38. [R39] 4/5 · US Works great but doesn’t communicate with Apple Watch: Works great! My only complaint is that the watch app doesn’t communicate with the iPhone app. I will mark a pill as taken and the watch app still sends a reminder.
39. [R69] 1/5 · US Does not work with my Apple Watch: When it alerts me on the watch I mark my pill as taken there. Out of the last 5 days, 4 have been registered on the phone app. My phone is in range. Edit: Now it’s also to not work with push notifications on my phone. 😓 If it doesn’t work tracking my history of taking my pill it’s not doing its job. After years with “MyPill,” I’ve found “Pill Reminder” works wi
40. [R77] 5/5 · US Suggestion: Great app! I love all of the various features. But I wish there was an Apple Watch feature, instead of only notifications. It would be cool if there was a symbol for the watch, and when you tap it, it comes up with your pill container or something.
41. [R78] 4/5 · US Update??: Wish it was available on Apple Watch
42. [R45] 1/5 · US Disappointed: I’ve been using this app for almost a year, it had been great until last night, my payment was deducted and all of a sudden its asking me to upgrade, but I’m already paying. I think for some reason it’s not noticing that I just paid. I’ve contacted support and no response. Taking my money and not giving me my service ... so disappointing
43. [R34] 1/5 · US Yikes: The app may be useful-ish, my actual main reason for deleting this app is while reading reviews the developers response to someone questioning whether it was worth $14 premium charge was “well our developers need to eat!” And then proceeded to explain why all free apps are crap etc, who runs your PR? Seems like you need to hire a professional for your communications. I don’t want to support
44. [R70] 5/5 · US Very useful: I love this app it’s very helpful. The fact people are upset about the developers being sassy is odd to me. I think it’s funny. It’s true they need to get money to make the app, fix it, and survive. Can we stop being so offended all the time.
45. [R88] 1/5 · US Developer response (edited): Y’all I downloaded the app just so I could write this review. As a potential downloader, I checked the reviews. Any bad review and the developer response is very snarky/passive aggressive. Hun don’t add an emoji at the end if you’re just being rude. A kissy face doesn’t hide your clear inability to accept a bad review. This is a place for people to share their OPINION
46. [R19] 5/5 · US Very Prompt: No issues with anything very clear notifications to take the pill and lets users specify the date for starting a pill pack.
47. [R44] 4/5 · US Yes, developers gotta eat... but I need to be able to take my pills.: I have pretty severe ADHD, which I help manage in part with medications including the pill. This app was great, because I could name my reminder whatever I wanted, and it gave me multiple reminders to take my pill so even if I impulsively swept up on the notification, another would be ready after a set increment of time. The p
