1. [R4] Pill Reminder 1/5 · US “Free” version is 100% useless: You can only add 2 reminders for medication in “free” at which you are notified you have to pay 1.99 to add more/unlimited. This was a waste of time - 9/10 if you only have 2 meds to take you likely done need a reminder. I have 10 pills , an ointment & an injection to take - what use it 2 reminders for only- none. I like that they had the names and dosage in the app
2. [R10] Pill Reminder 1/5 · US Booo😡: I hate this app literally the reminders are getting on my nerves he won’t even let me put in my other pills Like what is that
3. [R21] Pill Reminder 3/5 · US Free Version limited: Free version only lets you log 3 medicines. It’s seemed good, but way too limited.
4. [R40] Pill Reminder 1/5 · US WASTES YOUR TIME: I downloaded the app to log in my long list of meds I will need to take daily in the future for after my surgery… it let me log every med until I started to set reminders and then.. it said finally “you can not set anymore medication reminders” because the max is 2. It’s just a trap to get u to pay. Don’t download this app thinking it’s free.
5. [R3] Pill Reminder 3/5 · US Helpful: I use the app as a reminder and tracker. However if I try and adjust the time (as when I travel) it erases the history.
6. [R11] Pill Reminder 5/5 · US Life Saver: I’m at a stage in life where I don’t remember whether or when I took my medication last and what time I should be taking the next dose. This app solves the guesswork and the app keeps track and reminds me when the next dose is due. The only thing I would change is when I need to change the scheduled time of a medication, all previous information of taking the medication is deleted
7. [R12] Pill Reminder 3/5 · US Very customizable and intuitive: I like iOS Health but just wanted a better way without iOS intrusion. This works nicely for multiple users. I learned this immediately. Just a good 5 star experience app. I don’t get many. One flaw based on using it for us is to have the history deleted when changing the reminder. Why would you even want to do that ?? It ruins the history and renders it useless.
8. [R27] Pill Reminder 3/5 · US Works great, but one issue.: Works great for reminders. Only issue I have is that if my medication changes I can’t stop that reminder unless I want to delete it and if I do that it gets rid of all my history. Very frustrating!! Should be able to take off reminder but still keep history of medication amount, etc. changes.
9. [R1] Pill Reminder 1/5 · US What Happened?: My app stopped working and I am at a loss without it. Please help me.
10. [R6] Pill Reminder 3/5 · US WHAT HAPPENED???: I have used this app for meds for more than TEN years, without any issues, until today… Everything in the App except for my name, in is now ALL in SPANISH! I took Spanish in Junior High in 1964, and now 62 years later, I don’t recall SQUAT in Spanish. And I can NOT find any place, anywhere, in the App, where I can change it back to English! I thrilled that Apps like t
11. [R7] Pill Reminder 1/5 · US Locked Up My Phone: I downloaded this app and when I opened it, there was a pop up that asked me to allow urgent notifications or something like that and no matter what I pressed nothing would happen. I lock my phone screen and open it and the pop up is still there. I had to force shut down my brand new phone to get it working again.
12. [R16] Pill Reminder 1/5 · US Disappointed with alarm notification sound: Regardless of the volume settings on your phone the alarm sound is so faint you dont hear it.
13. [R13] Pill Reminder 1/5 · US Not flexible: To rigid won’t accept over-the-counter or supplement medication.
14. [R18] Pill Reminder 3/5 · US Not very good at keeping track of continuous glucose monitors and all the stuff that goes with them.: I have a continuous glucose monitors and I had trouble setting that up. First of all, there’s no “medicine” in it, so when the app asks me for a dosage, what should I say? Second of all, I order it on the first of the month, which gives me some time to find a ride to the drugstore before I put i
15. [R35] Pill Reminder 4/5 · US Needs additional options: Everything was looking good. Entered meds. Would have liked specific item line for why taking med, ie blood pressure, nausia, etc. Set up Reminder and found I was limited to daily reminders. I need an every 3 day or 72 hour reminder, an every 1 week and an every 2 week reminder. App is useless to me if I can't put all my med reminders in. App has potential tho.
16. [R9] Pill Reminder 3/5 · US It was great before this terrible update: Why do I make the mistake of updating apps??? Now I have to click through to “more” and scroll a menu every time I take an “as-needed” medication? What an irritating extra step! If you are going to hide half the capabilities, why don’t you at least allow a setting so that people can choose what they want to see when they open the app? I have zero need for
17. [R22] Pill Reminder 2/5 · US Was a 6 star app: I paid for this after having it just a couple days, it was that good. The last update is almost a deal breaker. This is a functional app, does not need to be pretty, just easy and familiar. The most used button for me (and I imagine most others) is the “as needed”. Well, it’s gone from the main screen, sad. Replace one of the lesser used buttons with “as needed “ and it would onc
18. [R28] Pill Reminder 2/5 · US Massive Flaw: Starting out, the setup of the app was a bit cumbersome. But I totally get the tediousness of having to enter in a ton of info for every medication. Once the medication list is built, you can setup dosing reminders for each medication. Another cumbersome process, but again, when dealing with a lot of meds I understand the need for a lot of info. Once setup, the reminders display in
19. [R33] Pill Reminder 3/5 · US Overly complicated: I’ve been using the app for years, but making changes is overly complicated. If I want to change the time I take a certain med, it wipes out my history, which is ridiculous. Also, adding a new med means putting details into the medication list, THEN adding reminders to take it in a different section. Also, it would help if the program automatically alphabetized. Instead, I end
20. [R25] Pill Reminder 2/5 · US Privacy Concerns: Honestly the app is amazing and all of the features as well. The reason why I’m rating a 2 and not a 5 is because this app will not allow me to change my photo access settings. It’s a pill reminder app, why does my photos have to be accessed in the first place?
21. [R31] Pill Reminder 2/5 · US I want to like the app even more if I could reach the developer: I tried to reach out to the developer but their contact website is not working. I need help, but there is no support to reach either. I’ll change my review once I’m in touch.
22. [R52] Medisafe Medication Management 5/5 · US app is amazing!: this app is so helpful with keeping all my meds organized! i'm so happy i found it
23. [R55] Medisafe Medication Management 5/5 · US Simple, Reliable, and Easy to Use: Medisafe has been a great medication tracker. The reminders are reliable, the interface is clean and intuitive, and setting up medications takes only a few minutes. It makes it easy to stay consistent with daily supplements and medications without feeling overwhelmed. A well-designed app that does exactly what it promises.
24. [R58] Medisafe Medication Management 5/5 · US This App Literally Saves My Life: Soooo I’m terrible with medication. I hate taking it. I do everything I can to avoid it but I unfortunately was diagnosed with cancer and am now on estrogen blocking medication to prevent the cancer from growing if it is still in my body. I was terrible at taking it consistently and would forget all the time. Multiple days sometimes. Which is bad because then I’m
25. [R61] Medisafe Medication Management 4/5 · US Great app: Wonderful app. Does the reminders very well and it has been extremely helpful. I had to switch to a new device and lost my paid subscription. But it happens. Otherwise it is wonderful even for the Free version of the app.
26. [R66] Birth Control Pill Reminder 5/5 · US Simple and easy to use: Straightforward app. I’ve never missed a day of birth control thanks to it!
27. [R69] Birth Control Pill Reminder 5/5 · US Great!!!!: Has been a lifesaver. Has kept me consistent on changing my patch on time to void any unplanned pregnancy. Gives me a peace of mind.
28. [R71] Birth Control Pill Reminder 5/5 · US Fire: Just makes it so easier, better than my period tracker app at sending notifications.
29. [R73] Birth Control Pill Reminder 5/5 · US awesome: Awesome
30. [R79] Max 2/5 · US Update ruined the app: I have used this app for quite a while for tracking prescriptions. It used to be easy to set up. I went to start a new course of antibiotics and I am unable to figure it out. They have taken an easy to use app that worked perfectly and complicated it.
31. [R80] Max 5/5 · US Adorable program: The phone call reminder is ingenious.
32. [R81] Max 3/5 · US Does exactly what I need BUT system can be slow or buffer: I have a lot of stacked habits that I want to individually track but it can take a while for it to get back to the home page. If I was tracking it for really important stuff I would be a little cautious bc sometimes it freaks out and doesn’t fully work. I would love a fast sharper version exactly like this and would happily pay a little f
33. [R83] Max 5/5 · US The best: I’ve always struggled with taking my meds. This app just makes it so much easier, there is something about the animal noises that make it different than an alarm, and the calling reminder is great.
34. [R93] Pill Reminder MyTherapy 1/5 · US Fish Oil not there ?: Fish oil pills for triglycerides not there and had to be custom if you want it. Really ? Basic stuff and vitamins and supplements missing ?
35. [R94] Pill Reminder MyTherapy 5/5 · US Perfect for every other day meds: I tried to keep track of my medication intake with calendar invites and that was not sustainable and I missed a couple days. Finding this app has been a game changer! I’m able to set the frequency of when I take it, I’m able to set a time and a reminder notification (so I don’t keep forgetting), and I’m able to track my medication inventory so I know when to call
36. [R95] Pill Reminder MyTherapy 3/5 · US good could be better: good app but notifications are inconsistent, some days you get it and some days you don’t.
37. [R96] Pill Reminder MyTherapy 1/5 · US Reminders?: The whole point of this app is to receive reminders but reminders don’t arrive for several days at a time.
38. [R107] myPill® Birth Control Reminder 1/5 · US stupid: Why in the world do I have to pay to change the amount active/placebo pills I take??? That is such a basic thing like what?
39. [R108] myPill® Birth Control Reminder 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 💯
40. [R109] myPill® Birth Control Reminder 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
41. [R110] myPill® Birth Control Reminder 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
42. [R34] Pill Reminder 1/5 · US Does not remind: Two problems: First, You can only set reminders for one day, even on the paid version 😖 Second, it did not remind me on the first reminder Recommendation: I deleted it. Waste of $1.99
43. [R75] Birth Control Pill Reminder 5/5 · US Most basic app: I use this app to track when I need to insert or remove my Nuva Ring birth control and it does exactly that. It is the most basic app, but in a good way. It gets the job done!
44. [R111] myPill® Birth Control Reminder 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!
45. [R86] Max 5/5 · US Wonderful!!: I don't usually write reviews but I wanted to give this app its kudos. I love it!! I struggle with memory issues, and this app has made meditation management so much easier! I personally love the call reminder, I've never seen it in any other app before and it's helped me so much. Thank you max!!!
46. [R89] Max 5/5 · US Fav med reminder: I have to take pills every 1.5 hours and this has been the only app that actually helps me not miss a dose!
47. [R15] Pill Reminder 3/5 · US Nice but missing functionality: Just started using this app and like it. But have to create separate lists of medications for each user. I need a shared list, where I pick and add medication to individual users.
48. [R54] Medisafe Medication Management 2/5 · US Only saves 30 days history: I wish I’d known before I committed to this app that it only stores the last 30 days of history. I’ve been using it to track symptoms and medications for our cat. We showed up at the vet yesterday and found that I couldn’t see the history since the last time we brought him in. There were also a few minor glitches that I was willing to overlook because it had the feature
