1. [R1] 5/5 · US Superb app!!!: Whoever created this app really thought a lot of details through. It must’ve been very familiar with the need for it.
2. [R4] 5/5 · US Simple and effective: Still works. I never forget to take my meds.
3. [R6] 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
4. [R10] 5/5 · US That senior moment: As I age I find it harder to remember my medications, especially as I get more and more added. Have not missed a medication since I started using this app. I appreciate the fact that the full version is not expensive. Thank you developers.
5. [R16] 5/5 · US This is the Best Medication Reminder and Tracker: I recently came home from surgery and had a long long list of meds that needed to be taken at different intervals. This app was a lifesaver and exactly what I needed! You put in all of your medications in one section and then set the schedule for each medication. You get an alert when you need to take your pills and move on with recovery. Thank yo
6. [R18] 5/5 · US Life saver: I had to manage eye drops in 2 eyes at different intervals for 4 weeks while taking 2 other prescriptions. Really was great to get reminders with correct timing.
7. [R29] 5/5 · US Perfect for Cancer patients: This app is a comprehensive and easy to use tool for patients juggling with numerous medications. It gives you the ability to put medications on the schedule as prescribed by your doctor. Some medications are 2 times daily and some are Monday, Wednesday, Friday. It reminds you to get refills. You also can put the shape and color of the med and any numbers or markings f
8. [R39] 5/5 · US Does Just What I Need: This app is exactly what I was looking for. It doesn't require an account. It doesn't require registration. All the data is stored locally and is backed up with the rest of the local data. It just works. Right now I'm a patient in a hospital. Several of the medications say take every "so many" hours, so whenever I take the medication, I have to wait that many hours until
9. [R40] 5/5 · US Simple, reminds and no subscription: Thank you for charging one small fee for a product and not a nuisance subscription. Its simple, lets me enter all my medications with start and end dates. I also like that it keeps reminding me to take it when I miss it the first few times.
10. [R44] 5/5 · US Works as advertised: Simple, clean and reliable. Well worth the price!
11. [R12] 5/5 · US Not just meds: This app, is not only good for meds but also as a reminder of things to ingest at a frequent rate e.g. water daily and supplements as well. A good product.
12. [R9] 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
13. [R11] 5/5 · US Great app!: Tried this out after medisafe forced a subscription. As they say things happen for a reason and I am glad it did. Great app and it actually works, reminders, medication info, etc. Keep up the great work!
14. [R42] 5/5 · US Jude: Very useful- really helps when you keep your various pills in a separated pill box & you drop it & all the pill’s get mixed up!
15. [R20] 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
16. [R22] 5/5 · US Great App: I have had the free version for years. Even as a nurse I need help with compliance. My only issue is if I want to do more than two meds, I need to pay. I make it work. My phone vibrates. The notifications keep coming for about an hour. Helps a lot.
17. [R64] 3/5 · US Free Version limited: Free version only lets you log 3 medicines. It’s seemed good, but way too limited.
18. [R2] 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.
19. [R27] 4/5 · US I like but: I’ve been using the app a few years now and like it but I don’t like that with most changes it erases the complete history of that one product. Pls change and keep history.
20. [R34] 4/5 · US Lost history: If you change/adjust schedule of one pills to a different hour , all past history get affected and show the medication as not taken. Changes should affect the future only.
21. [R30] 4/5 · US Apple Watch support: It would be amazing to have Apple Watch support for notifications!!
22. [R52] 4/5 · US It does well: I really like the interface, I even bought the full version, however I spent all the time adding my meds to the iPad version but it won’t translate over to the phone. So I will have two different reminders going off and two separate tracking amongst the devices
23. [R224] 3/5 · US Super helpful, but…: It loses the history when you make a change, say, in frequency. It doesn’t sync between devices.
24. [R307] 3/5 · GB Need to be able to sync: This is a very user friendly app - but a desperate hole in that it doesn’t sync across devices - please fix this and it would be perfect.. I can’t put in all that information separately.... surely an easy fix? Would happily pay more to get this.
25. [R98] 2/5 · US Doesn’t like time changes: this is the first time that I have traveled out of state since downloading this app. Completely choked and is moving reminders to the following day and at the wrong times. Now I’m going to have to find a new app and re-set up all my medication’s. I’ve been thrilled with the app since I downloaded it a year ago. But now it has completely messed up my medication’s at a tim
26. [R114] 1/5 · US Time warp!: I purchased the full version of this app hoping it would fix the one issue I have with it. I’ve been using this for a couple years and it has always been reliable, except when traveling, it does not adjust to a different time zone, which is a problem as I travel so much throughout the world. I wrote to the app developer and they acknowledged they know about the problem, but they never
27. [R172] 1/5 · US No time zone support: I'm not sure why no pill reminder apps can handle time zone changes but so far I've tried literally dozens of apps and only two so far support time zone changes. Not sure why there seems to be some assumption that I only want notifications in one time zone ever but apparently no one that uses these apps ever travels outside of their home time zone.
28. [R69] 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
29. [R75] 3/5 · US Need updated: If I have five notification l on my screen when I click take now on one all of them disappear from my notification screen. So that is definitely something that needs to be fixed.
30. [R101] 2/5 · US Unreliable: Was loving it but then it started being unreliable. It failed to show all meds due at a certain tike causing me to miss those doses. This happened with more than one medication. In addition, the navigation is very poor. There is no menu. Trying to get back to the list of all medications takes all kinds of trial and error, for example. It has some nice features but missing my medic
31. [R137] 3/5 · US Reminder issue: This is pretty good app, well thought out. But the reminder function has an issue. I scheduled a pill for 3am, when I no longer needed that pill, I removed it from the reminder and it still goes off every night at 3am. I have to shut off my phone at night to stop it. I’ve tried everything to stop it.
32. [R60] 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
33. [R91] 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
34. [R117] 1/5 · US Unintuitive nightmare: I want to enter the name of the medication then schedule reminders. I've used lots of these age the scheduling part is nowhere to be seen. It's not worth my time to drill down to find what should’ve been front and center, but for an incompetent UX design team.
35. [R126] 1/5 · US Difficult: Not easily set up. Just want to track drugs.
36. [R105] 2/5 · US Features suggestions: I previously liked this app until I figured out that keeping track of pill inventory is not working well. If you check off that you’ve taken your med it doesn’t change your numbers of pills on hand. If you tell the app that you’re taking the med 1 minute early, for example (using the ‘Taken’ button) it doesn’t change your inventory. The ONLY way the app adjusts your inventory
37. [R179] 2/5 · US Good except refill reminder not working at all: Also needs a manual refill calculator based on your last RX date, medicare refill interval too. Eg 100 pills every 100 days.
38. [R192] 3/5 · US Great App But…: I put the inventory of my pills into the app upon startup. One of my medications started at 76 “in inventory”. I take one pill per day. I have used the app for three days now, and the inventory still shows 76 pills in inventory. This is happening with all my medications. If I am missing something I would really like to know about it. How can the app tell me when to order a refill
39. [R280] 3/5 · GB Fantastic app however: Inaccurate pills counting. This app is very useful, with all the reminder options available to set so that you don't forget when the pills should be taken
40. [R66] 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.
41. [R23] 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
42. [R15] 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.
43. [R135] 3/5 · US Not good for OTCs: I’m so confused while trying to use app with Advil for instance. I have a every x (6) hours reminder set. I don’t want to go longer than 6 hours but occasionally I need it at 4 hours. The app doesn’t seem like it can figure out to go 6 hours from the updated taken time.
44. [R157] 1/5 · US Need to add simple custom hour/ day reminder feature: I need to take a med every 36 hours. Yet this app has no reminder setting for this! Should be simple
45. [R26] 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
46. [R50] 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
47. [R81] 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.
48. [R103] 3/5 · US Paywall: Paywall
49. [R328] 3/5 · GB Cannot recommend to anyone with multiple Apple devices: This app ticks all boxes except the fact that people increasingly have an iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch; and expect their data to silently sync across all so they can pick up any device and work. Had I known this limitation I would have looked for another app that does, so and my advice is to move on if you’ll want to sync your data. If tha
50. [R276] 3/5 · GB Deleting records: I really like this App, it’s great with the reminding. However, I am seriously thinking of using a different one. Any changes to reminders etc changes all previous entries too, even if you run a report. So I had a medication I was taking twice a day, now only once. So I changed it and all my previous records only show the once - the second dose I had been taking has gone. Also, i
