  1. [R2] 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
  2. [R5] 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.
  3. [R8] 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
  4. [R9] Medisafe Medication Management 3/5 · US Reminder sound: Reminder sound not loud enough. Would be more effective if alerts were continuous until user responds. Or provide that option.
  5. [R1] Medisafe Medication Management 2/5 · US Unable to edit: Once a med is entered and saved it is not possible to change the times of dose. The drop down edit menu does not have many options. Cataract surgery eye drop reminders are not recommended with this app. The three ocular drop meds are combined into one bottle now. It is not offered in the selections of eye drop drugs. The drops for each eye overlap as they start within two weeks of
  6. [R18] Medisafe Medication Management 3/5 · US Option to zoom pill icons: Pill icon is small and status on the pill is unreadable. Allow to zoom or make the pills with status larger. Test with those using reading glasses.
  7. [R20] Medisafe Medication Management 5/5 · US Perfect for Seniors: Perfect for this 74 year old. Recently I had a spinal fusion surgery and am taking the over twenty pills I take daily. Additionally the meds I take cause memory loss, Having both my wife and myself monitoring everything assures me I will get the meds on time. 100% love this app.
  8. [R3] Medisafe Medication Management 3/5 · US Not connecting to watch: Message on watch says connection not reachable. Was working. Checked everything on watch and phone, updates, etc. It’s a must have for me.
  9. [R10] Medisafe Medication Management 1/5 · US Was very useful but not now: I have used the app for years and now it crashes all the time. It takes up to 30 attempts to open it. Contacted them and zero fixes but they told me they would fix it.
  10. [R12] Medisafe Medication Management 3/5 · US Stopped syncing: This app I was worked great until about a couple years ago and no matter what I do it Will not sync correctly with my Apple Watch. It shows medicine that I no longer take. And the ones that I do take if I put I take them it does not sync it to my Medisafe on my iPhone.
  11. [R4] 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
  12. [R6] Medisafe Medication Management 3/5 · US Not terribly impressed: This works fine for what functions it does offer. But I feel like a big thing that’s missing is the ability to set medications for certain hourly intervals. Like if I take Tylenol at 1, I should be able to automatically set the app to remind me to take it at 7/after 6 hours
  13. [R14] Medisafe Medication Management 5/5 · US Hemiplegics Migraines?: Hi there! I have hemiplegic migraines, which are stroke mimicking migraines. I notice you do lots of informational articles on your app, I was just reading one on when someone should go to the ER for a migraine. I saw you mention stroke, but nothing about aura, only headache. I think it’s important to educate people on the very real,and less uncommon than you may think, str
  14. [R15] Medisafe Medication Management 3/5 · US Need to be able to edit dosage when using mg/ml: When trying to add new medications and edit their strength, we need a better editing tool in the mg/ml feature. As of right now there is no way to dictate if the dosage is something like “4mg(5ml)” because the only option is to enter numbers and periods when editing the strength, there is no ability to add a dash (/) in order to show what the actual
  15. [R28] Medisafe Medication Management 1/5 · US Too difficult now: I’ve used this app for several years - it was free and very helpful and relatively simple. Now it costs $60 yr, and I can’t even navigate your transition. Very sad to lose this reminder.
  16. [R39] Medisafe Medication Management 3/5 · US Needs subscription: This used to be free to use but now needs a subscription. Other downsides include that the Ui is not that intuitive, especially going back to do a dose that is say weekly but you took on a diffeeent day.
  17. [R40] Medisafe Medication Management 1/5 · US Paid: How exactly is it fair that this app is paid only now? We can’t even access our data to have the option to leave because this big notification that requires payment shows up when trying to open the app. I’m not paying you to set a reminder for my medication. This app is trash to me now.
  18. [R48] Medisafe Medication Management 3/5 · US Strange way: Since the beginning of December You keep sending notifications about paid subscription as of 1.1.2026 but you don’t say a word how much it will be. The move has a very unpleasant feel. I read all the lengthy terms - no mention of fee! It feels like a scam. You request my apply password which is a breach of security. Will you please inform us properly so users can decide what to do.
  19. [R27] Medisafe Medication Management 3/5 · US App is great, tiny caveat (UX): Sponsored section (For You) took over my app and blasted me with HIV information because of a previous Truvada prescription for about a month; very invasive and unnecessary. App is selling data; not sure how much of it is privacy protected but would not put anything that's personally identifying in here. Opt-out is not obvious but possible. App works great otherwise
  20. [R31] Medisafe Medication Management 1/5 · US If you like your data being illegally sold…: You’ll love Medisafe!
  21. [R36] Medisafe Medication Management 3/5 · US Used to love it: I’m about ready to uninstall this app. It has so much bloat of unnecessary stuff. And lately, every time I open it, it is on a tab with stuff about HIV meds which I don’t take, and not my pill box. I already switched my partner to a different, simple app. I wanted to keep mine on this so I could identify the different ring tones. There is only one thing this app does sligh
  22. [R65] NimbleRx 5/5 · US Convenient: It’s so convenient for me. I’ve used other pharmacies and I’ve had so many problems so many problems but with this Pharmacy, it’s in easy, convenient, and it even delivers to my home. I can even pay over the phone when they bring my medications. It’s a win-win for me.
  23. [R94] NimbleRx 5/5 · US To all the employees: Ever since I have found them, I am so grateful with them. They come out their way to bring me my medication. They’re always there for me when I need to talk to him about something. They are the best pharmacy that I ever found.
  24. [R95] NimbleRx 5/5 · US Excelente servicio: Me encanta llega bien el medicamento
  25. [R102] NimbleRx 5/5 · US Easy: This app makes ordering my RX easy. Pick up or delivery
  26. [R24] Medisafe Medication Management 3/5 · US Great app, but there are glitches right now.: I depend on this app multiple times a day to keep track of the many meds I’m required to take. This app helps me organize, document, and keep track of everything. Unfortunately, right now there is a glitch where the Home Screen continuously blanks out and has to reset itself numerous times before finally bringing up the page to view. But as soon as yo
  27. [R32] Medisafe Medication Management 5/5 · US Super app: I have been using Medisafe for a couple years. I have been very pleased with the performance up until recently. It is now hard to open to open, and keep open. I just updated to IOS 26.5. Now I can’t get it over at all help!
