  1. [R1] 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 ?
  2. [R2] 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
  3. [R5] Pill Reminder MyTherapy 4/5 · US Works Well: Convenient way to track multiple drugs. If you have a need to be reminded of several medications during the day this is the way to do it. It can be very powerful helping to remind you of your inventory. It is free
  4. [R8] Pill Reminder MyTherapy 4/5 · US Effective app: For some reason this is the one app that gets me to do my medication logs, mood/symptom checks, etc. The biggest problem I have with it is that it’s ugly but that’s personal preference. It would also be nice to be able to do custom activity names, which seems like it would be pretty easy to implement. Or maybe it just needs to be more apparent if it’s there already.
  5. [R7] Pill Reminder MyTherapy 1/5 · US Unusable: Can’t edit anything
  6. [R10] Pill Reminder MyTherapy 1/5 · US Med schedule changes shuts down app: Can no longer edit dose times via Treatment > Medication schedule. Any attempt to change the time shuts down the app.
  7. [R11] Pill Reminder MyTherapy 5/5 · US Very helpful: I was originally looking for a way to easily track mood shifts as well as the meds I take. In my search I found this. It’s been super helpful just for the meds part. Easy to configure and provides excellent reminders.
  8. [R3] 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.
  9. [R4] 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.
  10. [R6] Pill Reminder MyTherapy 3/5 · US Okay but not perfect: I only get one reminder sound a day when I have it set for two. It’s not very reliable.
  11. [R9] Pill Reminder MyTherapy 3/5 · US Random Reminder: I like the app but my reminders constantly randomly stop working. It’s not consistent, so I can’t rely on it.
  12. [R12] Pill Reminder MyTherapy 3/5 · US Paid subscription still get occasional ads: I pay $25 a year for no ads. But yet occasionally will get an ad. Kinda defeats the purpose of paying.
  13. [R15] Pill Reminder MyTherapy 3/5 · US Was great then….: They added ads. I get it, these things cost money to develop but the ads are pervasive, to me at least. But for tracking meds it’s great. Just hate the ads now.
  14. [R16] Pill Reminder MyTherapy 2/5 · US Ads: Too many intrusive ads.
  15. [R39] Pill Reminder MyTherapy 3/5 · GB Good app, doesn’t track quantities well: I have been using the app for a few months to track quantities of several medications which are either taken daily/twice daily or as needed, so occasional use. I noticed the quantity of a few didn’t always match the actual numbers and it’s only me who is here. It kept happening, I kept a note and still it happens, a difference of 1 to 6 in a short time of
  16. [R45] Pill Reminder MyTherapy 3/5 · GB Fantastic App, u must get!!: Recordsa all meds & creates times & units & u can produce a report at the end of month to give to GP/Specialist. Highly recommend & team that works on it, always helpful. Can get stuck & some conditions not included
  17. [R84] PocketRx 3/5 · US Okay app, but….: I like the convenience of the app, but it is difficult to perform certain things in the app. It is difficult to delete previously used addresses and to try to get technical help. My account has an e-mail address associated with it, but when I try to request technical help, the app says that I need to have an e-mail account associated with it. So, no bueno!
  18. [R106] PocketRx 2/5 · US Onboarding is difficult: Account creation when using a password manager is frustrating and rather broken. I can’t generate a password within the password field, the password requirements are unclear, and unstated until after you make an attempt at generating one. No way to link the account to the password manager. Please adopt best practices for account generation and password generation. I also
  19. [R32] Pill Reminder MyTherapy 5/5 · US Great app: This app allows me to log my mood, make sure I took my medicine, and print out a report at the end of the month of all that was tracked. It’s an amazing app and the functionality of it all is amazing!
  20. [R44] Pill Reminder MyTherapy 5/5 · US Love: It really helps me stay on track with taking my meds and tracking my emotions when on them. Love this app!
  21. [R27] Pill Reminder MyTherapy 3/5 · GB Unannounced ads added: UPDATE: Telling your loyal users it was happening is the issue here. As mentioned would have happily paid but poor communication in this instance. Now using Apple Health. PREVIOUS: Used the app for several years and was beta tester for a while. Went to record my meds this evening and an ad popped up. Would have happily paid but no announcement poor customer service. Apple
  22. [R63] PocketRx 3/5 · US All prescriptions ordered don’t go through!: I have had several times when I reordered 2 or 3 different prescriptions and only one gets ordered. The app says 3 prescriptions are being sent to the pharmacy, but not all go through. Frustrating!
  23. [R66] PocketRx 3/5 · US Disappointed now: I have loved the app. But the last couple of prescriptions I have ordered on this app didn’t get to my pharmacist at Michael’s RX corner in Lovington nm. So I have to call now and make sure they refill my prescription.
  24. [R67] PocketRx 1/5 · US WAY Too Many Issues: This thing is just awful. I need to re-choose my pharmacy every time. Most times it won’t take my refill requests for some reason or another. I call the pharmacy and use their automated system, works 1st time.
  25. [R81] PocketRx 3/5 · US Multiple error messages: Every month I have to cross my fingers and hope my medication requests go thru. Most of the time, when I am requesting refills, a red box pops up saying “internal server error”. Using the app is not convenient if it doesn’t work. It might be faster to call the pharmacy and request refills by phone. If the glitches could be fixed then it would be a solid 5 stars.
  26. [R76] PocketRx 2/5 · US Tracking: You’re unble to track when/if the meds are taken.
