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. [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.
3. [R65] 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.
4. [R77] Medisafe Medication Management 5/5 · US Great app: I have been looking for a medicine tracker to keep track of my medication that has reminders for refills. Also that keeps track of how many doses I have and when I get low. When to take my medication to ensure I don’t miss a dose and I have found this app to be fantastic and very helpful. I would recommend this app for anyone
5. [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
6. [R36] Pill Reminder 3/5 · US Good app…but: I really like this pill reminder app, just wish they would fix it so that when you have to change the amount/time/days that a medicine is changing to, it wouldn’t change all the previous days. Sometimes a doctor will change the amount and times a med is to be taken. But you want to keep the info, as it was, before the change. Also, please add more options to the pill icons. For us O
7. [R84] 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
8. [R1] Pill Reminder 1/5 · US What Happened?: My app stopped working and I am at a loss without it. Please help me.
9. [R43] Pill Reminder 1/5 · US Not reliable: After 3 months of using this app it deleted all my notes and history of medication I had taken.
10. [R70] 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.
11. [R120] Medisafe Medication Management 3/5 · US Notification bugs?: Love the app, but the notification system has issues. Previously it worked fine, but now it is not in sync with my “buddy”. I receive notifications that meds were not taken, when they were and the app was toggled. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling which didn’t help. Hoping for a fix or we need to find something else.
12. [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.
13. [R88] 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.
14. [R100] 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.
15. [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.
16. [R119] Medisafe Medication Management 5/5 · US Use it every day: I am a physician retired after >50 years in practice. I rely on Medisafe personally and highly recommend it to others.
