Pillboxie for Negative User Reviews
✓ DON'T UPDATE!!!!This was working perfectly before the update, now the welcome screen doesn't work and even after you check the med off the reminder sound still sounds and then I set the remainder sound to OFF and it still sounds!!!!!! Very frustrating now. Please fix or put back the way it was. DON'T UPDATE UNTIL FIXED.Version: 2.3
✓ Alarms quit working, Meds scheduled but don’t show on listAfter using this app for literally years, today it had a major hiccup. Alarms for 9 AM meds quit working. The others all worked. I tried resetting reminders, which looked simple enough, but now most of my meds in the due now list have disappeared. I went back in and rescheduled all of them, but they no longer appear in my due now list. It makes this totally useless for me. I’m terribly frustrated. This went from being the best app for medication reminders to useless just this morning. I’m just sick about this! Wishing there was a fix!!.Version: 2.8.2
✓ Not updated for 2 yearsOld App. No updates.Version: 2.8.2
✓ Not loving the update: fussyThe app has become more complex: I don't find the splitting of doses on the page useful: I can't track my meds at a glance. My previous review: A little gem of an app: like other reviewers, I've found it's easy to set up, a useful reminder and handy when trying to get medication details right away from home..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Has Developer given up on this app?I’ve been using this app for several years now and with each new iteration of iOS it gets harder to use. I have tried at least 5 other types of apps like this and it’s still the most customizable and easy to use in terms of setting up the medications and timing of reminders. But it gets harder to mark things as taken, runs slowly, and often crashes. Please update this app!.Version: 2.8.2
✓ IOS 7 update brokenWon't even open..Version: 2.7
✓ Dangerously brokenI literally put my life in the digital hands of this app. Since IOS7, however, it is dangerously broken. Alarms don't go off, banners don't appear. So good before, so useless now..Version: 2.7.1
✓ Many shortcomingsIf you take 1 dosage say mon,wed, frid, sat and another dosage sun,tues,thurs it doesn't have a way to handle. It doesn't have very many pill shapes to choose from and you must resort to taking pictures. It wouldn't take much effort to significantly increase shape list. I also didn't see anything that dealt with your supply of pills, how many do you have, when are they running out, a reminder to reorder or a list of needed prescriptions for next dr visit. It seems very nice if you are taking small number of meds and you take same amount all the time, but doesn't fit reality as most seniors have a more vigorous med schedule.Version: 2.6
✓ Crashes after last updateWas a great pill reminder, but now it doesn't open and I'm looking to replace it. Would give four or five to it when it worked..Version: 2.7
✓ No way to track supply amountsI really bought this app to help me keep track of my various medications, quite importantly I wanted to be able to tack the amount of meds I have is I could get a reminder when I should order more. Unfortunately this app doesn't appear to be able to do that. Otherwise its a good app..Version: 2.3
✓ Unforgiving if you oversleepEasy to set up but if you sleep past noon, the app will only show you the evening medications. I entered 11:30 for the morning meds because I'm a night owl..Version: 2.8.1
✓ Needs improvementCan’t backup or restore the app so you can’t have the app syncing on multiple devices. This app would be great if you could do this why isn’t this a feature.Version: 2.8.2
✓ Alarm clock does as good a job.This is nothing more than a sophisticated alarm clock that costs a little less than a losing lottery ticket and is just as useful. Won’t be keeping it..Version: 2.8.2
✓ Needs workWould have been nice to see a few more features such as dosage on hand. A reminder to refill when low, warning labels, better descriptions of meds instead of a generic clip art..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Could be dangerous for some usersI loved this app in the beginning. Now, when l take my evening medication it shows that I forgot to take a pill from my morning medication. I know it's an error in the app as I take all 4 pills at once and they're all checked off. Then in the evening it shows l forgot a pill from the morning. Started writing it down to prove to myself I was correct and I was. For this app to be successful you need to correct this as thus could prove deadly to some people..Version: 2.7.1
✓ Please update, debugI’m redownloading for a final try to get banner notice to work. Been using app for years on iPhones. The 1st 2 wks with iPhone X was fine but now the reminder box on home page isn’t connecting with app when “take” or other command clicked. Instead I have to go into app to check off taking med. It used to notify me on Apple Watch but that stopped also with statement “have to open app”. I can easily live without the Watch notification, but the phone problem shouldn’t be happening. Also, would you PLEASE unscrunch the header so the words are visible. Please—this is the best med reminder as it’s short n sweet—quick & easy, simple to set up & use (when working right).Version: 2.8.2
✓ Love... But...I use this app from years ago. But I still think that needs an interval program for occasional medication, like: take this pill for X days, beginning X date and finishing X other day. Please include something like that because not all the medication it's forever..Version: 2.8.2
✓ Easy to useVery easy to use and definitely helpful app. However, I would like to see it updated to allow unplanned medicines to be used. I have asthma, and can't enter occasional use of my inhaler, unless I have a schedule set to it. I would like to be able to look back on the history section and see the frequency and patterns of use..Version: 2.7.1
✓ The best gets better [Updated]I'd be lost without this app! An actual pillbox is great, unless you don't look at it. With this app, you get reminded to take your meds. The best is that you can create a profile of sorts of your meds - complete with color, shape and type. Love this app! Update: The lack of customizable reminder and snooze times is driving me mad! 1 minute reminders and 5 minute snooze time is WAY too short for me! PLEASE fix this!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Not worth downloadTried it for a couple of weeks. Ok, it looks pretty. But functions are very basic and it just doesn't work as the help videos show. The videos are very basic. Main problem is that the menu tabs never showed up - making the rest of the 'help' irrelevant. So unless you get whatever you set up entirely right first time, bad luck. Because you can't delete a med, you can't change a schedule once set, so now you have something nagging you that you can't change at all. Oh, except for the colors and shape - big deal. No support available - I emailed and got no reply. Nothing on website. Uninstalled and tried again. - no change. Dumped it. complete waste of time..Version: 2.6
✓ GlitchyI find this app useful but it would be brilliant if it wasn't so glitchy; the names of the meds are missing in the default screen, previous days meds say "not due yet" instead of missed. Also the meds history would be great if you could see all of the meds with in a month view..Version: 2.4
✓ Needs Sync & little more flexibilityI really like this APP. It helps me keep track of prescription & dietary supplements. But ... The ability to sync between devices is much needed. More flexibility in scheduling monthly meds also needed. For example - the first Monday of every month instead of every 4 weeks..Version: 2.8.1
✓ Was a awesome app but no longer worksI loved this app for many years it was awesome . However with my new xs phone and ios12 it no longer sends alert reminders . I had to download another pill reminder app . Please update I really love this app and would like to use it again.Version: 2.8.2
✓ Good app, almost greatVery original and useful visual design. Agree with the suggestions by other reviewers to improve the scheduling. Needs a working snooze function (nagging reminders every minute is too intrusive). Very buggy in places, which at worst cause crashes, or at least odd display behaviour. Overall a really well thought through app that could be 5 stars with the bugs and usability issues fixed..Version: 2.6
✓ No alarm in silent modeThis is a great app except for one thing: the alarms will not sound if the phone is on silent. This is an absolute deal breaker for me as mine is on silent most of the time. I have to use a normal iPhone alarm in conjunction with it which partially defeats the object. Also when not on silent the alarm stops by itself after a time. It should continue until manually stopped. This app is no good to me if my phone is in another room and the alarm stops after 20 seconds. Adherence is very important with meds so don't be afraid to annoy your users into taking them..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Awesome. But currently broken if you take pills at night.Been using this since it came out. Really solid, reliable app. Recently it has had some issues with tracking meds I take at night. When I check the next day it shows that I forgot to take the pill the day before.. Hope it's patched soon..Version: 2.7.1
✓ Doesn’t work with current IOS, this should be pulled from the App Store.Doesn’t work with current IOS, this should be pulled from the App Store..Version: 2.8.2
✓ Great but....It was working perfectly for me. I take a lot of medications & need reminding what times they're due. The update with the being able to respond to the notification without launching the app simply does not work. It tells me it's failed & I have to open the app anyway. I have reset the reminders & turned my phone off & on again. It's still not working..Version: 2.8
✓ Crashes with iOS 7Crashes when checking a missed dose in iOS 7..Version: 2.6
✓ SuggestionsThis App is very handy! I am frequently required to take multiple medications, and it can get confusing!!! Thanks to this App, I get reminded when to take each Med :) Suggestion for improvements would be to: add 'as required Meds', and adding medication warnings, or alerts so you can't overdose on Meds. Also, the UI is a little old, perhaps update for iOS 8 and the new screen resolutions. Cheers. Thanks..Version: 2.7.1
✓ Update this appFor the love of god can we please update this app? It looks horrible and it crashes every time I use it..Version: 2.8.2
✓ OOOPPPSSS IT CRASHED!!!!!!Just upgraded the IOS to upgrade to the new version. Then all it did was CRASH, right up till I uninstalled and re-installed, But then all my data was lost. Not much help scince I use this app for major medications and three doctors as well take a look at whats going on with my Medications. Looks like back to the app store for me..Version: 2.7
✓ Buggy and needs more featuresThis app has potential but even with a single medication I am finding this app buggy. At least 50% of the time it does not display the snooze button or taken buttons but that's ok just close and reopen the app, it then crashes and open it again, it is ok. It would be nice to have another version that allows the reminder interval to be set to a longer time than 60seconds..Version: 2.6
✓ Bug?Seems to be a bug in the app. I can’t add new meds or change the name of existing. Hide keyboard button isn’t working. Have to close app and reopen but changes didn’t take effect. Very frustrated. Have been using this app for years..Version: 2.8.2
✓ Great, but missing topical options.This is a great app, but it is missing topical medications, like creams or gels. This would be good to remember to apply acne topical prescription and non prescription products. It would be perfect for me if it had a little tube graphic. I know there is an option to add a photo, but it's still in a jar and doesn't fit in with the other oral medications..Version: 2.5
✓ Nicely designedThis app is really simple and straightforward to use. Visually works really well, could use a little more pill colours/types but all in all great in its design. The only drawback I have is I would like some features changed or added for a more accurate and convenient use. - A way to choose 'not taken' on a daily medication to stop the notifier from showing (and approves that you realize you haven't taken it) - I would like to be able to choose to take more than 1 pill on given occasions for my daily medications, ex: took 2 pills on saturday instead of 1 without permanently changing the dosage - The ability to take non-daily meds and add to the list of take that day. (also with the ability to take more than one of those) I would like to keep an accurate record of my medication dosages and history. (Also, I haven't been able to find this I the iPad version but a mood tracker would also be really useful!).Version: 2.5
✓ Loosing my listNo reminders on my new iPhone. Looked at my list and most of the pills were missing Re-entered them today, and they’re in the list but not in the reminder. See that this app hasn’t been updated in 6 years. Guess I’ll be app shopping.Version: 2.8.2
✓ IOS 7 updateDoesn't work after update.Version: 2.7
✓ A bug-fest to be avoidedIf this was written by a nurse, I would not want to be treated by them. Basic functionality is compromised by bugs in the app which may make the alarm go off but not tell you what you are supposed to be taking. Intermittent crashes mean that sometimes the alarm does not go off at all. There are established ways of prescribing times such as t.d. or a.n. but this does not allow the patient to put this in. Three times per day should be worked out for you but isn't - the list goes on. No support, no answers to emails. Up to you, but I would not spend my money on this and would be asking for a refund (if such a thing was possible)..Version: 2.6
✓ Doesn't sync between devicesPretty simple touse but won't sync between my iPhone and my iPod touch. That is frustrating!.Version: 2.2
✓ Need glitches fixedI used to love this app. However, lately it has been failing to remind me, not showing all my meds that I take, and I get that "action failed" notice a lot. I've reset my reminders several times. I've also rebooted my iPad. Nothing seems to help. It's a shame that the app isn't more current..Version: 2.8.1
✓ Wish there were more optionsI love this app but I wish there were more options like quarter hour times (9:15 or 9:45). Please consider this in future versions!.Version: 2.8.2
✓ No iwatch?!I would give this 5 stars if it synced with iwatch. How can the free apps have this ability but a paid app not?! Otherwise a great app because you can set your own times and pick pill pictures that look like your pills..Version: 2.8.1
✓ Notifications are broken“Action Failed: You must launch Pillboxie and view your Due screen to mark any changes manually.” Don’t get me wrong, I love this app (used it since iPhone 3GS), but notifications and snooze are broken, and have been for a long time. Yes, you can “reset notifications” in settings, but the fix never lasts..Version: 2.8.2
✓ Repeat alarm setup needs workI really need something in between "alarm that goes off once a minute (even though I can snooze)" and "no repeat alarm at all." Since my medication is to treat anxiety there was no middle ground between screaming at the once per minute feature and just flat out forgetting when I turned it off. If you're wondering, "how can that stress someone out so much," I bet you've never needed anxiety medication! Anyway, this app would be totally perfect for me if that was an adjustable feature (like every 10 minutes! 20!). Alarm-alarm-alarm-then-snooze is so irritating for me, and the alternative being no repeating at all renders it totally ineffective for me..Version: 2.8.2
✓ Update your appPlease update the app and bring it up to date. Keeps crashing and can't sync notifications. If I can give this app 0 stars I would for your lack of adaptability..Version: 2.8.2
✓ New update FAILURE !Very happy with the app until I updated today to the latest version. A total failure. Lost all my history, data...everything. It crashed over and over after the update. No instructions on how to get data back. Email exchange with developer did not help. Before the update I was a very happy user I must say. 6 months worth of data lost in cyberspace....a shame..Version: 2.5
✓ Outdated UpdatesI have used this for years, it did a great job and I really liked it. Sadly it is out of date again and does not display properly for the iPhone X, words are partially covered when you are in the detail mode..Version: 2.8.2
✓ Tech Support Non-Existing!I purchased this program over a week ago. Within a couple of hours of using the program I experienced an issue. I sent an email requesting assistance. After several days I sent 2 more emails requesting help and still no response. The program has several flaws and NO support. There is also no means of getting my money back on the purchase of this program..Version: 2.8.2
✓ New updateThis app worked perfectly until the new update. Constantly crashes!.Version: 2.7
✓ Needs developmentPeople have made very important suggestions but the developer hasn't updated the app in ages. Look elsewhere..Version: 2.7.1
