Pill Reminder Medication Alarm for Negative User Reviews
✓ Pill taking reminderOnce you build your initial time reminder it’s hard to impossible to change. It wants me to buy a fancier version and try’s to sell me other software. Taking it out of my iPhone. Disgusted..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Not much useI’ve had to buy this full app just to find out it’s clumsy and not any help.Version: 1.8.1
✓ Not as advertisedAs a free app only allows you to add a couple of medications..Version: 1.10.1
✓ Completely unimpressedDoes not sync consistently to my watch, just bought the full version and it’s a waste of money.Version: 1.7.1
✓ App is supposed to alertI paid for this app thinking it would alert me with actual sound when it was time to take my medication. It doesn’t! It puts up a silent notification which is extremely helpful when I am suppose to take an antibiotic at 0500. Fortunately I set other alarms just in case. I have done everything I can think of to make it MAKE actual noise but the only time it does is when the app is open and my device is awake, not very useful. I looked at the comments and have found that this is not just my issue! Fix it or give us all our money back if we paid for it!!!.Version: 1.6.11
✓ Meek to pay for the full versionThe free version is the same as setting a reminder on your phone. It’s not that helpful. Medisafe is a way better option.Version: 1.10.1
✓ ScamDidn’t go off at all not worth it doesn’t work.Version: 1.10.3
✓ Poor doesn’t always workPoor doesn’t always work.Version: 1.7.1
✓ Not sure if it works properly?It reminds me to take my medication but it seems to skip a day. I've had to reset the start day several times since I started using it..Version: 1.3.3
✓ OkI think it would would work for a lot of people, but it only lets you have the option of taking it every ___ hours. You can get reminders at a fixed time...with the premium. Overall I like it a lot, I just think the fixed time should be essential, not a premium item..Version: 1.9.2
✓ No notificationsI have notifications enabled on both my phone and my watch yet they don’t pop up and make a noise notifying me.Version: 1.9.6
✓ It takes a bit to figure some thing outI like it is it reminds me what I don’t get a history once I silence the alarm. I don’t have to go back to my paper records to figure out what a pillow should’ve taken.Version: 1.13
✓ App doesn’t change with Daylight Savings timeThe app was working OK before The time change of Daylight Savings Time. Then I got a message the app was going to adjust to the time change, but it didn’t. Then it started to send me 2 messages a day and wouldn’t let me answer if I took my medications or not. I had a number of messages I couldn’t click off. Frustrating and not helpful for keeping track of medications. It caused more confusion instead of solving a problem..Version: 1.15
✓ Time changeI like the app; however, I noticed with the time change, my reminders are coming in an hour earlier (as if it’s still set to the ‘old’ time). When I went in to edit the time that reminder comes through, it has the correct time. Eg. one is set for 2:00pm, but it reminds me now at 1:00pm. When I went to edit it it, it shows that the reminder is set for 2:00pm, but it still reminds me at 1:00pm. If this bug can be fixed, I would give the app 5 stars..Version: 1.10.3
✓ Thought it would be great butI thought this looked what what I needed, but it is too hard to adjust timing and dose schedule. And I can’t customize my dose schedule the way I need too. I’m deleting it after just one day and canceling my subscription ..Version: 1.14.1
✓ NOT WORTH ITSo you have to pay for a sound to play so you don’t miss the reminder, if you even get a reminder. I just tested it twice. Didn’t work. Trash..Version: 1.10.3
✓ Repeated over and over againI wanted this to really work, but alas the app asked me over and over and over again if I had taken my medication and each time I replied yes, I had. Minutes later it asked again and then again. I think you might get what I’m trying to say. I’ll be removing this app on the morrow, sad to say. BTW, it might be something I did wrong, but I can’t figure it out so off I go..Version: 1.9.7
✓ Wonderful design, pricing not right for meCan’t fault the app design and functionality. For an app of this type (eg not a hosted service) I would much prefer to pay upfront than by monthly subscription. If I were to pay a subscription, it would need to work out less than half the fee charged here..Version: 1.9.6
✓ Was goodThen they did an update and it’s awful.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Poor informationNot enough information and no option for did or not did.Version: 1.16
✓ Does the job but got confused by the clock changeJust needed something to remind me to take my daily vitamin supplement. It works fine - but for some reason it couldn’t understand the UK clock change and moved my reminders back an hour. Makes me wonder whether it might have issues if you go on holiday abroad too. As I say, it does the job. Just expect mild annoyance twice a year and when you go on holiday!.Version: 1.14.1
✓ HelpI downloaded the app and seems to be a nice pill reminder however in the app it said $1.99 monthly charges. Then in purchase on Apple iTunes it said pro full version for $1.99 so is that a one time purchase and not monthly? Received a message from the developer and is in in fact a monthly $1.99 charge. So will delete as not paying a monthly fee as will find a pill reminder where there is a one time charge..Version: 1.17.1
✓ Okay app but be nice if it made soundThe app only displays a pop up on my phone. I thought it was supposed to make a sound..Version: 1.9.8
✓ QueryQuery I’m on a drug to be taken every 4 hours. 0900, 1300, 1700 & 2100 with alerts for 0100 and 0500. The latter 2 aren’t needed. It would be useful if those two could be taken off the rota.Version: 1.6.11
✓ Too many stepsApp is not bad but it takes way too many steps record your time taken. in addition you can’t take medication ahead of time and mark it as taken and prevent the notification. there are several other Problems when it comes on the lock screen if you have do not disturb on it will not alert you. if you’re driving it won’t alert you it isn’t worth $1.99 a month or any other amount..Version: 1.17
✓ Didn’t work like I neededI needed a reminder to take my MS shot every 28 days indefinitely. Instead it set it up for 4 times on the 1st month and to end it completely after 28 days. I had the days set to 28 but it was set to remind me every 15 minutes x 4 times and to end after 28 days. I Want to CANCEL this app there is no way to make it work for me!.Version: 1.17
✓ DissatisfiedThe App is not really helpful. Does not have many features and when you use some available you have to pay. I did pay to use some “advanced” notifications and it’s just a thing you can write in a paper like how many hours takes between medicines. If this is “advance” it’s a robbery to charge for that. I am using the “advanced features” period I paid and will cancel it..Version: 1.13
✓ Easy to miss notificationsFor a paid application, makes it really easy to miss the notifications, not to ne used if you require to take therapy in exactly specific hours.Version: 1.11.2
✓ Reminders don’t include timeDid I take that one? When was it due? It doesn’t say. I like Pill Reminder All in One better because reminders have the time on them. Works fine if you clear reminder when you take the pill..Version: 1.9.6
✓ Doesn’t workThankfully not a life or death medication. Just want a simple reminder to take my prenatals because I’m not used to taking medication every day and keep forget. Yes, permissions were granted. No I didn’t get a reminder. Pointless app..Version: 1.16.1
✓ Terrible and crashesWhat a waste of money. I can’t even open this app without it crashing. I paid for this app because of a surgery coming up, and now I’m regretting it. I really want my money back..Version: 1.6.6
✓ Not reliableIf you open your phone, the notification doesn’t stay on the Lock Screen like some other apps..Version: 1.16
✓ Purchased the app, but keeps crashingNot pleased.Version: 1.8.1
✓ Great app, except twice a year...I love this app overall. But, despite my contact before about this issue [8 months ago] it has still been ignored. The issue involves the time change - whether falling back or springing ahead, the times get messed up an hour. Rather than adjust with the time change, you have to set it another hour later when we fall back an hour, or back to normal when we shift forward that hour. The expected behavior should allow the time to be set once and not have to mess with it at all! Hopefully this gets fixed BEFORE spring 2019. Well, I’m adding to this because obviously it hasn’t. In fact, after telling me it would be fixed, they came back and said that they aren’t going to add this because some people have to take their medications at the same time. Well, that same time would correspond with the time of day that it is where and when they are. Why this is so hard to understand, I will never know, but apparently it is..Version: 1.8.1
✓ Pill reminderCannot add anything later with out paying!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ Limitations if you don’t pay for full versionWould be nice to have better access but have to pay. Especially because they’re ads already included. Probably will use a different app that allows me to enter more than 3 medications for free....Version: 1.9.8
✓ New update has ruined appI have used this app for 9 years. It was great because of its simplicity. The latest update though has caused an issue where the app badge notification (iPhone) persistently shows a “1” and won’t go away. I have taken all of my medications and it’s still there. I even turned off the “reminders” toggle to see if that would fix it, but it doesn’t. I am now using the iPhone “Health” app that comes pre-installed and it’s great. It provides reminders in the same way that this one does without issues. Cannot and will not recommend this Pill Reminder app anymore unfortunately..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Handy but needs ImprovementI have been finding this handy for keeping track of medications that need to be taken at specific intervals. However one feature which I find frustrating is that if you take a medication late, it still maintains the original time for the next dosage. If your medication needs to be taken four-hourly then if you take it late a new time should be automatically updated for the next dosage. For example if it was meant to be 1pm then 5pm but you took the tablet at 2pm it should automatically update that the next one is due at 6pm. I don’t know any medications that need to be taken at the same time regardless of whether you took the previous one late or not. Most medications are based on intervals. This improved feature would make the app a lot more functional and stop me from having to delete and put in a new pill reminder each time or get confused as to when I actually took the pill..Version: 1.11.3
✓ Not practicalFree version offers almost nothing. Just an enticement to subscribe with a monthly fee. Might almost be worthwhile if it could be bought outright..Version: 1.11.3
✓ Aggressive Ads Cripple the AppThis app could be very useful but it fails to load or refresh when opening from a background state as it's trying to load an ad. I'm forced to close it manually every time I need to open it, making it very frustrating to use and more of an inconvenience than a tool to help. Can you not just put 10 ads on the bottom of the screen or in every menu instead of playing popup ads that break the UX and functionality of the app?!.Version: 1.6.8
✓ Handy but needs moreI like the way meds are entered especially the every so many hours option that is missing from other apps. It needs a log of what was taken and if something was taken late then the option should exist to shift the schedule. Otherwise much easier to use than other apps..Version: 1.6.11
✓ RIP offAutomatically made you subscribe had to cancel and delete.Version: 1.9.6
✓ MehIt wasn’t for me. If you need only certain days, you have to pay. No button to check off that you have taken your medication. It didn’t even ding, or send me a notification when it was time..Version: 1.16.1
✓ Let me mark my meds off soonerThis app really is great but my one complaint is that I wish I could mark that I took my meds an hour in advance. I take Levothyroxine which doesn't need a specific time, just at least 30 mins before breakfast. Sometimes I wake up early to use the restroom and take the pill, but can't cancel the reminder because it's "too early". Please allow people to mark as complete an hour in advance..Version: 2.6.1
✓ No ‘time of day’ reminder, just intervalsI used this for a while and it’s good, except when it comes to daylight savings. You have to delete all your daily reminders and start again because it’ll be an hour wrong for six months of the year. I have reminders for medication based on events in my day (breakfast, lunch, etc.) so that I can be sure I’ve had my pills by then. If you set a daily reminder at a time with this app it’ll always keep it at 24 hours since the last one, so on daylight savings days it goes off an hour early or late. It knows about daylight savings so even if you go in and edit the time for a reminder it’ll still be an hour wrong because it remembers the time zone it was created in. I need a pill reminder app that works how my doctor tells me I should take my pills, not this..Version: 1.10.3
✓ Not that helpfulI assumed there’d be an alarm but there wasn’t; just a reminder on my phone, so unless you’re looking at your phone, I kept forgetting, then getting out of sync with my meds. Don’t bother..Version: 1.10.3
✓ Do not buyThis is a waste of money. No visible or audio alerts..Version: 1.6.11
✓ Good until it stopped workingUsed this for a few months with no problems. Then it started to miss notifications. The it wouldn’t cleat notification. And now it just doesn’t work..Version: 1.17.1
✓ Daylight saving changeI hate the fact that the app adjusted it self without asking. Now what? Do I have to wake up earlier??? It SHOULD ask NOT asumme!!!.Version: 1.9.5
✓ Notification ProblemI love it but I wish it would actually notify me properly. I rarely get the notification..Version: 1.14.1
✓ Can’t reset notificationsI’d give this app 5 stars if I could reset notifications. I get the notification to take my medication and then no option more then half the time to say I took it. Might be because there’s issues with the watch to phone interface as I use it on both..Version: 1.8.1
✓ Worked great until it stopped openingThis is a brilliant app... when it can open. I change meds relatively frequently as I have yet to find my ideal medication and dose. With the most recent versions of iOS (12+) the app will no longer open, so I can’t edit anything. I still get the notifications so it’s not the end of the world but it does seem very annoying considering I have the premium version..Version: 1.7.1
✓ No time zone changesI'm not sure why no 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..Version: 2.5
✓ No option for onetime purchaseOption for onetime purchase, greedy to ask that much a month for this app to remove ads and unlock all features.Version: 1.10.3
✓ Maybe?The free app/demo version allows only one medication. This is not enough for me to trial the app properly. It appears to have the functions that I need, but testing it with only one of my few meds just doesn't cut it..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Not ringing the alarm for meGiving 2 stars because I paid $1.99 monthly so I can get alarm to remind me but it works as every other reminder I can just use reminder app from apple instead of this since it’s not ringing an alarm..Version: 1.17
✓ Used to be GreatThis app used to be great when I purchased it in 2019. Then, a couple of years ago it would intermittently stop sending reminders. I can’t even tell you the last time I remember the app sending a reminder notification. When I open the app today after a LONG time of not opening it, it shows all of my historical data as medication missed, daily..Version: 2.3.2
✓ Too expensive - deleted it straight away£1.99 per month?! When I read the reviews I thought that must be the total price for increased functionality. I tried to input some medicine but couldn’t even add which days to take it on without paying the fee. The free app is therefore completely useless to me..Version: 1.13.1
✓ TerribleDoesn’t actually send reminders. Do not use.Version: 1.11.3
✓ PointlessSet a simple reminder to take one tablet every day at the same time but it doesn’t remind me every day. Pointless and went back to using Reminders instead as it’s reliable. Shame. UPDATE: customer support suggested I enable all notification, which I already had turned on. Still doesn’t work. DELETE!!.Version: 1.16
✓ Doesn’t sync with watchDoesn’t sync with watch. No alarm, useless.Version: 1.6.2
✓ I've downgraded my rating.When I rated this app with a one star, the developer immediately contacted me and promised that anyone can now edit annoying alarm alerts without having to buy the paid version or alternatively having to completely delete the app and all data you enter just to edit the alarms. I then raised my review to four stars. However, I discovered upon further attempts that the developer's promise was NOT true. I contacted the developer for a chance to provide an explanation, but my inquiry has been IGNORED. I've therefore lowered my rating back to one star..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Ads. Very limited without subscription.Disappointed. Had to wait through an ad every other time I changed screens in the app. Reminders are on a set every X hours basis unless you want to PAY. Ads unless you want to PAY. Can’t access all pill history unless you PAY. Can’t do lots of stuff unless you PAY..Version: 1.17
✓ Great but..This was a great app when I come out of hospital with all the different medications.. I paid for the ad free app, so my niece deleted a few apps inc this one, but it’s fine right.. they’re on the Apple cloud. So I got it back and now it’s only the free version when I paid for the ad free on I’m now also limited to how much medication I can add on 😞 hence the 3 stars as I’m not paying for it again and I have to use my phone alarm for my other medications..Version: 1.6.10
✓ I used to like this appThis app sucks now that I have installed 10.1 oewes my iPhone! It hasn't worked correctlys since.z awa.Version: 1.5
✓ UselessNeed to pay to use it properly.Version: 1.11.2
✓ AdsI pay for this app monthly; however, I can’t access it with having deal with ads. Maybe if this was a free app I would understand, but a paid app? I will be looking for an alternative. UPDATE… they still put game apps on this. If I take the reminder down I have to watch ads and it take forever. Again I’m paying for this app..Version: 1.16.1
✓ Stops sending notifs after 3-5 daysThe whole point of this app is to remind you, since you forget to take the pills. So after 3 to 5 days of it reminding you, it completely stops sending any notifications and you have to go into the app, actively looking for it, and then it starts sending notifications again. After two weeks it got extremely annoying.Version: 1.17
✓ Not badDecent app but nothing worthy of a recurring monthly subscription, perhaps a one off upgrade to release advanced features but this is certainly not something to pay for month on month.Version: 1.9.6
✓ Doesn’t ring long… 1 sec or 2I’m not liking that it doesn’t ring long or that I don’t have the option to have it ring until I say stop or snooze like a regular alarm..Version: 1.16.1
✓ Way too subtle for someone with a memory as bad as mine.Reminders get lost in a sea of other notifications and easily dismissed. If there was a way to give priority to this app over others notifications it might be worth it..Version: 1.9.6
✓ Good app to track medicationPill Reminder was helpful post-surgery to help me keep track of my medications. For future releases, consider making the timing adjust if you take one late - so you have the option to automatically adjust the times by the hours (ie: if it’s a 6 hour med and you take it 2 hours late, the reminder will adjust by 2 hours.).Version: 1.14.1
✓ UrgentBonjour, s'il vous plaît ajouter l'option de médicaments utiliser au besoin et le nombre.Version: 1.13
✓ UselessUseless. No visible alert and it did not sound an alarm..Version: 1.6.8
✓ Bad Default soundThe problem when trialling this software is that you can only have a default beep instead of selecting a sound that is unique to this app, the beep or notification sounds like another email coming in so you miss the alert or notification this makes it useless for any real trial. be warned if you require this app to provide you with notifications when you need to take important medication..Version: 1.12.1
✓ More options and more medications neededThe app is good, although there could be more options and the amount of medication allowed to be added could be more as let’s be honest, a huge amount of people take more than 3 medications. Would make the app much more likeable!.Version: 1.9.8
✓ BasicIt’s a simple reminder app no different than using the actual reminder app already on your phone. Needs a history function so it records what you have actually taken.Version: 1.8.1
✓ RubbishAnother app the charges you for nothing..Version: 1.9.7
✓ Useless because of adsRendered unusable because of ads.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Works well except for missed dosesThe app does a good job of notifying you when a dose is due. The issue I have is when I miss a dose, then try to mark it done and the notification never goes away..Version: 1.13.1
✓ Utter nonsenseTotally pointless if you have more than 3 logs to make. I’ve obviously got a lot of medication and after entering 3 of them it’s asking me to pay to add more. No thanks. App deleted..Version: 1.11.2
✓ Great application; however, many improvements could be made, considering it’s a paid application.Feature Requests: • Allow repeat medication timers at specific intervals. For example: Allow the user to select the hour and minutes. • Widget for showing all the medication’s following dosing times. • Set End Time - Allow the user to set a time of the day where the medication isn’t taken (for example, during the night). • Pre-Alarm - Option to be alerted about the medication dose by specifying a time interval before the dose is needed to be taken. • Sync to Calendar / Reminders - For cross-syncing between devices that don’t support this app..Version: 1.14.1
✓ Does not save reminders when updatedI updated the up and all my saved reminders were deleted. I was not happy and will not be using this app anymore.Version: 1.4.4
✓ Not a good reminder apIt now has a constant Pop up asking to pay £1.99 a month. What a joke. It is so irritating and pointless. So I have deleted the app! There are better reminder apps out there for free..Version: 1.17
