I like this app a lot. Very simple and easy to use. Very helpful in reminders but my only issue is that there is no "snooze" or "delay" option when the alarm pops up. I am not always able to take my medicine exactly at that moment but it forces you to choose either "taken" or "skipped" to make the notification stop and go away. A snooze option would be a very practical addition.
Does what it says, very handy for reminding me to take my recent course of antibiotics. I have two minor criticisms; One would be to make the controls a bit easier to understand and navigate; a bit more streamlined. The second suggestion would be to include a snooze function for when a med cannot be taken at that moment. If the app already has a snooze function, I could not find it and in that case, I refer back to the original point of making it a little less cluttered and more iser friendly.
It's very annoying that the ads came before the possibility of getting rid of them. Another major annoyance is the lack of configuration controls so that you can choose whether you want it to displace and get in front of what you're doing at the moment, instead of just ringing out loud. This should be enough for me, I hate being visually interrupted at every alarm. P.S. Well, never mind, I've found a better app. That's the problem with annoying your customers.
Overall great app. Except for one significant flaw... Please rethink the approach, how the notifications are made. Idk what is wrong, but I never got any of those I set. If there are some Steps and Tips that should be followed from a user side in order to properly enable notifications, then probably you're doing something wrong. I mean - there are so many apps, that have way too many notifications, without any need to tweak anything.
Nice app. Simple and effective. The home screen could be improved. When a lot of medicines are listed. The home screen gets crowded. Need to select each bell to get the details. These things need improvement. Also if a .CSV file can be uploaded it would be great.
Not bad. New med entry defaults to today rather than the day you scroll to. Edits affect an entire series rather than the day only - should be an option. No tapering dose options. No option to set the time of first dose for daily regimen - defaults to 0800. Good overall but needs some improvements. Good multi dose option just need to be able to set starting time rather than default of 0800.
Been using this application happily + successfully for more than a year. It is apparent that the developer holds their user in terrible disregard from their last sarcastic + disrespectful reply to my review. Until the "change in ad network" in the last update, I hadn't even noticed ads. With the new version each meds notification is followed by a full screen full volume video of some lame "influencer" advertisement that cannot be dismissed for 5 seconds. essential app now replaced. Greedy
Sometimes does not show reminders even though I set everything according to the app. It would be also nice to be able to snooze the reminders for custom time (10, 30, 60 minutes...) if I'm not at home at the moment. I really hope the premium version won't be overpriced.
I really like the app except for one thing. The circle on the dashboard and the entered meds do not work like that of a face of a clock. If I have to select skip to quiet the alarm, and then go back, what I would think is 4pm as that on a clock, it isn't.
Alert sound can't be ignored. I have used another app which had too many unnecessary features. This one is simple and does it's job very well. Thanks developer. New review: This app failed to cope with change to summertime. Deleted and reinstalled without success.
Solid app. Easy to customize for all your meds. The full screen reminder is nice, but I'd like a pop up in the notification bar as well. That way I can dismiss the screen if I'm busy in the moment, but still have a reminder visible in my notifications. That would get five stars from me.
Been using app for a few days and I really like it. An alarm goes off and a whole screen pops up even if screen is on sleep. You can tick off that you took your meds at that time and the clock tells you when your next meds are to be taken. Love it, thanks!
It's quite persistent. That's helpful coz some times, I can be quite lazy. Edit: i wish it has a snooze button for when I'm driving or otherwise occupied. I wish it can snooze itself after say x minutes instead of buzzing till my phone runs out of battery.
Easy to set up. I opened the app and start using immediately. Reminders take seconds to set up and work consistently. No issues...it is so good it's annoying but it keeps me on schedule for sure!
It's good in the sense it will send a notification to my phone to remind me. I can set it as skipped or taken. I would like to have a calendar view where I can see for the month the meds I have taken and or missed. It would be very helpful.
Just what I was looking for to remind me. Really love the alarm alert that doesnt stop until you say you've had them. It would be helpful if you could put a start time in and how many times a day to take to save you having to set the time each interval
İ really like the ease of the app and simplicity of the app. Only would have liked, if you could go back a day or two on the calendar to record meds taken, but did not get saved to record them, also.
a great app! the only issue i have is the fact that every time i try to set a costum alarm for my reminders, the app crashes and i can't set the alarm at all. it's a shame, because the rest is super functional and neat!
Works fine, but it has a major flaw. When the reminder starts, after I click on it my phone is automatically unlocked. I don't know how it does it, but that's terrible. If my phone is stolen and the reminder starts, all my info is at their hands. Uninstalled for that reason.
Excellent and to the point app. Does exactly what it should. Thank you for not including 100 other useless features to improve user retention. UI could be a bit more modern but I'm just a UI/UX designer myself so I tend to nitpick those things in apps 😅
No snooze option, and this is a dealbreaker for me. You can only mark meds as taken immediately or as skipped for today. I very often need reminders to repeat - when I've ended a phone call, say, or got rid of the neighbour at the door, or got out of the shower or off the loo... If I remembered despite distractions, I wouldn't need a reminder app! Also, you can't opt out of personalised ads; the "Privacy policy" menu item opens the policy, but "Consent" does nothing.
