Great machine!
My teen has been struggling with depression and hates even more that she has to take medication, which makes her feel ‘crazy’, therefore I bought this Pria to add a little happy face and positivity to the whole pill taking. It helps, but I wish they would update the facial recognition because that’s never worked despite reprogramming it four times. The other suggestion I wish they’d do is figure out a way to lock access to the pills. It’s difficult to push that red section on the pill wheel, but obviously it can be done. I took a sharpie and covered the word “push” so if she ever does, for some reason, open the back, she’ll struggle with trying to access the actual pills in the wheel. That’s the only thing I can do until I can figure out how to lock the pillswheel/pria. I haven’t had an issue with her trying to gain access, but I don’t want until it’s “too late”. So far the happy face Pria has done her job and I couldn’t be happier (with the exception of updating the facial recognition so I don’t have to worry about her seeing me enter the PIN number). I definitely would recommend this for anyone with a child dealing with depression because it makes taking pills not depressing requirement and adds a little happy friend

Subscription obligation?
It’s not fair that you don’t mention anywhere about the subscription price, unless someone is signed in as a user. Therefore, just because of curiosity I downloaded, learned the price and I’m going to delete it. A fee of 9.99$ is not fair. By the way, I don’t even find it ethical to let someone to subscription because of health issues. One time fee okay but what about people who cannot pay and need such a service?

Medication search and appearance settings no longer work
The options to search for existing medications and customize their appearance result in a blank screen. I just bought this device and now I see the app hasn’t been updated in over a year. 😬 It seems like a health/wellness device that manages medications (and comes from a major corporation) should have better maintenance.

Decent idea, bad product
The idea of Pria is solid, but the execution is poor. This is designed for the elderly but requires the user to recognize when pills don’t dispense correctly, to insert a code to get their pills, and to navigate a fickle interface. I WOULD NOT recommend this for your parents or grandparents as i do not feel it is safe for those who are not 100% self sufficient.
