  • Use Pillboxie for Physical Therapy Too

    I really like Pillboxie. Currently I’m recovering from knee surgery and it helps me to stay on schedule with my meds.

    Also, I’m using it for my physical therapy tracking. Currently I have 5 “meds” that are actually PT activities:
    1X/Day
    2X/Day
    4X/Day
    9X/Day
    Ice (happens to be also 9X/Day)

    Key point is the scheduling, just like for medications.

  • Fantastic pill reminder

    I couldn’t believe all the versatility that this app offers! Unbelievably and dependable for all my medical records and reminders. Love that I can email my doctors my medical history and medicines.
  • Snooze via Apple Watch rarely works.

    Have used this app for about five years now and it’s a fantastic app besides one point 😢 when trying to snooze reminders via Apple Watch it rarely works so I have to snooze via phone. Mark as taken or skipped works fine via watch, it is only the snooze. Sadly I’m getting fed up with it now. I’ve tried sticking with it. With no recent updates I’m off to try another app. 😢

  • Alarms quit working, Meds scheduled but don’t show on list

    After 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!!

  • Wish there were more options

    I 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!
  • The simple pill reminder

    I have been using this app since it came out. I love it’s simplicity and ease of use. I Recommend it over the other “do it all” pill reminders. If all you want to do is be reminded when to take a pill, this app is for you.
  • Works great and easy to use

    I have been using this app for years. Simple to setup and use. Even set to remind me of my dogs meds.

    Quick tip I set a dummy pill at 11 pm in case I was not able to take my 6 pm meds and needed a later reminder. Maybe in future you could have an option to snooze for an hour or two.
  • Great App!

    Wish the developer was still updating, but this is *still* a great app after all these years. I love that I can use pictures of my actual medication if I want (instead of just having generic graphic representations). And I love the choice of reminder sounds that are so vastly different from my regular iPad sounds that when I hear it, I know immediately it’s for my medication instead of some other reminder. If anyone ever came back to work on this, I’d love to see an “archive” section where I can save old medicines I don’t take anymore (so if my doctor asks if I’ve ever taken xyz med, I can look in the archive and see or even tell him I took it and had some kind of reaction to it in the past as a reason that I stopped). It would also be cool to have some kind of backup/restore (even if it’s to my own personal storage space) in case I want to buy a new iPad at some point so I can still have all my data history. But anyway, thanks for such a great app!

  • Not updated for 2 years

    Old App. No updates
  • Pillboxie is a godsend

    It is July 2020. Thank god this app is still working. I’m not exaggerating when I say this app keeps me alive. I just saw an update made by Apple. Something about a certificate. I am scared to update. I don’t know what I’ll do when one day Pillboxie stops working...

    My review from a few years ago:

    Every time iOS gets rev’d, I’m afraid that Pillboxie will stop working. This isn’t the fault of the dev; I understand that the effort necessary to keep this app updated may not necessarily pay off from business standpoint. But please, please keep this app functionally updated.

    I’ve been using this app for many years now, and, this app is critical to my health.

    If this app was not free, I will still happily pay to get to use it. Perhaps the dev can include some way for me to donate, so that I can show my appreciation for this important app.

    Thank you dev for this wonderful app to keep me honest with all the medication I need to take daily, to stay healthy and alive.

    Meanwhile, I’m going to go purchase some of the other apps offered by the dev.

    Thank you,
    Michael
