Detailed, customizable, intuitive
I’ve been dealing with a severe COVID complication for the past eight months, with lots of medicines and lots of changes to medication as doctors determined what was going on. On top of that, doctors asked me to track my weight, how nauseous I was, and any side effects. All the while, I’m exhausted and “out of it.”
This app has made managing ALL of that easy. It’s intuitive (except adding measurements from the main screen could be simpler; you have to do a lot of duplicate tapping), highly customizable, and the amount of detail is amazing. I love being able to snooze/reschedule doses, edit or add notes to individual doses, and see interaction. I also like that I can add my own annoying alert tone so I definitely don’t miss a medication!
Thank you for making a difficult time in my life a little easier. You’re doing great work.

I Like This App, But…
Just today the developers cut down the number of free measurements from 6 to 3. Perhaps the 6 measurement model was not restrictive enough and was not pushing folks to pay the fee for the professional version. I only discovered this when I went to change one of the accessible measurements. I turned one of the 6 off and added 1 other. When I clicked to exit the settings is when I was informed via pop-up that the limit was 3. Now, this restriction in and of itself is not terribly bad considering I can do all of the measurement manually in the native health app. Nearly all of the health data I port to the health app is via Bluetooth enabled devices. Although it would be nice to add some missing data through this app from time to time, I have absolutely no need for any of the other features offered for the $40 annual price tag. To make this app really useful it should allow as many measurements as the user wants to have access to. Measurements which can be manually added through the native app should not be a pay-for in this app. I am sure there are many folks who would pay a premium for multiple users. The rest is fluff. I’ll use it for a while for mes management but will continue to search for something else.

Fantastic!
I’ve only just started using this app but I’m in love with it!
not only the ease to enter pills, dosages, multiple doses per day and different times but you can also enter the physical appearance of the pill for identification!
I’m just out of hospital after knee reconstruction and also recently diagnosed type 2 Diabetic I’m taking a number of pills I’m not familiar with.
I’ve tried for a week to write a schedule but it’s very messy.
This makes it much easier, more neat and I’m far more confident that I’ve got it right!!

Good but could be better
I definitely find the app helpful, but I really wish I could have it on my iPad and my iPhone at the same time. Surely they can be linked? I don’t always have my iPad with me, but I like having there. I need it on my phone during work.
Really recommend it - finally remember my medication
I’m autistic and really struggle remembering my medication. Night time is usually easier because I have medication to sleep but always forgetting the morning. This app I have actually been able to consistently take my morning medication instead of skipping days or taking them at different times of the day. It’s got different health measurements you can add and record including mood, blood pressure anything you want, a diary to record different things that has different labels like mood, general, side effects. There’s a place to record your doctors information and your appointment times. It’s a really helpful app to me and it doesn’t cost anything which being on a pension is really helpful because I can’t afford all these apps that have expensive subscription prices.

Brilliant App!
Ever since I received my first iwatch this month I have used this app to remind me when my daily medications are due and the alarm alerts me. I have also used the app to record all medications, supplements and PRN medications, doctors and the quick reference to their contact details and I put all my appointments in so I’m well organised. This is brilliant and I wish this technology was in my life a lot longer ago. Great work to the creators! This can save lives and alert health professionals such as police, ambulance and doctors etc of information that is vital to an individual. I recommend this app!

It really helps me
This app is awesome Once you put in all your information. At least it has been for me. It reminds me to take it on time with an alarm that is good enough to get your attention but not obnoxious or annoying. It stores all your dr information even appointments. I love that it can take the medications you are on and tell you how they react w one another. This is especially helpful when you have several Dr. prescribing meds for you. It also will take the individual medications and give you all the information on how it works, what it is used for and how to take it. Ex: with or without food, don’t take dairy w it, avoid taking at nights... things that really help.. it even sends a little reminder to take your meds w you if you go somewhere! I haven’t been late or missed s dose since I began using this app.

Want to Love it..
I really want to love this app, but I feel rescheduling could be MUCH better. Can select 6 times/day, but when you reschedule one med, that meds other times don’t adjust at all, have to go in and manually adjust ALL the remaining times to take that med. I feel like if it gave you an option to set the time in between the meds and it auto adjusted every time you rescheduled OR select how many times per day it would be much more user friendly. (I.e. if you are taking an antibiotic may times you kind of do 3 x per day - when you wake up, lunch-ish, and then before bed, but when you are on a major pain med that can be taken every 4 hours, as needed, if you reschedule that because you took it late, you CANNOT take the next “scheduled” one but now have to manually adjust EVERY scheduled time after that. Also the time line could be more user friendly and if you reschedule a med then it could show at that time instead of keeping it in the originally scheduled spot.

Very useful, minor tweaks recommended
This app appears to have more features than I need. I just need a simple app to remind me to take my meds and, more importantly, remind me what time I took the am dose so I don’t take the pm dose too soon.
But the extra features don’t interfere with that, so I’m ok with it.
I wish I could turn off the “weekly summary” notification. I don’t need it, and all it does is annoy me and tempt me to turn off all notifications, which kind of defeats the point.
I don’t always log at the time that I take it; it’s sometimes 10-20 minutes later. Because of this, the method for setting the time I took it is really annoying. If I log it more than an hour after it’s scheduled I’m given some options “Take Now”, “On Time”, and “Set Time”. But if I log it just 20 minutes late, the app automatically sets the time to “Now”. Since one of my meds requires I wait an hour before eating (or taking other meds), those 10-20 minutes do matter. I tend to log it right before starting other activities that will make me forget what time I took that first pill, so this kinda screws me up.
Please allow the option to set (or change) the time taken for all entries, not just the really-late ones.
Some meds have to be taken “every 4 hours” or some other interval. It would be nice if the reminder for the PM does would adjust if I take the first dose late.

Still the best
UPDATE: After nearly 9 years I’m not needing Medisafe as often anymore, but when someone needs monitoring I’m able to keep everyone’s dosages and times straight with reminders on my phone and watch. Keeping this app!
.........
I’ve been using it for a few years, and with a family of six and an aging parent who lives alone I’m grateful for this app. I’m alerted to the meds I need to take, as well as those my family members may need. I’ve also got a record of what’s been taken when we’re feverish and I’m not completely aware of the time, so I’m not going to give anyone a dose too early, either.
I’ve kept records of each member’s weight so I can give the appropriate dosages and the diary allows me to note side effects, and changes including temperatures, so I can check with my doctor without fear I’ve forgotten something or a date which is my normal.
Then, when my phone locked me out this was the only app to return ALL of my info after I had to set up my phone as a new device!
Works with my Apple Watch. Gives me drug interactions warnings and videos about how to take each med. So important when both of us adults were post surgery at the same time.
Long ago I had one problem and the staff helped me fix it right away.
Can’t say more great things about it without sounding like I’m being paid!
