Peace
I’ve titled this review, peace for the simple reason that’s what it’s given myself mostly, but also my ever loving wife, who is always checking I’ve taken my pills and asking me what time did you take that one and when are you due the next, when your taking as many pills as I do it does start to become quite confusing, not so much for the once daily but then you have the, take twice, three time and of course the four times a day spread equally through the day, so you can imagine the long talks that accompanied them, but now after the first day or two conversations have turned to more meaningful things such as what should we have for tea, so all in all I would highly recommend this app.

Taking lots of meds made easy
This is the perfect aide memoir and educational tool - info on the meds you’re taking and reminders of when to take them. Perfect for anyone who has a memory that slips.
So far excellent, with much potential
At first I didn't like this app, but after a few recent updates and getting used to using it it think it really sets the standard for such an app. The tools cover all aspects of taking medication you would expect from such an app. The ability to add a dose tool is good, the reminders are spot on too. The medication reports are a fantastic idea especially for those who have difficulties monitoring medication.
If I was to provide some feedback for improvements it would be to cover more medications, I feel the ability to add a new prescription is dependent on what the brand/medication is called in the USA, which uses different names for some of the medication.
Overall the app is brilliant but needs a few tweets to make it universally useful to all that can use it. No app comes close to this app in its category for usefulness.

In the meantime, tap on the '+' icon at the top right of your pillbox and tap on 'Add Medication'. Type in your medication name, tap 'Done' on your keyboard, then tap on 'Next'. Input the rest of your medication’s details. Please email us at support@medisafe.com for further assistance. Thanks, Medisafe Team
Glitchy, poorly synched app
I downloaded this app to keep track of my child’s medications. My husband and I both had it on our phones so we could both keep track. When I tapped that I had given meds, I always got a notification that meds hadn’t been taken as scheduled.
Now I’m being told that I need to purchase the app in order for it to continue to work. There is no purchase option in the App Store. I will be finding a different app to keep track of medications. Definitely wouldn’t recommend.

Just What I Needed
I have to take a variety of medications. I was using my phone clock alarm with labels telling me what medications to take and when. But it was annoying because I can’t always take my medication when the alarm would goes off because sometimes I’m busy at that moment with something I need to finish. The alarm wouldn’t remind me if I hadn’t taken the medicine. It was done. And I had to turn it off because any alarm is bothersome, especially if you’re using the phone to conduct business.
It dawned on me that they’re must be an app for this. I downloaded a few so I could try them out. This is the only convenient medicine reminder. If I don’t respond, it gets back to me in a short while. And the alarm sounds like a soft rattle. I can take the medicine exactly on time, I can ignore the alarm without missing my medicine because this app gets back to me in a while. If I decide to take a medication a little early or a little late, I can easily mark that in my schedule.
You just put in the name of the medication. The app and for the dosage and shows what the medications look like, so you have a visual of your medicine, too., It asks how many times a day you take it, and then has you put in the times you want to take it. It takes about a minute or two to do after you’ve done it once.
It’s so convenient. No more forgetting to take an important medication. No more trying to remember if I already took that medication today.
I love this app!

Best Medication App
I downloaded this app about two years ago and never had a problem wish the free version. It managed all of my many meds (about 80) and reminders. It started crashing a couple of months ago. When it got so bad I couldn’t depend on it I emailed support. It was an unusual case but Marissa kept at it, didn’t give up. After several weeks, emails and an update, we finally got it working and it’s stable.
I’ve tried shopping for other medication apps but none of them have the interface that works as smoothly as this one. I take around 15-35 pills per day and this app manages to remind me of them all and has the easy pillbox interface for loading my pillbox weekly with ease. I also like Morgan Freeman harassing me to take my meds. I’m so glad we got the app stable because there isn’t one on the market I’ve found that comes close to doing what this one does for me. Support is stellar too. I highly recommend this app. 🙏

App failure
Opened this app on Wednesday, and the meds were all mixed up including time and quantity. I take over 16 meds a day at different times. I can’t afford to have this happening.I am a 80 year old senior and this was I the best program for me and anyone else who has a slight memory problem and take multiple meds at different times.
Should I delete the program and start over again or search for a different program?

Doesn’t work
I paid the $55 for the full app but the measurements for mood and pain only randomly save themselves and won’t save every day. The measurements would be great to track how I’m doing and discuss with my doctors. It also has a great diary feature that will also only save when it feels like it. I lost several important entries.
I contacted the developer and they told me they had fixed it and I was to use a different email address and close and reopen the app. I did all of that and when I opened it again, things that had been saved, no longer were so the app seemed to function even worse now. Despite me contacting them several times, I have not been given any idea if they can fix it or not. The pill reminder works for me but that part is free. The premium features were unreliable for me. Another reply advised me that I could use measurements to help me and it made me realize they weren’t on top of things since I contacted them to say the measurements weren’t even working properly for me. (That was even more frustrating)
I also couldn’t get the pharmacist videos to work for me. Another great option... if it works.
In theory, the app is great but it’s not working for me and I’d encourage people to look for other options despite Medisafe being #1 rated. If they can assure me the bugs have been fixed, I’ll buy it again. I’ll write a positive review but I’m not satisfied with the customer service either.
I have found it to be very frustrating because this app should give me what I need but it isn’t as advertized.

Helped me adjust to newly-diagnosed chronic disease
After receiving diagnosis of a chronic disease last year, I was suddenly juggling ten pills each day. Each prescription had its own instructions and schedule. One I take every other day. One I take first thing in the morning, 30 minutes before eating. Others I took with lunch, or with dinner. Woah.
Medisafe helped me get in the habit of taking my pills on the regular. And once it became a habit, I turned off the notifications and just use the app to check off when they were taken. It’s super customizable and has been a wonderful help.
One of my favorite features is the interaction checker. I have two prescribers and while they know what I’m taking, it gives me peace of mind to make sure nothing I take will cause an adverse reaction - or gives me the ability to ask educated questions if there may be a concern.
I recommend this to anyone who is trying to get on a schedule with your prescriptions and supplements — for health’s sake!
