Like my bank app only needs updates a few times a year, what is causing this to require such constant revision?) and kind of fails to serve its purpose if you don’t have auto-update for your apps. I’m usually reminding myself to update the app so that it updates me on what I already know and am now late on! ### 4/5 — Ok *2025-03-14* App ist zuverlässig aber klingelt nur einmal, wenn man es weg drückt, zeigt es nicht mehr an. ### 2/5 — Langue *2025-01-06* Dommage que cela soit en anglais. Prochaine mise à jour avoir la langue française merci ### 4/5 — Gut aber zu wenig Sprachen *2024-09-18* Isso, warum nur 2? ### 5/5 — Most basic app *2024-04-28, version 4.5* I use this app to track when I need to insert or remove my Nuva Ring birth control and it does exactly that. It is the most basic app, but in a good way. It gets the job done! ### 5/5 — My best reminder 💜 *2024-04-26, version 4.5* This App is very helpful to remind everyone with their periods reminders. ### 3/5 — Forgot it! *2024-04-16, version 4.5* I really like this app and it helps me with being regular in taking my pill. Although this yesterday it forgot to remind me and I didn’t take it. I checked and there has not been any notification from this app! I’m very disappointed, but normally it works quite well ### 5/5 — Excelent *2024-02-17, version 4.4* I used for a long time ago and still using it, I don’t know remember for how many years But I like it and the best it is for free. Thank you, you are the best!! ### 5/5 — Perfecta *2024-02-03, version 4.4* Fácil y muy visual, además siempre con recordatorios. Funciona perfectamente y es tal y como los sanitarios me han explicado. Súper recomendable. ### 5/5 — Simple *2024-01-19, version 4.3* Really easy and simple to use. ### 4/5 — Has everything you need with the purchased feature *2024-01-02, version 4.3* I paid for the upgrade and it was worth it. Just a couple bucks which is no big deal for how important this is. The app works great and has great features so if you are considering the upgrade, it’s worth it. The only bug I have noticed is related to time changes when I am traveling through different time zones. You can manually change the reminder time for a certain day, but that doesn’t work great when I’m changing it for multiple days or going to be in different time zones. Over the last two weeks I’ve been in 3 different time zones and the app doesn’t adjust well. I am now back to my home time zone and the app is still using the time zone I was in a couple days ago. It seems like it takes a while to sync up. Would be great if that was addressed but other than that it’s great and simple. ### 5/5 — Great - But I need more functions *2023-10-05, version 4.1* I love the pill reminder. Simple and efficient! But I would even get more use out of it, if developers would include (simple addl features): 1. Customizable Cycle available (no pause), 2. Prescription Refill Reminder 3. To add patch ( not either or … some people use the app not only for contraceptive but for hormonal medication of all kinds, using patches AND pills) 3. Having customizable reminder for pills/ patches that have to be taken only every other or third day or specific day of week. 4. Add 2 more pill tracks … But this is just me. Would be great. Other than that, the app is very functional and simpatico! ### 5/5 — Simple and very helpful *2023-10-02, version 4.1* While other apps like these are super complicated to understand and work around with this app is simple and useful to remind me to take my bc. ### 5/5 — Love this app but… *2023-09-19, version 4.1* I love this app! It makes tracking my pill so much easier but if there is a way you can add a sharing feature like the health app on an iPhone so I can have my bf remind me as well! Thank you ### 5/5 — La mejor app *2023-05-22, version 3.9* Increíble, me ayuda mucho a acordarme y lo mejor es que no está con la tonteria de las suscripciones como otras app, con gusto pague la versión premium y siendo único pago me pareció hasta barato. Muchas gracias por crear una app tan útil ❤️ ### 3/5 — Persistent notifications not persistent *2023-05-06, version 3.9* I didn’t take my pill yesterday but the reminder had already dropped off. I didn’t clear it. Why did it disappear? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pay to use *2025-12-27, version 6.4* Horrible, you have to pay to even change the time of your alarm! At this point, just use your built in calendar. ### 1/5 — Idioma *2023-10-15* Seria perfeito tivesse disponível em português ### 1/5 — Not reliable *2023-09-11, version 4.0* I have the reminder time set at 11am but sometimes it changes to 8:30. A couple of times a month it doesn’t remind me at all and this will cause me to miss a pill!! ### 1/5 — Calendar needs fixing *2023-02-12, version 3.8* I’ve been using this for 3 years now, it’s been good and I start new packs on sundays and I paid to upgrade the version ( ridiculous) shouldn’t have to pay but you guys have to get paid. Point is there is some type of glitch in the app where it won’t be set on my start date or days to be set. Please fix this or I will find a better pill reminder app!!!!!😤 ### 1/5 — No suena alarma *2022-09-29, version 3.7* No suena la alarma si el celular esta en silencio… debería mejorar ### 1/5 — NEGATIVE STARS *2022-06-28, version 3.6* I set it up and while setting it up it CRASHED my phone. It shut it down entirely as if my phone died, when I had almost full battery. DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!! DO NOT USE!!!! ### 1/5 — Confusing *2022-02-23, version 3.5* The way the days and months are displayed on this app is very confusing as each calendar month displays days from the previous month and so on ### 1/5 — Wack *2021-04-29, version 3.2* Alarm doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Never worked. *2021-02-15, version 3.2* Let me start by saying that I DID have my push notifications enabled and all settings correctly configured! However, this app never worked the way I needed it to: as a reminder to take my pill!!! I am a very forgetful person so a reminder is an absolute necessity. I could go in and mark my pill as taken, so that portion of the app worked, but it never reminded me. No alarm went off, my screen did not light up, and no banner even popped up on my screen if it was unlocked. I’ve tried tweaking the settings multiple times, but nothing helped. It only worked when it wanted to work and in the way it wanted to work, but this worthless app didn’t help me at all. Bummer...it has such a high rating. Hoping another app will actually work for me. ### 1/5 — waste of time *2021-02-06, version 3.2* don’t download download the M.P one this one is horrible doesn’t even have an alarm to alert you .. you have to upgrade to premium to get the alarm feature ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App ótimo ! *2026-08-10* Fácil , prático e ajuda muito ! ### 5/5 — Ótimo *2026-04-14* Me ajuda muito a não esquecer de tomar as pílulas. Muito útil mesmo ### 5/5 — Simple and easy to use *2026-01-21, version 6.4* Straightforward app. I’ve never missed a day of birth control thanks to it! ### 5/5 — Great!!!! *2025-10-28, version 6.3* Has been a lifesaver. Has kept me consistent on changing my patch on time to void any unplanned pregnancy. Gives me a peace of mind. ### 5/5 — Super *2025-07-15, version 5.8* Używam niezmiennie od ponad 6 lat, sprawdza się świetnie :) ### 5/5 — Ótimo por sua simplicidade *2025-06-04* Excelente e leve. Uso para acompanhar o uso do anel e ele cumpre a sua função sem firulas e sem compras dentro do app. ### 5/5 — Fire *2025-05-22, version 5.6* Just makes it so easier, better than my period tracker app at sending notifications. ### 5/5 — La mejor app *2025-04-03, version 5.5* Sencilla, fácil de entender, sin anuncios, simplemente la mejor ### 5/5 — awesome *2024-09-16, version 4.6* Awesome ### 5/5 — ¡¡Totalmente Recomendable!! *2024-06-23, version 4.5* Como siempre, las mejor app. Llevo 9 años usándola y la más que recomiendo --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
