### 5/5 — Love the team and the product

*2025-10-21, version 4.2.2*

All products have issues but especially tech products, what matters is the team behind the product doing what they can to make your experience better. EllieGrids team is wonderful and it’s an added bonus that I love their product. It’s so helpful for me. ❤️ Will literally keep my Ellie subscription for LIFE.

### 3/5 — Having issues with Bluetooth connection

*2025-09-05, version 4.2.2*

I have been using this device for over five years and that been working very well up to a few months ago that been having problems keeping Bluetooth connection and I have been reconnecting and this time that is having more issues unable to reconnect to the Bluetooth, but I was able to Take my medicine, but that was not able to tell me my machine was open and I need you guys to fix that bug or help me out or you guys need to get a new system put in place like a new design Have more spots for medicine More than seven spots For discount because I have been having issues on and off with my device

### 3/5 — So glitchy

*2025-04-11, version 4.2.2*

I love the concept of the EllieGrid pill box but the app is so glitchy that it renders the purpose of the pill box kind of useless and causing me issues of trying to remember what I took etc. I would love to keep using this if the app gets better! Please!

### 3/5 — App is very buggy

*2024-12-02, version 4.2.2*

I’ve had an EllieGrid for years and like the principle of the device because I have ADHD and often worry about forgetting things. But the device, even with its good features, has historically been very buggy. Some of the ongoing bugs include the pillbox being inconsistent with connecting (randomly giving me the red light) and needing to be reset fairly frequently. Things had generally improved, though, until the most recent update. Since that update, I’ve had this issue of the pillbox not registering that I had opened it for random timeframes with the window of taking my pills but then lighting up blue after the window had closed. I have checked my settings for each medication, deleted and reinstalled the app, and the problem persists. 

Can you please please fix this bug? I really want to support the product because I think it’s important but the persistence of these bugs is really frustrating. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Best Pill App Ever - Look No Where Else

*2024-06-06, version 4.2.1*

Such a great app and product!

### 1/5 — Stopped working - No help from company

*2024-05-14, version 4.2.1*

I’ve had this pillbox for a couple of years.  The pill box stopped syncing.  Have asked for help multiple times from company with only a response to watch a YouTube video.  Waste of money.

### 1/5 — Pillbox doesn’t work after latest update.

*2023-11-26, version 4.2.0*

EllieGrid pillbox stopped working after latest update. It will connect in the app but error out after reopening the app or when it runs in the background. The box never sounds an alarm or flashes the lights when an alarm goes off. I’ve tried all the troubleshooting that’s provided, including resetting the box. Nothing works, box is now useless and as someone with ADHD this was crucial for me to take my medication on time.

### 1/5 — Not quite there yet

*2023-10-01, version 3.4.1*

I’m psyched for future iterations of this product as I do think it will be helpful. I am returning mine because 
1) Small pills easily shift into other compartments (??!))
2) Opening the box causes pills to lurch around 
3) the box doesn’t latch, so when traveling and items shifted in my 
3) You have to pay kind of a lot for access to med history after buying the box for $100+
4) The alarm-sound choices are not good
5) You still manually have to enter the # of pills every time

A $10 big pill box + a free checklist app will work just fine for my purposes.

### 3/5 — Dead?

*2023-06-11, version 3.4.1*

Is this product dead? Hasn’t seen an update in years.

### 4/5 — Smart pillbox time for an update

*2023-02-01, version 3.4.1*

Great concept! It would be even better if the app could be adapted to Apple Watch :)
