User reviews

Difficult to set multiple times for same day

Generally this app does what it says; alerts you when it’s time to take eye drops. Alerting at the time you want is another story. I first scheduled drops for my right eye. Great. While still taking the right drops, but starting a couple weeks later, I needed to add a separate schedule for my left eye. No matter what time I set it showed up an hour later on the schedule just for the left eye. There was no way to fix this other than to put the wrong time in and hoping the app doesn’t correct itself so I still end up putting the drops in at the wrong time. Jury still out about whether I continue using this app if it’s unreliable.

Unreliable App

The app fails to give me notice when my eye drops are due. It's very disappointing and concerning.

Great App

Due to recent eye surgery I had to put 4 different eye drops several times a day totaling 15 times. The App not only has every eye drops med listed but helps space out the time between drops which is very helpful.

Very good helpful App.

I enjoyed using this app for my post cataract surgeries.

Great app

I take artificial tears 6 times daily and prednisolone 1 time daily. I couldn’t do it without this app. At various times I’ve had other drops and this helps a lot. There were times when it was confused about time change but that seems to have straightened out. I recommend this app to people regularly. It has really been a great find for me.
