### 5/5 — Great product

*2026-08-19, version 3.9.0*

The nurse told me about this for my grandmother with memory issues. It has been wonderful knowing she is taking the correct medication and saves us money. Great product and easy to use

### 5/5 — Extremely Helpful

*2026-08-17, version 3.9.0*

My spouse takes over a dozen different medications and supplements at almost every hour of the day. Hero significantly minimizes worry over when and what medications to administer. The reminders and notifications are helpful as well. Simple to set up and maintain via the Hero app. Thank you Hero!

### 5/5 — Convenience

*2026-08-16, version 3.8.9*

I don’t ever have to worry about missing any of my medications because Hero takes the thinking out of my hands

### 5/5 — The Best thing for people with several Meds

*2026-08-12, version 3.8.9*

I have had my Hero for almost two years and although I take 12 meds a day, the Hero has made it much easier for me.  I am 78 years old and I never miss a dose, nor do I take the wrong medication at any time.  It’s all dispensed at the times necessary.  I HIGHLY recommend this for everyone!

### 5/5 — Wonderful device for caregivers

*2026-08-08, version 3.8.9*

This device has helped keep mom out of the hospital.  She fell asleep a few times and missed doses so we made up pill boxes . That helped but Her old pill boxes were easy to spill and she sometimes didn’t see the pills she missed on the floor.   She loves the reminder and we live the fact that we get confirmation if she misses a  dose.  I love that I can change her dose remotely (for times when we need to stop a medication before a procedure) .  Refills are easy!  Schedules are flexible .  Would recommend to anyone. Holds 10 meds so can even be used for vitamins/etc.

### 5/5 — Life saver

*2026-07-30, version 3.8.9*

Best thing ever!!

### 1/5 — Charges to cancel/rude

*2026-07-27, version 3.8.9*

The customer service named “Mina” is unkind. I asked to cancel before the next charge and they took the payment anyway then asked days later why I wanted to cancel. I said I could no longer afford $45 a month after using it for 6months because my partner was laid off. She said days later to cancel I need to pay $270 for the rest of the year and pay to return the machine. They charged me after I asked to cancel asked why as tho out of kindness and concern only to keep saying I was in a commitment. If I don’t have $45 monthly anymore how would I pay $270?

### 5/5 — True Hero

*2026-07-26, version 3.8.9*

I take so many medications and refilling boxes for mornings and evening was such a hassle to do every week. Even every month, since Rx’s come in at different times and some are taken twice a day, some only on weekdays some only in the morning and some only in the evening, it became too complex. 

I’ve been using this machine for four years now and I absolutely love it. 

I just dump the medicine into the machine and the machine does the rest.

### 4/5 — Would be a 5-Star App with Medication and Symptom Tracking

*2026-07-25, version 3.8.9*

For the price point, this app has a lot of potential, but it needs a few key features to truly deliver value. Adding a medication refill reminder, along with a comprehensive health profile to track blood pressure, medication symptoms, chronic illness logs, and cancer symptom journals, would make this an indispensable tool for managing care and communicating with doctors.

### 2/5 — Patient
