## What is Max?

Hey there, health champs! It's me, Max, your pill-popping pal. Let's grow those healthy habits together with my friendly reminders!

[NEW] Share & Care
Invite family or friends to manage medication reminders together!
Now you can easily look after your parents' meds from afar.
No more daily "Did you take your pills?" calls!

[How to use Max]
▸ Fetch your reminders! You can set personalized schedules—daily, on specific days, or at intervals.

▸ When Max's "Woof Woof" alarm sounds, chow down on your meds and hit the "taken" button. Max automatically records the medicine name and time, crafting a pawsitively awesome health journal.

▸ If there's no response to the timely push notification, Max will bark up your phone again. *It's not a real call, so don't be startled!

[Recommended for]
▸ From conception to 16 weeks of pregnancy: Folate plays a major role in cell creation. Don't gobble it all up at once—Max suggests a daily dose with his "Pill Paws" alert to keep things steady.

▸ Office pups glued to screens: If those peepers are feeling ruff, set Max's "3-Hour Howler" alarm to keep those eyes rested. Adding some lutein to the mix is a real tail-wagger, too!

▸ Diabetic dogs on meds: Those taking diabetes meds might run low on Vitamin B. It's like the secret sauce for energy production, so Max's reminder pack always includes this woof-tastic nutrient.

▸ Caring for parents from afar: Hard to keep track of your parents' meds? Use Share & Care to check their medication status in real-time!

Stay barking healthy with Max's tail-wagging reminders!

*2026-08-20, version 3.1.7*

I really like this app. I hate reminders with a burning passion and it’s nice to have a call instead. I understand it might not be that way for everyone but I think it’s absolutely worth a try if you’re trying to build up your med habit!

### 4/5 — Problem

*2026-08-16, version 3.1.7*

This app has been great. I’ve been using it for about 6 months. However suddenly it isn’t colouring in the green circle anymore, which indicates you’ve taken that days medication. Can this be fixed pls?

It’s great for keeping track but it keeps locking up and won’t let me in to tick off my meds.

### 3/5 — Broken

*2026-08-02, version 3.1.7*

I like this app but it recently started getting stuck on the loading screen so I can’t check off when I take my meds or change my schedule. I’ve reset my phone tried with without Wi-Fi all that.
