Was great but losing the plot

The app is suffering some functional degradation of late. Ticking off all the medications for a day will not close off that day’s ring. Highlighting days across the top highlights the day next to the one you want.

Quirky pill reminder that actually works

My body is a mess and Max helps me keep it in check. I have two to three sets of pills to take every day, it’s really easy to program in when you need to take everything. You don’t have to select branded pill names and you can tailor it to you. I currently have Max as my reminder animal so if I don’t check off that I’ve taken my meds, I get a “phone call” from Max which acts like a real phone call on your phone and plays a dog bark at you for a minute. I think it’s cute and a great way of making my phone reminders pop out at me. Would definitely recommend 😊

Simple & Convenient

I opened the app and simply input all my temporary meds with a schedule

Funny and helpful, but needs

I really like this app—it’s quite funny and I really appreciate that the snooze option actually calls you. It’s really good, though it would be great to have a few more options generally speaking.

Ironically I used this for my dog!

My dog has several medications that had different schedules. This app reminded me when the next med was due with a little bark, which is so cute :) This app is very well designed but simple to use. Hands down the best medication app I have ever used and I’ve tried many. I will continue to use this for myself.

Charging to Add New Medication To Profile ?

When I first got App I could add a new medication free of charge. Now, it appears that you must upgrade to premium with a charge to do this.

Update

Its been a while and I have just started using the app again a few weeks ago. Absolutely love all the new features and look. Its still so clean and easy to use, definitely worth while.

————————————————
I just downloaded this app and so far Ive liked it. It’s very simple and easy to use, and doesn't make me feel like I’m in a rush or with a heavy obligation (I struggle from ADHD). Im writing this review just to suggest an adding of Widgets. I would love to be able to just look at my screen and know up what’s next. It would also add a nice little touch visually since the apps design is so clean and minimal. So far, it’s an app that makes me feel at easy.

It’s cute. It’s Functional.

I love this app it makes the pill reminder pleasant. I love the pet theme. The only thing I don’t like is that there isn’t a way to notify the app that a medication has already been taken a medication, so it skips the reminder. Not a dealbreaker. I’ve already recommended it to several people.

Careful

When I downloaded this app a pop up asked for a 2 pence subscription. I accidentally accepted this (it’s easy to do so) and later found a company called hiegmus.com were taking £36 a month from my credit card. This company appears to be known for this. I contacted Max but have had no reply, so I don’t know if this is directly connected with their app-which worked well as a pill reminder.

5/5, 10/10, 100/100!!!!

Absolutely love this app, I used to struggle so much to remember to take my meds and this app is so nice, there’s no subscription needed, nothing is behind a pay wall, and I’ve only ran into minimal ads, the call feature threw me off at first but it really helped to remind me I recommend this app to anyone that takes meds and wants to keep track of them!!

Works like a Charm

Max is a great medication reminder. Easy to set up and works like a charm! No glitches like other apps. Used two other apps that caused more problems than a “helping app” should. Highly recommend and the dog bark reminders are welcome! Not a blaring foghorn at 7 am!

Bug

I cannot log my medicine due to the page being completely white.

Great app.Easy to use.

Love this app. Easy to use and very reliable. Love this app

Back-up Reminder!!

If I miss the first alarm, I never miss the dogs baking in just a little while!?

Good reminder

It’s simple yet effective. The ads can be annoying but it’s free so, you gotta make it up somehow.

Love the puppy call

This was the most innovative, helpful, and just about sweetest app I’ve ever used. It’s so hard for me to remember in to get a phone call from a Puppy dog is just the cutest. This works for me. Thank you.

Great App

Really like this app. It works great as a reminder to take my medications, and it is easy to set up and use.

Perfect

Love it, easy, free!! A blessing.

A very nice app

I love this because it is not only helping me manage my medications in a timely manner. It’s so well designed it has so much flexibility. I wish the developers the very best of luck. Not to mention the theme used , It is adorable. Max is cute and I am a Dog lover.

Doesn’t sync across devices

I installed Max to track my dog’s medications, and it works well for that purpose on one device. I especially like the reminder calls when I forget a dose. But when I added my husband so we could track—and mark complete—her meds together, I discovered that Max doesn’t sync across our devices. So, I may mark a med as complete, but my husband still shows her needing a dose. This is unsafe and makes this app unusable for family sharing. I’ve switched to MedSafe for now, but please fix this!
