### 5/5 — one of the best apps

*2025-09-22, version 3.6*

but need an update

### 5/5 — Why not updated

*2024-11-12, version 3.6*

I like this app , I use it on my android but why not updates here on iOS

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2023-12-18, version 3.6*

Literally no way to add meds to this app.

### 5/5 — Good

*2023-07-15, version 3.6*

Very good

### 1/5 — Can’t save setting

*2022-08-28, version 3.6*

Essentially useless for me can’t save an entry. Every time I hit save, the app closes.

### 2/5 — Need more variability with medication dosing

*2021-11-30, version 3.6*

Some meds are not given in the schedules offered in the app. I have a medication that is taken once every 2 weeks. Doing a weekly reminder is not good because I can’t remember if I took it last week or 2 weeks ago. Also as a pro user, will I be forced to subscribe if I already paid for the app?

**Developer response:** You can schedule to take your med every 2 weeks by using the Daily schedule type, and choosing the frequency to be every 14 days. And of course if you have already paid for the app, you won't be asked to upgrade for premium again.

### 5/5 — Perfect Medication Companion

*2021-11-15, version 3.6*

Reminds you to take your meds on customizable schedules. Keeps track of you medication supply and reminds you when it’s time to get refills, BEFORE you run out. Keeps track of prescribing doctors, pharmacy, and list all your prescriptions including doses and strengths. Also reminds you of follow up appointments.

### 3/5 — Shows promise

*2021-10-05, version 3.6*

One of few apps that allows you to have PRN medications. Useful to noting time. May I suggest that it would be far more intuitive to be able to swipe left and right to change the date. It seems silly to only be able to swipe up and go back a day but cannot go forward a day unless you specifically select it on the date.

### 5/5 — Forgetting refills no more

*2021-07-05, version 3.5*

I kept letting my wife’s placid run out and it was always a Sunday and our store was closed. Now I have you to remind me.

### 3/5 — Missing photos

*2021-06-13, version 3.5*

When I first started using the app I took pictures for each Rx. The next app update, all my pictures were gone. I thought, ok, fine I’ll retake them. The app updated again today and again the pictures are gone. App developer, please fix this, I’m tired of retaking pictures. I have also found that the Rx count isn’t accurate. I religiously use the app and when I get low, the remaining count in the app is not the same remaining in the Rx bottle. It’s not that the Rx count is off since I count the pills when I get them since each pill is expensive so a few missing is not acceptable. So process of elimination, the app isn’t depleting the total remaining correctly.
