## What is Medication Timer?

“When did I last give them medicine?” “What was their temperature an hour ago?” Medication Timer began with a middle-of-the-night fever — but households also need everyday schedules and vitals in one trusted place. Coordinate scheduled dose routines, as-needed medication timers, temperature history, and health readings (blood pressure, glucose, SpO₂, INR, and more), with optional Family Care so every caregiver sees the same picture.

What you can do
- Family profiles: Track every family member in one place.
- Scheduled dose routines: Daily, weekly, or hourly patterns with reminders, so planned doses appear on Today alongside everything else happening that day.
- Care: When illness strikes, track the whole episode in one place. As-needed timers space medicines like paracetamol and ibuprofen so you can be confident you are not under- or over-dosing, while you log temperatures, symptoms, and health notes. Run short medication courses like antibiotics as part of the same care period.
- Health readings & vitals: Track INR, blood pressure, resting heart rate, SpO₂, respiratory rate, weight, and blood glucose (mg/dL or mmol/L). Set targets, add reminders, and see everything on Today.
- Today: One daily view that combines routines, as-needed timers, temperatures, and vitals for each family member — no switching between siloed screens.
- Home screen widgets: Next Up shows the most urgent household dose (routine or care) with Take and Snooze on medium size. Active Timers shows running as-needed countdowns with Log dose when safe.
- Lock screen & Live Activities: Add compact Active Timers lock screen widgets, or turn on Native active timers in Settings for a full-width Live Activity banner and Dynamic Island countdown while a timer is waiting.
- Apple Watch (experimental): A companion watch app shows Today progress, the next scheduled dose, active care, PRN timers, and Family Care quick timers — with Take, Snooze, and Log dose relayed through your iPhone. iPhone notifications can forward to the watch with action buttons. This is an early release: keep your iPhone nearby and signed in; the watch does not connect to your account on its own.
- Quick actions (Family Care): Log doses and readings in one tap from Today.
- Family reports (Family Care): Clear summaries over any period — for your records, other caregivers, or your doctor.

Free vs Family Care
- Free: Unlimited family members, medications, as-needed timers, and temperature & symptom logging, with Today showing the last three days in full detail. Free features are intended to stay free for the life of the product.
- Family Care (subscription): Adds shared caregiver coordination, unlimited history on Today, one-tap quick actions, health trends, family reports, quick timers on Apple Watch, and every new family feature as it ships. Priced annually, shown in your local currency at purchase.

Accessibility
- Large mode (works especially well on tablets) for low-vision users
- High contrast mode to reduce visual noise in the interface
- Siri integration for hands-free dose and temperature logging

### 5/5 — Useful app

*2026-07-08*

I can never remember when I take cold medicine or allergy pills to know when I need my next dose. This simplifies it. Great app, and easy to use!

**Developer response:** The brain fog can be real when you're in the thick of it! Thanks for sharing your experiences with Medication Timer!

### 5/5 — Very helpful app

*2026-07-05*

Great way to track medication for multiple family members.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. It's greatly appreciated!

### 3/5 — Half right

*2026-02-03*

Great timer ✅ but it assumes that the medication has been given as soon as it’s available again so when you press to administer the next dose you end up with multiple “timers” and it ends up looking confusing. And if you try to delete the completed timer from the previous dose given then it resets the number allowed in 24hrs. I got this because when I’m unwell it hard to remember if I have had 2 or 3 doses of paracetamol for example and I thought it would help keep track of that for me but it’s better to just write it on a piece of paper that I have to remember where I put it…

**Developer response:** Hey! Thanks for your feedback.

In the latest versions you can adjust the time of the re-administration as needed. Hopefully this aligns more with your own health requirements. Version 2 also introduces more tools for managing medication routines and health readings (like tracking blood pressure as an example, or for myself INR for my heart medication). Please do take a look and I would appreciate any further feedback that you might have!

### 3/5 — Just needs a tweak

*2025-03-19*

I absolutely love this app. It tells you how many doses in the last 24 hours however my biggest bug bear is that the history of the doses have the incorrect time and it drives me up the wall. I really hope this can be fixed soon if that was fixed and I could see a full history of say the last week. this app would be a 5 out of 5 simple easy to use just what I needed when trying to log how much Calpol the little one has had.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Please take a look at the latest version and let us know if this issue persists. If it does please contact support so we can get to the bottom of the issue.

### 5/5 — The app I always wanted

*2024-03-19*

This is great for tracking the family medication. No alarm to potentially wake you when asleep but a big green or red square to say yes or no for more medicine. Just what a sick parent needs when the whole family is ill.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app that does just what you need

*2023-04-04*

Thanks for making such a great app. It’s perfect to keep track of medications and also keeps track of the illness progression.

### 1/5 — Don't work

*2022-08-12*

Accidentally logged out and it won't let you log back in lol

**Developer response:** This registration issue was fixed shortly after this review in 2022. The app has been rebuilt substantially since. If you hit any problem, contact me at support@medicationtimer.com and I'll sort it personally.
