## What is MediWear?

MediWear brings a Medical ID to your Apple Watch - you never know when you might need it.

If you’re ever without your phone and get into a medical emergency, you can rely on MediWear to be there to inform first responders about your medical details. Using the Apple Watch app, responders can view your medical conditions, medication, general details and much more - all from your wrist. Through the Complications, you can display your medical ID on your Watch Face - no need to even open the app!


MediWear contains these great features:

APPLE WATCH MEDICAL ID

MediWear has been designed for your Apple Watch so all of your medical details are within easy reach. You’ll be able to view personal details, medical conditions, allergies & reactions, medication and emergency contacts - all on your wrist. Access all of this without the need to unlock your iPhone!


COMPLICATIONS

There’s no need to even launch the app as all of your medical details can be added to your Watch Face through the MediWear Complication. This is perfect for displaying to first responders who can then tap it and view even more detail about you.


EMERGENCY CONTACTS

If you’ve chosen to add emergency contacts to the app, you’ll be able to call them with just a tap from the app or Complication.


CUSTOMIZATION

MediWear offers the ability to fully customize the Complication and whether a Star of Life or medical Cross is used when using the app launcher Complication.


TRANSLATE

Translate medical conditions, medications and allergies/reactions when travelling abroad.


SHORTCUTS

Manage your medical ID with Siri and the Shortcuts app.


STORED SECURELY

All medical ID data is stored securely on your own private iCloud account using the secure Keychain functionality. No data ever leaves your device.


SYNC

MediWear was designed to work with the MediWidget, MediSOS and MediID apps so you’re able to enter your medical ID once and use it everywhere. Syncing is done automatically through the shared Keychain and enables you to pick and choose which medical ID apps you’d like from the MediApps bundle.

### 2/5 — Love app but

*2025-08-01*

The app itself is nice. Unfortunately I can’t get the data on the Apple Watch. Deleting it due to this problem. If you can get it to work let me know. Instructions are useless as they don’t work.

**Developer response:** Hi,

Please email support@adamfoot.dev so I can assist you.

Thanks,
Adam

### 1/5 — Avoid! Worthless

*2025-06-25*

A waste of time. Downloaded app, entered requested data THREE times and each time just a piece or two would be saved. No name but photo is there. Do over. Now DOB (which is a pain to set as you can’t just type it) shows up but the rest of the information entered is gone! Last try. Nope. Weight is there but all else is gone. DELETE!

### 5/5 — Dosnt work

*2024-04-21*

It doesn’t work no more on my iwatch won’t let me load it onto my watch keeps on jumping not working at all

### 1/5 — Rubbish app

*2023-04-24*

Difficult for o change personal details. Dare of birth wrong and can’t change it

**Developer response:** Hi,

To change the date of birth, open the app on your iPhone, select Settings > Manage Medical ID and you'll be able to change it there.

If you are still having issue, please email support@adamfoot.dev so I can assist you.

Thanks,
Adam

### 1/5 — Doesn’t sync with watch

*2022-11-12*

Very frustrating that app fails to synchronise data with watch

**Developer response:** Hi,

Please email support@adamfoot.dev so I can assist you.

Thanks,
Adam

### 1/5 — Was great until it stopped working.

*2022-10-23*

This app worked great when I got it. Then I updated to IPhone 14 and Apple Watch SE. The app still shows in the list of apps when I scroll thru on my watch, but it’s no longer available in the list of complications to choose from in the watch app on my phone. I emailed the developer, and he responded by asking what version of iOS Im running. Never got another answer or any suggestions for solutions.

**Developer response:** Hi, you should have received a response from me by now, if not please email support@adamfoot.dev and I’ll respond as soon as possible!

The issue you describe seems to be a common problem in watchOS 9 unfortunately but I will keep looking into it.

### 4/5 — Everything is fine except for this bug

*2021-01-31*

At first everything was fine until I added the year of birth, apparently the older years will just switch over from 19__ to 20__. I hope this gets fixed because it’s important to my grandfather.

**Developer response:** Hi, apologies for this! Can you try again using the latest update please?

### 5/5 — Works good , except .......

*2018-12-06*

My medication list keeps disappearing and I can’t use the app when the watch is on lock screen , other than that it’s a nice app

**Developer response:** Hi, version 2.0.1 was released yesterday to fix the bug you describe - if you see it again then please email info@adamfoot.uk. In regards to your other issue, no Apple Watch apps work when the device is locked - same way your iPhone functions.

### 1/5 — It’s Been 2 Years. Former Fan of this App is Done.

*2017-12-14*

It was amazing when it worked. Considering the vast amount of time I’ve spent trying to get it to update, and by that, I mean, show ANY of the info I’ve entered, AT ALL, and that odds are greatest my watch would have shown NOTHING most of the time, should emergency personnel have had need to press the medic complication on my watch, I’m so done playing playing with this thing. I wrote a five star review long ago, mentioning my concerns of potential danger when the app failed (which was far less often back then) yet somehow it’s only become worse. Would love for this to work again someday. Can’t say I’ll ever waste more time on it though.

**Developer response:** Hi, MediWear has recently been rebuilt so previous issues should no longer exist. I invite you to test out this new version and if you are still experiencing issues then please email: info@adamfoot.uk. Please consider updating your review otherwise :)

### 1/5 — Crash and burn

*2016-09-30*

This app was great when I got it, but now every time I try to update the info from the app to my Watch it just crashes. 

Tried rebooting both devices and trying to update, failed. Tried uninstalling from both devices and reinstalling and updating, failed. 

And now for some reason when you try to go to the developer's site it circles back to the App Store. 

Please fix.

**Developer response:** Hi, MediWear has recently been rebuilt so previous issues should no longer exist. I invite you to test out this new version and if you are still experiencing issues then please email: info@adamfoot.uk. Please consider updating your review otherwise :)
