Pill Bee is a pharmacy pill counting and verification app designed for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. Using your iPad's camera (or an external USB-C camera), Pill Bee uses on-device AI to detect and count pills in real time on your counting tray. Key Features (free with 75 trial counts): - Real-time AI pill detection and counting - Swipe-to-save workflow for fast record keeping - Local database for count records - Front-facing camera headshot capture per count Pill Bee Pro (subscription required — $9.99/month): - Unlimited pill counting after free trial Pill Bee requires an iPad 11inch A16 with iPadOS 16 or later. For best results, use with an external USB-C camera mounted above your counting tray. Pill Bee can work entirely offline — all pill detection runs on-device using CoreML. Subscription payment is charged to your Apple ID account. Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions.

The SETTINGS button is back on the home screen, and the Settings and Logout buttons on the welcome panel now work. Admins can now re-run the store setup guide at any time from Settings, without reinstalling the app. ### 2.5 — 2026-08-10 Pill Bee now runs on iPhone — and the iPad experience got a major overhaul. NEW: PILL BEE FOR IPHONE Count anywhere with just your phone. No stand, no external camera, no setup — hold your iPhone over a tray and start counting. • Everything stays on your device. Counts, images, and Rx data are stored locally and are never uploaded anywhere. • Works in portrait or landscape, whichever way you hold it • Scan a label and Pill Bee reads the medication, Rx #, and quantity for you • Full count history with a frame-by-frame replay of every count, searchable by Rx # or drug name • 250 free counts to try it out VIRTUAL TRAY No pharmacy tray handy? Turn on Virtual Tray and Pill Bee counts pills on any surface — ideal for trying Pill Bee, training a new technician, or showing a colleague what it does. A NEW WAY TO COUNT ON IPAD • Open Cam Mode: the camera is always live and always counting. Scan when you want, pour when you're ready. • Automatic label reading captures quantity, medication (NDC), and Rx # • Optional safeguards: require a scanned label before counting begins, and choose exactly which fields must be captured first • Use More: multi-tray fills for large quantities • Double Count from anywhere — the home screen, mid-count, or right after you finish a count A BETTER FIRST DAY A new setup guide walks you through your camera, your workflow, and how you like to count. Every technician chooses their own fun level — from all-business to full celebration. CELEBRATIONS, YOUR WAY Count-verified screens, speed medals, and the Pill Bee flyby. All optional, all per-technician. Plus dozens of accuracy, speed, and reliability improvements throughout. ### 2.4.1 — 2026-06-25 What's New in v2.4.1 Redesigned Home Screen A cleaner, more professional dark "honeycomb" look. Your welcome screen now shows live quick-stats that cycle through your highlights — Rx's counted today, lifetime verified fills, accuracy, 100%-accuracy day streaks, and your counting speed. New Last Fill card — tap it to jump straight to that prescription's full details. New Scan Screen Action buttons (Logout, Settings, History, Skip Scan, Free Count, Double Count) are now sleek honeycomb-style tiles. The Scan Rx Label Now button is bigger, brighter, and gently shimmers to catch your eye. A friendly bee now greets you in the corner. Smarter Sign-Out Logging out now hides your personal COUNT tab, photo, and stats — your info stays private when no one's signed in. The app drops to the Swipes list until the next tech logs in. Clearer Scan Modes & Safer Scanning Scanning modes renamed for clarity: Default, Comma or Slash Limiter: NDC, Rx#, Qty, and Rx# Label Scan Only. The new no-delimiter label format (NDC + Rx# + Qty as one barcode) is fully supported, and the app now reliably ignores accidental duplicate label scans so it can't falsely self-verify a bottle. ### 2.4 — 2026-06-11 New design for home screen featuring user swipe information and previous swipe quick link. Addresses potential safety with Medicine Place barcoded label where a double scanned label can self verify the medication. ### 2.3.1 — 2026-06-09 bug fix for when camera intermittently disconnects due to loose cabling, Pill Bee now recovers gracefully without requiring a restart --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
