Sometimes it’s avoiding, sometimes i just can’t remember if I already did. This has helped me keep track like no other way has. I have done alarms, pill cassettes, etc. This has been my longest success run. And it’s free which is nice. ### 5/5 — very slay *2026-08-21, version 1.52* i love this ### 5/5 — Delightful *2026-08-18, version 1.52* Such a nice app ### 5/5 — Cute way to track my meds! *2026-08-14, version 1.51* I love this little guy. He’s not just cute. He’s helpful. I haven’t missed a pill since I started Using this app. I also use it to track my pain management as well as water intake. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-10, version 1.51* This is sooooo helpful and I can really appreciate that it’s free as well. Something so useful!!! ### 5/5 — 100% recommend *2026-08-08, version 1.51* I’ve downloaded so many pill tracker apps, and every time after you finally set everything up, after all the questions and personal details your punched in the face with a “pay our monthly subscription to unlock full access to our app” where pill buddy doesn’t do that!!! It’s free, has not adds, and doesn’t make you pay for a simple reminder for your (mental or physical) health. I finally feel like I’ve found the app I’m going to be using for as long as I’m on my meds for :) And it’s super cute 🥰 and friendly, you can even change the personality which is inviting and actually make me want to take my meds :) For the app devs: Thank you so much for creating this absolute amazing app. It really has helped me, as someone who suffers from bipolar ll and can’t even remember simple things this is such a fantastic help! ❤️ ### 5/5 — Fun App *2026-08-06, version 1.51* I never had an app that made med time so much fun. This is the best reminder app ever. It even calls you to remind you to take your meds. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-08-05, version 1.51* So I have tried so many pill reminders. I have to take pills every few hours through out the day. This app is fantastic because it shows non stop on my phone till I take it. Most apps alert you a few times and that’s it. I was constantly forgetting that’s not the case anymore ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-05, version 1.51* So cute yet has all the right options and professional ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-08-05, version 1.50* I love this app & I haven't missed my meds since I began using it! I have epilepsy so taking my meds on time is very important to ensure I keep my seizures u def control as much as possible and that I dont have any extra seizures or worsening seizures caused by my meds being late or missed! I also have several other chronic health issues and I also make sure I take all of those meds as well on time so it's great to have a reminder that keeps reminding until its taken! The heat feature is the phone call, that ensures I dont miss the alarm! I recommend this app to everyone who has meds and needs to take them on time & may have issues forgetting to take them! ### 5/5 — Perfect Fun App *2026-08-04, version 1.50* This app is great for helping be keep track of my medication after my ankle surgery and also helps me stay chipper even when recovery can be depressing! ### 5/5 — I love it *2026-08-01, version 1.50* It helps me to take my medicine every day and it makes me feel better ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-31, version 1.50* The cutest app ever! I chose sarcastic and it makes me laugh every time I get a text or call ### 5/5 — Love this app, just wish... *2026-07-30, version 1.50* First, I want to say I adore this app. I have a tendency to forget my meds often, and had tried the health app to no avail. Pill Buddy is just incessant enough that I remember and can actually go back and see when I last took my meds so I'm not just guessing. I also appreciate the log for pain, mood, water intake, etc. It's nice to have everything centered in an app and not have to constantly switch and worry where my symptoms and med log are backed up. The only thing I wish is that there was a nausea tracker. However, that is a personal preference and not a flaw in the app so my rating still stands at 5 stars. Thank you for such a wonderful app that genuinely makes a difference in my day to day life. 💕 ### 5/5 — A Thoughtfully Made App *2026-07-28, version 1.50* Ive really enjoyed using Pill Buddy to keep track of medications and mood. The app is simple, helpful, fun, and feels very thoughtfully made. I appreciate how kind and responsive the developer is. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into this app. Thank you for creating such a helpful tool! 😊 ### 5/5 — Very nice *2026-07-27, version 1.50* This app is very nice and I like it ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-07-26, version 1.50* Fantastic ### 5/5 — Love it!!! *2026-07-26, version 1.50* Love this app in every way!! ### 5/5 — Love it!!! *2026-07-24, version 1.50* Great app!

You won’t be sorry! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cute pill reminder’s to you and *2026-07-01, version 1.49* , d This is so cute ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-06-17, version 1.48* I barely download it and it’s not opening, please fit it ### 1/5 — Mostly a bother than a reminder. *2026-05-27, version 1.45* Too clingy and annoying. It felt like a clingy ex or a piece of gum you can’t get rid of. The app is way too much. ### 1/5 — Filled with bugs *2026-03-06, version 1.34* Tried this app out and it is filled with bugs. I’d record my meds and would still get alerts and notifications. Also couldn’t change reminders when my medications changed so I was forced to use skip. ### 1/5 — No go *2026-02-20, version 1.31* It didn’t even remind me to take Truilcity ### 2/5 — App *2026-05-27, version 1.45* Worked great for 3 days. I loved it showed on phone screen until I marked I took my pills. After 3 days it stopped showing up on my phone. I got the call once at time pill was due but I never see that. I wanted it on the screen continuously reminding me until I took it. I didn’t change any settings so I don’t know why it’s not working anymore. ### 3/5 — Great app but…. *2026-09-04, version 1.55* this is the only app that has helped me got on schedule with taking my medication! the only down side is that u can only keep streaks with medication that u take everyday.. I got this app to track my medication that i take twice a week and I would love if that was counted as a streak. it might also help people to keep taking their meds! just a heads up! ### 3/5 — Nearly perfect *2026-07-07, version 1.49* I really like this app but there are a couple of things that make it not ideal. First off, it’s not discreet AT ALL. I don’t want people to be aware that I’m taking medication and so when the phone calls would come in with a giant PILL BUDDY name on my screen I found myself super anxious about getting found out. And did a few times. So There’s no discretion filter which I hate. Even on the Home Screen and in the Notification Center. I also find the user face to be a bit too juvenile for my taste. I’m an adult, and signing in to tap a giant oversized colored egg wasn’t the biggest flex for me. I would’ve preferred the option to change the buddy look. Otherwise it’s really great if you’re someone who needs a constant reminder throughout the day. ### 3/5 — Notifications are a bit creepy *2026-03-27, version 1.35* I love the idea and concept of the app and it is a good app but some of the notifications are creepy, saying things like “I'm going to find you in person” and other things which sometimes put me on edge. ### 3/5 — Pill buddy *2026-03-13, version 1.34* It’s still a trio with me it’s a little bit tricky learning how to use it for putting all the med in I take. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2026-09-07, version 1.55* We found out recently my son has a genetic disorder called CAH and his medicine times are very strict. This app has helped me and my husband tremendously with keeping up with doses! ### 5/5 — Worth getting if you struggle remembering. *2026-09-05, version 1.55* Very good. Useful for anybody like me who tends to forget to take their meds sometimes. I love the calling feature too. This little pill will HARASS you until you take your medication(s) for the day and i love that. ### 5/5 — Finally something that helps *2026-09-05, version 1.55* Until now, I was absolutely fighting with my mental health because every time I missed my anti-depressant, my reaction to the missed dose was more and more dire. I was on the verge of not being able to take them, until I found this app. I’ll forever be thankful for it! ### 5/5 — Best app I’ve found!! *2026-09-01, version 1.54* It’s wonderful to have an app to remind me to take my medicine. I have to take multiple medications multiple times a week and this helps so much to keep on track with what I’ve taken or need to take still. I love how cute it is too!! Not so boring like every single other app out there. Cannot recommend enough! ### 5/5 — Works great! *2026-09-01, version 1.54* Cute helpful tool for meds and blood pressure ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-08-31, version 1.54* Helps my tired self remember ### 5/5 — love *2026-08-30, version 1.54* super cute, super helpful, tracking my meals and walks and such too on here and put the widget on every screen ### 5/5 — Actually helped me *2026-08-30, version 1.54* Okay, so it’s a little weird sometimes when it calls you to remind you but I love this app otherwise! My wife has stopped yelling at me to take my pills because this app reminds me morning and night! I like how you can put if you skipped a med, and it doesn’t ask questions. I like the reminders and little widgets that make him angry until you do your meds. Having other options like water intake or steps is great too cause it reminds me to take care of myself in other ways! Amazing for being free!!! ### 5/5 — Great friend to have to help you with remembering *2026-08-26, version 1.52* I used the free version for medication taking, water and pain levels after a multiple teeth extraction. I was on pain meds plus antibiotics and my every day meds this helped me o tracking and making sure my pain was controlled and my meds were being taken as prescribed. Thanks for making this so easy 😌 ### 5/5 — great app ! *2026-08-23, version 1.52* i love this app, it makes taking medicine and tracking it less boring. the different personalities you can choose for the buddy are nice and i like being able to change what buddy wears etc. very good job ! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
