### 3/5 — Useful

*2026-05-27*

A useful app which keeps track of customizable medications. Lets itself down by notifications being almost unnoticeable.

### 5/5 — Muito bom

Muito bom, ajuda em não deixar passar os medicamentos.

### 1/5 — 垃圾广告

*2026-01-06*

一点都不好用，广告太多

### 5/5 — I use it to also track my symptoms

*2025-12-16*

In the notes under the medicine I can notate my symptoms. This is great for doctors visits. I entered headaches as a drug because I have migraines so recurrently and it helps me to be able to see how often they are happening and to be able to notate the triggers. I have several chronic illnesses and I use this app religiously. It prevents me from overdosing because when you take medicine regularly you sometimes forget if you took it at 3 today or was that yesterday that you took it at 3? I can just open the app and look. I try to track the medicine when I’m taking it and feel I have made it a habit. I love this app.
