I have to create all the medications and reminders all over again ☹️ ### 3/5 — Good But Unnecessary Restrictions *2026-07-17, version 5.8* This app is supposed to be an upgrade to the old pill reminder app. I like things like being able to send reports in Excel format or a dedicated doctor’s tab, but the unnecessary restrictions added make me wanna go back to the old app or switch to a new one. This is supposed to be a personal app where you get reminders and track medication, so I don’t understand why there are frustrating restrictions and missing features like not be able to schedule earlier than the original date, only being able to set specific preset decimal values as the dose amount, not being able to delete old scheduled medications even after you change the start date, no longer being able to have silent (no vibration) reminders, not being able to set when older data is deleted, etc. These are all restrictions that only make it harder to customize your experience and record accurately, which was the best thing about the old app imo. However, this app is still otherwise well-designed and still has a lot of the good features from the previous app besides that. ### 3/5 — Good *2026-07-16, version 5.8* It’s good, set it up then realised does not work on Apple Watch, disappointed. ### 3/5 — Change order of meds so I can make sure I took them all on time . And I’m on fodmaps diet so I Nee *2026-03-18, version 5.6* I’m on FODMAPS Diet so I need an app with meds, food, time symptoms what the monash app isn’t that isn’t that great but it’s all the only one out there. Thanks for this one. ### 2/5 — No compatible con anterior *2026-02-20, version 5.6* Soy usuario, muy contento, de la anterior versión 8.4 Al ver esta última, la descargué para ver novedades y, si la veía interesante, migrar toda la cantidad de información de la app antigua a ésta última, pero veo que no hay opción (o no está disponible si no eres premium) Entonces desisto y la desinstalo directamente. No veo necesidad de volver a pagar de nuevo por la misma versión un poco mejorada, cuando para ello podía haberse realizado esto en una actualización y así evitarnos un nuevo pago y, lo peor, tener que volver a pasar manualmente la infinidad de datos como es mi caso. En definitiva un “sacacuartos”. ### 4/5 — Quite useful! *2026-02-15, version 5.5* A great improvement over the last version (double pill icon)! Allows for a lot of flexibility and different ways to organize multiple meds. After many years of using the “double pill” version, I am finally trying to re-input everything into this app. I was SO frustrated that there was no way to transfer my data over from the other app, but I’m finding that it’s worth the effort. ;~) I have one other request of the developer. It would be so helpful if each time a new entry is started, the app could automatically show the last time the med was taken! It would be especially helpful for as-needed meds because it’s always important to know how many hours have passed since the last dose. But even with scheduled meds, I’m not always on-time with dosing, so it would be very useful! Thank you for such a helpful app! 🌺🙏🏽🌸 ### 5/5 — Good App *2026-01-22, version 5.3* I absolutely dislike the Apple Health app and keep it permanently disabled, so I am glad to have this app to remind me to take my medication every day. Thanks for making this app! 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Controlling Reminders *2025-12-27, version 5.3* The Pill Reminder and Med Taker app has really helped me stay on schedule with eating and controlling my daily life. ### 5/5 — I NEVER forget to take my meds! *2025-12-17, version 5.2* Thank you so much for this app. It’s practical cheap simple to use and works like a dream I’ve used it a full year now and I haven’t forgot to take my med once! THANK YOU! ### 4/5 — The best pill app on iOS *2025-11-04, version 5.2* This app is so customizable and amazing I can’t recommend it enough. The developers have been making it for years and are so nice and happily listen to feedback. I’ve used the paid version for so many years because not one single pill reminder app on the App Store comes close! All the app is missing is syncing to the Health app. (Please make an Apple Watch version of the app)! ### 4/5 — The best pill app on iOS *2025-10-21, version 5.2* This app is so customizable and amazing I can’t recommend it enough. The developers have been making it for years and are so nice and happily listen to feedback. I’ve used the paid version for so many years because not one single pill reminder app on the App Store comes close! (Please make an Apple Watch version of the app)! ### 3/5 — Works for everything except GCM’s. *2025-10-14, version 5.2* This app does an excellent job of tracking my prescriptions and when they need refilling EXCEPT the one for my sensors for my Continuous Glucose Monitor. I’ve had to set up 3 separate “medicines” in order to get it done. One for when I’m supposed to ORDER it (including lead time ‘cause NOBODY keeps them in stock) & two for actually USING it, since you alternate which arm you put it in. Part of the problem is that there’s nothing that lets you schedule ONCE A MONTH (as opposed to every 30 days). They’re NOT THE SAME, in spite of what the medical community thinks. If anybody else is interested, let’s see if we can combine our voices and make ourselves heard. ### 5/5 — A very useful app *2025-08-31, version 4.8* I have been using this app for several months now and find it really useful. I am able record all my medications and how I need to take them. The reminders work well and prevent my forgetting my daily tablets. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Classic and top of the class *2025-08-07, version 4.8* This no nonsense application helps us to remain true to our medical practitioners. It has been a fail safe system for me! ### 5/5 — Great Reminder *2025-07-14, version 4.8* When I started having to take daily medications, I was concerned about my discipline. Luckily, I ran into this app that gives me timed and persistent reminders. ### 5/5 — Pill reminder *2025-07-03, version 4.8* I've been using this particular app for years and I'd be hopeless without it! ### 5/5 — Top app best money spent to today *2025-04-27, version 4.5* Best app ever using for past 5 years !!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — How can I take as needed meds and have them on the daily list? *2026-06-29, version 5.8* I have to take daily changes for symptoms like stomach ache or headache there are no instructions on how to do it. It’s ok but when you have anxiety can’t keep remembering the meds you took I take Thryoid, Lexapro etc I want to let my dr know the meds , foods ,symptoms so I can get optimal health. I’m trying to. Write a list I don’t know what’s related to what. I’m so tired if I tell anyone they are frustrated and tell me everyone I went swimming yesterday. Is the exhaustion from that? How can I put the meds for symptoms on the lists ### 1/5 — Notificación de nueva versión *2026-02-13, version 5.5* Utilizo la V8.3 que va de maravilla, llevando con ella años. Sin embargo, a raíz de liberarse la nueva versión, el desarrollador nos machaca insistentemente notificando acerca de esta nueva versión. La única manera de deshacerse de esta molestia, sería desactivando el globo o incluso la notificaciones al completo, con lo cual la APP perdería su sentido. Pido que se suprima esa molesta notificación, y que la nueva versión aparezca entre las mejoras solo si se accede al menú opciones o configuración. Solo doy una estrella por este error tan molesto. ### 1/5 — Pago *2025-10-31* Péssimo! Tem um limite de 3 remédios que você pode colocar no app e mais do que isso precisa pagar. ### 1/5 — Al igual que otros usuarios *2024-10-12, version 3.6* No la uso por no poder migrar de la 1. Difícil de entender. ### 1/5 — Currently stuck. *2023-09-03, version 2.7* When I tried to use the app a request for a review is stuck and I can’t check off that I have taken my medication nor can I navigate the app in any way. I have only had the app for a week. ### 1/5 — Peor que la anterior *2023-01-22, version 2.5* Además de que no puedes pasar los datos de la versión anterior, tiene menos opciones en los medicamentos y recordatorios ### 1/5 — Upgrade *2021-08-30, version 1.9* I was going to upgrade from my original pill reminder that works so well for me but there is no way to restore from one to another. ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2021-08-29, version 1.9* Instead of upgrading an existing app they make you get a new one and re-load everything. ### 1/5 — No sirven los datos de la primera versión *2020-06-20, version 1.5* Tengo la primera App y al ver esta que se guardaban los datos en iCloud me la descargué y compré el Premium pensando de que con una copia por correo podría traspasar todos mis datos que son muchos pero me sorprendo de que no son compatibles podrían ser compatibles ya que tengo muchísima medicación y sería un engorro pasármela otra vez, si se soluciona este pequeño inconveniente las 5 estrellas están ganadas. ### 1/5 — What’s the difference between versions? *2020-06-12, version 1.4* I don’t get it, ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best app *2026-08-06, version 5.8* I have tried other medication reminders. This by far the best app. ### 5/5 — Absolutely Brilliant *2026-08-06, version 5.8* I use this app everyday love it. ### 5/5 — Brilliant little app! *2026-07-16, version 5.8* I have been using this for over a year now and it’s invaluable. Thank you for not collecting our data too! Also love the fact that we can name our medications ourselves and pretty much edit what we need to. Handy it comes with an appointment reminder as well! My only gripe and it may well be an Apple issue, is that whenever I get a notification from the app it seems to temporarily immobilise other functions on my phone. Not a problem though, as I quickly can go to it and dismiss the notification momentarily until I take my meds. But if there was a way to stop that from happening, that would be good, but then again at least it makes you notice the medication reminder! 😁 ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-07-15, version 5.8* Tracks and reminds perfectly. Makes it all so much easier for multiple med takers 👌 ### 5/5 — Getting to like it *2026-07-13, version 5.8* Only been using for a couple of weeks, it’s easy to use and does the job well. ### 5/5 — great Ap *2026-05-12, version 5.7* better than my previous one. You stealing with a senior and get my meds right. a more descriptive picture of pills would help but not critical thank you ### 5/5 — Great medication reminder app *2026-05-08, version 5.7* This app does everything you are looking for to remind you to take medication. Loads of features too. ### 5/5 — Very good, but needs some tweaks *2026-05-01, version 5.7* I used to use another app that got way too complicated over the years. This app is easy to use and clear to see what was taken or not. I wish each time slot of pills were grouped together, so that rescheduling dose times, skipping or taking them could all be done at once. Currently, you can mark all 3 or more as taken or not, but not reschedule. I can’t find where to adjust the snooze time. The last thing is when I select Take from the watch companion app, it marks them off at the time they were due, not the current time, which is then inaccurate for determining the next pill time. ### 5/5 — Never seen you this happy *2026-03-14, version 5.6* Your beautiful ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-02-25, version 5.6* Super useful. Have used for years. Love the updates. Thanks for keeping the app great! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
