### 2/5 — used to be good but last update is bad

*2025-12-29, version 3.9.2*

now you need to create an account and they want to charge you.  there are other free apps available now that work easier and faster.  i’m not a professional. i just need to count pills once or twice a month. i get charging for mass use. 

the new update also seems to have terms that will reduce privacy.

### 4/5 — 필아이 어떻게 하나

*2025-03-15, version 3.2.3*

강력한 무료 경쟁자 필렌즈가 나타나서…

### 1/5 — Not worth the cost

*2024-12-31, version 3.2.0*

This app was great when it was truly free. The free account only allows 10 photos. $25.99 to use this is a joke! I loved the app when it was free and used it for my inventory counts. I will never pay $25 a month. Guess it’s time to delete

### 1/5 — Overpriced

*2024-11-20, version 3.1.2*

These guys are dreaming, why would pharmacy pay $50/month for using a basic software? Competitors like pillphill charges $2/month I am willing to pay may be $5/month for some added features like cloud or ai but definitely not $50, I can also buy a professional counter with no monthly subscription for less than $1000 anyway.

### 4/5 — 라이브기능 좋은데

*2024-11-17*

### 1/5 — Ruined the app

*2024-11-15, version 3.1.2*

After this update this app has become a glitchy unusable cash cows. Full of ads, it freezes all the time and has super weird glitches. Not worth paying for this

### 4/5 — Wonderful

*2024-11-02, version 3.0.7*

The app is excellent at pill counting which makes dispensing and stock take easier.
But why is it so content heavy?
So much loading and stalling and tapping when all I need to do is count pills quickly in a pinch.
The heaviness of the app sort of negates it's convenience.

### 2/5 — Can’t continue after recent update

*2024-10-13*

I would have previously given the app 4 stars for its excellent core functionality but high monthly fee and apparent lack of a few minor convenience features.*

When I launched the app yesterday, I was prompted to update to a new version, which seems to be worse in almost every imaginable way:

The app feels slower/worse. The refresh rate of the camera has been cut, so even slight movement caused by an unsteady hand can be enough to cause blurring. The processing time after snapping a picture feels consistently longer than before, and perhaps worst of all, the counting seems less accurate than before. In the small sample size of two days using the new version, I noticed two or three cases of pills not being counted, which almost never happened before.

As a result, an app that I liked but thought was rather expensive is now an app that I am unlikely to continue using.

* Is there not a feature to do a running count? If I’m counting to 360 and it’s going to take me three or four pictures to get there, I always have to get out a calculator or pen and paper to add up the values.

### 3/5 — Recent update - 10-12-2024

*2024-10-13, version 3.0.3*

The app has been very beneficial, before the sub was just around 10 bucks per month but now it’s increased significantly to around 20-25 bucks.

The most recent update on 10-12-2024 states there has been performance upgrades as well as bug fixes. However I feel as if it has introduced additional bugs as well as performance degradation. 

The camera keeps backing out to the homescreen and freezes on a blank/black screen, not only that but I have noticed that the time to get the final results has increased a few seconds.

Another point to make is that the app takes a lower resolution image which has probably been made to “increase performance” however it makes it harder for the user to make out the pills that are close to each other.

The last pet peeve that I have about the app is the fact that I’ve been having to constantly keep re-logging into my account every few hours.

### 1/5 — Slow, almost useless

*2024-10-01*

Requires a 5 to 8 seconds delay when opening app. This is while it loads, then connects to account, then transmits your data, then prepares Home Screen. It does not jump right to the camera to count. Counting is the only reason anyone tries the app. And this app only counts a few times before asking for money and blocking further use. No one needs to save counts in their phone or manage inventory in their phone. It is not going to save anyone’s life or job to keep pictures of counts, especially since this app is not compliant with any laws or workplace regulations. “Ten counts” is insufficient for even 5 minutes of work. While you take 30 seconds to load, employees want to move to the next customer. You are just too slow and limited.

**Developer response:** We apologize for any inconvenience you’ve experienced with our app. Please email us at help@pilleye.com with your device model and internet connection status, and we'll assist you promptly.

### 4/5 — Great For Quick Accurate Pill Counts

*2024-08-10*

This app has helped me tremendously at my job with counting Clients medications. It’s brought my pill count time down from an hour and a half to 45 mins. This app is very accurate! I love that every pill that it counts it marks it on the screen with a green dot. You also can save the medication your counting for a back up reference. So if there is an error you can go back to this app for reference. I suggest anyone that has to count medications for their job to download this app cause it’s a life saver and time saver!

**Developer response:** Thank you for choosing PillEye! We're glad to be of help to you. We will continue to be an app that supports all users. Should you have any inquiries, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at [help@pilleye.com].

### 2/5 — Price Increase Disappointment

*2024-08-01*

I have used this app for almost 2 years completely for free as a medical professional. I was ok with the change to being a paid service when I got the notification that a subscription is required for more than a certain amount of counts per day. I clicked on it fully intending to sign up and pay maybe $5ish per month to continue to use the app. I was absolutely shocked at the $25 per month fee. I will not be subscribing. I think a more affordable fee would bring a lot more subscribers. I will be looking for more affordable option that I can use more than a few counts per day.

**Developer response:** Thank you for using PillEye. We are currently offering monthly subscription services to provide you with better service. We are doing our best to ensure that you do not feel burdened financially. We appreciate your continued support and interest in our ever-improving services and features. Thank you.

### 1/5 — $35 per month??

*2024-07-19, version 2.1.0*

I was a loyal user of this app, but it’s become like every other app except the dev isn’t shy about price gouging.

Anyone who wants a counting app should just get Med Counter, which loads and counts instantly, doesn’t require an account, doesn’t save patient data, doesn’t break the law.

I saw your response. “Ten counts” is insufficient for even 5 minutes of work. While you take 30 seconds to load, employees want to move to the next customer. You must are just too slow and limited.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not good

*2026-04-28, version 3.13.0*

Requires you make an account, then logs you out. If you don’t have good Internet access this app is useless.

Update: Developer responded by saying pill eye requires an account and Internet connection for “security” but if it was about security, nothing would leave the device at all, no Internet would be required and an account also completely unnecessary for security.

### 1/5 — Just a blank white screen

*2026-03-01, version 3.12.0*

During stocktake of all times. Useless AF.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2025-11-14, version 3.9.0*

Won’t work AT ALL, and I pay for the subscription!!! When open app it loads a white screen. Clicked on support and there is NO OPTION to report issues!!! Looked at FAQ and uninstalled and redownloaded and that still didn’t work!!!😡😡😡

### 1/5 — Miss counts

*2025-10-09, version 3.7.1*

If your pills are singular in color it’s good for the most part. If you have multiple color capsules it will miss count every time.

### 1/5 — This app is trash…

*2025-06-21, version 3.4.1*

Move to Pillscan, completely unlimited photo and Live scan.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2025-06-11, version 3.3.3*

Requires you make an account, then logs you out. If you don’t have good Internet access this app is useless.

### 1/5 — Ruined

*2025-06-06, version 3.3.3*

A previously useful app that has been ruined because it somehow needs to connect to a network to take a pic now. Takes forever to do something I needed done 5 minutes ago. Unusable for me in practice. I’m deleting it.

### 1/5 — Slow

*2025-04-02, version 3.2.3*

The app slow and also very expensive for what it does. Do not recommend

### 1/5 — Was great, now doesn’t work

*2025-03-05, version 3.2.2*

I loved this app as a double check on counts, but will not pull up when opened. Have tried updating and completely removing app and reinstalling. Nothing

### 1/5 — Paywall

*2025-01-01, version 3.2.0*

Paywall made this basically useless. You now pay $25 a month to get features you used to have for free. Thanks for the rug pull on our family’s clinic.

### 5/5 — This is on point

*2025-09-12, version 3.6.0*

Literally you have to lay the pills flat they can not be stacked 
, they count them live and with a photo honestly the best app I used to count out over 1000s of pills

### 5/5 — Best is class as of today

*2025-06-18, version 3.4.0*

The live mode with discard tray recognition is amazingly accurate and so useful in daily pill counting.  Even when considering the high monthly price, it’s more easy and fast to use than any other app alike in the App Store

### 5/5 — Solid app!

*2024-10-12*

Great app. I think I’ve counted 400 tiny tablets at once with picture mode. I wish there was a one time payment option for the full app instead of a sub but it is what it is.

### 5/5 — Super helpful

*2024-04-23*

I got recommended this app from one of my doctors since I’m always in a rush especially when counting the small pills that are a pain to count and this app is very accurate to manually counting from the amount of time I’ve used it. I would highly recommend this app since it hasn’t failed me yet😫
