Terrible

This app will remind you to take doses you’ve already marked taken.

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to report this, and sorry for the frustration. You were right: Pillio could still send the "missed dose" reminder, or the "Time for Medication" alert if you took a dose early, for a dose you had already marked as taken. We found the cause and fixed it in the next update (version 1.6.1). As soon as you confirm or skip a dose, whether from the notification or in the app, its remaining reminders are cancelled, and alerts already on your Lock Screen are cleared. We hope you'll give Pillio another try once the update is available, and if anything still isn't right, please let us know.

Эпл – хорошо

Спасибо за ваш отзыв! Мы рады, что вам нравится Pillio. Мы постоянно работаем над улучшением приложения.

Easy Setup

Helpful free app for someone who has to take multiple pills at different times of the day. Great for personal use or for caretakers.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your kind words and 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear that Pillio is proving to be a helpful tool for managing multiple medications. We appreciate you highlighting its usefulness for both personal use and for caretakers!

In need of features/early stages

Definitely think it’s in need of features. Tried to test it by making a notification in 3 minutes, no notif, nothing. I currently use Alarmy which forces me to take a picture of the med in my hand before it dismisses. I was expecting similar features here, but I could find nothing of the sort.

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to write this — you found a real bug, not a missing feature. The reminder you set for 3 minutes genuinely never fired. A scheduling issue could silently cancel reminders shortly after they were created, and a separate timing bug affected reminders set only a few minutes ahead. Both are fixed in version 1.6.0. Two things in that update come directly from your review: • Photo confirmation — exactly the flow you described. Confirming a dose asks for a photo of the medication in your hand, and missed-dose reminders keep insisting until you confirm. It's in Settings › Notifications (part of the premium features). • A "send a test notification" button, so you never have to create a fake medication just to check that reminders actually reach you. If you give Pillio another try after updating, I'd genuinely like to know whether it holds up for you.

Problem

Alarm did not sound next day

Response from developer

Hi, and thank you for flagging this — you're right, and we're sorry the reminder let you down. We tracked down the cause: in some cases Pillio's daily reminders weren't rescheduling themselves for the following days unless the app was reopened. It's fixed in the next update (1.4.1): daily reminders now repeat reliably on their own, every day, even if you don't open the app. We're also adding a louder, alarm-style alert that can sound through Silent mode and Focus. Please update when 1.4.1 lands — and thank you for helping make Pillio better.

Alarm

There is no where to set an alarm on an iPad

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback, and sorry for the confusion! You can set a reminder/alarm in Pillio: tap the blue + button in the center of the bottom bar, add your medication, and choose its reminder time(s) under "Schedule" — Pillio then notifies you at those times (just make sure notifications are allowed, or turn them on in Settings → Notification Settings). You were right that this wasn't obvious. Our next update makes it much clearer where to set your reminders, and adds Dark Mode and full accessibility support (VoiceOver, Dynamic Type). A dedicated iPad layout is on the way too. Thanks for helping us improve!

Not Notifying

It’s been three days. I put in both my medications and kept an eye on it just to be sure. So far, I have yet to get a notification for any of the medication times.. This app claims to be free to be notified for one profile and that’s all I needed it to do. And it’s not doing it! I have verified all settings in my phone, I have rebooted three times, and yet I hear/see nothing at the appropriate time. Useless piece of software.

Response from developer

We're truly sorry — medication reminders have to work, full stop, and we take this seriously. We found and fixed a bug that could stop reminders from being scheduled (for example, if notification permission was ever changed in iOS Settings, the app didn't always re-schedule them) — the fix is in the update we're rolling out now. In the meantime, two things that usually help: make sure Notifications are allowed for Pillio (Settings → Pillio → Notifications, with "Time Sensitive" on), and check that a Focus / Do Not Disturb isn't silencing them. If you email our support team, we'll personally make sure your reminders work and make this right. Thank you for your patience, and sorry again.

Not free

Thanks for reaching out! Pillio offers a free version with core features and a premium option for advanced tracking. We aim to provide valuable tools for medication management.

Useless for Post-Op Pain Management

I like the simple interface of the app, but it inexplicably seems to skip overnight alerts and doses with no option in its settings to circumvent this.

I had two simple over the counter drugs programmed. Tylenol 1 g every 6 hours, ibuprofen 600 mg every 8 hours. The times it calculated were wrong in that it would skip overnight doses, which defeats the purpose.

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you appreciate the simple interface. We've looked into the overnight alert issue you experienced and believe it has been fixed in our latest update. We hope this resolves the problem and improves your experience with Pillio.

Annoying

I wished I could get into same one that is on my phone without spending money

Плохо

Если пропустить прием одной таблетки (не нажать «принять» или «пропустить»), то напоминания о последующих приемах не будет. Если пропустил одну, есть шанс пропустить последующие.

Response from developer

Спасибо за ваш отзыв и сообщение об ошибке. Она будет исправлена в следующем обновлении приложения.
