### 4/5 — Good app

*2025-03-15, version 4.5.0*

Good app.  Would be better if injectables that are given weekly or every two weeks could be included.  Also if number of pills could be greater.  In my family one person takes one prescription 3 tabs 4 times a day and we get 90 day prescriptions and the app will not allow that number of pills to be entered.  Place for prescription number should be on first page.

### 4/5 — Works well, could use UI change

*2024-11-30, version 4.3.2*

This app is fairly reliable and does what it needs to do. The UI needs done updating on the colors and fonts but ok. This last version added another layer to the interface so that I always have to pick the list to see. Great if u need to handle multiple lists. However I only have one which it should recognize or allow me to mark a default list!

### 4/5 — New version

*2024-10-30*

Brian.  I just updated to your new version.  I am trying to create a new prescription list.   I clicked on the plus and was able to enter the new name but I can’t find how to save it.  Won’t let me use. Return or enter on the keyboard and I see no button to save.  I can’t close the keyboard to see if there is a save button under it.  Help.  I really like the changes made in this version.  Thanks for making a simple excessively useful app.

### 5/5 — ONE IF THE BEST APPS I HAVE EVER USED!

*2024-07-02*

I have to keep track of three different peoples prescriptions and that is not easy.  Until now it was a weekly thing going through prescriptions for refill dates. NOT ANY MORE!  The app tells me when it’s time to fill medications. Talk about a time saver!

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed!

*2023-07-05, version 3.3*

The only thing my Apple Health App is missing is a way to track my prescription refills.  This app simply does it!  No fuss, no extras.  Perfect.

### 4/5 — Great app but needs more options

*2023-05-12, version 3.3*

Such an awesome app and great to keep track of pills remaining.  Just wish I could use for multiple individuals and that I could have unlimited amount of medications per person.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2022-09-05, version 3.3*

I’m on loads of meds that all run out at different times, and it’s hard to keep track of reordering them. This handy little app does the job perfectly.

### 3/5 — Give it a try

*2020-07-04, version 3.3*

I just downloaded this and will give it a try. I already found a few limitations that make it difficult. 
1. I have found that sometimes after entering information in the Notes field and saving it, I go back later and find all my notes have disappeared. 
2. If I use the app switcher from the app in order to look up information in another app, after going back to this app, I’m back to the splash screen and all the data I entered for a prescription is gone. I have to start all over again. Grrrrrr.....
3. In the Notes area, there are no select, select all, copy, paste functions! Why?? Some information about a pill may be in another app and I want to paste it into the Notes!
4. It would be nice to be able to take a photo of a prescription label or even the pill and save it in the app.
5. How about the ability to sync across devices?

### 3/5 — Landscape View?

*2020-04-07, version 3.3*

Can this app be viewed in landscape mode on my iPad?  Looks like friendly Rx tracking app but landscape presentation would be more suitable for my device.  Thank you.

### 5/5 — Amazing application but currently unusable

*2019-04-08, version 3.2*

This application has everything that we would have wanted however at this point in the software update cycle it is simply unusable (maybe because of updated iOS 12.1.4?). Specifically, there is a significant amount of delay between taping an icon and app response. Is anyone else having this issue?
Otherwise is is such an amazing application!
Thank you so much dear developer for taking the time to create this app!!!

### 3/5 — Missing a needed feature

*2018-11-19, version 3.2*

I need to monitor twice monthly injections, and the Doses option doesn’t go higher than a week. It’s a shame because it’s otherwise a simple, effective app. I can use it to track other medications I’m on but it kind of defeats the purpose when I cannot track everything in one place.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Update caused losing everything

*2024-10-31, version 4.0*

Ther was an apparent automatic update that caused losing all information that I have entered for years. NOTHING was saved!!

### 1/5 — Awful and dated looking

*2021-01-18, version 3.3*

can’t even put the first date in. Had to delete app looks dated and cheaply made

### 1/5 — Date format

*2020-10-18, version 3.3*

Please allow date format to be reconfigured to that used outside the US.

### 1/5 — Not ready for iPhone XR... or me, for that matter

*2018-12-26, version 3.2*

First, let me I’d really like to be able use this app.  Two things prevent me from doing that.

The XR notch wipes out half the “menu” across the top of the app’s home screen.  Makes it difficult to get things done.

Also, for us old codgers, 16 prescriptions may cover our morning doses.  I take 30 different meds a day.  I haven’t got to the point where I need a pill reminder but a refill /renewal reminder is a godsend. 

This is the second time I gave this app a whirl (as I noticed it was recently updated for IOS 12).  I’d like to use this app.  Heck, I would pony up money if my needs were met.

I used to an app, iRxHelper/RxHelper, that did a great job of managing prescription refills and renewals.  It was suddenly pulled from the App Store.  When I recently upgraded to the iPhone XR - poof.. it was gone.

### 2/5 — Ideal App

*2025-09-30, version 5.1.1*

I love this App.  I can no longer recall how many years I’ve used it.  
I do have a need.  Some of my prescription alert dates are not showing on the Calendar.  9/3 -  still cannot get an accurate “last full dose day.”

Great app
Craig

Just opened app today and all my data is scrambled; 9/29/25; what do I do?

### 2/5 — Not As Good As I Hoped

*2025-01-21, version 4.4.7*

I’m 77yo and take 7 prescription medications, so I hoped this app would help me know when I needed to ask for a refill. Well it stalled and then it only took 4 prescriptions and I gave up when I entered a prescription and it wasn’t there.

### 2/5 — Needs help- not reliable - does not save info

*2020-01-23, version 3.3*

I save rx info but the app is not saving it officially so loses all info I put into system for each rx
I entered one rx weeks Go and it was fine but entering my second one does not work 

Also the person’s profile name is not showing with rx on the home page 
I thought more than one person’s rxs were able to be saved 
Confusing home page 

Saving feature needs to be more clear by actually adding an icon 
Otherwise you forget to save when you close the app

Great concept
Needs a lot of help & better customer support 
Customer care is just a generic coding site so I’m not even sure if anyone is even monitoring this app anymore which is a shame 
Bc I’d like to use the app but can’t rely on it until certain features are updated or fixed.....

### 2/5 — Anxiously awaiting update

*2017-02-23, version 1.0*

I love the concept, but I entered one medication and now when I open the app, I can't get past the splash screen. Also, pretty please add a field to track refills!

### 3/5 — Can set date you were prescribed last which is exactly what I needed - but issues

*2025-02-15, version 4.4.7*

This is the only app that provides this function. I want to know the date to better set reminders. However it doesn’t allow me to add the med. I fill out the form and then the only button I see is a back arrow. I go back to the main page and it’s not in my med list.

### 3/5 — Stopped working

*2024-07-04, version 3.3*

This is the most simple, best app to remind me to refill my medication prescription and I’ve relied on it for quite some time. Other apps force you to remember to tell them you’ve taken your medication each day, taking my medication is not my issue, remembering to refill is, so they all just annoy me.

Unfortunately it has ceased to function for the past few months and uninstalling and reinstalling hasn’t solved it.

I love this App.  I can no longer recall how many years I’ve used it.  
I do have a need.  Some of my prescription alert dates are not showing on the Calendar.  9/3 -  still cannot get an accurate “last full dose day.”

**Developer response:** I am happy to hear that you love the app.  Version 5.1.1 has a new feature that includes an RX list that a Health provider can use their copy machine to copy all your prescriptions.  David

### 5/5 — In response to BethmomRN.

*2025-06-02, version 4.9.0*

I use this app to keep track of everything prescription.   I put the prescription number after the name of the medication.  I also place a note with what pharmacy the prescription is at along with how much I paid.  Works well for me.

### 5/5 — Trustworthy

*2025-05-18, version 4.9.0*

Not overly complicated.  Simple and trust worthy.  It will keep sending you messages until you answer it… lol

### 5/5 — Ideal

*2025-01-17, version 4.4.7*

Does exactly what’s needed

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-12-06*

This works well.  It’s easy to use and it’s recently updated.  I’ve been using it since it first came out.  It does exactly what it says - tracks prescriptions.

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking time to write a review and give this app 5 stars.   Keeping this app SIMPLE was the #1 focus of this app, while providing an effective tool for reminding a person to get their medicine refilled, before running out.

### 5/5 — Very Useful

*2024-11-28, version 4.3.2*

One of the things I like about this app is that it lets me know when the last day of when my prescription runs out. I know that I can go in and pick it up the week before that. I also like that it keeps track of the pills I’ve missed, but doesn’t include that in the regular prescription run out date. For me it has been very helpful.

### 5/5 — Longtime App

*2024-11-26, version 4.3.2*

I have used this prescription app for over 5 years now.. Simple, easy to use. Keeps me up to date when I have to order prescriptions. New update makes it so easy to see how many left in your prescription bottle, love that feature! Thanks for a great app!

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-11-07*

Since resolving two minor issues (Brian responded in a timely fashion) I can now edit this review.  This app is simple to use and I especially like the addition of the ability to have multiple lists.  I created one for my as needed prescriptions. They are now out of my routine medication list but still able to track them.  Thanks for this app.

**Developer response:** Update 4/11. ---  All issues have been corrected.  I believe that you will find this version 4.9,   UP to YOUR EXPECTATIONS!!  ----

### 5/5 — New version

*2024-11-04*

Brian.  I just updated to your new version.  I am trying to create a new prescription list.   I clicked on the plus and was able to enter the new name but I can’t find how to save it.  Won’t let me use. Return or enter on the keyboard and I see no button to save.  I can’t close the keyboard to see if there is a save button under it.  Help.  I really like the changes made in this version.  Thanks for making a simple excessively useful app.

UPDATE. Thanks for the response.  I got it to work.  How we, now I have a notification that there is something pending (small number on the app icon similar to the one that appears on your telephone icon).  I have clicked everything and can’t get it to go away. Any more suggestions oh wise one.

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2024-10-30, version 4.0*

Nice app for it’s purpose thank you
