The Tablet app will remind you to take your medicines at the right time, prescribed by you. You can configure up to 5 notifications per drug. Track how much is left before the completion of the course of admission. The application will also calculate how many tablets are needed for the course, depending on how many tablets to take at a time, how many times a day, and the duration of administration in days. Usually the recipe contains the number of days, not the dates; in the application, you also need to specify the number of days to repeat reminders.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: BC Pill Reminder at 4.5 against Tablet's 3.7. BC Pill Reminder also leads on ratings volume (295 vs 3). Tablet's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BC Pill Reminder holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BC Pill Reminder has 295 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of BC Pill Reminder's written reviews are positive against 40% of Tablet's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BC Pill Reminder ships an update weekly, Tablet every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
