About

MyNextDose

Read full description

Managing chronic conditions every day with a variety of medications can be extremely challenging. Anxiety over missed doses or if it's safe to take a painkiller is a real problem. What this app provides is an intuitive interface for managing your regular medication and recording your doses. Medication can either be taken as needed (with a configurable waiting period), or taken at specific times of the day. You will receive an alert when it's time to take your medication again. Many reminder applications come with a noisy interface that is difficult to understand, MyNextDose only shows you the information you need, while closely following Apple's UI Guidelines. If you have a phone number or website that you regularly use to re-order your prescription, you can add it as a shortcut on the app's homescreen! Why use this app over other options in the App store? 1. No user accounts - no need to create yet another password just to access your medication information 2. Data Privacy - as a developer, I will never see your medication or your dosage history, all information is stored on your device 3. Minimalist but elegant interface - everything you need is in the main view 4. Safely take medications as-needed with confidence - you know exactly when you took the last one 5. No in-app purchases or subscriptions - this will remain for the lifetime of the app NOTE: This app does not offer medical advice. Safe timing of medication is the responsibility of the user, and should be based on the instructions included in prescribed medication.
