“When did I last give them medicine?” “What was their temperature an hour ago?” Medication Timer began with a middle-of-the-night fever — but households also need everyday schedules and vitals in one trusted place. Coordinate scheduled dose routines, as-needed medication timers, temperature history, and health readings (blood pressure, glucose, SpO₂, INR, and more), with optional Family Care so every caregiver sees the same picture. What you can do - Family profiles: Track every family member in one place. - Scheduled dose routines: Daily, weekly, or hourly patterns with reminders, so planned doses appear on Today alongside everything else happening that day. - Care: When illness strikes, track the whole episode in one place. As-needed timers space medicines like paracetamol and ibuprofen so you can be confident you are not under- or over-dosing, while you log temperatures, symptoms, and health notes. Run short medication courses like antibiotics as part of the same care period. - Health readings & vitals: Track INR, blood pressure, resting heart rate, SpO₂, respiratory rate, weight, and blood glucose (mg/dL or mmol/L). Set targets, add reminders, and see everything on Today. - Today: One daily view that combines routines, as-needed timers, temperatures, and vitals for each family member — no switching between siloed screens. - Home screen widgets: Next Up shows the most urgent household dose (routine or care) with Take and Snooze on medium size. Active Timers shows running as-needed countdowns with Log dose when safe. - Lock screen & Live Activities: Add compact Active Timers lock screen widgets, or turn on Native active timers in Settings for a full-width Live Activity banner and Dynamic Island countdown while a timer is waiting. - Apple Watch (experimental): A companion watch app shows Today progress, the next scheduled dose, active care, PRN timers, and Family Care quick timers — with Take, Snooze, and Log dose relayed through your iPhone. iPhone notifications can forward to the watch with action buttons. This is an early release: keep your iPhone nearby and signed in; the watch does not connect to your account on its own. - Quick actions (Family Care): Log doses and readings in one tap from Today. - Family reports (Family Care): Clear summaries over any period — for your records, other caregivers, or your doctor. Free vs Family Care - Free: Unlimited family members, medications, as-needed timers, and temperature & symptom logging, with Today showing the last three days in full detail. Free features are intended to stay free for the life of the product. - Family Care (subscription): Adds shared caregiver coordination, unlimited history on Today, one-tap quick actions, health trends, family reports, quick timers on Apple Watch, and every new family feature as it ships. Priced annually, shown in your local currency at purchase. Accessibility - Large mode (works especially well on tablets) for low-vision users - High contrast mode to reduce visual noise in the interface - Siri integration for hands-free dose and temperature logging Privacy & terms - Terms & Conditions: https://www.medicationtimer.com/terms-conditions - Privacy Policy: https://www.medicationtimer.com/privacy-policy Subscription billing Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Medication Timer at none against Pill Reminder MyTherapy's shown. Medication Timer also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Pill Reminder MyTherapy's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 57%) and ratings volume (8.5K vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pill Reminder MyTherapy sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Medication Timer sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Medication Timer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pill Reminder MyTherapy has 8.5K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Pill Reminder MyTherapy's written reviews are positive against 57% of Medication Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
