Meds Easy tells you when a dose is due, lets you mark it taken right from the notification, and speaks up before a medication runs low. Today, in order Every dose due today is listed by time, with a count of what's still to take. Tap a dose after you take it. A long press skips it, pushes the reminder back a few minutes, or takes back a tap. Add one in a line Write "Simvastatin 20 mg every night" or "Prednisone 5 mg two times daily" and its strength, timing and reminders are filled in for you. Rather set each field yourself? The full form has them all. Reminders built around your doses • A notification at every dose time, with Taken, Snooze and Skip buttons • Medications due together share one notification • A dose already marked taken stays quiet • Every day, two to four times a day, every second day, one day a week, or as you need it • Dose times hold steady across time zones and daylight saving changes • Reminders are topped up in the background between visits to the app Your medication list, ready to share Send a plain-text list of what you take, with amounts, schedules, your instructions and your pharmacy, to a doctor, a pharmacist or a family member. Handy for appointments and intake forms. Your dose history stays out of it. From your wrist Check off or skip a dose on Apple Watch, and log an as-needed dose with one tap. Before you run out Enter how many you have. Each dose taken takes one off, and Meds Easy reminds you to refill at the number you pick. Your pharmacy's phone number sits on the medication's page. Look back A day-by-day record of taken, skipped and missed doses over recent weeks, plus your run of days with every dose taken. Missed marking one yesterday? Correct it with a tap. Widgets Widgets for the Home Screen and the Lock Screen show the next dose and how many are left today. Private to you No sign-up, no analytics, no ad tracking. Your list and your history are kept on your own devices and nowhere else. A tip, if you like Meds Easy is free and has nothing to unlock. If it helps you keep up with your medications, you can leave a one-time tip in Settings: a Smile, a Heart, a Bouquet or some Sunshine. Tips go through the App Store and change nothing in the app. Meds Easy reminds you of the schedule you enter. It doesn't give medical advice, doesn't check for drug interactions and doesn't replace your doctor or pharmacist. Always follow their directions.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Simple Meds at none against Meds Easy's 4. Simple Meds also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Meds Easy's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 16 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
