Rekalla is a simple app that helps older adults remember the things that are easy to forget, and lets their family help out from anywhere. You can set reminders for medications, meals, appointments, and phone calls. There's a daily routine you can check off as the day goes on, and a place to keep track of important people, doctors, phone numbers, and notes. Each day you can also do a quick check-in on how you're feeling. It's built to be easy for older eyes and hands. Big text, big buttons, and plain words. Nothing complicated to figure out. If you're helping a parent or grandparent, you can connect to their account with a short code (they approve it first), and then help manage their reminders and routine right from your own phone. You'll be able to see how their day went, which is nice when you can't be there in person. We don't sell your information or show ads, and you can delete your account and everything in it whenever you want. Rekalla is a reminder and organization app for everyday forgetfulness that comes with age. It isn't a medical app and doesn't give medical advice.

Verdict

The call

OmniLogic's advantage is ratings volume (8.8K vs 2) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
