Medisafe Pill & Med Reminder

This app makes it easy to remind me to take medications. However, i don't use or want all the other tracking features. Additionally, it would be helpful if the app would automatically delay you're when you take a medication late and it's sometime you have to take on an interval (e.g. every 6 hours)

This is now an updated review. As I've used this app for about 5 years or so, now the quality and usefulness have changed. The reason I continue to use it is because of health issues that have caused memory problems, it isn't easy to relearn the use of a new app. This app frequently changes the days on me by going forward or back by a week or days. Although I have the same app on a tablet, the alarm will continue to ring even after I've stopped it on my phone. Confusing!

Update /sigh they now require you to set up interests for a personalized feed. I neither want or need this "feature" and of course there's no way to opt out. I am looking for a new app. Too bad the app was great. But this is a deal breaker for me. For anyone who needs to track their meds this is an amazing app. Just the free version is great on its own.

UPDATE: 12 years later, I'm still using and loving this app. Best pill reminder app I've ever used, and I've tried many! This is an updated review. I thought it wasn't working at first because I wasn't able to save more than one med. After emailing support I discovered I am just too impatient and need to wait a second or two after clicking add. Simple as that. I've tried at least 5 or 6 other apps similar and this one is by far the best!

This is a great app to track my meds. I took a star off because if I add a new med, it takes me to a page to add an "interest" topic. There are very limited "interest" options, and it won't let you exit or navigate back to your meds. I have to hard close out of the app to get away from this annoying feature.

I don't see any way to set the time to take a medication to a specific amount of time after taking something else. The first thing I take requires me to wait a specific amount of time before taking the next one. Would also love to see the ability to use a smart watch to mark a med as taken. Also be great if you could use a picture of the med instead of pre-defined shapes and colors. Good app overall but could use a few adjustments, especially the time needed between taking 2 different meds.

This app is so close to perfect! The med reminders have been super helpful. The design is appealing & intuitive, making it easy to use. I love how customizable everything is, down to the icon for each med & being able to edit entries. I think improvement is needed on the refill reminder options for medications that aren't taken as pills (ie injections, creams). The symptom trackers are great, but some symptoms I wanted to track aren't available, so I had to add a different one & change the name

It was working well for a while, but then I got a bunch of new meds and needed 4 reminders a day, and it stopped working. When I needed it most, it stopped alarming. I set it to always alarm even if the volume was down and always pop up and it didn't do either anymore at all. I had to switch to a new, less pretty app with boring alarm tones. So disappointed. Edit: I came back to this app again in 2025 (previous review was from 2016) and it works fine again.

As a chronically ill registered nurse this is such a great app! We always say in the hospital setting: document it or didn't happen! I take a lot of medications that definitely need to be tracked for safe dosing and interactions, this is a user-friendly and trustworthy app to use! Also love that my husband can check in on whether I've taken my meds today, but I recommend turning off the automatic notifications on a partner's phone because it can be kind of nonstop.

This is incredible, I didn't think an app could solve my problem of forgetfulness when it comes to taking meds. I love the user experience, customization options, and the way notifications are set up (e.g. snoozing them!). It's clear the app team designed this with it's users in mind. I'm glad I found it 😊

I'm still new to this app but I've noticed a couple of issues. 1) I can't edit what time I took a med. If I click that I took a med through the notification, I don't even get the option to choose a time - it just assumes I took it now even though I took it 45 min ago and just forgot to log it. 2) No feature to track what time it's okay to take another dose of an as-needed med. 3) the reminders are broken if you set something to be taken for a certain period of time (like an antibiotic regimen)

I have looked for tears to find the perfect app for me and I think this is it. It helps show possible interactions between my medicine which I love, and also gives you coupons for pharmacies. I am able to keep track of how much medicine I have left automatically, and I can have a refill reminder which really helps me. One thing that could change is I wish we could change setup to be more modern, although I do enjoy the simple design it has now.

I used this app for years until the most recent update, and they broke it. I couldn't change medications I take daily, I'd save it, and nothing changed. I had to repeatedly save changes to my medication schedule before it would update. And my favorite, I'd get notifications asking if I had taken meds I had already marked taken. It was incredibly confusing. Their response time to a question took over a week to get an automated response. Check out Pillo it's simple and easy to use.

The app is described as "free" on its website. However, it's only possible to track two medications without a subscription, which is only revealed once you've created an account. This type of "subscribe to unlock basic functionality" model is incredibly frustrating. Subscriptions should be for additional functionality that actually uses resources (like cloud storage), not for basic functionality. I would happily pay for the app, but to expect a monthly payment is too much. Disappointing.

I'm using this app in conjunction with another similar med tracking app because I'm trying to decide which one I like most long term. Both apps have features that the other doesn't so it's a matter of which is the most important to me. The one big missing feature I wish you had was a drop down or section where I could choose which area I did my injection. This way I can keep track since I have to rotate injection sites. This app, at best, only has a notes section to write it down.

I have been using this app for years and loved it! However you recently introduced a premium subscription and all of the features that used to be included for free (custom sounds, theme colors, etc ) I'm now being asked to pay for ($5/mth or $40/yr)! That is not right!! Your long time users should have been grandfathered in and not had features that were being in use taken away and then being asked to pay for them. I'm extremely disappointed!!

Just okay... Two big issues: 1. The widget is unreliable, every couple of days it just doesn't refresh. 2. One small limitation on medications, I have one medication I take when I get up, and then a second dose 8 hours later. The times can vary day to day, and this app does not have any allowance for that. I'm not seeing any loss of functionality by not subscribing personally, but my 2 cents, the app isn't worth a subscription. I would be willing to pay a flat fee of $5-$10 though.
