A contender
Pill Reminder is definitely a contender for the top, umm, pill reminder solution on the App Store. Its got the basic features Ive expected til now from an app in this category---keeping a list of medications and reminding you to take them on a schedule---along with features that have become more important to me, like the ability to log medications taken "as needed" and to email your meds list and dosing history to others.
Its not a pretty app, but it should do everything you need. Two problems for me, though, mean Ill be looking for something else:
- The Reminders (today) view doesnt show the time you took your medication, except for those taken as needed---it shows the scheduled time. This makes it difficult to get an overall sense of your days dosing events.
- If youre taking meds on an "every nn hours" schedule, the app doesnt reschedule your reminders based on the time you actually took your dose. For example, if youre scheduled to take a drug at 7am and every four hours after that, taking the drug at 7:20 doesnt set the next reminder to 11:20am instead of 11am. As a result, you could be taking your medication early.
These issues may not matter to you. And the app is free. Download and decide for yourself.
