Great app! I used to track meds with notes and alarms, but it required constant checking—not ideal. When I had to take two antibiotics at different times, it got overwhelming. I tried other apps, but nothing compares to this one. I love that you can log food, water, blood pressure, and more. The feature to take notes for doctor visits is super helpful—I never forget what I wanted to ask. Highly recommended!
Reviews for Pill Reminder & Health Tracker
It works great at aggressively reminding to take medication to the point where you do it so it leaves you alone. But it overrides everything else and it's infuriating. Sometimes I'm busy on my phone and I need to quickly get rid of Pillo but it doesn't let you.It also stops whatever audio I'm playing through Bluetooth and then when I want to resume my music I can't hear it because for some reason Pillo has turned my phones volume all the way down to zero as well as pausing it.
I have been using this for a few months now and it's been great. I have ADHD and have always struggled to take my meds daily and with this app I have not missed a day since it kinda locks the phone. The only thing I would like is to be able to see when I have taken my "as needed" meds on the calendar, like a little + symbol in the corner to indicate I did more than my daily meds. Or even better a few symbols I can set for different meds to really see what I have taken at a glance.
too many times I couldn't remember if I took my meds and would be dangerous if not deadly if I took them twice. so unfortunately I had to skip them a day at times. with this app. I no longer have to worry about that and I only hit the button after I do the meds. if I am busy when the alarm goes off, I can snooze for several minutes or even a few hours and it will remind me again.
I'm using the app to remind me to take 1 prescription for 30 days. It does a great job of reminding me to take it 3 times a day. The presentation of the ads without an immediate ability to close them is infuriating. I couldn't call 911 if I needed to without first opening a link to an ad so I could close it to get to the phone function. One more week of this medication and I'll be done with this app.
This app helps me so much with taking my medication. I am very forgetful with taking my meds and sometimes I take them and then later in the day I cant remember if I took them or not. So this helps me keep track of everything. You can set an alarm to remind you and additionally remind you to have a meal if your medication has to be taken with food. I also like that when it reminds you, it gives you like a five minute timer to take them as well. Overall great app!
Overall, it's easy to use and flexible. the name is kind of a disservice for them. I'm mainly using it for injection tracking and weight loss so a "pill" tracking app doesn't grab my attention. Should have been like MedAlert or something. My only functional gripe is the weight tracking graph needs MAJOR improvement. It should function like a stock chart and show full views of 1m,3m,6m,1yr, etc. The current setup is pretty useless and uninformative as far as visualizations go.
I'm impressed. It took me a minute to figure out how to set up the medication schedule, but once I put in the second med, it was very easy. I continue to find more features that makes management easy. I am using this for my post-op medication schedule and even set it up for emptying my drains. I only need this short-term, so will not be subscribing. I highly recommend a subscription for those who have long-term medication requirements. I plan to make a one-time donation as a thank you.
On the very first use, the app refused to let me out of it until I tried out another app. I felt hijacked and I literally had to restart my phone to be able to get to anything else. So just in case you have a phone call coming in, or any other app trying to open up, this app will not let you out of it. I would not support this program because of this issue. software developers should inform their users of things like this BEFORE they install it.
HIGHLY recommend this app. extremely customizable on a granular level, but the UI is also very user friendly so that it's not hard to figure out. they don't require you to add any personal data if you don't want to, everything is free, and the safeguards to snooze or easily reschedule, accommodate those times when you might be busy when the app goes off. even the company itself isn't tied to or invested in by anyone shady. weird that a pill reminder app might be my number 1 rated app of the year
