Ratings and reviews

I've tried all of the medication reminder apps out there, and this, while not perfect, is the best. It is not perfect, it could use some polishing, and a feature to look forward on a calendar to see what is scheduled for that day, but it allows for entering alternate doses, changing times or quantities, and great reminders.

A great, full-featured application for tracking medications. Hat tip to the developer for creating an outstanding application. Bonus points for it being ad free and open source. I went through at least half a dozen other apps that were either poorly implemented, plagued with ads, or featured locked behind subscription models. I do not mind paying for good software, but having a monthly subscription fee for every app on your phone is just not feasible.

I switched to MedTimer from MediSafe. I primarily want an app that's really good at reminders and tracking medication. 1 job done well. MedTimer does that 1 job quite well. I can identify meds, and although it's a bit more manual, I'm happy to jump through a couple of extra steps. It's quite customizable, and the developer seems very nice and that is always a win. MediSafe shims in a lot of superfluous stuff and the recent changes to their privacy policy finally drove me away.
