Pill Reminder Medication Alarm 4+

PILL REMINDER IS JUST SO A BRILLIANT IDEA

I used to miss or double on my medication before discovering this best app ever, now I have never missed or doubled on my medication, I even gave it to my doctor to give it to other patients so they get the help I have found from this app.
It is also good idea to only delete the reminder immediately after the medication has been taken so you know for sure that you have not missed a dose.
Good app that does not get shaken by jet lag or different time zones when it comes to holidays, thank you whoever took their time to think and make this super app.

No ‘time of day’ reminder, just intervals

I used this for a while and it’s good, except when it comes to daylight savings. You have to delete all your daily reminders and start again because it’ll be an hour wrong for six months of the year.

I have reminders for medication based on events in my day (breakfast, lunch, etc.) so that I can be sure I’ve had my pills by then. If you set a daily reminder at a time with this app it’ll always keep it at 24 hours since the last one, so on daylight savings days it goes off an hour early or late. It knows about daylight savings so even if you go in and edit the time for a reminder it’ll still be an hour wrong because it remembers the time zone it was created in.

I need a pill reminder app that works how my doctor tells me I should take my pills, not this.

Hi! Thank you for your review. About the daylight savings, the app changes the time of the notification to keep the same interval between your doses. To prevent this from happen, you can use the fixed time interval, this will send the notification at the same time of the day.

Great if you don’t move between time zones

Love the app, it reminds me to take my diabetic, cholesterol and ant-acid medications on time.
However I travel a lot for my job and frequently have to work on different continents and therefore adjust to different time zones.
This app does not synchronise to local time. The user has to completely re-schedule every individual reminder every time they cross a time zone.
This provides us with a paradox.
Do we keep on taking the medicine at the same time we do at home?
That can often be impractical as we normally take our prescribed dosage in the day time. Furthermore being +/- several hours from home creates the very problem which I need to solve.
As I normally take my medicine in the morning and evening this turns into the middle of the night if I go from the UK to the USA. Even that depends on whether I’m on the east or the west coast.
Should I take the drugs to coincide with my usual routine or break that cycle and adhere to the strict regime directed by my doctor?
This app failed to give me the option to choose for myself.

Hi!
Our apps reschedule the notifications to keep the same interval. If you take a medicine at 10 am and 10 pm, and you travel to one place that the is +1 hour, the new schedule will be 11am and 11pm. We do this because most medicines need to be taken with the same interval.
