Great app...
...but where’s the iPhone X theme?
I take a *lot* of medication - would appreciate the taller screen size.

Helpful in so many ways
Only ever check the boxes once you've swallowed them and this app is a lifesaver. Now when I go to bed wondering if I remembered to take my evening pills I can easily check this app and see. I use the note section to track the dates I make any dosage changes. History allows me to see any days I missed (or skipped). Everything about this app is simple and helpful.
2015-08-28
Needs development
People have made very important suggestions but the developer hasn't updated the app in ages.
Look elsewhere.
2015-03-21
Suggestions
This App is very handy! I am frequently required to take multiple medications, and it can get confusing!!! Thanks to this App, I get reminded when to take each Med :)
Suggestion for improvements would be to: add 'as required Meds', and adding medication warnings, or alerts so you can't overdose on Meds.
Also, the UI is a little old, perhaps update for iOS 8 and the new screen resolutions. Cheers.
Thanks.

Easy to use
Very easy to use and definitely helpful app.
However, I would like to see it updated to allow unplanned medicines to be used. I have asthma, and can't enter occasional use of my inhaler, unless I have a schedule set to it. I would like to be able to look back on the history section and see the frequency and patterns of use.
2014-07-01
Great App
Fantastic App. Easy to use. And if used right you won't double dose. Having a photo of your pills Genius. 😊
2014-06-06
Pls update UI
it does what it's supposed to do, but could use a little update on the user interface look/design
2014-05-12
one off medications
The app is great for what it does but I would love to be able to add one off medications when I take them so that a complete history of my medications is stored in the app.
2013-09-27
What's Happening?
With an iPhone 5 and iOS 7 the latest update can run slow and then freeze (for example, when making changes to the medications). Initially, the app refused to run after installing the update, and a new install was necessary. Even then, it took a number of tries before it would run. The app seems to have some serious flaws that need to be addressed! It used to be an excellent app before iOS 7.
2013-09-26
OOOPPPSSS IT CRASHED!!!!!!
Just upgraded the IOS to upgrade to the new version. Then all it did was CRASH, right up till I uninstalled and re-installed, But then all my data was lost. Not much help scince I use this app for major medications and three doctors as well take a look at whats going on with my Medications. Looks like back to the app store for me.
2013-09-26
New update
This app worked perfectly until the new update. Constantly crashes!
2013-08-15
Brilliant!
Perfect, just what I needed as I'm always forgetting my meds. Very simple to use. Especially like that I can choose what each pill looks like. Would,like to be able to have a 'cream' in the list and just to make it a little more fun, how about the ability to change the background?
2013-06-16
Wonderful app!
This app is my saviour!! I would be lost without it!
Only problem is that it occasionally crashes when I get my pill notification, however that's a minor problem for a great app!
2013-05-12
Great, easy to use app!
Tried out a lot of the med reminders in the App Store and wasn't hugely impressed until I found this one. What I love about pillboxie is the fact that you can mark the dose as taken before the alarm goes off. For me I sometimes wake up early and take the pill straight away. On a lot of apps you can't actually mark it off early.
I do wish there was a 'pils remaining' option and a reminder when you're running low and need a prescription filled.
Overall so straight forward and simple to use that I'm happily sticking with this app. Hasn't crashed for me at all (in reference to below review). Very happy so far!
2013-05-07
Buggy and needs more features
This app has potential but even with a single medication I am finding this app buggy. At least 50% of the time it does not display the snooze button or taken buttons but that's ok just close and reopen the app, it then crashes and open it again, it is ok. It would be nice to have another version that allows the reminder interval to be set to a longer time than 60seconds.
2013-04-18
Not worth download
Tried it for a couple of weeks. Ok, it looks pretty. But functions are very basic and it just doesn't work as the help videos show. The videos are very basic. Main problem is that the menu tabs never showed up - making the rest of the 'help' irrelevant. So unless you get whatever you set up entirely right first time, bad luck. Because you can't delete a med, you can't change a schedule once set, so now you have something nagging you that you can't change at all. Oh, except for the colors and shape - big deal.
No support available - I emailed and got no reply. Nothing on website. Uninstalled and tried again. - no change. Dumped it. complete waste of time.

A lot to love
I have spent a small fortune on all the medical apps available and I must say this app is definitely a contender. I have paid up to and including $15 for apps touting they are everything I could want and everything I didn't know I needed in an app that were not even close. I am probably not a 'usual' user, I am a multiple chronic health condition sufferer and it can be so hard to keep everything 'straight' and organised (I am not sure if it is even possible to have it under such circumstances, but it definitely makes things SO much better if you can have some resemblance of it) especially when you feel like utter garbage, can't possibly think straight with the pain, stress or situation.
This app is simple and so easy to use - no need for tutorials - but they are easily accessible, available AND comprehensive if I need or want them, an offer rarely found even in the most complicated apps/programs etc. Pillboxie© is visually appealing without being too much so or something taken for a game by a curious child. I love the options for appearances of each medication, allowing for me to select colour and shape as well as its preparation ie powder, inhaler, capsule, drops etc and it is displayed as such - not just a generic pill shape &/or a name - making it a little easier to identify that rogue tablet I found that seemingly escaped its encasing and distinguishing quickly between different meds - both in the app and in my medicine case. I also like having the ability to have more than 1 profile ie spouse, children, parent. There are other great assets to this app that I am sure I have not mentioned but in short this app is certainly great value for money and an asset to anyone taking, administering, observing or interacting with medications at all - natural, over the counter or prescribed.
A few things that I would love to have:
Ability to have 'as needed/necessary' medications and dose history.
Strength info (mgs, mcg, ml etc)
All in all a great job and I look forward to updates and new features :) Thanks for a great app :)
2013-01-24
Love this app
This app is invaluable to people like me who not only forget to take their meds but also forget whether or not they've taken them - no more double ups or missed doses! Only addition I would like is to be able to have a pic of a half tablet, instead of having to write it in the notes.
2013-01-11
Fav utility app- amazing and sleek
This is my favorite app for managing my medicines :-) - Beats my general calendar and the style is amazing . Great price and full of substance . Thanks :-)
2012-12-10
Just a few hiccups
This app is beautifully presented, but there are a couple of things that probably new to be fixed up or added.
You can't log in any previous doses. I've even tried changing the date on my phone to log in past doses, but it doesn't work.
Like someone else said, missed doses come us as "not taken yet".
If you change the time of day you're taking the medication by taking the pill out and dropping it in another time slot, it comes up saying you need to take both the old and new doses.
Suggestion: there's no feature to say that you start taking a new med on a particular day, which would be helpful for people such as myself who are still figuring out the right dosage. Adding this into the schedule would be helpful.
2012-11-17
Fantastic App but with one vital missing feature
This is a fantastic application, however to make it indispensable would be the ability to either backup your history and settings, or even better, backup and sync across all devices via iCloud or Dropbox. After re-installing my phone and upgrading the iOS i've lost my history, even iOS backups didn't retain the data.
Otherwise, well done.
2012-09-26
Glitchy
I find this app useful but it would be brilliant if it wasn't so glitchy; the names of the meds are missing in the default screen, previous days meds say "not due yet" instead of missed. Also the meds history would be great if you could see all of the meds with in a month view.
2012-09-08
pillboxie
it is great to help someone like me who gets mixed up with their meds. So easy to mark when you have them.
2012-09-08
Very useful, helps me immensely
I like this, I am a recalcitrant when it comes to taking my meds properly, this helps me tremendously.
My only comment is the last update did something that screwed up the times, especially if I had Togo back and change the time to when I actually took the meds.
2012-07-20
DON'T UPDATE!!!!
This was working perfectly before the update, now the welcome screen doesn't work and even after you check the med off the reminder sound still sounds and then I set the remainder sound to OFF and it still sounds!!!!!! Very frustrating now. Please fix or put back the way it was. DON'T UPDATE UNTIL FIXED
2012-05-28
Great little app
Like others have said it would also be good if it could keep track of hen you need to renew your prescriptions.
2012-04-14
Easy to use. 6stars :D
They followed the golden rule.
KISS & made a great, visually pleasing, easily used & navigated. All around brilliant app.
I haven't seen anything that comes close for what I want it to do.
Help me keep track & remember my meds. When you take many different meds at different times throughout the day, I'd by an iPhone just for this app.
2012-04-11
Fantastic
Awesome App. Love the nagging reminder. Would be great if it would keep track on how many tablets you have left. I'm traveling around remote areas and not always near a chemist. By the time I realise I am on my last packet I am no where near a chemist to obtain more.
2012-03-12
Great app, latest update makes it greater!
I am hopeless at consistently taking tablets, always have been, probably always will be. So an app like this really helps - I've been using it for few months now but I must admit to still missing the occasional dose when I've been busy and the alarm went off only once. With the addition of the reminder feature I have never missed a dose - it just keeps harassing me until I get up and take my pill - or it annoys my better half enough that she brings them to me if I can't hear the alarm!
Highly recommended - thank you Jared.
2012-02-29
Lifesaver!
The best medication reminder I've come across - and I have tried a few of them! The latest update has made great improvements - it now keeps reminding you until you've ticked the boxes, and different medication types have been added. I love it and it's become a real lifesaver - literally.
2012-02-24
THE BEST APP
This is the BEST app for meds. The developers listened to EVERY suggestion. I LOVE it. This is the only one I need.
2012-02-09
Easy, simple.
And I haven't missed a dose since!
2012-01-24
Easy as!!
No fuss. Easy to use. Saves me every time.
2012-01-16
Pillboxie is great
Great App. Makes taking my meds on time so much easier. Works really well regardless of my mental state.
2012-01-05
Mr
Great app! Haven't missed one day since using pillboxie, thank you!

Helping me keep on track, Definitely a Great App
2011-12-18
Great App - thanks
Use it every day - reminds me and keeps track for me. What I would appreciate is the option for a tube of ointment in the medication details.
2011-11-19
Pills
This app is great for reminding me to take my meds it also tells my husband when he needs to use his eye drops before bed I'm impressed
2011-11-18
Very helpful. Improvement suggestion...
Excellent app, very easy to use. Reminders are great. A helpful improvement would be the ability to record the time that a pill is actually taken - e. g. When taking painkillers on an as-needed basis, would help to ensure doses are not taken too close together. Ideally for these the app could be set to reschedule a dose based on actual time previous dose was taken. Thanks though, this app is great.
2011-11-07
Great app
Really clever little app and so helpful !!

Very happy with this AP! Would like to have a weekly & monthly option as well as a PRN option...but over all very happy with the look & ease of use!
2011-08-16
Cute App
Simple, Good looking and easy to use app - Would be nice to have same type of med, but scheduled different times weekdays to weekends. Would also be good to take photo of real actual medication/pill and use photo within app. Otherwise good work.
2011-08-10
Not bad :) !!
I love this app, it reminds me to take drugs I always forget!
Though - I think the app should open so that you have to check it off when it reminds you.
It also needs an injection option.
It also needs a monthly reminder, as well as daily and weekly.
Otherwise, thanks so much for reminding me!!
2011-07-29
Pillboxie
This brilliant app makes me wish I was taking more pills just so's I can use it more!! A fun app that's so easy to use, visually appealing and the best part: my medications always taken on time every time! I love it and give it 10 stars!! What's more it's FREE!!
2011-07-28
Great app :)
I would forget all the time without this app! It's awesome :)
2011-07-11
Best app out there for this function. Forget all others.
The only things I would like to see in possible future updates are:
• Having 'transdermal patch' added as a graphic.
• If 'mg/mcg/ml' could be added.
• The 'smoke puff' from the inhaler could be lightly tinted the same color.
Other than those tiny nuances this app is almost perfect. Congratulations, it's easily the best app out there for this purpose. 5 stars. Get it!

Pill popper
Very happy with this app. Works well.
2011-06-30
Perfect pillboxie
Works - I take my meds - do I need to say more???
2011-06-26
A few tweaks and would be perfect
A few tweaks and would be perfect - as someone not new to taking meds but new to lunchtime meds it is hard to remember at this busy time of day.
As a nurse myself I know the importance of taking meds at scheduled times, especially this particular new med if I want my sleep at nigtht !!
Would love to see this app have a setting to alarm even if your phone is on silent, also to have repeat reminders go off at intervals until until you check it off - in noisy areas you may not hear the reminder and completely forget to check your phone/take your med until hours later.
Then this app would def have 5 stars in my opinion.
