Pill Alert Pro at Mac App Store analyse

Love this app helps me keep track of my whole familys medication. Wish there was a way to keep track of amount of refills left on prescription.

I bought the upgrade and then wished I hadnt. This app is slow at entering any changes made to it. I did like the layout, coloring of the pages, but man...slow doesnt even come close to how this app moves! If the developers fix that, I would try it again.

Ive not had any problems with it being slow. It does exactly what I need it to do - it helps me keep track of my prn meds - when, what, and how much I take. The only thing Id like to see added would be routine meds as a group - for instance, everything I take every morning, instead of entering each one "taken" individually, Id like to just log the entire bunch as taken all at once. Aside from that, Im pretty satisfied.

This is a great app (and Ive tried many), especially the iCloud sync feature. Works very well on both my iPad and iPhone. Could possibly use a manual for ease in using it, but after a couple of hours, its pretty easy to figure out. I like its simplicity; there is less to enter than MedHelper but that is a good thing because I prefer keeping my doctor visits and notes on Excel where I can access info from any device. Unlike MedHelper which kept a separate calendar (unnecessary and duplicative), there is no calendar feature nor detailed inputs for doctor or pharmacy names, phones and addresses. The "Upcoming" feature is nice, showing the next 12 hours and the pill counting is seamless; the "Taken" feature allows a choice of marking whether you took your med at the scheduled time or now, etc. Overall, this one is very good.

This a good app. Great design but it seems to run slow. I have to exit the app just to be able to enter my next med. when I do enter my med, it takes forever to accept entry then freezes.

The whole point of the APP with the word alert in it is to provide an alert. However this APP does not use push notifications so the only way to know that you missed your pills is too keep opening and closing the APP to see what you missed and then get an alert badge. The description that you will be reminded to take your meds on time is misleading. As an alert APP, it totally falls down. I expected better for a reminder APP.

This review is after 5 days, for 7 medications taken at 3 times throughout each day, using Dropbox to synch between iPhone 5 and iPad Air. Pill Alert has worked very well, data entry is very straight forward for the setup and for recording when meds are taken. As long as I remember to backup and restore, synching has had no issues. I am not sure if using iCloud would give me auto synching, but I will probably just use my phone going forward and forget the iPad. Overall I give this app a 5 star rating, especially when compared to other med reminder apps I have tried.
