Review: Pill Reminder is an ad-free app that allows the user to create a personalized informational record and reminders for medications, appointments, and refills for one or more users with the intent that the user will remember to take all needed medications at the right time. The app is user-friendly, allowing for customization of a list of medications taken to include name, dosage, and photo for clear and easy identification. Users have a choice of 32 sounds for medication alerts, can choose if the alert is single or repeated, and can mark the dosage as taken using a simple swipe. Privacy information was not identified. Edits to the alerts are easy to create if needed. The app contains an option for notes which could be helpful if the user needs to track side effects of medication or items of importance to communicate with the doctors. The app can keep track of the quantity of each medicine and create reminders for refills and/or appointments. One downside is that the app cannot be synched to other devices or digital tools. However, the app does utilize VoiceOver accessibility use. The app does not require internet connection or that the app be open to receive notifications making it easy to use in a variety of settings.
