A couple years ago I found the Medi-Safe app on Android. I liked it & recommended it to my sister, who still uses it on her iPhone. However, on Android they got greedy, & wanted to charge MONTHLY for usage if you had more than one medication.

A pill reminder app is not complicated. It's basically a calendar/database app that keeps track of your medications & sends you notifications when you need to take them. Other optional features some have:

1. A medication database that includes info on each medication. You don't have to enter all the info for each medication you are taking.

2. You can save your medications & history, so that you can move them to another device.

3. You can share your dosage history with your doctor.

4. You can get information about your medical conditions (although I think the web is a better resource).

That's it! There is no need for continuing support from the app's developer or an Internet connection to use it! So, when Medi-Safe got greedy, I researched & chose "My Therapy" (free w/ no ads). However, recently they've added ads, claiming they need the revenue "to keep My Therapy free". The final straw for me was the targeted ads based on my medications for my perceived medical condition (prostate cancer), which I thought was a gross violation of my privacy, & perhaps a violation of HIPPA law.

So yesterday I moved to an "open source" free (no ads) app called MedTimer on Android. I think there is a different app with the same or similar name for the iPhone, but it's from someone else.

MedTimer has matured over the last year & is a very decent replacement for both of the above apps. You do have to key in the names of your medications (it has no database of medications), but otherwise is quite easy to setup & use.
