This app helps reduce my anxiety around keeping track of my meds. I love that it can also give me warnings when my supply is low! My only issue is that one of my pill shapes is not included... It's a rectangle with the top and bottom sides rounded. Or, an eye shape where the pointy ends have been cut off. Please add this as an option! <3 I really love the feature of adding what the medications look like, and I'd like that one medication to be accurate like the rest.

I love this app, and it always deserved 5 stars but since I downloaded to my new phone it isn't acting right. Sometimes it acts just fine but sometimes If I snooze it doesn't always remind me again especially if I'm on my phone. Also there are other times that I was late taking my meds and when I opened the app, this is when the alarm sound went off. I need to axt like it always did and always remind me. Frustrating

Incredibly dangerous. There is no way to turn off the alarms while driving. You have to click through each stage while the alarms sound. It locks your phone ON. You can't turn it off. It needs to be reported to some agency to restrict this apps Forced control of your phone

Helps me keep track, not only for my regularly scheduled meds, but tracking as needed meds. Helps me not take them too often. Was very useful when tracking pain meds after surgeries, so i could nake sure they were properly spaced. One thing I wish they'd do is have the option of adding how many pills were taken, especially for pain, rx or otc.

It's too angry, without responsiveness to tailoring. It's really annoying that to actually register taking a pill you have to click so many buttons - including an annoying and pointless, from my perspective, countdown timer after you click rate. But the worst is that it interrupts everything even if you turn off all settings. I've turned off the music - still annoying music with every notification. I've clicked not to override do not disturb - sure does override anyways. Really frustrating.

Pillo is marketed (on Google, anyway) as a medication Tracker App. In reality, it is so much more than that. It is a HEALTH APP. Pillo does most of what I need. I would, however, like to see an update to include monitoring for more vital signs, including spO2 and temperature. I like seeing a health/medical app that isn't bombarded with tons of workout/fitness stuff. I have many chronic illnesses? and I need to keep track of my health conditions. BRAVO!!

I have tried this for a week now, and the app is well designed, but the name "Angry Pill Box" is accurate! I just want a pop-up notification and line in my feed so I can track, log, and review. This thing takes over the phone, silences apps, on top of all other actions, sends sirens (embarrassing at church/meetings!)... until you update it! I wish you could tone it down!

Really nice app to track my meds after surgery. Unsure if it's a glitch but if I'm taking a pill at a later time, it just records that but doesn't change the time for the reoccurring ones, which can make someone overdose. It was doing it originally & would ask, but now if I'm taking something 2 hours later, my time still didn't change for the next dose. Otherwise app works really great & easy to use

In still in the testing phase but what I have seen so far is really good. I like that you can reschedule the medication alarms if you get busy, unlike a few where you either take your meds or have to cancel. I like that the reminder is soft and almost obtrusive but yet enough to wake me in the morning when I oversleep.

I found this app to be extremely easy to use during a trial of premium. I liked the reminders and how easy it is to push out the time when you need a little flexibility. I also like that it's annoying enough to want to take them as soon as possible. I found i was doing everything in life more consistently with these reminders. I also like the inventory capabilities and share funtion. Adding ads in at the free level really is annoying than i can live with and I don't want to pay for premium.
