Pillsy

★★★★★ Works pretty well, not always removing pills from the bottle count even though it records when I took them. This makes me unsure how many pills I actually have left without counting them. Haven't yet been able to figure out why it sometimes does this. Other than that, I've had a smooth app experience so far. The ability to manually edit the remaining pills in a bottle is crucial and currently seems to be missing, however.

★★★★★ The design is sleek and very portable. It does the job. Make sure to complete the settings before using so as not to get a false reminder. The blue signal for the reminder is just perfect, not loud at all. I love it, so does my daughter.

★★★★★ Easy way to remember to take your vitamins!

★★☆☆☆ Completely useless gadget. Doesn't actually record pill taking unless my phone is right next to it AND the phone app is open at the same time. So if the phone is too far, out of battery or the app is not open, no recording!! And if the pill is taken outside the time slot, it also doesn't record automatically, I have to do that manually in the app. Also, the text messaging and calling just doesn't happen. Perhaps one also has to be right next to both the pill box and the phone. Seriously what good is this if one is not bedridden?? My pill bottle top with timer, which I got free at the pharmacy, is much better. At least I know when I took the last dose. With pills, there is simply no way to tell when I actually took the last dose. It never recorded the fact that I took my dose this morning. And even though the app tells me I didn't take my dose, there was also no phone message. The only alert is one faint beep and then that's it. If you care about your health, do not buy!!

★★☆☆☆ As the reviews here indicate, this app wasn't very good to begin with, and with the update to Android O, it appears to have gotten worse. Reminder on the phone sound for a minute, but once finished, there is no persistent notification. So if you weren't near your phone at the right time you don't get reminded! Also taking the lid off no longer records a dose. You have to go into the app and do that manually. Even when you do, the pills remaining isn't updated.
