**** VERY IMPORTANT!!!! ****
After an update, you must launch Med Minder once to re-register your alarms. Because of this you should NOT enable automatic updates as you may not realize that an update has been applied and you will miss your alert. If the app fails alert you, please launch the app just to ensure the alarms are registered. If you still have a problem, please contact me.
**** ALSO VERY IMPORTANT ****
If you have a task killer, put Med Minder in its ignore list or your alarms may not work!
**** ALSO IMPORTANT ****
When you put your android phone on "mute" or "vibrate" mode, the phone ONLY mutes the ringer and notification sounds. It does NOT mute applications, such as games or media players. This means that if you have the Med Minder alarm pop-up enabled under settings, the alarm will sound even if the phone is in vibrate mode. If you need Med Minder to be muted, you can either disable the pop-up alarm under settings or manually turn your media volume down with your volume control button. However, I recommend "Mute Widget", a home screen widget that allows one-click muting of all sounds, ringer, notifications, and media.

This app does NOT notify me. Useless
Doesn't remind, what's the point? No good
Doesnt give alarm
Does not work
Great easy to use. Works for me.
Great when works which is not often
Only downside is no snooze or explicit acknowledgement required of any alarm. You must dismiss the alarm to shut it up but might then forget to follow through and take the medicine if it isn't possible to do immediately.
I enter my wife's and my initials to show which reminder has popped up. Be nice to select reminder sound from my Ringtone or Music folder. In my billfold/wallet I cary a miniturized list of all my wife's and my meds by time of day, dosage, reference to doctor prescribing and doctor's phone number. Very nice work. THANKS. [Ah, paid version allows sound selection.]
Before Lollipop update the app was perfect. Since the update, the alarm does not ring
It has no color and you should be able to post what time on what day, so your sleeping on your day off and the alarm scares you to death
Everyday it remind me to take medicine
I liked this app cuz of the alarm... when I updated the app...alarm disappeared :-(
Great app until update to lollipop sound notification not working,excellent on Kit Kat works as it should
I wish it would alert me when I am down to my last 10 doses of a medication.
Basic / simple but that's what makes it great
It has no color and you should be able to post what time on what day, so your sleeping on your day off and the alarm scares you to death
Love this app wish I could choose the alarm sound.
Med Minder Free
Crashed first time it ran, did not restart, and did not remember my med alarm. Going to go back to basic alarm apps
Over rode the mute on galaxy S so audible alarm went off in middle of classical concert. Ouch!
Every works except no menu access, meds don't get subtracted daily and no screen spin for landscape view. Fix these and 5 stars.
After the latest update, the "go to bed" and "go to sleep" alarm turned itself on. Plays some random sound file on my phone. I can't turn it off so I will uninstall. Going to have to write my own application that works. Seems that no one is getting this application right.
I love this app!!! I have both naturopathic and paramedicals, and I am able to keep them all straight! I can write what dosage i am on and what brand of medication and how much i have left!! It's great!! The alarm is extremely annoying and works well with me as other reminders don't work so well! (LG Optimus)
It works okay-ish. I need to take my medicine twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. The app has an alarm for the morning but doesn't remind me at night. Uninstalling as this is too unreliable.
Would like to see feature added that allows me to track meds by person. I need to track meds for my parents and my kids. Make it a feature of the paid version and I'll gladly buy it. Also need a way to silence the alarm without dismissing the reminder so after 'dismissing' the alarm I don't have to relaunch the app to see what I'm being reminded of.
Alarm doesn't fail, tracks number of pills left, even for many meds, has pop-up, sound and taskbar notification. Great.
Works fine just would be better if what med you had to take scrolled across banner like txt messages and other notifications
While this app reminder features to work quite well, there are some hiccups. that does look pretty nice and has an intuitive interface. However there's no ability to add doses of medication or track doses. Additionally, there is no option for PRN and I was there for unable to make sure I didn't overdose on medications with additional PRN doses using this app. Unfortunately, it seems at this time that no other app is able to do this either.
This app is not without faults. For one thing the medicine tracker doesn't work. But I've been using this for over a week now. And as a medicine reminder it works great. In fact I use this to put in other important tasks sort of as a task manager. I am giving this a 3 because it has some flaws. But don't get me wrong it's a pretty good program for reminding you to take your meds.
Been working fine for nearly a year and suddenly stopped. Sometimes the notification pops up and the alarm sounds if you touch it, but that can't be hours later. Doesn't do anything you phone alarm couldn't do anyway
Horrid waste of an app! To be a medicine reminder/alarm app, it makes no sounds when your dose is do. Merely puts an icon in your notification bar. EPIC FAIL! my stock android alarm works better than this CRAP APP!
Just had both my knees replaced and had several complications. Taking lots of meds around the clock that make me a little loopy. This app has been a huge help. I don't need the paid version but I think I'll get it just to support your great work. Thank you! Mike in VA
Congenital Heart Valve & Coronary Heart Disease... Finally finding a app that actually is on time plus able to input as many med's without limitations of plans I can use. So vital to take my pills on time without worry. "Your Awesome App has done excellent work so far." Please keep doing the Best of Your Fine Work!! I am grateful for your great attention you give towards your hard work!!! :) :) :) :) :)
Nice
Great program for pill reminder, simple, straight forward program easy to use.
Great reminder for cancer patient's or on taking your meds,as intended, no forgetting.
Multiple reasons
The essence of simplicity and function.... Until ICS came to my RAZR. Now I get about 10% or less of my scheduled notifications. Resolve this and 5 stars are yours. /// Problem solved. Great app. Running Jelly Bean.

I like this app because all I want is a reminder to take my meds... I don't want to document my medical history nor get social! I have the free version. I would buy the app, but haven't, because sometimes it doesn't remind me to take my meds. Maybe the paid version does!
