## Description

**Medical Reminder** helps you never miss a dose or appointment. Track medications, schedule doctor visits, and generate professional PDF health reports — all stored locally on your device with no account required. Designed for seniors and caregivers, the app features large text, simple navigation, a home-screen widget, and reliable alerts that work even when your phone is locked or offline.

Includes a generous free tier (manage up to 2 meds, appointments, and doctors), plus a Premium upgrade for unlimited items, PDF Medical Profile & History reports, and optional Google Drive backup. Available in German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian. Privacy-first: only essential permissions, no data collection, and core features work without an internet connection.

## Review summary

Medical Reminder is appreciated for its user-friendly design and helpfulness in tracking medications and appointments, especially for seniors. However, users repeatedly complain about the tedious date of birth entry, unreliable notifications, bugs causing app crashes or failures, and limited features in the free version which requires a subscription for full use. Overall, while the app shows promise, stability and usability issues hinder its effectiveness.

### Pros

- Helps keep track of medications and doctor appointments
- User-friendly and intuitive interface
- Helpful for elderly users like grandparents
- Good for managing multiple medications in the paid version
- Effective for medication reminders when it works

### Cons

- Manual date of birth entry is tedious, requiring backtracking month by month
- Frequent bugs and app crashes, sometimes not opening on certain devices
- Notifications and alarms often don't work or come late
- Free version is limited to adding only four medications and has a subscription fee
- Lack of support or response from developers when issues are reported
