## Review summary

Users praise the app for easy setup, reliable daily reminders, pill-tracking, and the combination of period tracking with birth control reminders. However, the main recurring issue is unreliability of alerts: reminders can stop working or fail to notify, with some users needing to open the app or rely on an external alarm. A minority report that the app mainly records intake rather than actively reminding. Overall, strong functionality with room for improvement in notification reliability.

### Pros

- Customizable intake/patch schedule to suit different birth control methods.
- Reliable daily reminders with recurring notifications.
- Easy to use, straightforward interface.
- Ability to mark taken pills and track pill count / see which pill you’re on.
- Combines period tracking with birth control reminders in one app.

### Cons

- Reminders frequently fail to alert or stop notifying, making alerts unreliable.
- Notifications may not sound or push; users often must open the app or set an external alarm.
- Some reviews indicate the app only records when a pill is taken and does not remind.
- Reminders can be inconsistent across reviews, leading users to seek other solutions.
