Review summary

Users love Max for its friendly reminders (dog barking and cat meow), and its simple, flexible pill-logging that handles multiple meds and times. The app is praised for improving adherence, even in busy or caregiving contexts, and for waking users with reliable reminders. Reviewers also appreciate the free, low-friction experience and the non-intrusive vibe. However, several users report calendar/dates problems that confuse schedules, and some experience ad-related prompts or prompts that can feel intrusive. A few note occasional stability concerns after updates. Overall, the core reminder and logging features are strong, with calendar clarity and ads needing attention.
Pros
  • Engaging reminders with dog barking and cat meow sounds (and optional phone calls) to help you remember to take meds.
  • Simple, flexible pill-logging that supports multiple meds and times.
  • Strong usefulness for people with complex regimens or forgetfulness, improving adherence.
  • Non-intrusive, user-friendly experience with minimal ads.
  • Helpful in households and caregiving contexts, supporting routines and wake-ups.
Cons
  • Calendar/date handling is confusing and can be off by a day, making schedules hard to follow.
  • Ad-related prompts can be intrusive or hard to stop, and some reviews note ads missing or being disruptive.

2026-07-11 aj***** My husband and I are full time caring for my mom at the end of her hospice journey. This all has been a life saver. I can easily add and adjust her meds schedule, and my husband can have it on his phone as well. I’m also able to keep track of things like if she falls (yikes), bowel movements, etc. I love the different of keeping track of scheduled meds and “as needed” meds. A life saver for sure.

2026-07-10 Fr***** At first I was very confused by the phone calls showing up as “Max” but once I figured out what it was and answered it I couldn’t stop giggling. What a fun way to keep track of my medication.

2026-07-08 Re***** I’ve always struggled with taking my meds. This app just makes it so much easier, there is something about the animal noises that make it different than an alarm, and the calling reminder is great.

2026-06-30 Sc***** I have used this app for quite a while for tracking prescriptions. It used to be easy to set up. I went to start a new course of antibiotics and I am unable to figure it out. They have taken an easy to use app that worked perfectly and complicated it.
