NudgeHero - Med Reminder

The basic idea behind this app is good, to keep reminding you about your meds until you actually take them. The problem is, once you enter the medication name and your desired dosing schedule, you can’t easily change anything. If you forget how it’s supposed to work, there’s no way to get back to the initial screen that explains how to set things up. If you want to cancel one alert and adjust another, there’s no clear way to do it. One screen had the four original dosing times, and another screen showed that I had somehow added three other times, but there was no way to clear them. I had also skipped a notification without having any idea how I did it. Plus, the developers don’t seem to understand that not everyone gets up in the morning and goes to sleep on the same day. Some of us are night owls and take meds well after midnight, and the app warns against this. Some rethinking is definitely needed here.

I have been using this app for a few weeks and it has been extremely helpful in reminding me when to take my medications, and vitamin supplements. I work from home and at times I get very busy, so this app comes in handy because I have to take my some of my supplements at different times of the day. The NudgeHero definitely helps me stay on track with my meds and vitamins.

I’ve been using this app since last November 2022 and it is now February 2023. My SIL was up visiting and noticed I was missing taking my medications on time so searched online for an app that could assist me by setting up a scheduler that alerts me when it’s time to take the pills and the best of all a follow up alert when you miss the first alert. It’s surprising how quickly your mind can acknowledge the first alert then tune it out. But the follow up alert is really the key to taking action with your medication. It’s like they can read my mind! Plus their developer is super responsive when you have questions or suggestions. Thank you NudgeHero!
