Pros and cons of MyMedRec app for iPhone and iPad

MyMedRec app good for

A great way to keep track of my medication. Its a good idea for caregivers too.

I entered my kids and can keep all my information in one place.

This FREE app allowed me to plug in all 5 family members, all health and immunization history, medical numbers, health issues, presricps, practitioners for each family member, all meds being taken, take a pic of meds, enter doses, set alarms for reminders, track administered doses, record pharmacy prescrip are filled at and more. It also allows a user to email the whole record of a person or just select parts. Very helpful with my one toddler who is chock full of health issues! I tried three other med reminders, but this on offers a whole health history. *****Great app!! *****

I like the app for its ease of use for inputting my kids medication and doctor info. Instead of writing it down on a piece of paper, it is all on one convenient platform that can be updated and maintained easily. I also like the ability to add a picture of the medication to each of my childrens profiles. Great job!

Great app, clean and simple way to track your meds and stay on top of kids health records like immunization.

Can you add a module that tracks your dr appointments? Other than that I really like it! Thanks for writing it!

Some bad moments

Great app. It offers a security setting that prompts for a password before you can fully enter the program. The problem is when you use the medication reminders and you click on the reminder it bypasses the security and takes you right to the administrative record.

Tested for about 6 months. Great for recording your meds and information on you healthcare providers. The cons are that if you take meds right before or after the scheduled time it loses track & blanks out the check marks confirming the dose taken for the entire day. If you change your dose it loses track of all previous doses. Very annoying. I would not recommend this for people who need a reliable way to track their daily dosage. This has great potential, but needs bug fixes and poses a serious risk of overdosing.

I need an option for taking a med every 3 days AND an option for taking mess on certain days of my cycle ( like only on days 14 - 28). Many women doing hormone replacement would use these options - with it, this app is no help.

Lots of potential but very cumbersome. Navigation is terrible. A pen and paper would be as good.

Cant add any names. It bounces you back out of the application. When you go to enter a name it gives you a number keyboard. All-around not working at all on iPhone5.

This probably is a great app, but you cant set up a profile because the first and last name fields only let you enter numbers. Text is not an option. Pointless app
