myPill® Birth Control Reminder 17+

Works great for me

Dr referred me to this app. It does what I need it to and though it gets much fancier at the premium level, but for my needs, I don’t have it. Also want to mention, I saw a developer response to a review on here from June and they were kind enough to explain diplomatically the reason for a “premium “ option AND went as far to let the reviewer know that if she couldn’t afford the premium fee they want her to contact them and offered to work with her! That’s stellar. 👏🏻

Major subscription issues for over a year now

I really loved this app when I first started using it. I even signed up for the monthly subscription cause it was super cheap and why not!! However about a year later I started experiencing issues with the app. I would go on the app and it would tell me to purchase the premium membership almost every time. Then other times it would work as normal, considering the fact I literally had a monthly subscription that would automatically be automatically renewed every month… I kept experiencing the same issue over and over except this time recently the app would not go back to normal and I was continually being told to purchase a premium membership. Come to find out the reason being was they raised their prices and the price that was being renewed automatically in my Apple subscriptions were less than what was supposed to be paid. After realizing this I renewed my subscription and paid $15 total for a forever membership almost a week ago. After doing this I thought everything would be fine but boy was I wrong. Went back on the app today and once again it’s telling me my subscription is expired and I need to renew AFTER JUST PAYING $15 FOR THE FOREVER MEMBERSHIP!! This is beyond me and pretty annoying to say the least. I contacted support about this so let’s see how that goes at this point because to be honest I’m on the verge of just getting my money back and using a different app🤷🏼‍♀️

Great App!... until (edited)

If it weren't for this app, I'd never remember to take my pill. I also love how you can make the reminder discrete if wanted, and the calendar options for ways you're feeling, that's helpful to me so I can see if I've been on time monthly !

Update: it’s been about six months at least, probably longer since I first reviewed. Recently, I got a new phone. So I had to redownload the app of course. The newest version limits almost everything to premium usage. There are very few features left for non-paying users. I use this app not only for birth control reminders, but I also take my other daily medications at the same time, it’s just easier that way. But when I’m on my break week, I’m no longer allowed to receive reminders for the entire week. It doesn’t sound like that big of a deal but to me, it is. Also, unless you are premium, you can’t choose how often the reminder goes off if you haven’t hit “pill taken” so it’s automatically set at 20 mins. A lower one time charge would be cool. But monthly is reaching. And personally, this app isn’t worth the $14 forever premium charge either. Just something to consider for new users !

Hey Sky! We spend most of the income on development of new features, so the more upgrades, the better the app becomes. Trust me, no one works for free; that's why free apps are usually crappy, unless they sell your personal data for ads. We don't show ads and don't use your personal data for anything other than backups. If you can't afford the upgrade, please contact our support, we will do whatever we can to help. 💛
