Very good but...... – Dosecast: My Pill Reminder App Review

Dropped to one star since new owners won't answer simple support question about restoring past purchases. As an original buyer I had Premium level not offered any more. New phone and its gone. Two requests for help got no reply whatsoever. Too bad they've ruined a pretty good product. Today's update makes the app crash repeatedly. Has been working well for a long time but now even reinstall doesn't help crash. Added comment --------------------- In spite of a couple design flaws I have been reasonably satisfied with this app. However, I just noticed that the app was now universal so I installed it on my iPad and was disappointed to see that it installs as trial again so I guess it's the developers way of making you pay twice. I was hoping the server ID would let you essentially keep two devices in sync but no such luck. In addition his thing has issues if you take the same drug twice a day and forget to acknowledge the morning instance before the evening time. It loses one instance of that drug in the list where you tell it you've already taken the drug. Therefore your records are wrong. I got around this by essentially defining the same drug twice with slightly different names. Then if you forget to acknowledge the morning instance until evening the program sees it as two different drugs and you can recover from your mistake. I just put a hyphen at the end of the drug for the afternoon. Kludgy and you shouldn't have to do this but now works well for me. ---------- This thing has a great interface. If you're taking pills several times a day then you want easy and this is easy. Three drawbacks. 1. Not all drugs are pills. Needs at least an 'other' category for injections etc. 2. Not all meds are taken daily. I have one taken every two weeks and THIS is the one I really need to be reminded to take. 3. As others have said, this app really needs a way to record 'as needed' meds if it's going to make a big deal of mailing stuff to doctors. Incomplete for that is as bad as not at all. I'll still pay for it as is.
