TimelyMed Reminds You To Take Your Pills

TimelyMed

If you have any kind of medical condition and have to take medication daily, you know what its like try and remember to take your medication during the day. We get caught up in meetings, phone calls or just find ourselves running around and it sometimes just slips our mind. Well TimelyMed has come up with a solution to help make things easier. The application is fully programmable to remind you when to take your medication and what dose is needed. The app features alerts settings (in half-hour intervals), start and end dates, snooze and dismiss for alarms and even autostarts with the device. TimelyMed sells for $9.99 in the CrackBerry App Store - pretty steep for an app of this nature, but if it is something you need I suppose it's well worth it.

How the heck can anyone have the balls to charge this much for an app like this? Talk about thieving bastards.

Been using my Calendar for a year now for my daily medication. Does everything this does and it's...........FREE!

Wow no kidding for the amount of time it takes to setup up a recurring calendar event that price is wayyyy too high.

I take 15 pills a day. This looks useful, but not for that price.

I take a ton of pills too...at four different times every day. Just setup events in your Calendar. I've tried this application. Even if it were FREE I would still use the Calendar. I'll go so far as to say that if they gave ME $10 to use this application I would say "No thanks!"...Seriously.

For $10 the app better unscrew the lid off the bottle, put the pill in my mouth for me, and get me a glass of water.

I can't imagine a lot of sales on this at that price especially (as mentioned previously) with the calendar app built right into the BlackBerry that can do the same thing.

First off, the only reason these 3rd party apps are made is because of the fact that bb's only have ONE alarm.

IF BB's like every other phone had multiple alarms, there'd be no need whatsoever.

you can set a new alarm by opening your calendar to a certain day, hit the blackberry button, scroll down to "new alarm" and set the preferences.

what am I missing?

Or you can just add 5min appointments with reoccurrence! Wow, $10 is highway robbery!! I just got some Tamiflu that I have to take twice a day for 5 days.... I made 10 5min appointments on Google Calendar and forgot about it. Next time I needed my medicine my Blackberry went all crazy.... THANKS GOOGLE SYNC. Cost = $0.

I need to take medication FOUR times a day for the rest of my life because of a liver transplant. I've tried this application. It is horrible! I won't even bother wasting time explain 'why' it is a horrible application. There are too many reasons to mention.

If you need medication reminders, setup recurring events in your free, built-in Calendar. If you need to make a change to a particular dosage, for instance, you open the event and change the information in the Notes section of your Calendar entry.

$10?!?! I have yet to find an application that is a bigger waste of money or available system memory.

Maybe 0.99 cents give me break way out of line!!!!!!!

I wonder when you can buy a BlackBerry phone for an average price of $500, why can you not buy such a useful app just for $9.99.

As it has been designed for medication alarm, it is not a bad deal at this price.

 
 
Posted by _dave_ Friday, Sep 18, 2009 876 days ago

I thought the price was $0.99, not $9.99.

I use the built in calendar or the very useful BBSmartAlarms that allows you to have multiple alarms with much functionality & snooze & alarm ringtone options as well.

According to the other reviews, the app doesn't funtion well & only has the option for ONE alarm.

My Blackberry Bold phone was purchased for $0.99 from walmart.com - not everyone can afford to overpay for things.

No way I would pay this much for an app that does that!!! YES..I did pay alot for my Bold!! But that does NOT mean I want to get robbed and pay for something that my phone does also!!

I think that every Blackberry has a cool feature called a calendar that you can set alarms in. why not just use that instead of spending 10 bucks on this. JW

I take over 10 pills a day for insulin resistance and hormone problems...and I still wouldn't buy this app. WAAAYY too much money. Just set up reoccurring alerts in your calender for gosh sakes!

I might get it if it cost .99 cents, but 9.99? Give me a break.

I don't mind spending good money on good USEFUL apps that add needed functionality to my Berry. I spent $30 on Beejive and I don't complain because it was totally worth it. This, however, is ridiculous.

especially since I have missed taking medications on time, but not for $10, I can simply schedule something in my calender and make it private. I could see this for a $2-3.
