myPill for Android

Android 12 my drop down boxes are in the extreme bottom right corner. It is almost completely off the screen. This could use some updates.

They make you pay for having sugar pills and having 28 bc pills. I don’t think this is something they should charge you for

Not helpful if you need reminders until you take the pill, that is of course if you sign up for the subscription. Not worth it in my opinion as there are other apps that are not birth control oriented that still offer the same option in terms of reminders. If you are good and remember to take it and don’t need reminders than this is for you. Otherwise be prepared to be bombarded by requests from them to upgrade. NOT worth it!

No issues with anything very clear notifications to take the pill and lets users specify the date for starting a pill pack.

There are some features that are alright, and other features that I feel are a complete joke and set up terribly. If you are looking for a calendar/symptom tracker/reminder app, it does the job just fine. I do like the symptom tracker and notes. It does include a lot of birth control forms too, so that’s nice. On the other hand, the forum between users is a mess. At first I thought the feature was nice, where people can ask unfiltered questions if they aren’t comfortable or able to get in contact with the doctor. Sounds like a great idea too. However, very quickly do I see users say “do your research” and “stop posting questions that people have asked before,” etc. What seems most troubling is that no one appears to be certified, unless they are certified with “clout” because they interact with the comments for YEARS. I have a problem of people writing as if they are professionals. Just because you have researched the pill, or have taken it, does not mean you understand how other people’s bodies respond. My other note is that there can be little compassion towards people who are at different levels of understanding. Yes, I can read the papers on the pill, and look up stuff online, but some people have trouble processing and applying that information. On top of that, pregnancy scares are no joke, and sometimes you need support and help processing. Too many times I’ve read “stop asking questions other people have already asked,” or “just take the information you were given and stop asking” feels very compassionless to the situation. So if you want to post questions, my caution is that some of these women can come off very compassionless because they keep answering similar questions (on their own will too, no one said they had to respond to everyone). I can understand user frustration on both ends, but at the end of the day I think some people really need support through an insecure/uncertain time. By all means, this is a simple tracker, and does the job. It’s not an app I am enthusiastic about, but it’s hard to be excited over a pill calendar. It’s a 10/10 ranking for the tracking part. If you are looking forward to the forum, understand that it’s highly flawed, and extremely questionable on how helpful it can be. 3/10 ranking for the user interaction.
