About Pillboxie

• Designed and developed by a registered nurse.

• Schedule reminders just by dropping pills into a pillbox.

• Reminds you on time, even if your device is asleep.

• No network connection required!

• Use Pillboxie on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch.

• Pleasant reminder sounds make Pillboxie a comfortable addition to your day.

• Customize your meds with tons of combinations of med types and colors.

• Pixel-perfect original graphics look great on Retina Displays.

• See a list of what meds are "due today" and check them off as you go.

2.3
Jul 19, 2012
✔ There's now a mark-all-complete button for each group in the Due Today tab.

✔ Added a pillboxie:// URL scheme so that Pillboxie can be launched from Launch Center Pro (update pending).

✔ Improved the appearance of the dose button in the Schedule screen so it's easier to discover how to set a custom dose.

✔ UI tweaks and performance improvements.

✔ Removed the terrible French localization. Apologies.
2.2.1
Jun 8, 2012
✔ Adds French localization. Merci, Claude!
✔ Minor bug fixes
2.2
Apr 2, 2012
WHAT'S NEW IN 2.2:

✔ ¡Bienvenido! Spanish localization!

✔ Benvenuto! Italian, too!

✔ Custom Med Images: New med type "Use Photo" pretty much does what it says. Snap a photo, or choose one from your library for all those meds that just don't look like any of the cool images that come with Pillboxie by default.

✔ Various bug fixes and performance improvements.

✔ Fixed: Missing 1024x1024 App Store icon.

✔ Fixed: Missing launch images.


==============

NEW SINCE 2.1:

✔ Retina Display Graphics for the new iPad. You won't believe how incredible it looks on that gorgeous display.

✔ Renamed "Snoozing" to "Nagging Reminders." Now the name more closely matches what the feature does. Nagging makes your reminders repeat once a minute every minute until you mark them complete. Snooze a reminder for a few minutes by tapping a "SNOOZE" button in the Due Today list.

✔ Set a custom time interval for the Snooze button. Keep in mind this only applies to the time delay after pressing the SNOOZE button. Nagging reminders will begin repeating every minute again after the snooze interval finishes.

✔ New Med Type: Drops (Eye, Ear, Etc.)


==============

BUG FIXES FROM 2.1

✔ AM/PM not appearing in Due Today items marked complete on iPhone/iPod Touch.

✔ Med icons weirdly resizing in the Due Today list on iPad.

✔ Privacy Mode not persisting between launches.

✔ Bad EULA link in disclaimer. Thanks Jordan!


==============


QUICK HELP


Can't cancel a reminder? A small subset of users have had trouble with their repeating reminders. Some quick fixes: try powering your phone off and then back on, then tap "Reset Reminders".

Reminders not going off at all? iOS 5 has made changes to the way notifications are presented. You now have many options to configure, which is cool, but it ends up changing some people's defaults when they upgrade to iOS 5. Go to the Settings app for your device, then "Notifications." Select Pillboxie from the list, and make the changes you need. Make sure they're turned on!

1.3.2
Dec 17, 2011
★ WHAT'S NEW IN 1.3.2

ADDED: Two new reminder sounds, both called "Harpsichord," one long and one short. Special thanks to Chuck Sinclair for these beautiful additions!

ADDED: Option to always open to Due Today tab on launch.


★ REMINDERS NOT WORKING ON iOS 5 ?

iOS 5 has made changes to the way notifications are presented. You now have many options to configure, which is cool, but it ends up changing some people's defaults when they upgrade from iOS 4 to iOS 5. Go to the Settings app for your phone, then select "Notifications." Select Pillboxie from the list of apps, and make the changes you need. Please let us know if this doesn't work. We're on Twitter day and night: @Pillboxie.
1.3.1
Oct 31, 2011
FIXED: A bug that caused Due Today items to appear overdue much earlier than they were supposed to, in certain time zones. A special thanks to the good-looking, intelligent, and charming folks in the UK who helped diagnose this issue.

Oct 17, 2011
NEW STUFF
=======

- New med types! Gelcaps and injections.

- Reset Reminders Button: in certain circumstances your reminders may need to be refreshed (if you've been travelling and the time zones are incorrect, or if a reminder you've deleted is still going off). Pillboxie version 1.3 is better about preventing these events, but for when they do occur, there's now a "Reset All Reminders" button in Settings that should do the trick.

- Tap a med in the Medications tab to display it's details.

BUG FIXES

- Fixed a bug that sometimes caused time zones to be incorrect when using Pillboxie while traveling.

- Fixes several bugs that caused version 1.2.3 to crash on launch. Sorry folks!
