Birth control, something very important to many women. Therefore, this app may should be very important to women.
The app myPill is dedicated to helping women take and keep track of their pills. The main page has a very unique layout: it is pill sheet with numbers corresponding to the day of the month. When a pill is pressed, there is the option to record information about the woman’s monthly cycle, mark a missed pill, write a note (even on future days), or start a new pill pack. There is also a calendar layout which does pretty much the same thing, depending on your preference. There is also a great history tab available to view past information all in one place.
One great thing about this app is its badge option. A badge is viewable outside of the app which can notify a woman how many pills she has left in her pill pack. There is an option to make this number always show, never show, or show when only a few pills remain (1-8 pills remaining to be specific).
There is also the great option for women to set a password to the app for those worried about snooping children, friends, or coworkers.
There is the option to receive a personalized reminder. This reminder can be sent at any specific time and it will simply pop like any other iPhone reminder and can be setup to be discreet so that it is not apparent that the reminder is for a birth control pill.
There is another reminder option for those without iPhones: this kind of reminder is sent by either SMS or email and is delivered exactly at the time specified, regardless of internet availability (at least for SMS). This reminder system allows significant others without iPhones to be reminded to take their pill.
This app will no-doubt be very important to very many women. It’s easy to use, looks good, and is very helpful.
