I was hesitant to order from reviews but they were on sale and I'm glad I ordered these are great it works like it says it does! I get reminders on when to take medicine people say you can't hear reminders it is a light sound but with hearing loss in both ears I still hear that beep! I only wish it had a alert when you leave house and forget to throw the pill box in your bag! Highly recommend to anyone who forgets to take their medicine and very easy to set up and customize alarms w pills etc I also had labels I added to mine because class 2 and not in original container

I backed this product when it was on Kickstarter years ago and it remains the one campaign/product that I am truly proud to have backed, thereby helping fund it and bring to market. I recently spilled orange juice and it ended up getting all over my original Deluxe Memo Box. It still works (the thing is a trooper and has been going for years), but it sticks and so I went to look to see if I could order another. I was bummed to see it sold out on TinyLogics’ site, but absolutely ecstatic to see it on BB and on clearance. I guess the company is focusing more on the smaller form factor of the Mini Memo Box, but unfortunately I take meds 4 times a day and so the 3-slot Mini Memo Box wouldn’t work as easily for me. My Deluxe Memo Box which I received as my backer reward from the initial Kickstarter campaign has worked for years, faithfully and with a 100% track record. It has saved me from missing medications and/or double dosing since the day I started using it. Because I have to take meds every 6 hours, I inevitably end up having to take medication overnight and I would often wake up and go to take my meds and fall asleep sitting up or I would wake up in pain and take something for that but forget that I’d woken up to take my scheduled medication. I’d then wake up a short time later and have no idea if I actually took my medication or not. Being over cautious I would then skip taking that medication as I did not want to risk double dosing. This meant that I was often in pain unnecessarily. This all changed when I got my first memo box and all of those things would be a very rare exception now. I won’t go over every aspect of how Memo Box works, because that info is available on the product page in text and a video, but I will say that it works exactly as described and will do so for years. The app is great and has helped me keep track of my medication, especially as I am on quite a few more meds than I was when I started using the Memo Box. I do share my info with my husband and he will receive a notification if I forget to take a dose and that has worked as intended and saved me more than once from missing a dose. I think this feature is geared towards elderly users or those who have issues with memory, but that’s not always straight forward as I’ve had memory issues due to being exhausted and made use of this feature. The app can be very helpful if you ever need to slowly adjust the times you take your medication as it’s very easy to change the times of your doses and the meds in that dose. I also like the feature which allows me to temporarily delay a particular dose in 30 minute increments without having to change that dose and potentially forget to change it back. It’s also nice to be able to “snooze” the alarm for a short time using a button on the Memo Box. Customer service has always been great with someone getting back to me quickly, although I haven’t had to contact them in the last year. I simply have nothing but great things to say about the TinyLogics smart pill boxes (in all of the different form factors), especially the Deluxe Memo Box. I’ve yet to find another smart pillbox that has every feature this does in a rather small and elegant form factor. Seriously, buy this now while you can and if you miss out on it, head over to TinyLogics and grab a Mini Memo Box, you will not regret it!

I am a Best Buy Employee, and I've purchased this Memo Pillbox for my Grandmother. She's starting to have some memory problems and wouldn't remember if she had taken her medication for the time of day. She's also in the habit of refilling her Pill Box ASAP, which made it a bigger issue because she has a hard time remember what day of the week it is. We also wouldn't know when she's running low and need refills. The Memo Box works well for us because we can set reminders for when she needs to take her medication for her. There's a small speaker that will beep when it's time. Multiple reminders can be set. There's also an LED on the box which lights up if you accidentally open the box twice within a specified time, which helps prevent double dosing. Another neat feature is the Memo Health App that's available for Android or iPhones, whether you are using this for yourself, or are a Caregiver; It allows you to set refill reminders. You can take a picture of the pills or the label of the medicine, specify the quantity you have and the daily dosage. The App will remind you when it's time to refill. Couple Other features that may not be visible in pictures or descriptions until we purchased: - Family Tracker: Track Multiple people, and see their records - Multi device tracking: Track multiple Pill Boxes - This unit comes with a 4 doze box, there's a 7 day cartridge that can be purchased (Sold separate) to replace the 4 doze. We purchased just the 4, and She refills it daily. Not giving it a 5 start because there are some limitations: - The Device does need bluetooth to transmit to the App. If you're a caregiver and buying for a loved one, I recommend connecting it to a tablet or some other simple and basic phone/tablet they have that has internet and Bluetooth. That way they get the local reminders, and you can receive reminders, remotely. - The App is slightly lacking. It's not bad, but it's definitely not an example of Great. There's some areas of opportunity, and the developers have made updates to it. - if you have more than 7 or 8 pills for each doze, they might not all fit inside, but depending on size, shouldn't be a limiting factor. In conclusion, I recommend the Memo Box if you, or someone you know has a hard time remembering if they've taken their medication, or are worried about double doses.
