medication reminder apps

[jessiblah]

Does anyone use a medication reminder app on their phone? I have used one in the past to remind me to take my lyrica but now i have lyrica, salagen, restasis, iron tablet, vit d, and soon plaquenil. Trying to remember all of these is getting difficult. The app i had only reminds me to take meds at what time but didn't allow me to put in more than 3 meds and it didn't let me put in how often. Anyone have any suggestions on a very cheap or free app for an android phone?

I have an iphone, but I am using the basic pre-loaded "clock" app. You can set "alarms" as reminders for anything, name it, assign sound/tone, frequency settings are VERY flexible. Right now I have 11 different alarms set. (there is a 9 minute snooze feature).  Surely there is something similar for android.  I even downloaded  "Medication Time...Medication Time..." (from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" movie!) and use it as my alarm for our 7am and 7pm med times! hee hee

Hmmmm, this is a great idea that I have not pondered before now.  I must search for an app like this to organize my daily parade of medication!  Let us inform each other if we come up with a good one.  So far, the important meds always get taken, the somewhat important ones get taken sometimes, and the least necessary almost never get taken because I am not under good time management.  I would love to have something remind me to take all of them.
