The Pill is optimized for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.

Have you ever forgotten to take your birth control pill ? It can happen to any of us but now with The Pill iPhone App, it may never happen again.

The Pill will remind you to take your birth control pill every day at a time you choose, with a local notification alert (similar to an SMS). The application does not need to be running in order to receive the alert. Works also in plane mode.

Why not set yourself an alarm on your mobile?
The Pill iPhone app is much more than a simple alarm.

The Pill automatically calculates the 7 days stop period, and the 21 days when you are actually taking the pill. If you are using a 28 day pack then alerts will be sent to you every day. Alerts will not be sent during the 7 days stop period, they only occur during the 21 days when you are actually taking your pill.

You can see exactly when you have to take your pill, compare your real package with the one in the actual application and see if you have missed a pill or not.

Other features include:

- Customizable alert sound and background color
- Alerts received via email
- Extra alert request option

The female contraceptive pill is the most popular method of contraception, with 38% of women currently taking it. However, the Pill needs to be used consistently and correctly in order to be effective. Some types of contraceptive pill have to be taken at exactly the same time every day. This is why this iPhone app, The Pill, is so important to help prevent unwanted or unplanned pregnancies.

Advice: take your pill in the morning, if ever you forget to take it, you still can remember it during the day, it wont be too late (after getting asleep, you increase the risk to be more than 12 (or 3) hours late).

Pros and cons of The Pill app for iPhone and iPad

The Pill app good for

No need to upgrade/buy. You can change the sound of the alarm and match the image to your own pack! Gratuit et personnalisable!

I really like this app! Its very useful and reminds me to take my pill everyday. You set the time in once and the rest is done for you. You get a reminder via text everyday, depending on the time you put in. I However, I wish the design was a bit more descreet since its visible on my iPhone.

With the new update, this app works perfectly. Gives you a push reminder and allows you to pick which pill display to show so it will match with your pills. Love it!!!

Love it! It is very easy to use! Easy menu! I deleted pink reminder and got this instead. :)

It always reminds me to take my pi and I havent missed one yet :) love this app

Good App so far... Its very helpful to have the alarm to remind me to take my pill. Very user friendly:)

Some bad moments

Not worth money. Lack of basic functionality. Not showing days of the week, doesnt have multiple reminders, very few settings. Im angry that Ive spent money on that unuseful app

This app is a little too simple. I could use the alarm on my phone and it would be just as effective. I also wish that it had more options like what brand you use, a calendar for when you have your period, any side effects youre having. Also there were a lot of spelling errors. This app should be free. It has the potential to be a great app, and I cant wait to see any new updates.

This app has said "its time to take your pill" literally 9 times in the last two minutes. WTF? Has worked fine before this point.

This app had a permanent place on my phone, however today it began going off every 20 seconds with a Time to take your pill! alert. It continued going off even after deactivating the alarm. So I had to delete it.

Ever since I updated the app, it hasnt been working rite!!! It keeps telling me to take my pill at the wrong times. And when its actually time to take my pill, it doesnt notify me. Not too happy with the app at this moment Please fix it I loved the app up until this

Downloaded it, tried to customize it to fit The Pill I take, crashed. Tried to open the app, crashed three more times. Deleted it. Im not going to waste my time.
