Pill Minder 2 — Nice Idea, but FREQUENT LOCK-UPS
I have been using this app for about a week and find it very handy (when it works) in reminding me to take my meds at different schedules as many cant be taken at the same time. It allows many more options than Id expected. Its a nice interface and easy to use once past the "learning curve".
Id buy it again if not for the major problem described below. This is not ready for "prime-time" and I await a major and much needed upgrade.
The biggest problem is FREQUENT LOCKUPS with the "beach ball" spinning interminably. Of course reminders may not be issued when the app is locked up, and important meds could be missed.
Sometimes the lockups only go on for several minutes. Other times the app has to be Force-Quit and restarted. Right now its locked up with the "beach ball" showing when hovering over the icon or the sidebar.
This time the lock-up is major as the app doesnt show up on the Dock, the Application Switcher (Cmd-Tab), or in the Force-Quit menu. In other words, the app cant be Quit. Im going to have to Restart my Retina MacBook Pro running the latest Mountain Lion to clear this lock-up. (Is it also going to cancel my earlier reminders that I didnt get?) This is Dangerous and Unacceptable!
This app needs to be fixed, and soon because taking not taking meds, or not taking them on schedule, can be life-threatening. This app needs to do what it says it will do.
