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

A Medication Game Changer

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!

A Great Pill Box to Help with Medication Reminders

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.

I bought this pill case as a stocking stuffer for our teen daughter who is hypothyroid and often forgets to take her medication. So far, it’s worked really well. I deducted 1 star only because it only has 4 compartments, necessitating frequent refilling.

After using this pill storage box for, as of now, 5 days, it has helped me stay on-top of my medication usage since I always forget to take them at specific times. Every feature listed has worked as it should, such as the flashing/beeping to remind you it is time to take your medicine and the synchronization of your pillbox with the app to note when you took/missed your meds (I own an iPhone running iOS 14). I’ve subtracted one star due to the beeping reminder; the sound is not loud enough, not even for someone like me with excellent hearing. You will have to be in the same room to hear the beeping. Thankfully, your phone gets a notification from the app along with the beeping/flashing features. Overall, I love it and appreciate the hefty discount.

This is perfect if you have a lot of different medications that you take throughout the week, I would recommend the smaller one for everyday use and to carry in your pocket. Awesome concept though!

Serves it purpose...will gently remind you to take you medication or vitamins with a series of beeps at a scheduled time each day.

Great idea, terrible product and app execution

In a nutshell, I wanted it to work but TinyLogic needs to improve the app so it easily syncs like advertised.
I purchased this pill box because like most of us, every once in a while I get busy and sometimes forget to take my pills or worse, can't remember if I took my pills.
I did my research and selected this product because it's supposed to sync to your phone when you open it. When I received it, I installed the app, entered my meds into the app, and added my alerts. The app is terrible, but figured once setup, I would be good to go which is all I cared about.
Well, it's now been two weeks and I've had to go in a manually record my meds because the box will not sync with my phone (Pixel 3 XL)...even when my phone is sitting next to it and all app permissions for product syncing have been approved. If I have to manually go into the app to enter the time/date I took my meds, it absolutely defeats the purpose of helping me keep track of my medication habits. It would be a waste of $50 when you could manually record your dosage on your phone calendar.
I know this pill box was probably designed with older generations in mind (I'm 35)...but given how difficult it was to set up, maintain and the more manual maintenance nature of it because the syncing is terrible...I wouldn't recommend it whatsoever. And it's sad, because if it had worked, I would have purchased one for my mom and dad instead of returning it.

I started taking heart meds for the first time in my life and spent months missing pills or being unsure if i took them. This in a way helped save my life by helping me establish a routine for my meds. I'm honestly happy i have this.

If you need to take medication and you often forget because you have other stuff to do, then this box is the ideal connected solution. Reminds you when to take your pills through the app.
