How to choose

First decide what you need: dose reminders or an inventory of the medicines at home with expiration dates. Then read the free version's limits rather than the word “free”: number of reminders, number of packs, ads. Finally, check the privacy label on the listing: free apps with ads often list data used for advertising or tracking.
