iOS App: Refills

I've tried out tons of medication reminder apps but what I needed was an app to remind me when I need to call my pharmacy for a refill or call the Dr when a perscription is about to expire.  So far, the best by far is Refills.  Just enter your script information and dosage and it will send you a reminder a customizable number of days in advance.  There is also a page for doctor and pharmacy numbers so you won't have to look through your address book when you need to call.

The app is simple, clean-looking and no-nonsense.  It does what it says and does it well. The only things missing are a "Renew All" button and the option to include a photo of the pill and a photo of your insurance card (for when you make your phone call).  It also hasn't been updated in a while so I'm not sure if it's been abandoned or if the developers have taken the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach.

And yes, this app is compatible with VoiceOver.  There are a few "unnamed button" messages but nothing major.

All in all, a 4.5 out of 5.  I definitely got my money's worth; this is one of my most used apps.
