Bedsider Birth Control Reminders Hack 1.3.1 + Redeem Codes

I know it is hard to please everyone, especially when we all have such differing opinions, needs, wants, and or preferences. HOWEVER, the app is terrible!
When I was in college I had the text message reminders and it was great!!! Then I switched from the pill to an IUD. Several years later when I realized the IUD isn’t for me and I went back to pill, I went back to the handy dandy Bedsider. The notifications wouldn’t come through half of the time and the other half of the time I wouldn’t clear the days before notification, so it wouldn’t make a difference when the next notification came through.
I am OCD and have to read texts messages and emails ASAP to clear the notification. It doesn’t bother my OCD when an app (that’s in a group) has a notification that didn’t come through as an alert. I miss the old Bedsider!! Now on to another birth control reminder system....

I love my Bedsider app. It’s consistent and adorable. Everyday I get a banner reminder at my set time and when I open it I get to read a super cute little message. Today my message was a link to an adorable video about sea lions and it said “you need this video about a sea lion rescue center in your life. Trust us, you need it.” And everyday the message is different and equally as fun, creative, and cute.

The only negative thing I have to say about the app is that the notifications I receive about reminding me to take my pill are not as eye catching as i was hoping. I would recommend making them a little more colorful or creative. Maybe add a text tone option so you get to pick the noise your phone makes when you receive your reminder. And possibly make an option to have the message sent more than once at different set times so there’s no chance of forgetting your pill.

I've never written a review for an app, but felt so overwhelming disappointed with the performance of this app that I felt the need to echo the other reviews listed.

I've used Bedsider text reminders for about 5 years now, and I loved it up to this app creation. Thanks to the original text service, I've only forgotten a pill twice over the past 5 years.

Now over the past several months since this app switch, I've forgotten my pill 6 times. That's a lot in a short amount of time, and I consider myself an extremely mindful and routined person. The app reminders are inconsistent, aren't as eye catching as a text message, and the banner notifications get lost in a sea of other notifications coming into my phone. What was key with the actually text service for me personally was that I would not open the text until I took my pill. That way, the text notification was always there and it was more prevalent given people are always texting/looking at their messages.

My best suggestion would be to offer users the OPTION of SMS text messages or the push notifications, similar to how GroupMe functions. This is your best bet if you want to keep users, otherwise this app is completely useless and I'll be deleting.

I don't understand. I thought maybe I had disabled notifications for the app...they're on. Then I thought maybe the app "forgot" that I had set a reminder and that I should re-edit it. Except I've done that at least 10 times now. They even have the audacity to ask me what kind of "text" id like to receive in the morning even though they know and you now know you won't be getting any notification.

I was so excited about the app because I thought it was a great way to remind me of my pill, refilling my prescription, etc. I'd been using the text service for years and loved getting my fun facts in the morning. With all of the apps out there, I'm shocked that a simple notification system isn't working. My teenage memory was even better than this app.

I am so mad Bedsider got rid of text reminders and switched to app notifications. I got daily text reminders from Bedsider for FOUR YEARS and didn't miss a single pill. NOT A SINGLE PILL. Now that Bedsider got rid of this option and switched to an app, I've had this app for FOUR WEEKS and have already missed my pill THREE TIMES. The app notifications are so easy to miss, and now lately the Bedsider app has stopped sending me reminders altogether. I'm really disappointed that users aren't given the option to receive their daily reminders by text or by app. I will probably just get rid of the app now and find a way to get pill reminders elsewhere.

I LOVE this app. I'm on the Nuvaring and this app has definitely helped me keep track of my in/out schedule. In the past I was relying on remembering when I last put it in based on what happened that day... Not very reliable. I'm very grateful for this app. HOWEVER, it does have a bug in which on every "out" week the notification reads "Put a New Ring In!" when it should be saying "Take Out Your Ring!" - so that has definitely thrown me off before but thankfully the calendar shows one icon for "in" and one icon for "out" to keep me on schedule.

I’ve never written a review for an app before, but I had to share my thoughts for this one. This app was referred to me by my doctor when I first got birth control I was excited to know that something will be helping me keep track of my birth control. Then to my disappointment I noticed an irregularity in my notification reminders. Luckily I caught this mistake early but this app DOES NOT send you reminders on the right days or anything. I’ve already spoke to my doctor to definitely not recommend this app to anyone, and I’m letting you know now too. Don’t use this app.

I am so disappointed in Bedsider for doing away with the text reminders and requiring users to download this app. I missed my pill several times because of how poorly the reminders work. I have deleted the app and downloaded a text reminder app that allows me to send myself a "Take your pill!" text at the same time each day. Bedsider really dropped the ball but at least other apps allow me to continue with the texts that actually help me.

As a woman on the combo pill I have a week of placebos on my packet. I do not take the placebos, therefore it is useless for me that the app reminds me to take my pill during this time. My only wish is that they would allow you to have the week you are on your period NOT send you reminders if you choose. Otherwise LOVE the app and never forget my pill!

I love the way Bedsider setup their new reminders! When I would get my reminders texted, I was always ignoring them, or didn't hear the notifications. With the app, they come through loud and clear, and the banner doesn't go away until I click on it, and I haven't missed any pills since downloading it.
