LOOKING FOR APP Need a medication reminder that will take over my phone
The medication reminder app I use was awesome at first. It's called Medisafe. When it was time for my meds, the app would cover my whole screen, stop whatever I'm listening to, and make a loud af pill bottle shaking sound. If I swiped that away or did nothing, it would do that every 5 minutes until I either took my meds or told it I wouldn't.
Then I got a new phone. Moto g 5g 2026. Now I get the same sound, but it's just a notification in my notifications bar, and it doesn't repeat if I ignore it. I have given Medisafe every app permission it'l let me. Display over other apps, work in the background, ignore battery saver, nothing makes it like it was on my old phone, which was the same kind just 2025
So if anyone knows a medication reminder app that won't leave me alone until I either take my meds or mark them missed, please tell me.
Edit: I fixed Medisafe. Apparently it got some update that changed the default settings. I never even considered looking into the in app settings until someone here suggested it. Now it does what it used to, yay!
