 LOVE this Product! Nov 08, 2007
By Alison Ginter
"Goddess Alison"
I was in a desparate search for the perfect pill tray for both my son and me who take pills in the AM and PM. A pill tray is helpful to me because I am dreadfully forgetful as to whether or not I have taken my pills or not and is helpful for my son so that his doses are pre-dosed for him for easy taking (and we know if he's taken his dose or not). The individual pods are a fabulous feature because if we're running out to dinner, we just pop the pill pod into a purse or pocket and know that the pills will be with us and never miss a dose! I brought it on vacation with me as well and each day would just grab my pod for the day and off I'd go! We couldn't have found a better pill tray!

 Big Enough But Problems May 05, 2009
By William Martz
"puzzler"
I bought this pill organizer because I only take pills in the morning and the evening; some of the pills are large so I needed space; and I was trying to speed up the time it took to take my pills.
Positives:
1 - It is large enough to hold all my pills, even the large ones.
2 - It is easy to identify the day and see if the pills have been used.
Negatives:
1 - The lid is heavier than the bottom so when I fill them, the bottom is at an angle and the pills can role out.
2 - There is only one lid covering both of the two sides. Therefore, in the morning I cannot just tip it over into my hand. Since I have to take the pills out with my fingers and the pills are different sizes, the small pills fall out or to the pills on the night side. It also takes away the time advantage I thought I was getting.
3 - It is not very compact.
The negatives are very large for me and I will look for another solution. I do not travel for a day or two so taking the individual pods is not an advantage to me.

Perfect Nov 26, 2007
By Tanya
I initially bought 2 of these-one for my daughter and one for me. It's perfect to send a couple of days worth of pills off with my daughter when she visits grandma for the weekend as 2 different pills are the same shape and color and they need to be taken twice a day (really easy to confuse them).
Then grandma saw it and commented that it was perfect for her larger pills she takes twice daily so I bought one for her. Now her friends are all over it and wanting one!

 7-day med tray Feb 08, 2008
By PCilla
This was purchsed for an elderly Aunt. The exterior of these individual pill boxes is too slippery; she was unable to hold them and return to the tray. Also, I bought the item because I thought the box lid was separated so that AM and PM could be opened individually. That is not the case; it's in one piece. When when opened, the meds could accidentally be spilled into another section. Great concept but needs some modifications.

Good concept, poor execution Jul 20, 2010
By Nebraska Joe
I was excited to get this product after reading the reviews. I had previously used a 7 day, one compartment per day, each connected to the other (like you would purchase at the drug store). Each day I would have to sort out the morning from the evening pills so I was looking forward to the AM/PM pills being separate as well as having one detachable "pod" per day. When I began using it, I found the following flaws, which were very annoying:
1. I always load my pills at the beginning of the week like an assembly like. So I lined up each of the pill container pods on my countertop and opened them all. They immediately TIPPED BACKWARDS TO REST ON THE HINGE (each lid making a 45 degree angle with the countertop). This made filling each pod impossible without picking each one up and manually filling one, closing it again (so they don't fall out when I set it back down, picking up another bottle of pills, and repeating the process. With my old system, I could open all the days and fill all of them. I ended up trying to prop the back lid against a wall but since they are so slippery and oval shaped, they tended to slide back down).
THIS IS WHAT SHOULD BE FIXED: THE LOWER LID SHOULD BE HEAVIER THAN THE UPPER LID SO IT CAN REST FLAT AND HAVE A LOWER CENTER OF GRAVITY. ADDITIONALLY, THERE SHOULD BE A RUBBER PAD OR LOW FRICTION SURFACE UNDER THE LOWER LID TO DECREASE TIPPING AND SLIDING.
2. It's unbelievable that each compartment (morning and evening) does not have it's own lid. WOW. Taking out the morning pills is difficult without the PM pills spilling out too. Also, when filling them, AM and PM pills can easily fall into the other compartment (or fall out of the pod).
FIX: MAKE TWO SEPARATE LIDS PLEASE!!
3. I don't consider myself "elderly" but these are SLIPPERY CONTAINERS. They often slip out of my hands and with meds inside, this is dangerous for losing pills (you absolutely don't want any falling on the floor with kids or pets around).
4. The lids do not reassure me that they are closed securely. Opens too eaily. No nice snap sound. Furthermore, the opening mechanism is such that you need to lift the left tab upwards while the right tab downwards. I could not figure out how to open it for a short while and this requires some small amount of dexterity (again, perhaps not best for some people).
So good concept, needs improvement. I am a 5 stars or 1 star person, but the most I could give this is 1.5 to 2 stars.
