FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers to common queries about MediTime — your ultimate paracetamol (Calpol) and ibuprofen tracking app.

What is MediTime Timer, and how does it work?
MediTime is a timer app designed to keep track of all your family's Paracetamol (Calpol) and Ibuprofen doses. It provides timing notifications, ensuring you know when it's safe to administer another dose of pain remedy to your loved ones.
Is MediTime Timer available for both Android and iOS devices?
Yes, MediTime products are installed as Progressive Web Apps (PWAs). While Android supports this feature natively, Apple is currently in the process of adopting it. You can still install MediTime on your Apple device by following the instructions provided on your screen after selecting the install button.
How does MediTime help prevent accidental overdosing?
MediTime provides a clear visual display of previously administered doses and precise countdown timers showing exactly when the next safe dose can be given. This prevents both early dosing (which could lead to overdose) and late dosing (which could allow symptoms to return). The app supports both paracetamol (Calpol) and ibuprofen tracking simultaneously.

How can I switch between light and dark themes?
On the main screen, you'll find the Light/Dark button at the bottom. Use it to dim the display at night, providing a more eye-friendly experience. This feature is particularly useful when checking medication times during the night.
Is MediTime Timer available in different languages?
Not as yet but we are working on it. We plan to add multiple language support in future updates.
Can I backup and restore my dosage history?
Currently, MediTime does not have backup and restore functionality. This is a feature we're actively developing for future updates to provide extra peace of mind.
Is MediTime Timer free to use, or are there any in-app purchases?
The free version of MediTime is completely free to use and includes only a non-intrusive ad banner at the bottom of the main screen. Our Family purchased version is ad-free and guarantees privacy, as none of your information is sent to a server. Upon purchase, the Family version receives a unique serial number, which is solely used for confirmation purposes.
Does the app work offline?
Yes! Both the Free and Family versions work offline, providing seamless functionality even without an internet connection. For the Family version, only a one-time internet connection is required to validate the purchase, after which the app works completely offline.
How secure is my data and medication information in the app?
We prioritize your privacy. MediTime does not transmit any personal information online; all timing data is solely stored on your device. This approach ensures maximum privacy and security for sensitive family health information.
