They don't need a smartphone. They need a text.
Most reminder apps require a smartphone and an app store. MedsYet works through plain SMS — any phone that gets texts, including flip phones and basic phones.

Frequently asked questions
Does MedsYet really work on flip phones?
Yes. MedsYet sends standard SMS text messages. Any phone that can send and receive texts — including flip phones, basic phones, and feature phones — works with MedsYet.
What if my parent can't type YES?
They can reply Y or YES — just one or three letters. If they don't reply at all, MedsYet escalates to a voice call where they can say yes or no, or press 1 for yes and 2 for no.
Do I need a smartphone as the caregiver?
You need any device with a web browser to set up and view the dashboard — a phone, tablet, or computer. Your loved one only needs SMS.
