MyID Reviews

I used to think this was a great app and I made sure to have my sticker on my phone and the card on me whenever I went out, but they just released price changes that basically make the concept useless with the free version. You can only include personal information, emergency contacts, and “vital information” with the new version, which nearly all phones come with the ability to show for free already. Unless you’re willing to pay, there’s no use for MyID anymore.

I’ve used the bracelets for years and referred people to the product every chance I get. I love it. I recently decided to upgrade my account to the premium version. One feature of that upgrade I was most excited about was the pill reminder feature. When I went to set it up, the most frequent option for taking your reminder of a certain medication is once a day. That doesn’t work for my medicine that needs to be taken every 12 hours. And it’s not a medicine that I’ll be on short term. I emailed immediately asking about that feature - it’s been about 2 weeks and I still haven’t gotten a response. If there can’t be more flexibility in the medication intervals I doubt I’ll renew my subscription.

There is no way to back MyID up.... others I have tried others and you can backup to iCloud or Dropbox.

To print out all your info you have to send someone your info or yourself by using a different email address because you can not send to your self.

With a app like this you should be able to back up because your medications can change or new ones prescribed, or if you moved, changed phone number etc.

To add a birthdate you have to literally scribble month by month backwards on a calendar. If you are, say, in your 70s this is incredibly clunky. Took several minutes and when I paused wants to see you again if I could find another way to do it it didn’t go back to where I was and I had to start over. Infuriating. Also, be aware that the only way you can add documents is to upgrade to premium. If you want your Health info on the account without upgrading you have to manually enter everything. Smells like bait and switch to me. I got three of these and I’m so annoyed I’m trying to decide whether to cancel my account and return the mall or not. Oh, by the way, the only way to use this is to create an account on their app. I guess I should’ve figured that out ahead of time. Great idea. execution, not so much.

Over the years MyID has been very useful for me. With the recent update though, I cannot share my medication’s with emergency responders for free. This is a huge issue as some of my medication’s inhibit my ability to have certain types of anesthesia, which is incredibly important to know an emergency situation. This is a silly thing to make your customers pay for and is a basic feature of a lot of other apps. This could cause people to have serious issues and get seriously hurt if they can’t afford to pay, this is greed at its finest. I can understand wanting to pay to find physicians or other extra features, but making people pay for something as basic as sharing their meds is crazy.

I have a lot of health problems and wanted to find a good medical ID bracelet that wasn’t too clunky. I did some research and found this app and absolutely love the idea. I’m currently waiting for my bracelet to come, but wanted to get a start on my profile. I like the ease of access to MyID , however whenever I try to put information in, it takes forever to load stuff or to save anything. I tried deleting and re-downloading MyID to see if it would fix it but it didn’t. I think that once this issue gets fixed, MyID will be so much better

MyID does basic very well in that it is easy to log information related to conditions, allergies and medications, but it seems to miss on why people are most likely to use this and purchase this app products.
Most people that use this sort of app (like myself) have life threatening allergies, take medicines that come with warning cards (like steroids), have medical implants (I have a Spinal Cord Stimulator), or want to communicate critical information to medics - such as Do Not Resuscitate DNR.
MyID does not have a section for implants, does not allow you to flag that an allergy is life threatening, such as causing anaphylactic shock and allow you to flag anything more than donor status, such as DNR requests.
These would be so easy to add and would make MyID so much better. Instead you have to add as notes and/or highlight in notes.
My guess is that one reason they do this is to make you buy more of their products, for which they do have additional tags that you can purchase with pre worded warnings for implants etc. MyID seems like a means to an end of selling more products rather than being a great app. I hope the Dev reads this and considers new releases that are more than bug fixes, to continually update the functionality.

This is appealing because of the ability to update an app that will connect to all of your medical ID items. I have two bracelets. They are great. The issue I have is the inability to change the order of how things display in each category. If I add a medication or a surgery for instance the last thing I add is always at the top. I’d like to be able to adjust what’s at the top. I don’t want Pepcid AC being the first thing seen when the immunosuppressant I’m on is way more important. Also in two categories after I updated a ton of info into them (surgical history and family history) it deleted the info and I had to go in and add it all over again. Incredibly time consuming.

I am a firm believer that just about every person needs some form of a medical ID on them. My ID offers a wide variety of medical IDs that are revolutionary and life saving.
MyID is super easy to navigate and add all of your allergies, drugs and providers in. It allows you quick access to medication information at doctors appointments or in times of an emergency when one may not be able to give the information themselves.

I have had My ID for about a month. It sure is better to not have my bracelet sliding up and down my arm and bruising me too. I was volunteering with an EMT a week ago. I asked him if he would see this on my watch. He said he had heard of it but had not seen it.
Maybe you ought to contact some of the EMT associations etc. A big job but it would be worthwhile.

This product is amazing and it saves lives every day. I am from Mexico and at first I thought this product wouldn’t work for me since the medical condition are not translated. But this product is amazing and does in fact translate the headings. I consider this product to be revolutionary because in my ID all your info is online so you don’t have to engrave every time you get a new illness.
Particularly I can say that for my story it is perfect. I have a condition that is called disautonomía and some people think that when I faint I seize. In this product I said that I didn’t seize and since then I haven’t had any problem.
I highly recommend this product for your family safety and yours.

I discovered this a few years ago I bought it for my mom after she was hospitalized and the list of meds she carried on her was out of date and she ended up on the wrong meds. She wasn’t happy about it but now she loves the fact that I have and keep all her meds straight and with me at all times on my phone. I have one for myself I have Crohn’s disease and I just started a profile for my son who was recently diagnosed with cancer. I love that I can keep our profiles all on the same app it is so easy

Having such an informative device so readily available to first responders can truly be life-saving. The amount of information you can store is amazing, and with a simple scan from a first responders smart phone gives them everything they need. I am completely sold.

I LOVE this app & what a fabulous concept! I have a pretty complicated and rare medical condition and went for years without a medical bracelet. This was due to me not being able to concisely include my diagnosis & IV pump medication information in 15 characters or less. this app has eliminated this problem, making me feel much safer. I know now that in the event I cannot let emergency medical personnel know about my medical connotation, this app will.

I'm extremely grateful for MyID and the bracelet that links to MyID . It has been incredibly helpful for use with my adult daughter who has multiple mental health challenges. Hospitals are not always willing to try to use it, they try to rely on their EMR which are always incorrect. Thankfully, she presses them to “check my bracelet!”

I’ve ordered 3 items including a cube. Since the bracelets for the cube were made in small (6”, too small for me)and large (8”, too large for me) I called and asked if I could order just the cube itself. The kind lady who answered the phone wasn’t positive they were available but was encouraging and took my contact information to forwarded it to someone who would know. I’m happy to say I got the cube and now I’m making a custom bracelet for myself.

I’ve made several calls to the company and each experience has been pleasant. The reps were informative, helpful and kind.

Many thanks,

BethLynn

This is a great product to keep trap of yours or a love one’s medical conditions, especially if they can’t talk for themselves. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who has chronic medical conditions or who have a family member that has chronic conditions.

I have had MyID since before it became free. I keep both my spouse and my info in it. When my spouse had a medical emergency the hospital staff said it saved a lot of time and was thankful I had it. I want to see if there is anyway to share MyID with other family members (children/Grandchildren) so they can know their medical history.

A great way to keep track of your medical history. It is a little frustrating at times when you enter things or try to update specific info. However it is a great tool to have when you need to fill out all those stupid forms when seeing a new doctor.

I bought a Med id necklace for my husband, and the peace of mind it now brings me is unmeasurable!!! It took us days to get everything in MyID , but once done, I know he is covered when he doesn’t have me. He can also do more appointments without me because he now has MyID to help him remember everything he needs.
