Translations to check
Help check Nexpill in your language.
Nexpill is a free medication timing app for caregivers. It speaks six languages besides English, most of them first drafts that no native speaker has checked yet. Each one needs someone to read it in the real app, the version you already have or can get from the main page. A wrong word here can mean a dose given at the wrong time, so this matters. Thank you for helping.

What to check
About half an hour, at your own pace. Use made-up people and medications, never anyone's real ones. Nexpill keeps everything on the phone, and you can delete it all afterwards in Settings.
1. Switch to your language
Nexpill follows the phone's language. To pick one just for Nexpill, go to Settings → Language. Check that name and the menu read naturally.
2. Add a pretend person
Add someone you care for, then a medication or two. Try each kind of schedule: every few hours, at set times, as needed, and a taper. Read every label and hint.
3. Watch the statuses change
Give a dose, then look again later: "next dose at", "due soon", "due now", "overdue". These are the words that matter most; see the table below.
4. Reminders
In Settings, Send a test reminder. Then let a real one arrive and use its buttons. Reminders are read half-asleep, so they must be short and clear.
5. History and corrections
Open a medication's dose history. Correct an entry's time, skip a dose, delete one. Check the wording of every question the app asks before it changes something.
6. What leaves the phone
Make the printable medication summary and save the dose history as a spreadsheet. Someone else, perhaps a doctor, will read these in your language.
Beyond wrong words, tell us about anything that sounds machine-made, too formal or too casual, text that's cut off or doesn't fit, and places that are still in English. (The name Nexpill, and anything you typed yourself, stay as they are.)
The words that must be exact
A tired caregiver who reads "due" where the app means "can be given", or "missed" where it means "overdue", may give a dose at the wrong time. Please check that your language keeps each of these meanings apart, everywhere it appears.
| In English | What it must mean |
|---|---|
| due now | The dose should be given now. |
| due soon / due in 8 min | Not yet; it will be due shortly. |
| next dose at… / too early | Not yet; giving it now would be early. |
| can be given | For as-needed medications: allowed now, never required. |
| overdue | It was due and hasn't been given. |
| missed | So late that the next dose is nearly due. |
| skip | Deliberately not given; the schedule carries on. |
| correction | Replaces a mistaken entry, which stays in the history. |
Nexpill never gives medical advice, in any language. If a sentence reads like it's telling someone what to take or how much, that's a mistake worth reporting.
Tell us what you found
One message per problem is easiest, but a list is fine too. Write in English or in your own language.
For each problem, the most useful things are: the screen it's on, what it says now, and what it should say. A screenshot helps; email it to us, as the form can't take attachments.
Only what you type here is sent, by email, to SuperDaveLab. Nothing from the app is included. Leave your email out if you'd rather not be asked follow-up questions.
