What's New in MyAidKit 1.0.1: Quantity Units, Localized Notifications & Numeric Months

Hey everyone! 👋

The first update since release is here — small but mighty, and shaped almost entirely by your feedback. Three changes that fix real-world papercuts.

Count powder in sachets, not just grams

The most-heard pain point: "I have ten sachets of paracetamol powder, and your app insists on showing them as '10 g'."

You were right. Powder isn't always sold in jars where grams make sense. It often comes in single-dose packets, or measured by scoops. Same story for liquids (sometimes you count bottles, not millilitres), creams (tubes), sprays (pumps or doses).

Now you can choose the unit that fits your medicine.

When you pick Powder, Liquid, Cream, Drops, or Spray as the form, a new Unit picker appears in the Quantity section. Pick "sachets" and the stepper increments in whole packets — not 5 g jumps. The display correctly says "10 sachets" — and in Ukrainian, German, and the other supported languages, it follows proper grammar (different forms for different counts).

Pick Sachets instead of grams when your powder comes in single-dose packets.

The unit picker fits naturally into the iPad's split-view Add Medicine sheet.

If you don't change anything, your existing medicines stay exactly as they were. The new picker only appears for forms where multiple units make sense, and existing data uses the form's default.

Notifications now match your app's language

A subtle but annoying issue: if you set your iPhone's app-level language to Ukrainian (or any non-system language), MyAidKit's UI followed — but the notifications stubbornly stayed English.

That happened because of how iOS handles notification text. By default, it picks up the device language at delivery time, ignoring per-app overrides.

We switched the implementation so notifications resolve at scheduling time using the app's current language. Change MyAidKit's language in iOS Settings → MyAidKit, and your reminders follow.

While we were in there, we polished some translations — proper Ukrainian phrasing for "term has expired" (no more ambiguity with "ran out of stock"), correct grammatical case for the fallback kit name, and natural plural forms across all five languages.

Months show numbers in the date picker

Look at any medicine package: the expiration date is printed as EXP 07/2029, not EXP July 2029. So when you'd open the date picker and see "January, February, March…", you had to mentally translate "07" to "July" each time.

Now the picker shows "07 July". Same wheel, but now you can scan visually against the package in your hand.

MyAidKit medicine date picker showing months prefixed with two-digit numbers, like

07 matches what's printed on the package — no more mental conversions.

The numeric prefix works just as cleanly on the iPad's roomier date wheel.

There's also a quiet linguistic fix here: in Ukrainian and similar inflected languages, the system was using the in-context (genitive) form like "січня" instead of the proper standalone "Січень". Now the picker uses the correct nominative form for a standalone list.

What's next

We're listening. If something feels rough or there's a feature you wish existed, drop us a line — that's literally how this update happened.

MyAidKit keeps getting better. Stay tuned!
