Choose Pokii if you want the thinnest possible client: retatrutide and custom medications, a native iPad app, clinician-ready PDF reports, and Apple Health in place of its own food logging. Choose Veya if you want a broader record, doses, weight, symptoms and notes, backed by reminders that escalate until logged. Neither app is right for everyone.
Veya vs Pokii, feature by feature
A chosen set of dimensions, not an exhaustive feature comparison, and it deliberately leaves out supply/vial tracking and split dosing, which neither app is being compared on here. Every cell, including Veya's, is stated as recorded in the underlying research file; "unknown" means unverified, not absent.
| Feature | Veya | Pokii |
|---|---|---|
| Dose logging | Yes | Yes |
| Dose reminders | Yes | Yes |
| Escalating reminders | Yes | Not verified |
| Injection site rotation | Yes | Yes |
| Side-effect logging | Yes | Yes |
| Weight logging & charts | Yes | Yes |
| Body measurements | Yes | Yes |
| Data export | Yes | Not verified |
| Food logging | No | Partial |
| Estimated medication-level curve | No | Yes |
| Provider-neutral | Yes | Yes |
* Not verified means we could not confirm this either way from the app’s own published material. It does not mean the feature is absent.
Where Veya is different
Veya's record is not tied to whoever prescribes the medication. Change providers, or move from a telehealth subscription to a local pharmacy, and the tracker does not need to be rebuilt: it was never built around a single provider in the first place, and Veya doesn't sell or prescribe medication itself.
Reminders repeat until a dose is actually logged, breaking through Focus and Do Not Disturb, and the dose can be logged straight from the notification itself, a gap confirmed absent across every app in the set including Pokii. A dose taken later or earlier than planned is recorded as an ordinary entry rather than an error, with the schedule adjusting around it, because the app asks whether you took it rather than assuming.
The record itself is broad: doses with injection site shown on a six-zone body map, symptoms logged with severity on the day they happened, weight tracked against a goal as a trend, and body measurements across waist, hips, chest and thigh. History filters by kind, sorts by date, and exports as CSV, including after cancellation, and logging works offline first, saving on the phone and syncing when there's a signal.
What Pokii's reviewers report
Pokii reviewers have reported the app introducing charges for features that used to be free, a change one reviewer flagged even though the review's own title reads as praise, which the quote below shows plainly.
Other reviewers have reported wanting a fixed weekday dosing schedule to support split dosing, a feature their accounts describe as currently unsupported and requested more than once.
1-star review titled "Love this app" — the title predates a reported paywall change described in the body.
Update: Well I used to love this app til they decided to charge for everything but nothing different changed in the app which is sad.
I just wish I could set a permanent dosing day schedule (i.e. every Monday, Thursday) or every 3.5 days for those of us that split doses. That's the only thing I would recommend improving at the moment.
What Pokii does well
What Pokii genuinely does well Covers retatrutide and custom medications. Native iPad app.
Which one to pick
If a deliberately thin app that leans on Apple Health rather than building out its own food logging is what matters most to you, particularly if you're on retatrutide or another custom medication, Pokii is a genuinely strong choice, and reviewers who tested several rivals before settling on it back that up. If you want a deeper record across doses, symptoms with severity, body measurements and notes, held together by reminders that keep prompting until the dose is actually logged, Veya is built for that instead. Reasonable people land on either side of this, and the honest answer depends on which of those two priorities matters more to you.
Is Veya better than Pokii?
Neither is better in every respect. Pokii is a deliberately thin client that leans on Apple Health, with support for custom medications including retatrutide, a native iPad app and clinician-ready PDF reports. Veya is provider-neutral, and keeps a broader record of doses, symptoms, body measurements and notes with reminders that escalate until logged.
Does Pokii require a subscription?
Pokii publishes its own subscription tiers alongside a separate optional tip jar, according to its own App Store listing. Reviewers have repeatedly described choosing it because they were able to use it without subscribing, though one reviewer reports a later shift toward charging more, so check current pricing directly in the App Store rather than assuming it's free.
Can I get my history out of Veya?
Yes. Veya's history can be filtered by kind and viewed in date order, and exported as CSV, including after cancellation, alongside dose, symptom, weight and measurement records kept in one place.
How does Veya handle injection-site rotation?
Veya shows six zones on a body map and displays where the last dose went, so you're not relying on memory to rotate sites.
