  • Mr

    App is advertised as being for UK. Turns out to be good only for the USA. Total waste of £0.79!
  • It does what it says - finds pills by marking

    This app is something that was missing:
    Recognizing pills by their markings & birdsongs.

    If you know anyone, or help anyone manage their pill minders - it can be daunting to track many medications and schedules. This does what it says: It identifies pills. I wouldn’t say it was easy.

    Using this tells you what a jumble it is to be a pharmacist. All it does is search the db for the meds & deliver choices. It did not find any pills in the shape of Fred Flintstone, however.

    This rates the app back to itself. I can’t rate this against similar applications, because I won’t buy every one to assess them properly.

    What would be useful:
    Being able to capture identification information by groupings locally would be useful. You can do that now, with screenshots.

    It means that one has to trust that a person has kept the medication screenshots current & the onus is placed on the user for accuracy.

  • Totally Trust-Worthy

    This is the ONLY pill identifier I will ever use, and I've tried probably every one of them!
    It even tells you what meds will interact or interfere with the ones you're already taking.
    I love this app!! Everyone needs this particular app if u take more than one kind of medicine!!!
    Especially maintenance type meds ( High BP, cholesterol, ect..) I even went ahead and paid for the Pro edition. It's worth every penny! I'd give it more than 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️s if it gave me the option!

  • Awesomeness! Helps with my Mammaw!

    My Mammaw has cancer and is in numerous meds, always adding something new to what she already takes. She tends to drop pills or forget one in her pill reminder and this app help so much when I find a pill I can't identify. It definitely helps tremendously when she gets a different brand of a pill she is already taking and the new manufacturer's brand looks different to her.

  • Enjoy this useful app

    I am a busy physician, and must identify pills my patients bring in, as well as other identification tasks. I have found this program to be very useful. I haven't discovered any particular bugs yet, although one time I did look for a pill that it couldn't find. I believe another online data base yielded a solution. Dr. J. Benson

  • A must have for medical professionals

    I was volunteering in a clinic on a remote island in Honduras, and patients would come in with baggies of pills they were taking. Thank god I had downloaded this app to my phone before I lost WiFi. It was invaluable for identifying and finding pills that people would describe. The images are great! Find pills by color, shape, imprint, score or image!

  • Best app for looking up/Info of meds!!!!

    I've got to say this is the best application for looking up on medications in general it's Great on giving you information on all meds!!! Maybe you found a pill and you don't know what it is type in the numbers and letters and whatnot and it will tell you what exactly that pill is.
    or the medications you are currently taking great on giving you information on what generic manufacturers are making your medications so if you have issues with taking certain generics like I do it's a great application to have to give you information on generally everything about medications it's a must-have app if you are taking any medication it will give you all the information you need interactions with the Meds, FDA information, Classification of the medication and so on.

  • Great but cold use...

    I really like this app. I like having all the info at my fingertips and with flash cards or small note books you can't have all the info you really need in your pocket, until NOW! There is, however, one thing I would love to add. A way to "favorite" or create a file that has the ability to link to your favorite or most used meds. But great app! Tank you!

  • Saved a life

    My mother-in-law received her pain medication from pharmacy, after she took two tablets, she told me that
    the medicine was a different color. I looked the medicine up on pill identifier instead of being 5 mg it was 30.
    Contacted her doctor and poison control, they told me what to do because of the sever affect on her stomach
    she threw up and we kept her awake until it was safe to let her go to sleep.

  • Helpful @ hospital

    My father was having a procedure 3 days ago and he was having to give a list of his meds before the procedure. He didn't have his list so he was going from memory. He gave them a name of a prostate med and wasn't sure of the spelling or the pronunciation. The nurse put it in their computer & nothing came up. I put it in this app and it pulled right up. We went and showed it to the nurse and she was able to pull it up on her computer. Aside from being scared that we could find it and the hospital couldn't, we were impressed with the app. Thank you!
