### 5/5 — Haz 800

*2023-01-26, version 1.2.6*

Great reference! Easy to navigate and puts the most appropriate information at your fingertips.

### 1/5 — Not worth paying for

*2019-07-19, version 1.1.3*

Pretty sad excuse for an app. Wish I could get my money back. I’m a pharmacist and this is no more helpful. Just a round about way of getting the same information.

### 1/5 — Not up to date

*2019-01-25, version 1.1.2*

Tried to use the app today to verify if risperdone was haz chemical/drug. App doesn’t list it, but NIOSH does. APP could lead to confusion as facilities try to prepare for USP 800.

### 1/5 — could not get started

*2018-07-17, version 1.0.2*

can't use it if you can't complete log in process. gave up after several attempts

### 1/5 — Where are the drugs?

*2018-03-01, version 1.0*

Unless I’m not using this correctly, I have not been able to find any medication that I’ve searched for: telmesartin, clopridigel, trintellix, amlodipine....

### 5/5 — Worth every penny

*2018-02-17, version 1.0*

So easy to use.  What can take hours to find available at my fingertips!  No drug label has NIOSH information on it.  Love it.

### 1/5 — Rip-off

*2018-02-09, version 1.0*

I am a pharmacy technician and I paid for this app to help me. They link you to information that you can get for FREE. Might as well not waste your money and just get all this information on Dailymed.
