Now non-functional

This app is vital but it needs at least an update to enable it to work on current operating systems. At the time of writing (v 24.1.5) it just stalls and you cannot submit any reports.

App crashes

Tried to report a side effect and it crashed during free text input. Come on developers. This is just not good enough for such an important bit of software.

Too buggy

The app has crashed twice now when I’ve tried to write in the free text box on symptoms. I’ve been unable to complete a report.

Downloaded to report a side effect on a new medication. Trying to be helpful. App doesn’t work. Very frustrating. Rubbish. Sorry but I think this doesn’t work on Purpose

Waste of time

Tried to report side effects of a statin but after 20 mins of entering details it seemed to freeze. What a waste of time😕

Useless

Spent ages filling in the information and then the app froze so can’t save. A frustrating waste of time. Worrying that important information on medications is not being captured as a result.

Very helpful and simple to use

The app simplifies the logging of side effects and works well. There are several questions for good reason but it still only takes 5 minutes.
The negative reviews seem to be from people who only want to moan about possible side effects rather than actually help the scientific data gathering for analysis.

POS

Downloaded the iPhone app. Couldn’t ever fill in basic address details ! I used to work with professional developers who would have been sacked on sight for this !

Great idea but..

Downloaded app as the website wouldn’t work. I really wanted to report the effects of my latest covid jab as they were so different from the previous 5. I have given up after battling with the app for nearly an hour on my iPad.
I am trying to believe that this is not deliberate and someone really does want to know about how the Sanofi jab has made me feel. However, it is not a user friendly app, and my time is too precious to spend trying to send a report - that just might be helpful to someone.

The report I sent is no longer available to view, it was also impossible to edit reports and now it’s no longer able to view news items, or do anything remotely useful with this app 🤬
