“Clearly the best choice in taking out the guess work of selecting medications and offering alternative choices for your patients. It has clearly reduced staff time getting authorizations… one of the few solutions out of this morass and does a better job than our EHR system or anything else I’ve seen.”

“This is a must have for primary care providers.”

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2026-04-02, version 4.0.3*

Terrible

### 1/5 — Sales

*2026-04-01, version 4.0.3*

It’s a shame that this app does not work anymore.

### 1/5 — Never works

*2024-02-05, version 4.0.3*

I’ve deleted and redownloaded and it still NEVER works.

### 5/5 — An excellent help

*2023-03-15, version 3.9.5*

Information crucial when you have a debilitating illness like Diabetes

### 3/5 — Needs to be updated.

*2023-03-01, version 3.9.5*

Inaccurate information

### 1/5 — Where is the Paid version of this app?

*2023-01-27, version 3.9.5*

Can’t seem to find the paid version of this app

### 5/5 — Great tool!

*2023-01-25, version 3.9.5*

Very helpful tool to decide which med is covered on a patient drug plan

### 3/5 — Love it when it works

*2022-12-08, version 3.9.2*

It keeps shutting down  and throwing you out of the app

### 5/5 — Office use

*2022-08-30, version 3.9.1*

I use this with my patients everyday! So helpful

### 5/5 — The best app of its kind

*2022-05-06, version 3.8.5*

So let me say first that the info is not always accurate but there are really no other apps that have good formulary data compared to this one. 

I use this app all the time because the insurances scheme and when they reject a drug, they hardly ever tell you what is on their formulary to replace it.  You have to guess or use this app. 

So far I would say it is 90% accurate. That saves me LOADS of time. If you are a primary care prescriber you know how much time is worth these days.

Buy this app. You will not regret it.
