The design is one of the worst I have ever seen. The latest update has broken the ordering of repeat meds. The designers should actually read the app design principles published by Apple. Clearly, no proper testing done before publishing the app. My guess is that a Windows developer is winging it as a mobile developer. It is cumbersome and frustrating to use. It would be better for all concerned it they go back to the drawing board with this app. ### 1/5 — Worst UX *2025-12-26, version 2.9.78* Worst user experience in a pharmacy app Dis-Chem DeliverD is disappointing In this day and age of advanced technology, it’s shocking that a major organisation like Dis-Chem has such a poorly designed app. The search function is completely broken it simply doesn’t work properly. You type in exactly what you’re looking for, and it either returns irrelevant results or nothing useful at all. The overall UX is frustrating and outdated. For something as essential as a pharmacy delivery app (especially in emergencies), this level of poor performance is unacceptable. Rather than risk wasting time with this unreliable app, I’d prefer to physically go to a pharmacy or use a competitor’s service. It’s pure disappointment from such a big brand. Fix your app, Dis-Chem customers deserve better! ### 2/5 — Very buggy *2025-12-19, version 2.9.71* I keep getting logged out, I have to accept the legals every time I log in. It often fails to load my prescriptions. My orders disappear often, which isn’t great because it’s important prescriptions. Not a great experience ### 2/5 — Dis-functional *2025-12-12, version 2.9.71* The most annoying and awkward “App” I have ever encountered. It got two stars only because they were not removable. I only tried to use it because the telephone is another system this outfit can’t get to use efficiently. ### 1/5 — Badly designed and useless app *2025-11-30, version 2.9.68* The only good feature is that you can order repeat prescriptions. It is difficult to navigate and on top of that, it keeps logging you out if you dont use it just about every day. This type of app must keep you logged in or at least use apple face recognition. There are no benefit to being a member anymore as you earn no points, so no reason to be loyal to Dischem. ### 1/5 — Updated App Broken *2025-11-30, version 2.9.68* From a few days ago, the app stopped working, saying that my phone is rooted or jail-broken. That is simply not true. It has always worked okay until this past Friday. I queried on X, and they said that someone would get back to me, but no one did. Very disappointing experience! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-11-24, version 2.9.68* Consistently unreliable and unusable. I cannot believe that you continue to list an app that has received such poor ratings from virtually all users for so long. Several months later and no improvement. Avoid this app. ### 1/5 — DeliverD *2025-11-13, version 2.9.58* DeliverD is the most useless feature on the app. The search engine is terrible and about 80% of products don’t appear on the feature. This should be more convenient than visiting a store but it’s not even close. ### 1/5 — Believe the reviews *2025-11-11, version 2.9.58* Seriously, this app could be worse, but I don't know how. I suffered through the process only because I had no alternative. Changing supplier in order to avoid this nightmare in future, and bring joy back to my life. Now I've finished the transaction, I'm deleting. Pity they still get to harvest my data because I had to sign up for the service. ### 1/5 — Useless app *2025-11-10, version 2.9.58* It was a horrible experience using this app, after this recent update, it doesn’t allows me to access anymore because this App claimed that my phone is “jail broken or rooted” ridiculous ways that they came up so you don’t have to use their app and learning how rubbish this app is. ## Frequently asked questions about Dis ### What can I do with the Dis-Chem app?
