### 2/5 — Needs updating to work on current iOS

*2021-08-04*

Won’t work until it’s updated to run with the latest iOS.

### 4/5 — A good app that could be improved

*2015-03-03*

I just bought the app and it was well worth the $2.99.  There is an annoying click when a drug is selected.  They could eliminate that to improve the app.

### 4/5 — MD

*2014-12-12, version 4.0*

Great app until I upgraded to IPhone 6 and it became mute. Looking forward to a quick bug fix

### 3/5 — Nice, but not altogether accurate.

*2014-07-25*

Nice to have drug pronunciations at your fingertips, particular the multisyllabic ones that you’re just not sure about.  That said, some of the pronunciations are wrong.  The benzodiazepines, for example.  Diazepam is pronounced di AZE e pam. Those in the know know this.  But all in all, it’s worth the small price.

### 2/5 — Needs update for frequently

*2014-05-16*

Many new drugs are on market for a while but still dont have in apps.

### 3/5 — Works well

*2014-03-19, version 3.1*

Works well for the drugs it has. Would be nice to have an idea how often the list is updated, no app updates in over a year does not seem promising. I wonder if the people who say it doesn't have sound have left their phones in vibrate mode as it doesn't work then for some reason.

### 2/5 — Okay app

*2013-04-10, version 3.1*

Has helped with some tongue twisters and is relatively cheap. It is missing quite a few drugs though.

### 3/5 — RN

*2011-12-19, version 3.0*

I like the app it does what is says, but feel that pro should be without ads.

### 4/5 — Get rid of the ads

*2011-11-21, version 3.0*

I use this app all the time at work and it's the only app I need. I would give it 5 star rating if I didn't have to deal with the ads. I paid for this app so I shouldn't have to see the ads. Please get rid of the ads.

### 5/5 — 5 star app

*2011-07-31, version 3.0*

Does exactly what it claims and does it well.  New functionality of Favorites section and Recently played work great.  Tons of accurate pronunciations.  5 stars

### 1/5 — NO APP SUPPORT

*2018-07-03*

Their website is down. Email address does not work. I’m surprised they still collect money for this app. The idea was good. But there is no one behind the wheel running this thing.

### 1/5 — Unhappy

*2017-05-13*

Bought this app for audio pronouncing of medication and there is no audio. Don't buy

### 1/5 — Is anyone listening?

*2016-08-20*

This app is not worth $2.99! Developer has not updated app in 2 years and does not respond to questions, reviews, or requests to add new drugs! I suggest trying the free app Howjsay or  using google!

### 1/5 — App is not working -Need refund

*2015-08-11*

After reading the review I purchased the app. Pronunciation function is not working. App support is no where to be found- when click on app support it goes to Facebook instead. They don't make it easy. You call this an pronunciation app and the key function is just not working, period. I want my money back!

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE!!!!

*2014-01-21, version 3.1*

After it installed and I tried to use it, it had no sound at all. Such a waste!!!

### 1/5 — No sound???

*2013-10-23, version 3.1*

Worked great for a short time. Now there's no sound???

### 1/5 — No sound

*2013-09-14, version 3.1*

What happened it use to work ! Please fix.

### 1/5 — Total waste

*2013-05-12, version 3.1*

Worked the first time I opened it and has never had any sound since. Waste of my time, effort and money. Don't waste any of yours. Certainly doesn't deserve the one star I'm forced to give it to submit this review.

### 1/5 — Very Useful but Annoying

*2011-12-12*

I bought app a couple of years ago. Actually it works very well especially who wants to know the correct pronunciation of drugs.

However, recently every time I open this app, I have to see horribly annoying advertisement. It really sucks. If it wasn't, I'd give 5...

### 1/5 — Advertisements when pull up app.

*2011-10-23, version 3.0*

Advertisements when pull up app.

### 5/5 — Update

*2021-08-12*

I love this app.   But now it don’t work with the new version of iOS.  Please update the app.

### 5/5 — I like it!

*2014-05-22, version 4.0*

I like it.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-04-12*

Helped me to improve my pronunciation.

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2014-04-06*

This app helped me a lot during my pharmacology course.

### 5/5 — Absolutely love it...

*2012-12-02*

I have most of Hipposoft apps and my only complaint about this app is that it needs to be updated more. I obviously wouldn't be complaining if this was a book because good pharm books update about once a year and this app is right on par. However, this is not a book and the amount of work invoked to update this app compared to a print is like comparing the speed of light to the speed achieved walking backwards. What!? I know!...just wanted to make a point. I still love it though

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2012-11-14*

Great app!! It has so many useful pronunciations. I'm not a pharmacist, but the pronunciations seem accurate. The other reviews say there are ads, but I don't see any, so they must have been removed in an update. I also see they added a feature to store favorites for easy reference as well as a list of recently searched drugs. I also really like the feature that lets you suggest drugs that ate not there. Overall, great app!

### 5/5 — very useful

*2012-03-05, version 3.1*

I'm a foreign exchange student and I love all of their pronouncing apps

### 5/5 — on sale!

*2012-03-05, version 3.1*

so glad this app is finally on sale...most useful of their apps for me

### 5/5 — Great App

*2012-01-12, version 3.0*

There are so many medications that are hard to pronounce and this app does it for you. Personally, I don't mind the ads as long as I can hear the correct way to pronounce these Meds.

### 5/5 — Very Helpful

*2011-08-12, version 3.0*

Awesome update! Great new features. Best one is favorites
