Xx s x *2024-05-20, version 2.3* Benjjim edddd ### 2/5 — Keeps crashing *2022-03-17, version 2.3* When I try to search a drug the app keeps closing. ### 4/5 — Fix the app!! *2020-12-17, version 2.3* Ive purchased this app since last 4 yrs i guess.. since last year or last 2 years the app keep crushing.. now i cant even use the app anymore.. pls do something about it!! ### 4/5 — Really useful *2018-05-21, version 2.3* As I work in both Canada and the US, this app really helps with the tendency of American providers to use brand names rather than generic names when ordering meds. ### 2/5 — Interesting *2018-04-04, version 2.3* Index search often crashes on lookup. ### 4/5 — It serves me *2018-04-02, version 2.3* This app serves me righr. I only use this app as reference. ### 4/5 — Great app *2015-03-26, version 2.2* Has lots of information on medicines, however the pill identifier seems to be a little bit buggy because it keeps saying no internet connection. Other than that, great app! ### 5/5 — Reference *2014-04-22, version 2.2* Fantastic reference guide! I use it all the time! ### 3/5 — Good but could be better *2014-04-08, version 2.2* Informative app but would like to see the drug classification under pill name in search results (ie. class I or II) to help aid officers in possession cases. ### 5/5 — Pretty darn useful! *2014-04-05, version 2.2* Simply Awesome!!! Great app to look up meds! Very user friendly!!! ### 4/5 — Australian non professional *2014-04-03, version 2.2* Excellent for the lay user. Only basic information but that is all I need. I would note that not international but this is perhaps related to the drug companies and not related to the app ### 5/5 — great app *2014-03-30, version 2.2* very useful for new pharm techs and pharm students !! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing when I hit search *2023-09-09, version 2.3* Paid for this app and it just keeps crashing and closing when I try search for something not happy 😡 ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-04-11, version 2.3* Just crashes every time I try and type for certain medications then immediately closes. Waste of time. Uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Pointless *2020-01-18, version 2.3* Used this to verify certain generic drugs were same as medium and didnt even have a clue. ### 1/5 — Junk *2020-01-14, version 2.3* Don’t waste money. App keeps closing. ### 1/5 — Shuts Down *2020-01-07, version 2.3* It shuts down now as soon as I open it. ### 1/5 — Barely Useful *2019-09-13, version 2.3* App does NOT give the various mg makeup of medications such as Norco, Augmentin, Vicodin. $0.99 is too much for this app. ### 1/5 — No good *2018-11-11, version 2.3* I paid for this App and every time I try opening it the App crash. Fix it or refund me my money.😡 ### 1/5 — Old app was great *2016-06-17, version 2.2* I don't know which fool decided that having to input in the pill identifier info only to redirect me a second prompt for the same information, but they broke what was once a useful app. You should not need my location to use this app and despite constantly telling it that I will NOT NOT NOT turn on location services and approve that function, it nags me to do so. App is now deleted and I will download something more useful than this once great app. ### 1/5 — New update made it crash *2014-02-18, version 2.2* Update causes crash won't open tries but crashes. Uninstalled then reinstalled same thing, now I have nothing should have left it alone :( ### 1/5 — RN28 *2013-10-02, version 2.0* It suddenly stopped working and I can't open it. I have a 3GS IPhone. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good job *2022-11-09, version 2.3* Info is fairly up to date.

Glynn Mayhew ### 5/5 — EXTREMELY USEFUL!!! *2014-09-29, version 2.2* Especially if you can't remember what dose of a drug you're taking...just find the image of the pill you take and it shows you how many milligrams are in it. Also helpful if you find a loose pill lying around--you can easily find out what it is. Can search by name, shape, color, markings, imprints etc. It also gives uses, warnings, and contraindications. I really like having this app. ### 5/5 — Very helpful! *2014-07-30, version 2.2* Very user friendly for anyone who takes prescription medication. Yes, I'd recommend this app! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
