### 4/5 — Awesome!

*2026-07-30, version 3.1.65*

Only 4 stars because I haven’t used the app yet. I have used the website for years, possibly a decade, incredibly helpful information! 🫶

### 4/5 — Good but could be better

*2026-07-29*

Doesn’t have all drugs. I’m in Australia and there are drugs available here that aren’t in the US and this app doesn’t cover them.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2026-05-08, version 3.1.61*

Would be great if there were fields for what doctor and when prescribed.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-05-07, version 3.1.61*

Awesome

### 5/5 — Informative

*2026-05-06, version 3.1.61*

I always come here to look up medications to see the doses the side effects and to see what the medication might be not good for me. I appreciate their information.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2026-04-27, version 3.1.61*

Great app that I have used for years. When I go to the doctor and they ask what medications I’m taking I simply open the app , bring up my list, and hand them my phone. Only thing that would make it better is if you could make profiles for your family to track.

### 4/5 — Love this App

*2026-04-19, version 3.1.61*

It keeps all my meds organized, identified in alphabetical order, with dose amounts, times per day and short reference of what it is used for. It could be printed in a short list version or a longer more descriptive version with possible interactions with other drugs and previous drugs taken. I use it for my whole family. I print it out for each of our doctor visits. It is also easy to update as often as needed. I highly recommend it.

### 5/5 — Cannot live without this app!!!!!!!!!

*2026-04-17, version 3.1.51*

Drugs.com has such a surprisingly thorough and comprehensive database to not only include Rx medication, but also a wide variety of supplements.  It is a great source to check drug interactions (to include the vitamins we take!!) and create an organized, easy to read list of medications to give to medical professionals and emergency personnel.  It even organizes your list of meds and supplements into groups of currently taking, previously took, and researching.  It easy to move a med from one list to the other and it saves all your details so you don’t have to re-enter info when you start taking an old med again (unless the dose has changed of course).  Just an AWESOME took that I would not want to leave without!!

### 3/5 — Payment method

*2026-04-16, version 3.1.61*

Should have added apple pay payment or itunes payment

### 5/5 — Fantastic!!

*2026-04-12, version 3.1.51*

Drugs.commas really helped me in keeping up with the medications that I take. I’ve never had a problem with my daily meds but now that I am taking some drugs once a week and others once a month this program is really helpful.

### 3/5 — Linguagem

*2026-04-09*

Gostaria de outras opções de linguagem

### 5/5 — I am very much pleased with your app!No problem installing!

*2026-04-03, version 3.1.51*

I was able to use your Medication Guide with no problem!
I am a landline user and this was my first time using a cell phone, let alone an Apple smartphone 17!

### 5/5 — Super Helpful Drug Guide!

*2026-03-28, version 3.1.51*

Love my Drugs.com Medication Guide app! I’ve used this app for years to help me research drugs that my doctors prescribe and supplements I take. It helps me when my doctor prescribes a new medication to know potential interactions with other drugs I’m already taking. Sometimes doctors don’t notice that and I can discuss those with my doctors. This app is easy to use and helps me keep up with my medications. I highly recommend it!

### 5/5 — My go to for information

*2026-03-23, version 3.1.51*

The best and reliable information .

### 5/5 — Handy and reliable

### 5/5 — Great app for Medications

*2026-03-18, version 3.1.51*

I give it 5 stars because it is very useful. Lists every drug or medication with important information on its effects.

### 1/5 — Mental Health app

*2026-07-01, version 3.1.63*

I’m really kinda irritated with the app! It says that they are gonna charge you for $2, and then before you can blink, you have another charge for $14.99 and another after that, fortunately my credit card blocked the third transaction before it could go thru!!! This is very unbelievably rude and unprofessional in my opinion! I will definitely be changing the settings on my iPhone that allow my face to approve purchases!! It really could have put me in a bad place this month as far as my budget goes!! And I really thought drugs.com was a reputable company!! 😢

### 1/5 — Sad to see it happen to this app

*2026-06-17, version 3.1.63*

This is a great app, or was I should say now. To go from paying five dollars to remove ads to now you gotta pay $8.99 a month to remove ads just shows how many developers and companies are going to greed immediately. I definitely pay to move ads and I don’t need all the other extra stuff as much but to go from five dollars a year to now have to pay nine bucks a month just to remove ads. It’s pretty sad. Unfortunately, as I said, it seems like a lot of companies are immediately doing Cash grabs with the economy the way it is. I guess this one is just gonna be just like the rest and learn the hard way that people can’t afford that.

### 1/5 — Horrible job keeping my meds straight

*2026-05-29, version 3.1.62*

Would not recommend this app

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-03-09, version 3.1.50*

Used to be great years ago!  I paid $2.99 to remove ad’s, now they have Plans up to $29.99!  I’ve tried to contact them through support and they give me an error message!

### 1/5 — Shady app

*2026-02-21, version 3.1.50*

I would like to cancel my free trial subscription, however the app requires you to use a link sent to your email. The links getting sent to my email open the same page I’m trying to go to and then have the same message. It’s not possible to cancel or change plans/ subscriptions. Highly shady app. Take off the App Store! Also unable to contact app support as it says security verification failed to load (even though I used all of my browser apps). Super shady app.

### 1/5 — Get rid of the ads easier

*2026-02-16, version 3.1.47*

It was nice to pay $5 a year for your product. Now it’s not easy to subscribe and get no ads. Have to find an alternative for those that actually use these apps.

### 1/5 — Can’t cancel

*2026-01-27, version 3.1.37*

Can’t cancel and no phone number or chat option. They keep charging me $8.99

### 1/5 — Cumbersome

*2026-01-09, version 3.1.37*

I have to login every single time I use the interaction checker, constantly lose my list and have to re-create it

### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-12-25, version 3.1.37*

Used to be great years ago!  I paid $2.99 to remove ad’s, now they have Plans up to $29.99!  I’ve tried to contact them through support and they give me an error message!

### 1/5 — Stuck on “short” ad

*2025-11-23, version 3.1.29*

I tried to get Imformation on side effects of a drug and this pop-up shows up. It requires that you watch a “short” ad before moving on. you can’t close the ad or the pop-up box. There is no X in the corner. Your only option is to proceed with the short ad. The short ad takes a long time because it is a survey of all these things you have to answer about your health and then they want you to enter your email, Address, which I do not want to do. They are forcing you to sign up for something that you don’t want in order to use the app so I close the app down and reopen it and it keeps going to that ad as if it’s forcing me to sign up for this thing and give my email address. They never had this before. I may have to find a new app for the things I want to do.

Improvement since taking Creon

### 5/5 — Great medication app

*2026-08-17, version 3.1.65*

Love that my meds are all in one place. Can print right off app if needed, and, awesome tool for identifying and/or searching medications. Highly recommend this app!

### 5/5 — Great in the everyday!

*2026-08-12, version 3.1.65*

I’m a nurse that takes medical histories and need to look up new or different meds on the job. This app is essential for my job!

### 5/5 — Time saver, life saver

*2026-07-26, version 3.1.65*

I have a lot of drug allergies and sensitivities. I refer to this app so often to check a new drug against my list. It’s kept me out of the ER  on numerous occasions. Thank you for creating something so helpful.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-07-08, version 3.1.63*

As a medical assistant, this app is wonderful. When you have patience come in and they have something at the bottom of their purse, but they don’t know what it is. It’s wonderful and helpful to find out what it is.

### 5/5 — Montelukast

*2026-06-30, version 3.1.63*

Singular

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2026-06-06, version 3.1.62*

Drugs.com has been my go to app to keep my extensive medical history all in one place. I have tried many but this is the best app I have used!

### 5/5 — Steve

*2026-05-28, version 3.1.62*

This app is great

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-05-26, version 3.1.61*

This app is exactly what I needed. It helps me with my medications. I use it frequently to add or remove my medications. When going to a doctor and they need me to give them my medications it is always on my phone so I can give them an accurate account. It can also be printed out. 
You can also add each of your family’s meds. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-05-07*

A wealth of information for those who are on multiple medications and have a passion for knowledge
