It utilizes adaptive learning which reinforces the drugs you need more practice with memorizing. There are minor glitches here and there but overall it’s a great tool and I highly recommend for those getting ready for their NAPLEX. **Developer response:** Thanks for the positive review! While this app is still available, we've developed a more modern version (RxFlip) that you might be interested in trying out. ### 4/5 — Mostly good *2016-03-13* The app lets you put drugs into categories which is nice. Only complaint is that you can't do flashcard mode and choose a category. You have to disable all other categories instead of just choosing the one you want. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Miss leading app *2025-01-18* I paid and downloaded it, but after accepting the disclaimer, the screen went black. **Developer response:** We're sorry to hear about this issue -- please contact us (contact@clincalc.com) if you weren't able to resolve the problem! ### 1/5 — No sound. Don’t buy. *2018-02-25* Bought on feb 24th 2018. The sound does NOT work! **Developer response:** Don't forget to unmute your phone (the silence button on the left side) when using the app. An update is coming soon to fix this bug. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Do not buy!! *2018-02-23* App keeps crashing & sound does not always work! Waste of money. **Developer response:** Don't forget to unmute your phone (the silence button on the left side) when using the app. An update is coming soon to fix this bug. Thanks! ### 1/5 — User *2017-10-28* The pronunciation of drugs are not working. It's been a while. Can you fix it? ### 1/5 — No so good! *2017-01-18* I bought this app in hopes of it helping me with my pharmacy tech certification but it only works when it feels like it. I do not recommend it. ### 1/5 — Good potential but broken *2014-12-15* This app seems good in concept but it is completely unusable. Whenever I try to change the flash cards back the app freezes. Buyer be ware! (iPhone 6) ### 1/5 — A *2013-08-17* Too simple for anyone above pharmacy technician . Easy to select wrong answer while scrolling . ### 2/5 — Needs an update in 2024. *2024-11-12* This used to be good enough when it first came out, but… Please hear me out as a constructive feedback. According to my students, the current NAPLEX asks for more brand/generics than this. They studied the top 300-400 to prepare for the exam. This is not the best one out there for the NAPLEX, especially since this is a paid app. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback -- the top 250 drugs captures about 95% of the most commonly prescribed drugs in the US market. There is no published "top 400" drug list that we're aware of, but certainly NAPLEX includes information beyond these top 250 drugs; however, if a student doesn't have mastery of these 250 medications, they are unlikely to be successful on the NAPLEX. This should be a tool as part of a comprehensive study plan for NAPLEX! ### 2/5 — It is not the best *2019-06-18* Not worth the cost. Not all drugs are available and it is not user friendly. There are better apps out there to spend money on or that are free. I gave it two stars instead of one because I do like the pronounciation part wish it was updated. **Developer response:** The app contains 250 drugs, which comprises about 95% of all prescriptions in the United States. We're continuing to improve the app -- if you have specific feedback for a feature you'd like to see, please reach out at mobile@clincalc.com. Thanks! ### 2/5 — What was that???? Is this a hearing test?? *2018-04-15* The volume on this app is so low. It is hard to hear pronunciation of the words. Very disappointed. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. The system volume (using the button on the side of the volume) determines how loud the audio is. If you're having trouble hearing, make sure that your system volume is set to 100%. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Lackluster *2019-08-01* Does not give the uses of said medications. **Developer response:** Actually, it does! Each medication has an "Indications" section that can be tested in the quiz mode or in flashcard mode. Please contact us (mobile@clincalc.com) if you're having trouble with this feature. ### 5/5 — Pharmacy student *2018-12-30* Great way to interactively learn medications quickly and with detail ### 5/5 — Great little app *2018-02-18* Could be a little more flashy but it does what you need it to ### 5/5 — Nice *2017-07-29* Awesome ### 5/5 — FlashRX Fan *2017-04-02* Great for studying. I'm an RN student and it's concise and gives me exactly what I need to admin meds in the hospital. Plus, it includes how pronunciation. I definitely recommend. Used it for 1 year and still love. Best money spent. ### 5/5 — Worthwhile app *2016-08-04* I find this app helpful in many ways I like the pronunciation option as I find I'm easily tripped up by drug names because I am not putting emphasis on the correct syllable. The range of drugs is good & covers many classes of drugs. I did sign up for the course & look forward to more in depth learning ### 5/5 — Great review app *2016-01-25* This is a very good all around app for studying. I have been out of practice for some time and am working on getting back in to the profession. I found it has helped me not only to recall old knowledge but it is also a great help with the new medications that I have no knowledge of. ### 5/5 — Pharmacy preceptor *2015-10-16* Excellent app for pharmacy students! Especially those without prior pharmacy experience struggling to catch up and get a handle on unfamiliar brand and generic names. ### 5/5 — A Well-developed App *2015-01-17* I would suggest that no one should look further to master the most commonly prescribed drugs in the United States including their brand/generic names, indications, contraindications, adverse effects, commonly used doses, drug classes. The app employs different modes that will enable one to easily learn those drugs in and out in shortest period of time while having fun. Let me also not forget that in case you need help, the customer service is exceptionally helpful and prompt. ### 5/5 — Extremely useful!!!! *2014-04-04* I love this app!!!! Not only does it quiz you on the drugs it also has the pronounciations for the generics. It helps you with long term memorization by quizzing you on the medications you are having trouble with but now and then will quiz you on meds previously answered correctly. The drug database allows you to add more medications as well as pronounciations that are not included in the top 200 drugs (paid version). The app even helps you keep track of your progress. The best part is that the developer is readily accessible. I was having problems recording new pronounciations and he quickly responded to my email and fixed the issue. This is a must app if you are in the medical field!!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
