Thank you! ### 4/5 — Medicine dictionary *2020-04-26* It would’ve been even better if I could see pictures of pill capsules etc to know what’s what when I’m trying to identify drugs like the BMA guide shows. Still happy with the app. ### 5/5 — Detailed definitions *2020-02-24* Dosages mentioned in different capacities, a lot of information on many medicinal types! ### 5/5 — Very Good *2020-02-16, version 2.1* Look up medications. Get details. Good, especially for the price. Very handy to have nearby. I Recommend it. ### 5/5 — Great *2020-01-09, version 2.1* Thanks. ### 5/5 — Doctor Mariwan *2019-11-12* Thank’s ### 5/5 — Excellent information *2019-10-08* I really appreciate being able to use this dictionary. It provides excellent information for the clinician. The patient teaching section is especially helpful for the teacher in the home healthcare setting. ### 5/5 — Awesome Offline Reference Resource *2019-08-09* I am impressed. No other drug reference app had the detail or the drugs I wanted to reference. Keep up the good work. Free version is an excellent price! I can’t say enough good things about this app without running on endlessly. ### 5/5 — Great *2019-06-29, version 1.7* Same as med but has to go so far ### 5/5 — Best guide *2019-06-24* The app is really good and well arranged.

Thank you. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lots of Missing medication *2024-01-19, version 3.5* Don’t waste your money ### 1/5 — Not very helpful. *2023-09-12* Cannot find half of the medication that I've been prescribed! ### 1/5 — Quick Trial *2022-10-08, version 3.2* I downloaded and looked for two drugs it only found one so I lost confidence in the app ### 1/5 — Not sure yet *2022-06-13, version 3.2* That’s it ### 1/5 — Not complete enough *2019-04-28* I purchased the ad free version of this app so that I could access important interaction information regarding an antidepressant medication that I take. This app had zero information available beyond a simple description of the drug. This app may be adequate for people taking the most common drugs only, but I would question its comprehensiveness regarding interactions for anything because some drugs are left out. I simply trashed it after 5 minutes of use. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the app was not helpful for you. As we are always looking to add new sources, it is possible that more medications, and more information about each medication, will be added in the future. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2018-04-29, version 1.7* Doesn’t have 2 Of the 3 Meds I Take?? All 3 are well known Medication’s. ### 1/5 — dangerously incorrect definitions *2017-07-25, version 1.7* This app listed TASIGNA, a medication with significant secondary cardiac side effects and used for the treatment of Philadelphia chromosome positive Chronic Myogenic Leukemia (CML) AS A SMOKING DETERRENT. Let me say it again, this app listed a medication USED TO TREAT CANCER as a smoking deterrent. Irresponsible at best. DO NOT USE THIS APP ### 1/5 — Not complete *2015-10-23, version 1.0* 2 of the first 4 drugs I entered, it didn't have. Had installed for 2 minutes, waste of time. ### 2/5 — Lacking *2020-03-27, version 2.1* Needs updated and accurate information. Drugs categories are incorrect on some drugs. NDRI's listed as SSRI's, etc... ### 2/5 — No good *2018-03-19* Not good, tried 7 medicines, 3 not found! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Creme de la Creme *2026-04-16, version 6.0* Como un intérprete médico es muy importante tener herramientas cómo está a mano! 10/10 ojalá pudiera agregar opción de traducción con hacer 2 click sobre el nombre de la medicina! ### 5/5 — Knowledge is power *2026-02-27* I always ask the doctor the what, why and wherefores of any prescribed drug, and the expected or anticipated results. Then I consult the appropriate Farlex references regarding medicine, medical and nursing information. At 73, it’s better to be fully informed than unpleasantly surprised. It’s not about trust (although if there’s reason for doubt, switch doc’s!) but informed decision making. ### 5/5 — WELL DONE *2024-12-17* I have had this app on my iPhone for about a month or so, and it’s proven to be an effective tool for understanding the purposes of the post-procedure medications that my surgeon and doctor want me to take while recovering. It’s extremely helpful and easy to use, though speaking as academic I might add that it appears to be designed more for professionals and perhaps college students attending med school- judging by the terminology and UI. Other than that I highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — Handy *2023-08-08* How can this app not be helpful? Hey, if you’re out and about, like if you’re at the doctor’s office and he or she or someone writes a prescription for you to take, and you don’t have access to the information about the prescription, this app might just have what you are looking for. Now I call that helpful ! ### 5/5 — Good information *2023-07-05* Very helpful and useful with a wide range of important information. ### 5/5 — Relieved *2023-04-07* I love this app. It tells me exactly what side effects the pill has & explained just what to Expect from the I’ll Download today ### 5/5 — Easy to navigate, good information *2022-09-25* Been using on and off, for fair amount time. Been smooth sailing each time. Just hope it stays on the list for all the large systems update now we head into IOS 16. Cheers. ### 5/5 — Incomparable! *2022-02-01* Absolutely comprehensive ### 5/5 — Vitamin D *2021-08-24* Very easy to navigate and find what your looking such as vitamin D list indications, dosage, take with meals… I’m looking for how much a post menopausal woman age 55 should take. She has already had one clean thru fracture of her distal tibia tibia. ### 5/5 — Great resource *2021-08-08* Love the drug-herb interaction and the diagnostic test section. This has all the info about a drug down to the pronunciation aid. Highly recommend for students and professionals alike. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
