User reviews

It used to work. Now it freezes every time.

A year ago and prior, it worked like a charm! And gave me some of the lowest prices out there. But now it freezes every time. Even tried deleting and re-downloading the app. It can’t get past the database update stage. Freezes at 100% or 0%. And occasionally gives error message: “HTTP ERROR, PHARMACY-DATA, RESPONSE WITH STATUS: 0 FOR URL: NULL”

y’all have a fix of is this app EoL?

Update it…

This is a waste of an app, does nothing.

App freezes

As soon as I try to add a medicine the app freezes

Does not work

See above

App freezes consistently

28 Aug 2022, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15.6.1

This app hasn’t been updated in >3 years, and I sincerely doubt that any further iOS updates will fix the critical bug(s) impacting the app.

As others have described, this app completely freezes/hangs when attempting to selecting a drug/dosage while searching in the Medication List and Drug Price Search. This can only be “reset” by manually killing the app and launching it again.

The app is almost completely worthless without a fix from the developer.
