### 1/5 — Need a better app

*2025-04-27*

This app never works for me. Either prescriptions don’t go through or it just hangs and spins the spin of death.

### 1/5 — Password

*2025-04-17*

It won't let me change my password

### 2/5 — Needs more information

*2025-01-22*

I find that my refill request doesn’t always go through.  Would be nice if the app gave more information.  Would like for it to show how many refills left, new prescriptions that have come it, and what is on file at the pharmacy.  I have no idea what Rx is already there to know if I can request for it to be filled or if I need to ask the dr for a refill.  Some meds get a new Rx each time, so gets a new number.  Also, if I have 2 of same med, but different dose, I can’t name it that way.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-01-14*

The app hasn’t been working for like two months. You open it and it’s just a spinning wheel.

### 1/5 — Refills requests don’t go through

*2024-10-01*

I have noticed since going to this new app version the last five months, my refill request don’t go through to my pharmacy. I have to show up days alter and wait to have them filled on the spot. Such an annoyance that now I need to go “old school” to call for refills. There’s really no point to this app since refills cant be ordered through it

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2022-11-16*

The old app is much better. In the new app the RX barcodes don’t scan correctly. The use interface is hard no navigate. You are in able to select delivery knowing the our pharmacy does deliver. Just a horrible experience…

### 1/5 — Cpap

*2021-03-05*

Worthless for home medical. web site not much better

### 4/5 — W

*2020-09-06*

Cannot change delivery option?

### 1/5 — Last Filled?!?

*2020-08-27*

The app is garbage. It worked well the first time I used it, after that not so much!! I refill my prescriptions every month but it states on every single RX in the app the last time filled was December 2019. I have ADDED NEW medications and had them filled, when I go to refill they are not listed in current prescriptions, so I have to ADD them again every single time. I’m deleting the app because it is useless to me!

### 1/5 — B.S.

*2020-06-29*

Can never use the app to refill prescriptions. Never have been able to and have tried on more than a few occasions.
