### 1/5 — Scam

*2022-01-12, version 4.0*

This is scam !

### 1/5 — WORST APP EVER

*2021-10-07, version 4.0*

This is simply a collection of ads that pop up constantly, taking over your screen trying to get you to buy other apps. Totally useless and quite annoying. Should be called "A Collection of Apps We Want to Shove Down Your Throat"

### 1/5 — THE WORST

*2021-10-06, version 4.0*

This app does nothing. I’m not saying that it doesn’t properly identify pills. I’m saying that this does NOTHING. I click search. I’m directed to a PDF scanner app demo. I thought ok I’ll click off this when it’s done (minor inconvenience). So I exit out of it and then get a blank screen. So I arrow back to main page and the cycle continued several times. Never saw a pill. Hey I will this, it didn’t cost me a thin red penny but it’s dumbfounding how this is in App Store . It’s like going to buy a car and well….you don’t have to pay for the car, but there’s no car. Keep at it…it’s a great idea.

### 1/5 — Can’t get past the advertisements

*2021-09-25, version 4.0*

I am a doctor and sometimes I need to identify unknown pills that patients bring in. After downloading the app I tried using it, but every search brought me to an advertisement for another app, accompanied by loud music. It is unusable.

### 1/5 — Don’t waist your money

*2021-09-09, version 4.0*

Every pill so far right down to a Tylenol the app can’t identify I want my $2.99 back app should restrict this App it’s a Scam

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all

*2021-08-13, version 4.0*

This app did not correctly identify not even one pill I tried. The ads before every search might have been bearable if even one was accurate but searching pills that I knew exactly what they were just to test it out resulted in completely wrong and inaccurate suggestions. I searched by shape and color and searched by the imprint on prescribed medications and not been one correct. Like, seriously?! Wow.

### 1/5 — Google is faster and more accurate

*2021-07-05, version 4.0*

Just google the shape, color and inscription, and don’t waste your time on this app.

### 1/5 — Deserves Zero

*2021-03-31, version 4.0*

Don’t waste your time. Just takes you to other ads. Who puts this garbage on here.

### 1/5 — No input

*2021-01-13, version 3.9*

I’m looking for a photo scanner. This isn’t it. Moreover you can’t even type in the number if you can read it with your eye.

### 1/5 — Horrible ad infested app

*2020-02-01, version 3.9*

Doesn’t give correct information, closes on its own, ads each and every time.

### 1/5 — Can’t get past the ads

*2019-12-11, version 3.9*

I tried 10 times to get information on my drug, but when I hit search it went to an ad. I would X out the ad and it went back to the beginning for me to put in my info.  If I could give a minus 1 rating I would.

### 1/5 — Too many adverts

*2019-06-26, version 3.8*

The number of adverts makes the app virtually unusable.

### 1/5 — What???

*2019-05-28, version 3.8*

Seems this only works if you use the American names, and possibly spellings, for drugs. No indication that this is American only anywhere in the text. Complete waste of time!

### 1/5 — Don’t recommend

*2018-08-14, version 3.7*

Not user friendly. Many error messages. Many ads.

### 1/5 — Poor Quality - Incorrect Information

*2018-07-21, version 3.6*

The app looks very nice, but almost never identifies a pill that I enter. It comes back with “Alert, no information found” for even common medications. Im a nurse, I entered a common blood pressure medication and it come up as something other than what i knew it was on multiple occasions. Don’t trust the information you find in this app! I haven’t used the other features so I can’t comment on them.

### 1/5 — This app is a joke...

*2018-06-13, version 3.6*

Pops up ads every time you attempt to search, then cannot find anything and doesn’t retain the search criteria you just entered. Does not work!!!

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work and makes you watch ads every time you tap something

*2026-01-07, version 5.0.5*

Bad

### 1/5 — Don’t download

*2024-04-27, version 4.2*

The app doesn’t even work. After the add it pops up with a blank white page.

### 1/5 — Can’t trust

*2024-03-22, version 4.2*

They can’t spell..

### 1/5 — Worthless! Only an Ad app.

*2023-12-10, version 4.2*

Worthless! Only an Ad app. Completely unfunctional!

### 1/5 — Failure

*2023-10-02, version 4.2*

Trying to find basic medication AMLODIPNE & it can only find one.
Recognised nanufacturer can’t be found at all. 
Unable to get far with advertising blocking me.

### 1/5 — Impossible to use

*2023-06-04, version 4.1*

You have to look through of similar pills to find yours. Making it worse, you can’t read wants on each pill.

### 1/5 — Worst app and customer service ever

*2023-05-03, version 4.1*

Please don’t bother with this app
I tried a free trial and then can’t figure out how to cancel it- I emailed them and no answer at all! There are better apps out there that do the same thing. If I get charged for this- I’m going to blow a gasket! Scam, scam, scam.

### 1/5 — This app is just trash

*2023-01-09, version 4.1*

It used to be decent 4 years ago. Now it doesn’t work and IST just ad after ad.

### 1/5 — Incorrect identification

*2022-09-05, version 4.1*

I am disappointed. You put in the generic and get the generic back for brand. You put in the brand and the generic is correct or you might get no results.  I have removed your app.  I have found a better app.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2022-03-12, version 4.0*

Download this app to identify a pill. It only lets you search by shape and color or by imprint, not both. A better function would be to enter the shape, color, and markings if any into the search engine. Quickly uninstalled it.

### 5/5 — Great App and has everything for free!

*2025-09-16, version 5.0.4*

It's a fantastic app that offers everything I need for free and I really appreciate the pill reminder feature

### 5/5 — Great source of info about medicines!

*2016-06-08, version 1.5*

Helps me get the details about any drug or medicine instantly. The feature of a barcode is quite useful. Can easily search for generic alternatives for Branded drugs.

### 5/5 — Great pill identifier app

*2016-06-08, version 1.5*

This app helps me to get information about medicines within seconds. The app has info about thousands of medicines, which is amazing. Overall it's a very helpful app.

### 2/5 — Review

*2024-12-22, version 4.5*

I don’t know what this app really does.all I got to do was manually entervekioers these days? scripting of this app…I spent 30 minutes trying to get to ANY pill info but never did..I took this off screen and then deleted from my library…what in gods name is wrong with these dthe shape and markings on the pill and then it took me to something I’m not sure what it was but I never ever got to any pages shown in the d

### 2/5 — Annoying and inaccurate

*2021-04-10, version 4.0*

Every pill search is interrupted by a request to download the scanner app, which costs $60/year!  Also, repeated attempts to identify pills results in inaccurate identification. I have tried this with pills of which I am sure - but the app either doesn’t find them at all or misidentifies them. Will be deleting app.

### 2/5 — Scanner

*2020-07-05, version 3.9*

This could be a great tool but I hate that it constantly prompts you to subscribe to a monthly scanner service ; I’ll be looking elsewhere
