My go to!

Love this app, easy of use, accuracy and detailed information on the drug researched.
I have tried others and deleted them all. This is the only one I trust and use.

Useless

Absolutely useless app!!
I thought by paying £.99 rather than downloading the free ones would mean that it would be a better app but no it’s a complete waste of time and money!!
so don’t be me there’s plenty of different ways and different apps, just don’t bother with this one!!

Should be able to tell what is imprinted on the pill to identify what it is
this is not what i thought it was i think it is a waste of moneythis is not what i thought it was i think it is a waste of money

No longer useful

This app used to be very helpful but now I put in what’s printed on my pill and it gives me absolutely no information. If I knew the name of the pill, I wouldn’t need this app…
