### 1/5 — All bad

*2020-12-12, version 4.0*

Gave me anxiety trying to work it.  No way to navigate the app.  No features.  Not possible to access camera roll or take an image of an unknown pill!  This was why I decided to try. Jokes on me. 
A big scam!  .99 will not break most people’s bank but that is not really the point.  I wish there was a way to bring cons like this to court.  You are not a developer.

### 1/5 — Pill app

*2015-06-28, version 3.1*

It want let me search for no pill after I bought this app

### 1/5 — Beta quality at best

*2014-12-05, version 3.1*

This app appears to be a hastily thrown together derivative of the programmer's other app, iNarc, which in turn appears to be an app specifically for people looking to get high on prescription meds.  As a medical professional, this isn't what I was hoping to find when I made the purchase. Problems I noticed before deleting this app: (1) images are semi-transparent with an annoying underlying image of some pills. (2) The 'rate this' button actually takes you to a rating page for the other iNarc app (oops!).  (3) When searching on a legit non-abusable drug like  (levothyroxine), the appropriate images seemed to work, but only until I made the mistake of also specifying details like pill color and shape... at which point the levothyroxine part got completely ignored and I instead found myself looking at images of OxyContin, alprazolam, and other prescription drugs of abuse.  The particular bugs and subject matter suggest the author is far more interested in getting high than he is in writing quality software. The main saving grace is that I only wasted a buck.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2014-10-16, version 2.1*

Can't believe I ordered this   Don't be an idiot and put money in their pocket. Crashes before you can even enter the pill.   Bet the developers are laughing about all the cash they get on this one

### 1/5 — FPMHNP-BC

*2012-06-15, version 2.0*

App does not work correctly. Downloaded it and deleted it all within 15 minutes. App locks up; won't take ALL of the info into account, pulling wrong med.

### 5/5 — Accurate and fast

*2012-05-30, version 2.0*

So easy to use! Love it! Thanks

### 5/5 — If you need the basics

*2012-03-23, version 2.0*

I was impressed by the ease of use and the user interface is incredible but WHERE ARE THE GENERICS? They only show the name brand.  Yet if it was simply designed to go under the couch and figure out your finds then its an A+

### 1/5 — Don't waste your money!

*2012-02-07, version 1.2*

Don't waste your money
