There’s such a limited option you’re not really gonna get a good medical experience. The ideas good and I don’t know why there’s not more apps that do the same thing, but it’s nice to have this for the time being. Just needs a lot of work ### 2/5 — Nw *2021-06-03, version 1.4* The idea for this app two or three years ago when it came out was really good but the problem is is they don’t update anything they got all the same old strains and all the same old doctors are all the same they don’t have any new stuff in there to help you in 2021, It’s really not worth it ### 4/5 — Almost *2020-10-27, version 1.4* This app is very informative, but even with good eyesight, I can barely read the super small text in the app. I also can’t just search for a particular strain to get more information on it, which seems like a basic feature that should already be supported. I had to delete due to my inability to read most of it, but I thought you were on the right track. Like the info on terpenes. ### 4/5 — Google Maps no longer works *2020-02-25, version 1.3* I’ve explored several other apps but find this to be user friendly and informative. Just want the developer to be aware Google Maps is no longer functioning. I’m assuming they changed the API. ### 4/5 — Really good idea *2019-07-29, version 1.3* This app is very useful. It definitely needs a database so I could search every strain for levels of CBN, THCV, etc. I’d give 3.5/5. ### 3/5 — Soooo not scientific, but a fun toy nonetheless *2019-07-14, version 1.3* The age counter goes up to 133 which is hilarious, weird and if they make this mistake, what others do they make in the app. Only has two genders. Doesn’t provide evidence of how they came up with ratios. ### 3/5 — Great Idea, but App no longer supported. *2019-06-13, version 1.3* I love the idea, but it’s been two years since the last update. ### 4/5 — App hasn’t worked in weeks *2019-04-08, version 1.3* I’ve had this app for a couple months. But ever since it crashed on me while using it, it hasn’t been working ever since. My iOS is up to date. I deleted the app and installed it again and does the same thing. It opens up to “Select Condition” and when you click on it to select, nothing opens up. It stays on this page all the time. NEED HELP!! I used to LOVE this app when it worked. ### 4/5 — Worth Download *2019-03-28, version 1.3* Needed some help with something, and the help/info system took forever to resolve my issue. Not a bad app otherwise. Worth a download. ### 1/5 — Did not work, it required a login which would not work *2019-01-06, version 1.3* I did not want to give a bad review but the first thing you have to do is login or register and it wouldn’t let me do either no matter which email address I used. I kept getting an error, and it kept telling me that I was already registered. So I tried to connect to the developer’s website and I got error telling me that the server stopped responding. maybe there’s no one there anymore? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 👎🏼👎🏼 Don’t waste your F*@&ing ⏰ *2020-11-18, version 1.4* Horrible app. Doesn’t recommend a single dispensary anywhere near me and I have about 6-7 within a 15-20 mile radius. Stupid P.O.S even though I have and always double check that it says I don’t have a medical card still only recommends dispensaries that are for Medicinal only. Total F$@&1NG joke. ### 1/5 — Love and Hate *2020-01-12, version 1.3* Pros: it gives you an idea what type of strains is recommended based on your conditions Cons: this app has too many glitches, the app sometimes won’t work at all, and have to re-download the app for it to work. It’s frustrating and that’s the reason why I’m giving it a one star ### 1/5 — Can’t register *2019-07-31, version 1.3* Nice app but can’t register. Tried 3 times. Wasting time. Says invalid password when I register as new user, then ‘no message’ for any other password I try to register. Then when I try again it says ‘this email already registered’ then when I try to recover password it says ‘no record of this email’. Nice app w sucky signup. I’ll delete until I hear from you. ### 1/5 — Unable to sign up *2019-07-09, version 1.3* I was hoping that this app would help me to find local dispensaries and educate me on the most effective CBD formulation to ease the chronic pain that has left me quite disabled. Unfortunately, there seems to be a glitch in the app that, despite following the registration instructions, only results in a frustrating error message that precludes me from successfully registering. I am using a valid name, email, and have selected a password that meets with the requirements. How can this app be of any use to me when I am unable to register? Would the app developer please be so kind as to lend me a hand? ### 1/5 — Excludes Blind Users Because of Inaccessibility Issues *2019-06-15, version 1.3* As a blind cannabis user, it frustrates me to no end that the cannabis industry largely doesn't believe that blind people use cannabis, so they don't try to make their apps and products accessible. With this app, I can only allow location services to be enabled, before I'm taken to a UI that doesn't work with VoiceOver at all. ### 1/5 — Couldn’t create a profile *2019-05-02, version 1.3* Unforntuately I wasn’t even able to create a profile...came up with error and no matter what email I used it said an acct was already registered with email. Something must not be working tonight. I’m disappointed because it sounded like a great app to use. 🥴 ### 1/5 — Outdated and poor *2019-04-25, version 1.3* Makes me sad when I get really excited about an app and it falls short of so much. I continuously tried and to make and account and for some reason it just simply denies you of that happiness. Please fix this. ### 1/5 — Absolutely not accessible!!! *2019-03-29, version 1.3* You would think that since the products in this app help those with glaucoma that it would be accessible for the visually impaired or totally blind. Not one thing is accessible on this app. If you have vision problems don’t bother downloading waste of time. And if you are not aware, those in pain don’t always have good eyesight either! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2019-01-30, version 1.3* I was excited to use this app to keep track of strains for pain relief. The dispensary list is extremely difficult to navigate & nearly all of the ones listed (after I made sure my location was entered correctly) were in another state. Not helpful at all. ### 1/5 — Turrrrible *2019-01-20, version 1.3* The percentages and descriptions of some of the effects here are horribly inaccurate, and frankly dangerous. Super Lemon Haze for example has very a high THC content and very low CBD content, and very strong psychoactive effects. If someone used this strain expecting the effects described on this app, they would be in for a roller coaster ride. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nicez new app! Just needs to grow... *2019-07-13, version 1.3* I have mine on iPhone. I really like it because it allows you to log your own experience with a strain. There are really good recommendations made for symptoms, but they just need to build up the library. I am a Medical Cannabis Provider and I do a lot of recommendations on strains and phone apps. This is one I will be recommending to every patient. Can’t wait to see this app to develop more!!! ### 5/5 — Downloaded *2019-04-22, version 1.3* Shocked to find how much better this app is then “weedmaps “ download! ### 5/5 — Impressive one☝️ *2019-04-22, version 1.3* The “ google “ of the medical marijuana industry! Should be more popular than “ weedmaps “. ### 5/5 — Really helpful *2019-04-21, version 1.3* Love how they help find the right shop near me! So helpful! ### 5/5 — Thank you potbot *2019-04-21, version 1.3* Finally know what to look for at the dispensary. ### 5/5 — Nice 👍 *2019-04-21, version 1.3* Those pictures of the edibles are appetizing! I wish they had recipes for brownies, but I understand that’s not what the purpose is. ### 5/5 — Thanks Potbot! *2019-03-22, version 1.3* When I first found out that the strain names like “purple haze” and “ak47” actually mean something, I panicked and wasn’t sure I could keep up with the new industry, but this app makes everything very clear and helps keep the entire system on a standard. ### 5/5 — Great Concept *2019-03-17, version 1.3* I love how Potbot is focused on me as the individual patient. Doctors don’t make generalizations with other medication, why should marijuana be different? ### 5/5 — Impressive One! *2018-10-22, version 1.3* This app knows more about Cannabis than the average budtender in these “dispensaries.” Impressive! ### 5/5 — Pretty useful *2018-09-18, version 1.3* Basically a mobile doctor that doesn’t take weeks to call me back or set up an appointment. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
