## What is The Prescription App?

The MyPrescriptions App from The Pharmacy Centre, a trading name of Medicinechest Ltd, enables you to manage your NHS repeat prescription ordering with your Pharmacy if it is a part of our website network. Look to see if your pharmacy’s website displays the Medicinechest Ltd and The Pharmacy Centre logos.

Medicinchest Ltd provides websites for independent pharmacy businesses via its thepharmacycentre.com service representing over 1500 physical branches and about 50 NHS internet pharmacies who are gradually enabling online repeat ordering via their websites and this App.

This App syncs with your online repeat prescription ordering account on your pharmacy’s website. Set a reminder on the website and as well as getting an email, you will get a reminder on your phone. Add a medicine in the App and it will also show in your medicine list on your pharmacy’s website.

With this App you can safely and securely
- Find and sign up with a Pharmacy.
- Keep your medicine list up to date; add, delete or edit medicines.
- Set reminders to re-order so you order prescriptions in good time and are not late getting your medicines. You will receive these via email and on your phone. 
- Order your prescriptions or let your pharmacy know you have ordered from your GP already.
- Send a note to your Pharmacy along with your prescription order.
- Receive status updates on your prescription order from your Pharmacy such as, when it is ready for delivery to your door, collection from your Pharmacy or whether you need to contact your GP.
-Check your pharmacy's opening hours and services.

Please check your Pharmacy’s website for the full privacy policy but the long and short is, your data is only accessible by trusted staff at your Pharmacy, GP surgery and at Medicinechest Ltd for the purposes of managing your prescription orders and of supporting the use of and further development of this App.

### 1/5 — Was great

*2026-04-10*

Been using for 2 yrs, latest update in March logged me out. Won’t accept password, ask for a reset. But never get an email (yes tried junk)
Why don’t folks leave things alone

### 1/5 — Next button broken

*2026-03-26*

Unable to do anything on this app because it wants me to input my address but when I do that, I click the “next” button but nothing happens at all but I can press the “back” button. Even tried it on the web browser and it still didn’t work 🙃🙃

### 1/5 — Can’t add address

*2026-02-20, version 1.1*

I open the app and it says I need an update from gonative.io ? What does that mean. How do I update via a website that opens up?

### 1/5 — Can’t t Log in

*2026-02-18, version 1.1*

Started off ok, recently I haven’t been getting any communication from the pharmacy. Every time I open the app I get a message that it needs an update from GoNative.io. I decided to reinstall the app but now it won’t let me login and when I request a new password it won’t send me the link. Now stuck with a useless app!

### 1/5 — App Issue

*2025-09-03, version 1.1*

The App says I need to do an update but there is no update available plus if you pull the app down to refresh you see the error code. Very basic stuff.

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2025-05-16, version 1.1*

This app needs some UX TLC. This app useless.

### 1/5 — Unable to login to app

*2025-01-19*

I have used this app to order my prescriptions with no problems.
However today I am unable to login at all- just getting a message to say “We are unable to connect you to our system”.
What is the problem, please?

### 1/5 — Rowland Smith

*2025-01-19, version 1.1*

Dreadful App

### 2/5 — Still sitting “pending approval” two weeks later

*2024-09-14*

I used the app, connecting everything as required. I found my script, forwarded it to the pharmacy, and waited. 

After ten days of seeing it in the pending file, I calls the pharmacy. Usually if I call them and leave a message, I get my script within a couple of days. They couldn’t even see my request. 

I have checked and everything matches. 

Binning the app and going back to calling. A nice idea that fails miserably in execution.

### 1/5 — Maddening

*2024-06-20, version 1.1*

Absolutely hopeless
