### 5/5 — So helpful

*2026-08-19, version 9.5.3*

Love this app! I use it everyday at work

### 5/5 — NP, Psychiatry

*2026-07-24, version 9.5.3*

Up to date, accurate , ease of use.

### 2/5 — New interface

*2026-07-23, version 9.5.3*

Not as quick or easy to get around

### 3/5 — Gets worse every year

*2026-07-23, version 9.5.3*

Though indispensable to my practice, I have no idea how each change; each update can somehow make it harder to use, less intuitive, and bury pertinent information under even more tabs.
It’s good, but it used to be great and I expect it to be mediocre within the next few years

### 1/5 — 1 star because I’m asked to write a review every time I enter the app.

*2026-07-21, version 9.5.1*

1 star because I’m asked to write a review every time I enter the app.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t sync

*2026-07-21, version 9.5.1*

You pay for the subscription and the app doesn’t sync. Very expensive subscription for something that has such poor user design.

### 4/5 — Off-line database

*2026-07-12, version 9.5.1*

Version identification of each database is critical to ensure prior connection and updates have occurred. Presently the information appears to be stale. While the internet is convenient, access is not always available.

### 3/5 — Good, but…

*2026-07-09, version 9.5.1*

I like LexiDrug, but it needs to bring back notes that I can add to meds.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2026-07-06, version 9.5.1*

Awesome!!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-06, version 9.5.1*

Great app
