### 4/5 — Needs Some Improvements

*2020-12-24*

This seems a pretty good and useful App. I would like to see some improvements.
1. There is no function to edit/delete photo records. Also you can’t zoom photos, which makes them impossible to view in detail on an iPhone.
2. You can can have multiple users which is good for a family. However, in Vaccine Records, you should have the user name rather than “Home” as the header. This will reduce the chance of confusion.
3. I bought the add on to back up to Dropbox, but can’t synch across my devices (iPhone/iPad).
4. Covid-19 will need to be added as a vaccine option.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2016-01-10*

At first I was frustrated thinking I couldn't copy records to my new iPad, but discovered that was my error. Works great!

### 4/5 — Very basic but does what I wanted.

*2012-12-13*

There are many ways in which this app could be improved, but it does the basics and it is free. Of the six or more other free apps I tried, this was the most straight forward and applicable to my needs.
I can now consolidate all my vaccine info in a dedicated app. So far better than retaining numerous vaccine cards or making a random note or other document to have to refer to.

Syncing across devices would be good, as would syncing with reminders app for when vaccines are due. More options with the vaccine types would be nice as well. I don't seem to be able to edit my profile either, unless I create a new one and input all the info again (I put in the wrong DOB by mistake).

### 3/5 — Nice format - too inflexible

*2012-01-27*

Needs to allow custom vaccines because the list is neither comprehensive nor specific enough (e.g. There are several different meningitis, pneumonia and flu vaccines and combination vaccines exist e.g. HepA/HepB or HepA/typhoid). Needs a notes field for each dose to record lot number, exp date or other info. Chickenpox and shingles vaccines are entirely different formulations.

### 3/5 — good app

*2011-12-16*

I just wanted an app that would store my baby's vaccine history and found this one. looks promising, though I haven't gone through all features. theres one thing that caught my attention, i can't find a way to delete a person's record. will update my review as I go through the app.

A great travel app!

### 5/5 — Very hand app for travellers

*2011-10-14*

This app is super handy! Very convenient as a quick reference and also good for information on how long your vaccinations last for if you're unsure. Overall a great accompaniment to your standard travel docs and an easy way to keep the information stored.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2011-10-12*

What a great idea! I love that I'm able email my record!!!

### 1/5 — Can’t synchronize between devices

*2021-08-28*

Can’t figure out how to synchronize my iPhone with my iPad, and there is no assistance!

### 1/5 — Major Issues

*2021-03-10*

Got the Covid vaccine this afternoon and entered the information on the app. Today’s date filled in for the Covid vaccine as well as overwriting the dates for all the other vaccines previously entered. Not a happy camper. The only saving grace is that I was able to email the previously record information to myself. I will have to reenter the information into another app since this app has messed it up.

### 1/5 — Poor privacy

*2021-02-19*

Another info greedy app. Run!

### 1/5 — Mr tony

*2021-01-31*

You registration not working

### 1/5 — Could be so useful

*2021-01-20*

This app could super useful. It could be functional, simple, and elegant. It just isn’t any of those, other than simple.

### 1/5 — Forget it

*2016-05-22*

Has some good info but needs a lot of work. Can't import pdf for records and jpegs come out squashed. Has potential but no one is working to improve it.

### 1/5 — Bad Interface and No Password

*2015-05-01*

After struggling with the log on screen, I finally managed to continue. The main problem is that after typing any information, there is no way to dismiss the onscreen keyboard. I like the page showing the full names of the vaccine types since many apps just use the abbreviation without explaining what it is.

The biggest reason this app gets only one star is the lack of a password to access the vaccination records in the app. While there is no connection to a website or other online service, some of this information is protected under HIPAA. There should be a password requirement or encryption option to ensure the privacy of the app users.

### 1/5 — Lost all my records!

*2014-03-17*

I had one set of vaccinations 2 weeks ago and entered the info fully, today I had more vaccinations getting ready for travelling and all my previous info had been lost.  It had simply vanished and the app thought I’d never even logged in or registered before!  Hopeless if it doesn’t retain the information.

### 1/5 — Small hiccup

*2012-03-31*

Problem is that I am not able to add another vaccinations, like a flu vaccine.

### 3/5 — Useful, but needs an update

*2016-09-23*

This is a really useful app, which enables you to record all your travel vaccinations in one place, together with booster dates etc.

You can email a summary of vaccinations and copy paper records (eg the yellow fever certificate). 

The main problem I have with it is that it isn't cloud-based. As we now take this for granted in this digital world, it seems irritating and clunky.

### 5/5 — Works for me…

*2025-05-13*

I’ve used Dr. Deb’s app for about 11 years (2014). It’s simple and it does what I need. She doesn’t track anything. So, no need to worry about what’s happening with your data. If you want to track your vaccinations, this app will work for you.

### 5/5 — Reliable app

*2021-02-07*

Hoping it gets updated for COVID!

### 5/5 — Handy

*2020-05-26*

Great to have vaccine records stored online in one handy place. App is crashing at the moment when trying to view stored photos

### 5/5 — Brilliant App!

*2018-07-08*

This app is simple to use and saves the last minute frenzied search for vaccination records.

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2017-11-14*

I love this app. It’s so easy to look back and see what vaccinations you’ve had and when and also, more importantly, when they next fall due.

### 5/5 — Suggestion

*2014-10-26*

Great app but would be better if it could sync across all my devices

### 5/5 — Handy but some shortcomings

*2012-01-17*

I am using this to keep track of the immunization records for my 4 children. 

Pros: user-friendly interface, can enter multiple individuals, can email records

Cons : no cloud support, cannot see all individuals on one page, Why is there no Haemophilus category (Hib)? This is a basic childhood vaccination and is different from Pneumonia and Influenza!

Biggest con: No way to enter vaccines not listed and no comment box on entry form. For instance, it would be nice on Varicella to enter that the person had a confirmed case of chicken pox. 

Overall, it's fine and better than most. It could use some tweaking, though.

### 5/5 — Useful and Convenient for any Traveller

*2011-12-28*

I went overseas just recently, before I went I had to see the doctor to get my vaccinations, normally I have a terrible time remember what I have and Haven't received.

Having this app was a great help, I just put all the information in, and when I went to the doctors I could tell the exactly what I had, It saved me about $80 for a vaccine I was going to have but didn't need.

a Must Have app for any traveller, be it a once off trip or many.

### 5/5 — Vaccine record

*2011-12-02*

Excellent idea!! A Must have app for everyone! All your information stored conveniently.

### 5/5 — Vaccination record

*2011-11-28*

Great app saves a lot of time and hassel
