Very HELPFUL

When you have to explain in doctor words ❤️

Drug interactions

I have all of my prescriptions listed in the drug interactions section and it says no drug interactions found!! That’s crazy because most of my drugs interact with some of them serious and yet nothing!! It used to list the interactions with each and every drug I’m currently on. I just went to list a new one because two of my meds interacted in a way that caused my breathing too to worse. That’s when I noticed that now it says no drug interactions!!
This used to be the best thing on this app. I had a way to keep an eye on all the different interactions so I could discuss them with my doctor but now no clue. What a shame!!

Doesn’t work in the UK

All of the doctors are based in America, so would not recommend this app if you’re not from America.

Mark’s Mentioning

I find Web MD to be. An invaluable aid in diagnosing personal medical questions, and translating “doctor-speak” into understandable English. It helps me understand medications and their use.

Ankle soreness

I just wanted to find a treatment for a sore ankle. As far as the answers I wanted. I was not able to get anything close to what I needed! Useless app for this!

Update has deleted medication history

After an app upgrade, all my historical stats relating to my medication has disappeared. It seems I haven’t taken my meds all year now. Not helpful and not very clear why this has happened or how to resolve.

Broken.

Just asks me to start over constantly

Update?

There must have been an update. Meds that I had saved are missing.

Updated App

Lost data - terrible.

App was great until….

I mostly use the app for the med reminders as I need to take 8 different meds and supplements 3 times a day. Since the latest update, the app only kept 5 of my meds and no longer has any history of me taking the meds for at least the past 6 months. It could be longer, but I didn’t feel like scrolling back any more.

Drug Interactions

The section for drug interactions isn’t working. When you type a medication, it shows as No Results Found.

MY SOURCE WHEN I NEED IT !

Which can be every day having CAD and now with a newly installed ICD (pacemaker) implant recently - Always my choice to reverify what I might have missed from a medical visit.

Absolute scam

Been trying to get a basic refill since June. And before that it took 7 months to get the first medication shipped. They always message “we’re elevating your concern” or “we’ve passed you message on to your provider”. I don’t think they actually have any doctors. STAY FAR AWAY

I would like to know how to delete and add medications to the list.

I like the reminders and the report on pollens.

Contradicting

This app doesn’t save birthday or sex, and neither does the website. Nor does it save the email address? How are we supposed to create a profile for easier use when the app doesn’t work properly??

Very helpful go to references

I find this very helpful for quick research on my medical conditions. Seeing a dr for every little thing is unproductive.

Verified medication details from professional doctors

Med reminders, doctors, symptom checker, medicine side effects

WebMD

An excellent medical site that explains in lay terms medical diagnoses and treatments. The explanations are geared to patients and give information that is aimed at a layperson.

Slow loading

I love this app. I use it every day for my reminders and notifications. The articles are also helpful ind interesting BUT when opening the app it loads slowly. Hope it can be fixed 🤞🏼

Healthy dad wanting solid medical info

WebMD is a trusted site with credible, clear, and helpful information for me and my family. I appreciate the lack of hyperbole, direct information, and that it doesn’t always have an answer. It reminds me that it’s a resource but not the end-all/be-all for everyday medical issue questions.
