### 1/5 — What a waste of a download.

*2013-01-28, version 1.52*

Shame really,hardly any drug names it does recognise,even the generic names.It's only supposed to search the ones from Australia.,how many can that be?
Very dissappointing!!

### 1/5 — Peru

*2013-01-20, version 1.52*

Not that useful if you need additional information such as composition, doses, etc.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2012-12-04*

I tried that app doesn't not the info that u need you can just google it easer.

### 1/5 — DELETED

*2012-12-04*

Terrible app!  Does nothing that you don't already know!  Then if you want to see what your med might be called (or even available) in another country it takes you to a 4.00$ paid app. 

FAIL

Many  common drugs are not in there., needs a througj update.

### 1/5 — Drugs DB mediocre at best

*2012-03-10, version 1.35*

Drugs DB Is missing many drugs from it's data base. You may as well look up the drug on Wikipedia as that is what happens anyway. The only thing good is the app is free.
