User Reviews
Love this app, easy of use, accuracy and detailed information on the drug researched. I have tried others and deleted them all. This is the only one I trust and use.
Should be able to tell what is imprinted on the pill to identify what it is
This app used to be very helpful but now I put in what’s printed on my pill and it gives me absolutely no information. If I knew the name of the pill, I wouldn’t need this app…
Obvious clone of that safari feature where u can turn the webpage into an app shortcut and for a dollar? Reminds me of an ugly fat girl getting mad at you for not being 6'5 rich and a genius while not a nerd
Almost useless when logo is sole identifier and color choices are far too limited. No photo capability. I do not recommend this app. Dr Richard Hilburn. Goals of Care, PLLC
$1 is cheap for what this app does. Don’t useable picture but it does ask you what is written in the pill!
I just received an rx that is imprinted 189, round pink pill (medium pink) by Rising pharm . This is the first time my rx for bupropion xl 300 has been pink, wanted to double check if it’s the correct med. this medium pink pill is not in your database , does not appear to be updated
Did not identify pill didn’t even have it in database and I searched for it.
Not sure why I thought paying for the app would be more convenient but it definitely isn’t. The filters for shape and color disappear when you type in an imprint, and the search results are just the names, rather than the photos like it displays on the site. Pointless.
As an EMT know Pharmacology is important and necessary to know immediately… If not in my memory the app. help me identify medications FAST AND QUICK! The other features like seeing a pic. of the medication(s) helps not only identify the medication(s) but the dosages those medication(s) are. Side Effects, Contraindications, Brand/Generic Names including much more. Job well done developers …
