Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.

  1. [R9] RxLocal 3/5 · US App is great -when it works: This app is a convenient way to order refills and check on the status of prescriptions. However, the refill page hasn’t worked in a while. I had been able to order refills by messaging the pharmacy through the app, but today the app won’t load - just the “bouncing capsule”. I tried restarting my phone but the app still won’t load. Hope these issues are corrected soon.
  2. [R13] RxLocal 1/5 · US Not working: At this very moment the pill that is pictured flipping as part of the opening graphic continues to spin without logging on. It has done this off and own. Very frustrating.
  3. [R16] RxLocal 1/5 · US Doesn’t work: Won’t ever load. I’m tired of watching the capsule bounce around.
  4. [R17] RxLocal 5/5 · US Very helpful but: The app makes refilling my medication very easy but as I write this the app doesn’t load It’s stuck on the loading screen and just has the pill bouncing as if it’s loading I’ve tried deleting it, restarting my phone, giving the app full access to everything and everything I can think of
  5. [R7] RxLocal 1/5 · US Horrible / Worthless: How this app has a 4.7 star rating is beyond me! It’s worthless ! It loses my medication list over and over again. Sick of it.
  6. [R10] RxLocal 2/5 · US Active meds: I hate that meds drop off the screen as soon as you fill the last refill. It’s easy to miss meds that I need to be on routinely.
  7. [R15] RxLocal 3/5 · US Disappear: Wish scrips with no refills wouldn’t disappear. Leads me to forget to ask Dr. for refill.
  8. [R19] RxLocal 1/5 · US Very buggy: This app is awful. Prescriptions constantly disappear so I can’t use the app to request a refill. It always shows “No new messages” regardless if there are or not and some messages from my pharmacy never make it to me. I have complained about this repeatedly over the past couple of years but the problems never get fixed.
  9. [R4] RxLocal 2/5 · US Good start, major gaps: What’s there is good, especially being able to message the pharmacy and refill meds in the app. However the interface is clunky, and feels unfinished. The only way to see the status of refills that have already been requested is to start the refill workflow again- there’s no place to see at a glance what’s in process. Also even with notifications enabled, the app does not g
  10. [R6] RxLocal 3/5 · US This app could be great: This app never sends me notifications that my meds are done. I have to open up the messages and see if they have seen filled. It would be great to get a text message or if there was any sort of notification marker on the app anyway to show that there was any sort update in status to remind me to check on them. I feel like that's one purpose of this app that's is really lac
  11. [R38] RxLocal 4/5 · US Notifications: I don’t receive notifications the pharmacy has messaged me.
  12. [R12] RxLocal 3/5 · US Could be improved: The app needs to allow the ability to remove medications that are no longer being used so they no longer appear in the medication list
  13. [R23] RxLocal 4/5 · US Allow removal of prescriptions: I should be able to delete prescriptions that I no longer use.
  14. [R27] RxLocal 3/5 · US Great App, Cluttered Prescription View: The app is convenient for requesting refills and communicating with my pharmacy, but the prescription list quickly becomes cluttered. Every time a prescription is filled, it appears as a separate entry instead of grouping all fills under one medication. This means I have to scroll through multiple instances of the same prescription to find the most recent o
  15. [R39] RxLocal 3/5 · US Old prescriptions: If they would have old prescriptions in a different place so its easier to keep up with what you are currently taking and not taking would make it to where you don’t get mixed up when getting refills
  16. [R22] RxLocal 1/5 · US Horrible: This application has been absolutely impossible to use. Despite registering and reaching out to customer service multiple times, I still have not been able to connect to my pharmacy. I have no ability to access my prescription information. I will likely have to switch pharmacies as a result of the ineffectiveness of this application and the negative impact it is having on my ability to a
  17. [R28] RxLocal 1/5 · US Garbage: Can not get past registration even after checking with pharmacy for accuracy of data on file.
  18. [R31] RxLocal 1/5 · US Can’t even register: I tried a while back and was unable to proceed past the pharmacy selection. The only options it allows me to choose are My Pharmacy Isn’t Listed or Back. I have tried to register on the app and website, on mobile and on my computer. Tried to get “support” but it takes you to a product page boasting benefits of a product I can’t access.
  19. [R46] RxLocal 1/5 · US Unusable: Cannot get registered at all no matter what and there is no help Option
  20. [R3] RxLocal 3/5 · US Adequate App: This app is adequate to get the job done, but I don’t find it very user friendly. It needs more specific directions, easier ways to switch from 1 pharmacy to another to message, and the texting option gives a link to messages from the pharmacy but the link, when used, does not show the message. You must log into RxLocal & switch to the correct pharmacy by changing it to primary fir
  21. [R21] RxLocal 3/5 · US RxReview: Good app. Could have a better layout. Could run smoother. Another than that. It has everything you need to refill your medications.
  22. [R52] GoodRx 4/5 · US In my experience: I have trouble with navigating this app. Maybe I need practice
  23. [R1] RxLocal 1/5 · US Can’t monitor Deliver: Can’t monitor delivers go to website says 404
  24. [R35] RxLocal 5/5 · US Offer delivery: Offer delivery on refill page
  25. [R36] RxLocal 3/5 · US Delivery selection: Would be nice to have a delivery selection.
  26. [R40] RxLocal 1/5 · US Needs Major Updates !!: App does not allow patients to be able to see prescriptions being filled. App also does not allow patient’s to check on delivery times. And if a prescription shows up on your doorstep and you had no way of knowing it was even going to be delivered, they will not drop it off without a signature. And it will be sent back to the pharmacy and you’ll have to jump through hoops
  27. [R57] GoodRx 5/5 · US Noah: The greatest app ever created for people without health insurance or in between jobs that offer health insurance. It has saved me thousands of dollars. Thank you GoodRx!

  35. [R81] RxSaver Prescription Discounts 3/5 · US Two different prices on the same day in the same hour: Yes, Walgreens was listed as about $220 for my prescription and also $140 guess which price they said they were selling it at if the other pharmacy work the same way then this will turn out to be useless but it did look promising before we actually tried to fill it at a a pharmacy
  36. [R84] RxSaver Prescription Discounts 3/5 · US Oxycodone: Every time I try to use the coupon which is suppose to bring the medication to $20.64. It doesn’t work, they punch it in and it over a Hundred dollars. Please Update Your System.
  37. [R86] RxSaver Prescription Discounts 5/5 · US Great prices: Really great quotes but in my city area most won’t honor, when I travel they do. I know you’ve helped me so much losing insurance e all going on, but I wish the drug companies e pharmacies had more empathy! You are a huge help!!!
