  1. [R1] GoodRx 1/5 · US Terrible app. Will take your money: Got online consultation just to be told I need to go see a primary care doctor. Ummm isn’t that why I paid to see you? Extremely disappointed and I want my $49 back.
  2. [R6] GoodRx 1/5 · US Horrible: I’ve been trying for so long to stop these charges on my account that I have t had in MONTHS!!! There is nothing it seems I can do to stop my card from being charged for a app/account I’ve never used.
  3. [R2] GoodRx 4/5 · US In my experience: I have trouble with navigating this app. Maybe I need practice
  4. [R12] GoodRx 4/5 · US Pricing for Good Rx Companion card is not shown: I have subscribed to the Good Rx Companion program, but the app shows only the normal pricing, which is quite a bit higher.

  5. [R18] GoodRx 4/5 · US Service good but app changes...: I like the service overall, and have no complaint as someone that combines the discounts with existing insurance.
