1. [R1] Drugs.com Medication Guide 1/5 · US Mental Health app: I’m really kinda irritated with the app! It says that they are gonna charge you for $2, and then before you can blink, you have another charge for $14.99 and another after that, fortunately my credit card blocked the third transaction before it could go thru!!! This is very unbelievably rude and unprofessional in my opinion! I will definitely be changing the settings on my iPhon
2. [R4] Drugs.com Medication Guide 1/5 · US Sad to see it happen to this app: This is a great app, or was I should say now. To go from paying five dollars to remove ads to now you gotta pay $8.99 a month to remove ads just shows how many developers and companies are going to greed immediately. I definitely pay to move ads and I don’t need all the other extra stuff as much but to go from five dollars a year to now have to pay nine bucks a mo
3. [R10] Drugs.com Medication Guide 1/5 · US Scam: Used to be great years ago! I paid $2.99 to remove ad’s, now they have Plans up to $29.99! I’ve tried to contact them through support and they give me an error message!
4. [R13] Drugs.com Medication Guide 1/5 · US Shady app: I would like to cancel my free trial subscription, however the app requires you to use a link sent to your email. The links getting sent to my email open the same page I’m trying to go to and then have the same message. It’s not possible to cancel or change plans/ subscriptions. Highly shady app. Take off the App Store! Also unable to contact app support as it says security verification
5. [R16] Drugs.com Medication Guide 1/5 · US Get rid of the ads easier: It was nice to pay $5 a year for your product. Now it’s not easy to subscribe and get no ads. Have to find an alternative for those that actually use these apps.
6. [R47] Drugs.com Medication Guide 2/5 · GB Disappointed: U only can remove adds max 1 year irritating, information offers are easy free else wear and not very acutely, and not giving my email to a company that targets u spam
7. [R7] Drugs.com Medication Guide 1/5 · US Horrible job keeping my meds straight: Would not recommend this app
8. [R9] Drugs.com Medication Guide 3/5 · US Lost my touch: I was a certified med tech for decades. In the ‘old days’ this was my Bible. Tonight I just tried to ID 4 different (old) pills I found, with no luck. Go figure….
9. [R15] Drugs.com Medication Guide 3/5 · US love but one major issue: This app has definitely helped me keep track of all of my medications and doses as well as any possible interactions w other foods/substances. My issue with it is that it logs me out of the app every. single. time. i close it. its so annoying having to log again every time i need to check my list. why not just use a website atp?
10. [R21] Drugs.com Medication Guide 1/5 · US Cumbersome: I have to login every single time I use the interaction checker, constantly lose my list and have to re-create it
11. [R25] Drugs.com Medication Guide 1/5 · US Stuck on “short” ad: I tried to get Imformation on side effects of a drug and this pop-up shows up. It requires that you watch a “short” ad before moving on. you can’t close the ad or the pop-up box. There is no X in the corner. Your only option is to proceed with the short ad. The short ad takes a long time because it is a survey of all these things you have to answer about your health and then t
12. [R6] Drugs.com Medication Guide 3/5 · US Missing drug class!: The medication guide is fine, but it does not give me what class of drug the pharmaceutical is Designated, why??!
13. [R17] Drugs.com Medication Guide 4/5 · US Good app: Would be great if there were fields for what doctor and when prescribed.
14. [R35] Drugs.com Medication Guide 1/5 · US Printing ability gone: I used to be able to quickly share to printer and take this for my appointments and now the ability is totally gone. I'm beyond po'd about this right now. Bring the ability to print back!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
15. [R18] Drugs.com Medication Guide 3/5 · GB No good for the UK: This is an excellent app. Very user friendly and clear to use. However, unfortunately, it does not appear to have drugs licenced for use in the UK... so not much good for me!
16. [R56] GoodRx 5/5 · US Marsha Lee: Excellent savings! Amazing site! Highly recommend!
17. [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!
18. [R58] GoodRx 5/5 · US GoodRx saves: I have saved lots of money using GoodRx since losing my job. It is a gold mine
19. [R59] GoodRx 5/5 · US Great pharmacy: I’m in healthcare and have recommended this Rx company to many people, very efficient and great prices.
20. [R66] WebMD 4/5 · US 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.
21. [R68] WebMD 1/5 · US Meh: Won’t sync with devices. Has a lot of general information. Not specifically helpful.
22. [R69] WebMD 5/5 · US 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.
23. [R70] WebMD 3/5 · US Won’t always open: I love this app and have used it for many years to track medication and check symptoms, but it is getting really frustrating. That half of the time I try to open it it won’t open. Please fix this!!
24. [R79] Pill Reminder 1/5 · US What Happened?: My app stopped working and I am at a loss without it. Please help me.
25. [R80] Pill Reminder 5/5 · US Superb app!!!: Whoever created this app really thought a lot of details through. It must’ve been very familiar with the need for it.
26. [R81] Pill Reminder 3/5 · US Helpful: I use the app as a reminder and tracker. However if I try and adjust the time (as when I travel) it erases the history.
27. [R82] Pill Reminder 1/5 · US “Free” version is 100% useless: You can only add 2 reminders for medication in “free” at which you are notified you have to pay 1.99 to add more/unlimited. This was a waste of time - 9/10 if you only have 2 meds to take you likely done need a reminder. I have 10 pills , an ointment & an injection to take - what use it 2 reminders for only- none. I like that they had the names and dosage in the app
28. [R93] Davis's Drug Guide 1/5 · US Unable to Use After Paying: I renewed my subscription after the trial and it still won't let me search meds on the app! I need this to work for nursing school.
29. [R94] Davis's Drug Guide 5/5 · US Great Guide!: I remember when these guides were in a ginormous textbook. This guide is convenient and has colorful pix. The best part is the Pronunciation Guide! With the glut of medications, it great to hear the precise pronunciation. The Calculator section is very handy too.
30. [R95] Davis's Drug Guide 3/5 · US Update Needed: Updates needed more often! Looked up a medication today and it wasn’t listed! Had to use Google instead!
31. [R96] Davis's Drug Guide 1/5 · US Poor business practices: This app was useful as a student, but I now get a superior drug guide for free through my workplace. However, there is no way to cancel this subscription. Please beware that if you subscribe to this app you are locked in for life. Better off with the hard copy of the book
32. [R108] Davis Drug Guide For Nurses 5/5 · US My go too: I’ve been using Davis Drug Guide for nurses since I was in nursing school in 2016. It’s carried me through all my years as a nurse and now going into my years as a nurse practitioner. It’s very helpful easy to use. I recommend it to anybody wherever they are in their career.
33. [R109] Davis Drug Guide For Nurses 3/5 · US Helpful if you have time: This app is incredibly helpful for its accuracy, layout and and information however can be difficult to use in a clinical setting because of how long it takes to load each page
34. [R110] Davis Drug Guide For Nurses 1/5 · US Nobody should have to pay an annual subscription to retain access one book: It’s an example of how we exploit each other even as we lament being exploited by larger corporate interests.
35. [R111] Davis Drug Guide For Nurses 5/5 · US Useful: Better than the provided micromedix
36. [R12] Drugs.com Medication Guide 3/5 · US Good, but: It’s a good app but you have to pay if you want more than 3 profiles. Plus, if you delete the 3rd profile to change to someone different it will only permit you to have two profiles
37. [R19] Drugs.com Medication Guide 1/5 · US Can’t cancel: Can’t cancel and no phone number or chat option. They keep charging me $8.99
38. [R23] Drugs.com Medication Guide 2/5 · US Identifying medications: When I try to identify a particular pill it will not work. And it is different from what it used to be i.e before it let you choose a color, shape and you could put in any identifying information. This app has changed from that format. I liked it better than this one.
39. [R39] Drugs.com Medication Guide 1/5 · US Crashes: Use to be an amazing tool, now it crashes every time I click to identify a medication
