1. [R8] Drugs.com Medication Guide 5/5 · US Excellent app: Drugs.com has been my go to app to keep my extensive medical history all in one place. I have tried many but this is the best app I have used!
2. [R29] Drugs.com Medication Guide 5/5 · US Cannot live without this app!!!!!!!!!: Drugs.com has such a surprisingly thorough and comprehensive database to not only include Rx medication, but also a wide variety of supplements. It is a great source to check drug interactions (to include the vitamins we take!!) and create an organized, easy to read list of medications to give to medical professionals and emergency personnel. It even organi
3. [R37] Drugs.com Medication Guide 5/5 · US Super Helpful Drug Guide!: Love my Drugs.com Medication Guide app! I’ve used this app for years to help me research drugs that my doctors prescribe and supplements I take. It helps me when my doctor prescribes a new medication to know potential interactions with other drugs I’m already taking. Sometimes doctors don’t notice that and I can discuss those with my doctors. This app is easy to use and
4. [R65] 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.
5. [R14] Drugs.com Medication Guide 5/5 · US Awesome: This app is exactly what I needed. It helps me with my medications. I use it frequently to add or remove my medications. When going to a doctor and they need me to give them my medications it is always on my phone so I can give them an accurate account. It can also be printed out. You can also add each of your family’s meds. Highly recommend.
6. [R27] Drugs.com Medication Guide 4/5 · US Love this App: It keeps all my meds organized, identified in alphabetical order, with dose amounts, times per day and short reference of what it is used for. It could be printed in a short list version or a longer more descriptive version with possible interactions with other drugs and previous drugs taken. I use it for my whole family. I print it out for each of our doctor visits. It is also easy
7. [R76] WebMD 2/5 · US clunky layout, no face id: The user interface is sloppy and all over the place and hard to navigate. And they don’t offer Face ID so you constantly have to put in your password.
8. [R66] 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!!
9. [R39] Drugs.com Medication Guide 5/5 · US My go to for information: The best and reliable information .
10. [R68] WebMD 5/5 · US Slow loading: I love this app. I use it every day for my reminders and notifications. The articles are also helpful ind interesting BUT when opening the app it loads slowly. Hope it can be fixed 🤞🏼
11. [R85] WebMD 1/5 · US Crashes every day: Everyday when my medication alerts pop in and I click them the app crashes
12. [R93] WebMD 3/5 · US Like the app, when it doesn’t crash.: Just downloaded the app on my iPhone 15 Pro (I’m running the most current operating system version: 17.4.1). When I search in the app for ‘tennis elbow exercises’ and afterwards tap on the article to open it, the app immediately crashes and kicks me out to my Home Screen. I rebooted my phone, and tried again, but the same problem still occurs. As a result, I c
13. [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
14. [R32] Drugs.com Medication Guide 2/5 · US Charging now?: I have always liked using this app, it has been so helpful. I have even used it for multiple profiles. However, I was very disappointed when they started charging a monthly fee to use their services.
15. [R67] WebMD 1/5 · US Not worth my time!: I received a security alert that my data may have been breached and was advised to change my password. Sounds reasonable except WebMD’s systems don’t actually work. This issue has been ongoing since at least mid-2025. Any attempt to update account information results in an endless spinning cog that never completes. I tested this on: • WebMD’s website (Safari and Firefox) • T
16. [R88] WebMD 1/5 · US Too much activity: Pop ups click this click that no scroll but then asks if I love it. I’ve opened this app twice in idk how long and it takes longer to get info here than google. Also a dark screen option would be nice
17. [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!
18. [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
19. [R115] WebMD 1/5 · US Log in: Say my email is already used but won’t let me change password
20. [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
