Won’t let me enter medicine name.
nod57
This App gives suggested medicine names but won’t let me enter the medicine name on prescription bottle label. Very frustrating. Apparently this issue will not be fixed.
Best Drug App

I’m a pharmacy tech working in a chemo infusion center and this app is perfect. I love how I’m able to find all the info I need under the drug name and how there is a place for me to add my own notes.
Drug Summary

This app has never let me down in my years of nursing. I always find the drug information the first time.
Not what it seems
HD-UpdateSucks
I needed the RSI drugs and they have not been reviewed yet. Wasted my money. Don’t out out a product that isn’t complete.
Limited Information
okay-review
The idea is good, but the information provided is limited or omitted. You’re better off using the Drugs.com app or WebMd
Pharmacy Tech
It won't open:(
Tech in training and still learning about medications. Super helpful because I don’t know the generics and name brands of a lot of medications as well as all their uses. And I absolutely don’t mind paying $0.99 a month because it’s helping so much and I appreciate the care put into updating the app. Only thing I could as for is a pronunciation guide but I really love this app
Fantastic app!

Not only is it useful and highly efficient, the company also protects your privacy by not storing your information on their servers or Cloud. An extremely rare find! Even the Walgreens app shares all of your information with Google (yes, Google, just read their privacy policy on their website) and NUMEROUS other entities. 5 stars for the designer of this app! **It’s now been ages since I wrote my review and I am STILL thrilled with the app. They keep the information very current and the app is still very user-friendly. Great job guys!
Absolutely love this app

I love the convenience of having all my medications and diagnoses listed in one place, as well as a tracker, interactions and side effects. My only suggestion would be to have the option to notate how much of the medication is being taken for that dose, as some medication's directions are 1-2 as needed, for example.
Paywall! None shall pa$$!

I understand and appreciate that developers would like to and should see fruits from their labor. And I for one don’t mind helping. However, to block all access to the app completely and shove everything behind a pay wall is, I believe, an egregious reach. There are positive user experience options such as placing ads within this app and having a monthly payment option to have them removed - which could serve the same ends for the developer receiving profits and without being like the Emerald City doorman in the Wizard of Oz. Same result but less of a grating thing for those who want or need to know something in a pinch. If this was an entertainment app I wouldn’t even leave a review, but the information within could be helpful for someone in need. Thankfully, there are other options in the App Store. If anything changes, I will be back, delete this one star review, and replace it if that is possible.
