Very useful to cross check medication interactions and possible side effects. I find that I have to look up using chemical names rather than brand names for my location (ie outside USA) as they are often not in the contents list.

It is by far the greatest medical app available, well after medscape. However, we have slight but non-negligible incoveniences about the app: (1) It does not permit selection of 'drug dose' when browsing information for a specific drug; I've tried & failed on multiple occasions. (2) It takes forever to load some content, even on a fairly strong internet connection. Now i don't know if these shortfalls are phone-specific, but please fix them to avoid ruining an otherwise brilliant app.

It's a very good app. Does exactly as described. I use more of the interaction checker, which has helped me adjust dosage time between drugs or know when to eat certain food that may interact with your drug. The best I've ever used, I therefore recommend it!

We occasionally find stray pills, laying under chairs, beds, etc. This app makes it easier for us to look up a pill and see what they are since, sometimes the drug stores, change the same pills we take, with another brand, that looks different! Plus lots of other information, as well. Handy!

UPDATE: I notice you didn't deny sending my GPS COORDINATES to the data collectors. Still getting 1 star for being a part of the problem. One-star for selling my personal data and location information to Microsoft, Google and another data collector. If you don't care enough about my privacy to keep it private, then I don't care enough about you to give your app a higher rating.

I've been using this app for a long time. Nice to be able to create multiple profiles, take drugs off list without forgetting about them (taken before) and the research is invaluable for a guy on 12 prescriptions. I wish I couldd afford to pay the premium price to give back, because I'm not a fan of subscriptions. Thanks team for making this app and keeping up-to-date!

Very easy app to get immediate and accurate information about medical information. Easiest pill identifier that I've ever seen. I got sick about 15 years ago and my medication has changed so many times this app was the only way for me to keep track and to identify stray pills that get left in a daily organizer or hop under the bed. This app has literally been a life saver.

Am taking 9 Rx and they ALL seem to be interacting. Right now Im scared and overwhelmed. Had suspected that the data on hosp/Dr computers was suspect, and checking interactions was sketchy. Now I know the Dr are not to be trusted. Not that the Drs are bad but if the data is wrong (or incomplete) they will never be right. There is no verification or audit of the data. Any error will stay on your record until the patient gets it changed. Even then erroneous data may reappear. It has in my case.

This is a WONDERFUL way of tracking not just my own, but each member of my family's medications, illnesses, and allergies. I've used it for years, and have almost everything I need for tracking the problems and treatments for each of my family members in one app that I can then share with each of our docs easily, either electronically or by printing it for them. There are so many things this app tracks, I think every family with chronic illnesses or aging members absolutely NEEDS to use it!

This app has helped me organize my medications in my mind. I take approximately 20 different medications each day, having a list helps me to sort and set up my meds. The printout is extremely helpful when going to different doctors, bringing all your pills or trying to remember them all is very difficult if not impossible for me. I also like having the list to check off when I'm ordering medications. Since I can't think of any improvements to suggest, will have to give it but full 5-star rating!

As a nurse, I ♥️ this app. Having the ability to view meds as a lay person and a professional, is very insightful. I do have a couple of suggestions that could better the application. I would like to see the ability to tract your vital signs, glucose and weight. With that you would be able to manage your total health with one application. Good job 👍.

Highly recommend this app for people who need to keep track of many different medications, especially if they change often. It has many helpful features for both managing existing medications/dosages and researching new ones (it checks interactions with both other drugs and any medical conditions you might have). Having a list to refer to when I visit my doctors, to make sure I can get all the dosages straight and not leave anything out, gives a lot of peace of mind.

This is my go to app whenever I need to learn about a medication. Found a pill? not sure what it's for? Look it up by color, size, shape or printing. Creating a medication list is easy using the scanning feature and is a great tool to keep track of refills.You can also print a med list for your Drs visit. So many other tools in this app.

Great App, highly recommended. It's a must for anyone on multiple medication. Very informative, easy to use and understand. The amount of options this app delivers is incredible. You can look up medication by: *Appearance, condition or definition *Side Effects *Drug to Drug or Drug to Food interactions. You can input your own medication and you'll always have your current list handy...no piece of paper to keep up with...no having to update that paper list with every dose or medication change.

So helpful. Great tool. I take 22 different meds and by taking a few minutes to load them all in here I finally have everything organized. Not only that, but all my safety concerns with the different combinations and interactions are clearly highlighted and explained. Whenever one of my doctors adds something new, all I have to do is add it to the list, and the interactions with all the others are automatically updated. Besides all that, it prints a very nice wallet size list for me.

Excellent app. for tracking all your meds. along with all the possible side effects and adverse interactions with other meds. Makes it so much easier than going through a list of all your meds. and cross indexing them to every other med. you have. This is especially true for meds. that are taken on an as needed basis. 🙃😁 I take about 35 total different meds., of which about 30 are by prescription. This is a real time saver and maybe a life saver. Knowing which meds. to not take. 😁🤓 SUPER APP

Still use it and love it after 2 years! I wish I found this sooner. Absolutely love the ability to print off a list of meds, allergies and conditions. I use the detail section to record Doctors who prescribed and date and detail of reaction. I have used another one but would not allow for printing and Doctor offices don't have time for you to pull open your phone and app. I can just hand them the list. There is also a section for notes where you can add in surgeries and procedures. Love it!

It's nice to get everything in one organized place, but I really need IMAGES of the pills right in the meds list. In fact, it would be really nice if it had a computer vision feature that could match the pills you have laid out with the camera to the ones on your list and tell you if you've got them all there or which ones are missing. I take 16 meds right now with frequent changes to my regimen. So, I really have to double check that everything is correct. This app doesn't help me do that

I find the app very useful for tracking my many meds and checking interactions. However there seems to be a bug with the sharing feature. When I try to share my med list, it shares a link to create a new profile instead. I have had to manually type the URL for my profile in order to direct the recipient to the right place. This is an important feature for me because it makes it easier to give doctors accurate info and because I want a friend to have an up to date list in case of emergency.

Seems to be very useful when on complex med list. However. Would be nice to be able to develop a way to split list based on meds scheduled time to take. As drugs interact with others they need to be separated by time, I had to devise 5 separated list to get true interaction data based on that scheduled med list. Needs to have ability to copy/move between profile list(s) to make sub lists, instead of having to reenter data each time. Very time consuming and more likely to human error. Great.
