Pill Identifier By Drugscom App Reviews

Very poor. Only able to choose one color for the pill when it had two color. Waste of money.

This help me with my elderly mom pills so she can know what it is when she forget to discontinue the out dated ones.

Very poor app. No way to show upper & lower imprints when divided by a line on same side. Tip says “use a space to separate front and back imprints”. That doesn’t work either.

I’m a Parkinson’s Disease patient wit COPD and AFib. I take 15 separate medications, all daily..some of them five and six times a day. I’m an intelligent, educated man with a very vertical brain that still at 77 works just fine, thank you. So here’s the thing..I endeavored,on your app, to find each & every one of the 15 Rx’s, being very, very careful about inputting the correct alphanumerics, with a helper cross-checking. Want to know how many we found? Zero! None! Nada! Zip! You guys are pathetic. David Martin Berkeley, CA

Really you could not even identify a potassium pill I did every which way according to the pill and the bottle. And you still could not identify it.

I updated the app and suddenly there are ads in my paid app. The developer has sold over to the dark side. The app has become sluggish since. I’m uninstalling and I want my money back. All paid users have been cheated and should be immediately issued a refund.

Used the pill identifier from drugs.com found on chrome search for years and loved it, so thought that this app would be as good. It is terrible! Pills that you find on the search app are not here. As soon as you type in an identifier you can’t use color and shape so get plethora of pills to choose from. I am deleting it from my phone.

I have enjoyed your Pill Reminder app. But am disappointed with this Pill Identifier. I paid $ for this one and it doesn’t show all medications. Only popular ones such as narcotics. I had gotten Pill Reminder in app advice a couple years ago or so and I LOVE IT. PLEASE fix this one so I can see all medications for USA thanks, Kit D Kat 100

What a waste of my time. RECOMENDED: DO NOT BUY THIS APP.

Tried pink, peach and the number 20 with no other markings, nada.

Very few manufacturers listed. No features other than search. I want my money back.

I wife was in the hospital and after surgery we had continuous problems with the medication that she was told to take. After checking each medication we would call the nurse back in and get the list corrected. They were using an old medication list from five years prior, mixed with a fresh medication list from a phone interview with a nurse from the hospital just a week before the surgery. That interview was 45 minutes long and covered even holistic and across the counter meds. In my opinion, the hospital has no excuse for messing this up so bad. And, to top it off, she was in the intensive care ward with the best professionals available. What does that make you feel like? Check your pills!!

I love it because I use this app all day at work. I just got a new phone, the iPhone X, and now can’t see the drug name when I get the search results. Please fix?

Found this app to be accurate and great for those pills that sit around to long, also I always double check pharmacy, I have had them give me wrong pills before great app, well worth 99 cents compared to free one.

This pill identifier app is easy and convenient.

This is the ONLY pill identifier I will ever use, and I've tried probably every one of them! It even tells you what meds will interact or interfere with the ones you're already taking. I love this app!! Everyone needs this particular app if u take more than one kind of medicine!!! Especially maintenance type meds ( High BP, cholesterol, ect..) I even went ahead and paid for the Pro edition. It's worth every penny! I'd give it more than 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️s if it gave me the option!

In the past I was able to use this site easily Now I have a plain white round pill with only identifier is a upper case Y on one side So not helpful Maybe some how a pic could be taken and data base would see what I was talking about

I checked this app with two known pharmaceutical pills. It could not identify either one. Using it's for identifier as shape and color and markings and could not find them.

Keep up the good works.

As a cop, this app is one essential tool for the job.

I work in law enforcement and the number of times this app has helped me ID a pill without having to bust into the giant drug bible is invaluable!! This is a great, easy to use tool for other cops, or people just needing to know what pills they have shoved in the bottom of their purse in a plastic bag.

Exceptional app for use on the job. Accurate information and descriptions.

This app is something that was missing: Recognizing pills by their markings & birdsongs. If you know anyone, or help anyone manage their pill minders - it can be daunting to track many medications and schedules. This does what it says: It identifies pills. I wouldn’t say it was easy. Using this tells you what a jumble it is to be a pharmacist. All it does is search the db for the meds & deliver choices. It did not find any pills in the shape of Fred Flintstone, however. This rates the app back to itself. I can’t rate this against similar applications, because I won’t buy every one to assess them properly. What would be useful: Being able to capture identification information by groupings locally would be useful. You can do that now, with screenshots. It means that one has to trust that a person has kept the medication screenshots current & the onus is placed on the user for accuracy.

Entered 3 different pills. Tried shape color imprint. Went back and tried again it does work. Entered by name.

My Mammaw has cancer and is in numerous meds, always adding something new to what she already takes. She tends to drop pills or forget one in her pill reminder and this app help so much when I find a pill I can't identify. It definitely helps tremendously when she gets a different brand of a pill she is already taking and the new manufacturer's brand looks different to her.

This is my "go-to" app when I find a pill that I have dropped, or a refill is manufactured by a different company. Identifies it every time!

Easy to use, quick to deploy in the field.

Fast and informative. Great resource!

This app could be very useful if the database were more complete. If you search R 128 Round peach pill, you get what this patient ingested immediately. Doesn't show at all on here. So sad

There was a reason why I deleted this app a long time ago. Thought I'd try it again to see if they're data base was updated...nooope. Had to use google to find my pill.

Very simple to use

Tried looking up two different pills and neither one was found. They are regularly taken by my husband but the brands were different. I only wanted to double check myself. Not worth the money.

Easy to use but missing a lot of drug data. Could not ID 'U 172' as memantine.

Found a stray pill under chair today, put the name & number in and it was identified immediately.

Not enough. Description or identifiers. Search has no expansion data.

I used this app a few times over many years. It has given correct answers most of the time.

Helpful app when identifying medication but... please get rid of the adds! There's no need for adds in apps, especially when you are required to pay for the app.

I must to give this app a five star rating I believe it has saved my life!!! Recently I was in the hospital and from the hospital transferred to a rehabilitation facility, The hospital was of course very cautious with the medication they gave me and told me what each pill was that they were giving me unfortunately when transferred to the rehabilitation facility it became a nightmare!!! I felt like I had stepped into the twilight zone!!! These people the nurses which I'm being very nice calling them that would hand me a cup of medicine & I would ask what is this and they would say it's your high blood pressure medicine and your seizure medicine so as soon as the nurses back was turned I checked the medication numbers and identifying marks that were on the tablets and discovered that they were not giving me my medicine, as prescribed by my doctor but we're giving me Tylenol #3 & A medicine for low blood pressure so in fact they could have killed me by doing this!!! So I was able to check the app identify the medicine and not take it and so I am alive to write this review!!!! Also was in the hospital last year , where the exact same thing happened and again I checked this app to identify the tablets and they were not my prescribed medication but rather belonging to another patient!!! If I could I would give this app 1000 star rating you guys save my life two times how do I thank you????

Very accurate, as a medical professional I always check behind pharmacies after my meds are filled because you never know when the form or shape of them changes, so this is an accurate tool to use to ensure the meds are legit and the pharmacy techs are/have filled your meds accurately...human error and mistakes can and do happen and this tool stays up on the latest technology with any new changes that come about with medicine and gives a thoroughly detailed analysis of what it is and how it looks along with basic instructions for administering and any warnings or side effects to consider before taking.

It does not recognize any medication It is a joke

Excellent app for layperson. Will highly recommend to friends.

It didn't have a reference for Tramadol and I find it very hard to believe since it's a very popular pain medicine.

The app has good information about many common medications.

Quite useful, to be sure. When I'm keen to know what my b***** child, girl, mum or pop has taken, here's my go-to guide. Thanks for the app! N.I.

Best and easiest app of any I've found. They could charge for it. Even if part of the marking has rubbed off. I wanted to be a Pharmacist when I grew up and everyone who knows me says I'm as close as a non-pharmacist can get.

Useful app. It has proven useful in my clinical practice. I use it frequently.

This app really works and does what it says it will do.

If you want to know what pill is, this app will tell you. If you find a pill on the floor or in your teenager's pocket, within a minute, you will know what it is, what it's for & more. I use it all the time. It's one of the most useful apps I have!!

Love it help me keep up with my meds.

At first I chose the "barrel" shape. When I finally found the "round" shape, the information came up immediately.

This app is dope asf. By far best I've seen and it helps a lot.

Helping keep these local teens from getting their hands on potentially deadly doses of pills. This APP tells me undoubtedly what the drug is and dosage! It was only difficult in finding an over the counter drug number for medicine such as antacid or cold. However, Rx pill codes are spot on. I highly recommend it for whatever your search is and it may save lives knowing!!! ;) Five (5) Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

When I need to know about a pill I just look it up. If a pill gets loose on its own. I just look it up and put it in its bottle. I love this app because it is with me always.

I'm on several Rxs & a number of them look very similar. This app is very useful when I need to quickly confirm a particular medication.

helps me by putting the app in front of me without having to search for a pill

I’ve used app several times and it has identified the ‘pill’ I searched for correctly every time. Thank you very much!!
