Excellent app. $1 is cheap for what this app does. Don’t useable picture but it does ask you what is written in the pill!

Disappointing. Downloaded to help my husband identify medications that had changed manufacturers and changed the pills appearance. Do not recommend this app. Deleted.

Finding your way. There is little sense in finding your way through this ap. Searching for pills works fine. But….trying to get to the record of your prescription is frustrating. The help section is also of little help.

Very useful app. Lots of info to identify drugs and usage.

It does what it says - finds pills by marking. 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.

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

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

Enjoy this useful app. I am a busy physician, and must identify pills my patients bring in, as well as other identification tasks. I have found this program to be very useful. I haven't discovered any particular bugs yet, although one time I did look for a pill that it couldn't find. I believe another online data base yielded a solution. Dr. J. Benson

Pointless. Obvious clone of that safari feature where u can turn the webpage into an app shortcut and for a dollar? Reminds me of an ugly fat girl getting mad at you for not being 6'5 rich and a genius while not a nerd

Useless for some situations. 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.

Not what I expected. 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.

Bad app. This app is terrible. No way to put in 2 tone pill. When I put in the # on the pill it comes bsck mo match.

Ads in a paid app since update👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾 REFUND ASAP. 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.

Best app for looking up/Info of meds!!!!. I've got to say this is the best application for looking up on medications in general it's Great on giving you information on all meds!!! Maybe you found a pill and you don't know what it is type in the numbers and letters and whatnot and it will tell you what exactly that pill is. or the medications you are currently taking great on giving you information on what generic manufacturers are making your medications so if you have issues with taking certain generics like I do it's a great application to have to give you information on generally everything about medications it's a must-have app if you are taking any medication it will give you all the information you need interactions with the Meds, FDA information, Classification of the medication and so on.

Review. I just paid .99 for this app. I tried 4 generic drugs and all of my searches turned up nothing found. I did find the information I needed on a free app. Do not waste your time with this app.

I can't find what I'm looking for. I paid for this?. If I pay for a pill identifier app I expect to be able to tell the app everything about the pill to get the results needed. Asking about shape and color doesn't let you find it. You don't ask for an imprint so how do you know what it is? Popular searches doesn't help. Maybe the pill I'm looking for isn't popular. I'm going to keep the app hoping you will fix this since I paid money for it.

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

Use This App. Di_Pinky is correct. 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!!

Poor search little database don’t buy!. I searched for a well known drug called Kenzoflex and no results showed up! It’s basically Ciproflacin a well known anti biotic.

Easy to Use. The app is pretty handy because I work at a doctor's clinic and the interface is easy to use. At least in identifying the medicine. The reason I'm docking the 2 stars is because of the ads in the information section. It's a paid app, so I don't like having to see ads. Plus the information section loads oddly and looks like the website loading in Safari in which case I could've skipped buying this app and just run a search on Google instead.

Didn’t find my pill. Tried pink, peach and the number 20 with no other markings, nada.

Awesomeness! Helps with my Mammaw!. 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.

The Best Drug Reference For The Average Person. Sometimes when I get a prescription from a doctor, I'm curious about brand-name versus generic. Or, I wonder why I'm getting this drug and not another, similar drug. The pill finder by color and description is exceptionally easy-to-use. The reference text is written in easy-to-understand, plain language. Having Pill Finder is like having my own in-house pharmacist who can answer all of my questions. I highly recommend this application for anyone who wants to know more about their medications but doesn't have the time to go to pharmacy college.

Excellent for medical field or anyone!!!!. This app is great. I use it all the time at home and at work. Sometimes at work we will find pills in the floor bed etc. and with this app we can tell what they are so we know what the pt didn't take dropped hid or whatever. When I find meds at home I know what they are what they are for etc. ALSO.......a friend of mine found some meds in her teenagers room and was able to find what they were. Obviously it wasn't good but at least she found out her kid was taking drugs before it was too late!!! Get this app it is the best!!!

A must have for medical professionals. I was volunteering in a clinic on a remote island in Honduras, and patients would come in with baggies of pills they were taking. Thank god I had downloaded this app to my phone before I lost WiFi. It was invaluable for identifying and finding pills that people would describe. The images are great! Find pills by color, shape, imprint, score or image!

Rip Off. This app is not worth .99 when there are Better sites that you can search for free. It should Allow you to scan the pill especially for those with poor eye sight

What a waste!. 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

Valuable resource. Wish my daughter had used it. She had to be hospitalized after putting new meds in an old bottle for traveling. Didn’t pay attention and took wrong dosage. Had she paid more attention to the markings on the pills she would have maybe not made the mistake. Maybe.

OMG What I help this has been!!. 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????

Totally Trust-Worthy. 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!

Saved a life. My mother-in-law received her pain medication from pharmacy, after she took two tablets, she told me that the medicine was a different color. I looked the medicine up on pill identifier instead of being 5 mg it was 30. Contacted her doctor and poison control, they told me what to do because of the sever affect on her stomach she threw up and we kept her awake until it was safe to let her go to sleep.

I paid for this app and it’s not even working on ipad😑. App opens and there is only getstarted button and it does nothing!!

Didn’t identify Losartan. Did not identify pill didn’t even have it in database and I searched for it.

Found nothing. Just downloaded your app tonight. Do I have to set something up in settings in order for this to work? I found this pill on another app I have but it didn’t give the dose of the pill. THIS app found NOTHING!! Very disappointed so far

Pill not found. Could not find the pill I described. Wish I knew its identity.

Pill Identifier. Kit D Kat 100. 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

Incomplete database.. Unable to identify a pill obtained in US with an identifying number on it.

Physician Rating. Almost useless when logo is sole identifier and color choices are far too limited. No photo capability. I do not recommend this app. Dr Richard Hilburn. Goals of Care, PLLC

Helpful @ hospital. My father was having a procedure 3 days ago and he was having to give a list of his meds before the procedure. He didn't have his list so he was going from memory. He gave them a name of a prostate med and wasn't sure of the spelling or the pronunciation. The nurse put it in their computer & nothing came up. I put it in this app and it pulled right up. We went and showed it to the nurse and she was able to pull it up on her computer. Aside from being scared that we could find it and the hospital couldn't, we were impressed with the app. Thank you!

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

Iphone X issue. 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?

Incredibly Easy Quick Access To Use !. As an EMT know Pharmacology is important and necessary to know immediately… If not in my memory the app. help me identify medications FAST AND QUICK! The other features like seeing a pic. of the medication(s) helps not only identify the medication(s) but the dosages those medication(s) are. Side Effects, Contraindications, Brand/Generic Names including much more. Job well done developers …

Not able to identify pill. I just received an rx that is imprinted 189, round pink pill (medium pink) by Rising pharm . This is the first time my rx for bupropion xl 300 has been pink, wanted to double check if it’s the correct med. this medium pink pill is not in your database , does not appear to be updated

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

Website is far superior to the app. Not sure why I thought paying for the app would be more convenient but it definitely isn’t. The filters for shape and color disappear when you type in an imprint, and the search results are just the names, rather than the photos like it displays on the site. Pointless.

Pill Identifier Works Near To Perfect!. 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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great but cold use.... I really like this app. I like having all the info at my fingertips and with flash cards or small note books you can't have all the info you really need in your pocket, until NOW! There is, however, one thing I would love to add. A way to "favorite" or create a file that has the ability to link to your favorite or most used meds. But great app! Tank you!

Very informative. Great app saves lots of time waiting to get to a laptop or tablet with this app all your info you need is right on your smart phone about the drug and the pictures so helpful. I told a pharmacy HEY you gave me the wrong strength alprazolam they should be white not peach and the markings are wrong...she said OMG ...THEN how did you know that you just walked out the door a minute ago. I showed her this App!

Accurate. 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.

Doesn’t Include Thai Meds. Maybe it works for the western world, but I had zero luck identifying common medications in Thailand.

Drugs. Ya,ya,this is the bomb...I only do pills that I know the thrills....

Kinda useless. Not too practical. If you enter, for example, blue and oval, you get a simple list of dozens of meds. You then have to "tap" each one to see the picture to find out if that's yours.

Money Spent For Zero Useful Information. I had to look up some pills my doctor was discontinuing. There was absolutely no results information that applied to 5 pills.

Great! Worth a look! 😳. I use it all the time for checking drug information after picking up my RX's from the pharmacy. A few useful features but mostly for looking up one drugs information.

Works. This app has been able to identify every pill I have acquired so far. No complaints.

Great app. I am an Assistant Principal at a high school and am able to use the app when we find a student who has made a poor choice a brought drugs to school. Great tool for me.

Pill identifier. I love this app!! What I've found most helpful is u can type in a list of the medications u r taking and it will tell u how they interact and what side effects to look for

The Pill ID.. Now that I have to take medication for the rest of my life I want to know what I'm takin and what side affects it has. The to this app I'm happy to have this at my finger tipsThanks a lot it really helps me.

Extremely Useful. 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.

Worth itt. Quick and easy ! Will get you results and has links to more info

Excellent tool!. Pharmacy technician just entering pharmacy school this year and I must say that this app has come in handy plenty of times! Does exactly as it says and is well designed. Totally with it!

review from jail officer point of view. I love this app. I use this app almost daily on my job trying to figure out what meds the people that are being booked into our facility are on

Outstanding App. I find this app very helpful. I have a lot of medications to take for our whole family and several look alike. This app helped me when I got the pills mixed up. No worries with the shape, color and imprint information was a real pleasure in sorting out the pills. Well done!

IT JUST WORKS & WORKS WELL!. Great app! Never confuse your medications again. Always be positive that your pills, are your pills! I've even entered pills that I've found & it's never failed to tell me what was what! An app with a wealth of knowledge, especially if your pharmacy keeps using different generics for your prescriptions.

Great app. Have successfully used it many times in the past 2 months. Would recommend it.

Seems to be a very helpful app, but.... 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.

Great app but paying for a lite?. I downloaded this app for free before but when I went to show it to someone they charge 0.99 for the lite version now... Um ... Why when it's a lite version I can't try it before I buy it anymore.

The best "PILL" to stay on track with my medication. 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.

Great information. It's wonderful because it has so much more information than the website, yet it's all in the app. This is a must buy!

Very Useful. 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!!

Awesome Resource. I love this app! It is so helpful in looking up information about any medicine that you may have misplaced the bottle or the label has gotten hard to read. It is simple and easy to use! Great app!!

Very nice. Tells me everything I need to know when I'm going to buy my drugs from my dealer. Gotta make sure that dude don't screw me over.

Mrs. Luzcelenia. This app works like a charm, I am now well informed before taking any medication. I am so grateful for all the insight I am getting through this pill identifier. Thank you so much for it's availability to the public.

Very helpful!. The app was very clear and helpful, and helped me easily identify various pills, and also have a few sentences of background information. Very well done!

Very Handy. This is a very useful app. I especially like the drug info and reviews. It's helpful to read about new meds that my doctor gives me so I know what to expect.

It works!!. I've used this app to find a couple different meds from just the imprint and so far I've had no problems.

Ads in a paid app?. The app has annoying ads at the bottom of the screen even though it's a paid version, AND it requires an internet connection to work because it links to it's online DB. The app did work for me, found the pills I looked up, but I would never have paid for it if I knew it had ads in it.

Very useful app. Handy when you are taking generic meds that might not look the same when refilled because they come from different vendors.

Best app to have. My job we find pills laying on the ground and when that happens we have to write reports and the chart we have to go off of is not up to date and this app will find anything u need and easy to use

Awesome , user friendly app!. 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!

Mystery pills no more!. I'm constantly eating random pills off of the ground. With this app, I no longer have to wonder what sort of unknown effects I will encounter. I will sleep easy tonight knowing this is a sleeping pill and not a laxative.

Works perfectly. I would highly recommend this app. Has flawlessly been able to identify everything I've thrown at it.

Pill Identify. Thank you, thank you for this app! I take many meds & cant carry them all in their bottles. I know them but my family can't always ID them in med box. Also an awesome tool for helping elderly family members taking meds.

Great app, well worth the money.. I have used this program on the website a thousand times & it hasn't steered me wrong yet. I never pay for apps, but I love this one! Easy to use, no quirks or problems, and well worth the money. Highly recommended.

Great app. This has been the best app, compared to having my FAT pill book!, that I've ever used. I take many different medications because of head injuries, & this app has been a great guide of knowledge. Thank you

The pill identifier app has really helped me in tons of ways. First off it helps me to make sure that whenever the Dr. Mght give u a new prescription & it's not tht we don't trust our DR. But its just tht sumtimes in our lives we have so much going on tht yes we may get a Lil wirruyffvdhnbvnfrfduf

Very usefull. 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.

Pill identifier. Love this app, especially with all the generics being given. Agree with reviewer no.1 about having brand names,as well as scientific description. Otherwise, a very useful app.

Worth the money. App is worth the money for sure. Website does everything that app does and it's free but app is a lot faster and a little more user friendly

Overdosed!!!. This use to be a great app that helped identify any pill with minimal info. It would identify fast & accurate...until (unfortunately!) so many updates obviously caused your app to OVERDOSED!! The minute you try to pull it up it crashes!! Over & over!! Obvious overdose of updates!! To bad cuz it was a good app. Gone from a 5 star to really 0 not even 1, cuz U can't use at all!!!

WONDERFUL APP. 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.

Great App. I usually use Epocrates to identify meds. However, I had a problem looking up an OTC med. I used this app and had no problem finding my answer. I am very pleased with my purchase. I love Epocrates but for OTC meds, I definitely recommend this app.

Worth every cent ( all 99 of them). Better than WebMD. Id's pills fast and sure. Great when you get a new generic for a drug you've been taking. A must if you are on a number of pills.

Pill Identifier A+++. Great informational app! Really good for students studying there medications and for Doctors/patients! U know what you are handling as well as what you are taking! Once again very good app and very handy! No need to use Internet/google/etc!! Great job to the developer/developers!!!

Pill identifier. Excellent app. Lots of information beyond identity. I strongly recon end this app if you take a lot of medication. It's a must have. Much easier to navigate than Walgreens.

A MUST for any healthcare professional!. I am a Registered Nurse working in acute care settings/ICU. I use this app weekly, if not daily. For certain I pull it up at least once a shift. I love it! And... It's accurate. Fully recommend -- a "must have" for any RN.

Pill identifier. I am an RN by trade and with all the new medication that is being produced its hard to keep track. This pill identifier is such a handy app to have, look up medication , and to see if there is any counter actions with other medication. Love this app , very helpful. Thank you Frank Del Valle RN BSN

Unable to find a med. 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

Handy LE tool. 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.

Good & handy app. My husband takes about 30 different medications & I take about 6. His meds are changed and adjusted sometimes as well. This app is very helpful and works great. Thank you for making such a useful free app. Good job!!!

Very good 👍. great interface and easy to use. was a little perturbed that the previous version had ads but that was removed. overall very well done and i would recommend this

Living better thru modern medicine. I personally have found Pill ID to be truly helpful in providing important valuable info on many of the medications I take. Thanks so much for being here for people.

This is the best pill identifier app. I've ever used!. I will recommend it to everyone I know. It is so difficult to keep up with all the changes in medications today, ESP with the generic as well as brand names. Thank you very much for great information. I give it 5 stars!
