Review summary

Users find the app useful for quickly identifying pills and appreciate its detailed drug information and easy-to-use interface. However, many criticize the app's poor camera functionality and frequent intrusive ads that interrupt or block usage. Pill identification often fails, and navigation glitches reduce the overall user experience. While helpful for medical students and safety at home with children and pets, the predominant negative feedback concerns ads and identification reliability.

Pros

Easy to use and provides quick pill identification using the camera.
Good resource for medical students and healthcare-related individuals.
Contains detailed information about pills including side effects and interactions.
User interface is intuitive and graphics are clear and easy to understand.
Helpful tool for safety when dealing with unknown pills around pets and children.

Cons

Frequent and intrusive advertisements disrupt user experience, with some ads needing to be watched before results are shown.
Camera functionality is poor: difficulty taking clear photos, lack of zoom, inability to turn on camera light, and poor identification accuracy.
App often fails to identify pills correctly or at all, including failure to provide matches based on imprint, color, and shape.
Navigation issues: inability to go back, app crashes or gets stuck in loops, causing frustration.
Ads sometimes redirect users to unrelated apps or games, and the app may force installation before use.

2024-09-25	Wi*****	Not only did it not identify the medication, I was treated to an extremely loud and obnoxious advertisement that completely disrupted what I was doing, the ad was also excessively long, about gambling. Responses to other reviews mentions buying the pro version, meaning they're okay with showing shady advertising.

2024-03-12	Li*****	First experience was a failure. I scanned a pill and attempted to search with your APP. Didn't work. Camera in APP needs to be able to zoom, rescan, and also turn on Camera's light while taking Picture, Should also be able to trigger cameras rescan to clerify, as if to dark can't see what's looking at. Finally found pill but your listing show it in sorta Eggshell, or darker color. My pill is same but White.

2023-12-06	Da*****	Camera app is useless, I took very clear photos of five different prescription medications and it could not identify a single one. It only gave me suggestions for two of them and one of those two was an oblong capsule and it gave me like five different results for round tablets that weren't even close to the right medication. And if it wasn't bad enough that it doesn't work properly, you have to watch an ad every time you want to identify a pill. Must be friends and family fake reviews
