Great app for getting an idea about medical conditions you may be experiencing. What happened to the visual selection? The one with the picture of the human? I'd much rather select a body part than type and scroll through a list of words. Might work for some people, but I prefer the visual aspect of that selection method. Please bring it back... Just as an additional option. Why take it out?
I miss the old symptom checker interface. I mostly used this app to help figure out the vocabulary of the parts involved with my symptoms but now I don't have a place to start. I also do not like all the added features, I have separate apps for those and it's creating clutter on my device. I'd rather have an app that does one thing well than a bunch of things poorly.
It good for the phone and Google did something to help people with a better life and lot of work in the website that people change and they will talk to the people who do the research and put a lot of heart into helping people with their own life to matter and hope the high school students in country can ask the teachers to hire them a nutrition teacher every other day in gym exercise day taught nutrition is important especial to women
It doesn't have alot of medicines and I am surprised the multiple sclerosis is not in health problems.
This app is terrible for people who have multiple symptoms or diagnosis. It doesn't save any of your information after you put it in, and I've tried over 10 times! I have multiple symptoms, and have seen multiple doctors(for over 15yrs) I just wanted a general idea. Doesn't save any of your information, no matter how many times you put it in. If it does save any, it doesn't give you any possible results. The online version is just as bad! The website, you can't put in over 30 details!
I do like this app because I also went to the website on my computer. I do wish that they would bring back the old symptom checker rather than the new one cuz I do not like the new interface with it it's a lot harder to navigate than when you could just click on the body parts and then click on the subcategories and go from there
this app used to be great. It would give you an avatar to select the affected areas, and a very extensive list of symptoms. It would then have follow up questions about the symptoms you chose. Now you must enter it all manually, and there are no follow up questions. In my opinion, this used to the best symptom checker available, but now it's just garbage.
I love having this app at my disposal. I dont use it often, fortunately Im pretty educates in medicine, but its great to have an immediate answer, research, education, facts, articles, even someonw live to assiat you! Plus the notifications are great! They constantly keep you in the medical loop with the latest news, explorations, diagnostics, current events with certain crisis' or even tips on how to stay healthier. I wish they had this when I was a child but its here now!
I have found that searching for certain terms, such as "dementia", will get no hits inside the app but will get plenty of hits on the WebMD website. I would say that about one-third of the time when I search for a condition or anasic keyword that obviously should get results, I get no results at all. So it would appear that the app does not have access to all of the content found on the Web MD website. To me, this means there is really no point in using the app.
Makes sickness super easy to deal with without going to the doctor
When entering a birth year, it appears that "sticky keys" are set as each year has to be entered as opposed to scrolling through the years. This is highly annoying, almost enough to make one give up.
Used to be a really great resource, in perfect working order. Theyve since updated the symptom checker, which is now extremely frustrating to use and is very disfunctional. Should have left it the way it was. No longer happy with how this app works.
Among the worst apps I've tried. Home page looks like ad flyer. To put in Mom's birthday, I was forced to use calendar (5+ minutes to scroll back to 1930). It let me search 2 meds to add to her profile. Once set, I found no way to add, edit, or remove a scrip.
I used to like the WebMD app before its main screen changed so drastically. It's confusing and not as helpful. Those junk news articles belong in a subcategory, not on the main screen. Not impressed. Please change it back to the old one.
The old online symptom checker would let you select an area on the body where you had pain. If only the app did, too. This app makes you type in what specific organ/part is causing pain. Well... I don't know specifically where it's coming from. The list they had to choose from didn't seem to apply, anyway. The old online format would then ask additional questions to narrow results down. This app only asked me one question that didn't really get me anywhere.
I'm getting really sick of this app. I go to post it important messages from the coronavirus for example, it posts two posts so of course, I delete one which apparently delete both and then I can't find what you sent me in the first place! If you can't do something right don't do it at all!
Worrying Advert & Privacy Policy. Says company will share private details with advertiser to deliver targeted ads. Opt out links lead to error pages. Dedicated opt out app opens in page which looks like Play Store but is not. Clicking button on that page, labelled "Open in Play Store app", leads to page does not exist error. Uninstalled as appears invasive. Will use website instead. Website provides an excellent service, useful information and advice including evidence for and against treatments
I really like this app. Keeps me informed about meds I might switch to or others I might need to take with the ones I am on now. Always like reading the post too. FYI to anyone who is reading this and who made WebMD. I tried to open it and it kept rejecting me. I uninstalled and reinstalled and worked. So if having any problems try it. It's like the last update didn't fully install or install right. Hope that helps someone.
After install it states it cannot connect to the internet. All my other apps connect to the internet just fine. Had to uninstall until they fix the app. Other than that it was ver informative when it did work.
I downloaded this app on my iPhone when I found out I was pregnant with twins. The app now that I've changed phones, it doesn't even show me what my babies are both doing this week and not even telling me what changes are happening to my own body. I'll give 5 stars as soon as I have as many options as the iPhone does. Even signing in didn't help. Pls fix this and I'll gladly give 5 stars. Don't recommend to download if you're android or switching from iPhone to android.
I liked the app better when u pick from a body. It was much easier and description of symptoms were better to find. Now all symptoms are urgent and they are not and description for certain systems aren't there. No help.
Why is level 4 "moderate", and level 3 "high" on the allergy level tracker, when the higher number means higher allergy levels? This is a glitch.
