WebMD: Symptom Checker

The articles, drug interaction and other utilities have been improved. This is a great tool to track and learn more about your medical needs. It would be nice if articles could be opened in a browser and bookmarked. Before 8/27/19 I have used with phone, tablet, and PC versions for several years. The phone app has improved to make it easier to find subject matter. Sometimes the linked content does not format well. Overall a good product.

The only reason this is 3 stars is because although this is an essential app for someone like me, if you hit the wrong button by mistake and it takes you out of Symptom Checker, for example, you lose everything that was just there even if you'd went back in there immediately. There's no way to receive back the symptoms you had entered. That had costed one star. The second star was lost due to not being able to list all of my meds and conditions. So I cannot get a full read on many features.

The UI is not user friendly at all. For a health application, one would think they would take into account poor vision, poor coordination, shaking hands, and other conditions where having small icons and buttons are a bad decision. For example, what is up with the redesigned medication reminder? The check marks require a magnifying glass to see. Could they be any smaller? What a ludicrously stupid design choice. The check marks should remain prominent and obvious at a glance.

This is useless if I can never log into my account with this app! Guess I won't ever sign into WebMD anymore. Using Samsung Galaxy smartphone by the way. Using the web does nothing as far as reminding me to take meds but you could use this app to remind you to take them, without having to sign in to a WebMD account.

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 can't open the app. 3/3 got it open. thank you.

LOVE ❤️ WebMD is an amazing app and website! I love everything about it. Please don’t leave negative feedback, this resource is truly helpful. I definitely recommend it to everyone!

I only need reminders for meds and supplements. This app only allows you to select pre-set brand name pharmaceuticals. Cannot add your own custom items (such as Cucurmin or Alpha-Lipoic Acid). Also, reminder notifications are not aggressive enough. People with cognitive issues such as Alzheimer's or ADHD will most likely fail to take their meds. The app needs to repeat popup reminders until the user acknowledges taking their scheduled dosage.

App will not let me login no matter what I try. It just keeps spinning and spinning, never loading.

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!

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.

Cannot enter symptom checker on Samsung Galaxy S23 anymore. You'll notice the "next" button is directly beneath the Samsung back button on screen. Not sure if it's a widespread mobile device issue or specific to Samsung but there's no way to adjust it and no way to move forward to check symptoms. The only option they give you now is a 'sign up and register option'. No thanks. Better off deleting this proverbial paperweight and saving some space for something useful.

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

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.

Works mostly as expected; although the medication reminder and tracking has trouble with basic math, which makes me question reliability on rest of the app. The medication tracking reliably shows I have taken 100% of my medicine since setting up the reminder; 100% for the month; but only 88% for the week, and each day shows taken. Strangely, 88% = 7/8 of a week; does this mean the app thinks a week has 8 days? And how can I be 100% for the month, yet not reach that level in the current week.

It's just been a useful app, and I have especially appreciated the allergy tracker. It's difficult to get good pollen count information, and this app provided it. However, a notice popped up today that they're dropping the allergy tracker from the app. So the app has lost almost all its value to me.

Wonr let me enter symptoms without registering, so attempted to register, app froze, closed and reopened, tried again to register, says my email is already registered, at about that time I receive an email entitled "Welcome to Web MD", but it only seems to be for a newsletter, opened app again to try and just login, but it gives me NO option to login, I can only register. Clicking the "Register/Sign in" button just brings me to the Registration screen. Completely useless scam to steal emails.

Too many emails a day, even after 'Unsubscribe', even after turning off all notifications in the app, still they flood your inbox. Unfortunately, unable to give zero stars. Do NOT download this app, even after many Unsubscribe requests, they fill your inbox with even more emails. Have reported to Google

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.
