GoodRx Drug Prices and Coupons for Android

GoodRx is a slightly unattractive but powerful application that quickly and accurately finds inexpensive drugs in local and online pharmacies. Its plain layout and reliable search performance make GoodRx a decent choice for those who want to comparison shop for their prescription drugs.

Pros

Easy operation: GoodRx is quite simplistic and outdated in its design, but we believe this makes using the application much more approachable. You will intuitively find and use all features because of the basic layout.

Helpful service: A predictive search tool instantly lists drug names with each letter typed, and we found it worked well even when names were misspelled. Results also give you the option to choose between brand name and generic medicines as well as coupons that help you locate the lowest priced drugs.

Accurate results: We compared the listed prices on GoodRx with a Web search on a variety of other retailers; prices generally matched other listings but occasionally were off by a few cents.

Cons

Obscure support: GoodRx's uncomplicated design has its faults when it comes to finding support. We had to click on several menu options in order to locate an FAQ section.

Bottom Line

GoodRx fulfills its main goal of providing fast and accurate information on drug prices. Its plain design supports its purpose and, even though the Help section was buried, most won't need it when using the app.

Apps are like kittens - just when you think all is well, one of those little fur balls runs off into a corner and completely misses the litter box. Think of this latest update like moving the virtual litter box - we're trying to just keep things nice and tidy around the house to avoid any accidents. There's not much to see from the outside, but the app should be a bit more reliable and cuddly (meow).
