Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Just downloaded the app so I have only browsed through it, I haven't had to really look up a med while at work yet. It seems though you can only look up meds by their generic name and not their trade name which is disappointing. Once you find the drug under its generic name and open it up the trade name is displayed. I sometimes don't remember the generic name or only know the med by its trade name. It would be nice to be able to look up meds by both names.
