WebMD Customer Insights

1. I just expected something completely differentCan't see more information about my results because it is just an advertisement for the symptom checker for which I am trying to see the results from! What, you want me to do it twice?!Fast and simple medical facts foru understanding medical terms and conditions.

2. I'd rather have an app that does one thing well than a bunch of things poorly.What happened during the last update, now I can't look at the possible conditions to see what could be wrong, instead it comes up with an ad for WebMD and I have to start again via the browser.I have to say I was really disappointed I expected a much more personalized user-friendly app.

3. The check marks should remain prominent and obvious at a glance.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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. The second star was lost due to not being able to list all of my meds and conditions.

7. Highly recommend this app.Great app for getting an idea about medical conditions you may be experiencing.

8. So I cannot get a full read on many features.I miss the old symptom checker interface.

9. For example, what is up with the redesigned medication reminder? The check marks require a magnifying glass to see.

10. Might work for some people, but I prefer the visual aspect of that selection method.

11. 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.
