Our new app is ready!

As we explained in our last blog entry, due to changes demanded by Apple, our app maker Digital Pharmacist has had to redesign the app to support the hundreds of pharmacies they service by combining all their clients into one app. We are pleased to announce that the app for both iPhone and Android is available for installation and performing well. Go to the AppStore or Google Play to download PocketRx.

On installation, PocketRx will ask you to enter your zip code. That will pull up the list showing all 3 of our locations. Pick the location you wish to use (you can choose another location when you submit your refills if you want) and then enter your personal info and the 'script # and name. If you used our previous app, you should have no problem with PocketRx.

Here's a great highlight of the new PocketRx app:
You can set up as many profiles in the app as you wish - this is a very handy way to keep 'scripts for yourself, your spouse, your children, and any others you that you are responsible for the care of. Every profile can hold as many individual 'script numbers as you care to enter.
This is a particularly helpful for caregivers with multiple patients in multiple locations. Each patient can have their own profile with different options for pickup or delivery to each of their  You can set up addresses in the app settings.

In our testing of the new app, we have been notified of each new submission by fax in less than 30 seconds after pressing the "submit" button. Don't forget to set up an email address in the app if you would like an email confirmation of your submission.

As always, if you have any questions with installation or operation of the app, please call us. 

Changes are coming for our app users

Apple (makers of your iPhones & iPads) has modified a policy that impacts thousand of small businesses that offer mobile apps. As a result, our app makers have had to develop a new app for independent pharmacies. This policy change has also resulted in a new app for our Android & iPhone users. Beginning February 15th, Digital Pharmacist Inc. will begin emailing users of our app for both iPhone & Android advising you that we are moving to the new and improved app called PocketRx.

  Also beginning on February 15th, upon start-up of your pre-existing app ("Michelle's Pharmacy Illinois"), a page will display to inform you that you must download PocketRx - a link will be provided to make it easy for you to get the new app.

The PocketRx app will not be fully functional until February 15, but you can get a taste of it if you want to download it early. Don't delete "Michelle's Pharmacy Illinois" yet...you can add PocketRx to your phone, but it won't be useful until February 15th. We'll post updates here on our blog as we get closer to the change. The whole process should be fairly easy, but call us if you have any problems.
