WebMD's reputation is mixed, with customers acknowledging the site's extensive medical information and usefulness as a starting point for health inquiries. However, significant concerns arise regarding outdated provider information, unreliable marketing practices, and perceived biases towards pharmaceutical interests. Many users express frustration with customer service, citing unresponsive communication and a lack of follow-up, particularly in marketing and administrative contexts. While some appreciate the resource for its educational value, the overall sentiment reflects a demand for improved reliability and transparency in both service and content.

I'm so happy there is a web Md ap for kindle fire. It is very easy to use. You can log on with a pin which makes it easy. There isn't much you can do unless you are connected to the Internet.

I've always gone to this site for real facts I can count on. I am not a fan of the website format and layout changes though. Seems to be less user friendly, especially when I'm on my phone. I get these pop up ads that are hard to close out of. It can get annoying.

Noticed a number of people had trouble finding the app after downloading. I had the same problem but here's how to get it to work. Swipe down from the top of any screen to reveal the menu. Tap sync. Then go the the home page and select apps. Make sure you're on the Cloud.

WebMD used to be SO MUCH BETTER -- what happened?:-(
Every year this site gets closer and closer to being completely useless. I do think they can turn this around and fix things because they obviously have tons of information, but they need to really get somebody new to handle how they run their website. Many years ago this was the GO TO place for health information on the internet -- now it's... well, just about useless.
I hope they fix this soon.

Great for information and symptoms but runs very conventional in terms of advice - for legal reasons I'm sure - but it is a medical site and they aren't trained to think for themselves. It's all about the drugs.

I am not satisfied with the webmd.com site because they did not provide the quality pregnancy related information. My sister is pregnant so she do not know about the food at this pregnancy time so decided to ask the help from this site but they did not give useful information about the pregnancy.

Their quizzes often annoy me. Their answers are often wrong or at least debatable. They do not allow comments to refute their often misleading answers.

WebMD took $14 million from the Obama administration to push government run health care. They have no credibility. They are Marxist filth.
