Ratings and reviews

I've had this app on my phones for over 8yrs, and it has slowly become less and less useful. WebMD no longer allows for any of its actual articles to be shared or saved. The kindergarten article layout of swiping (1 thru 10) has become annoying and juvenile. It appears there's nobody at home to take an interest in updating this platform. Bye bye WebMD!

I add my symptoms, past medical conditions, and medications, but when i get to possible conditions, the screen is blank. I've tried it at home, sitting in a Dr's office and just sitting around in town. Nothing changes the results, I just have a blank screen. I used to love this app during the rare instances I used it. With the "new" symptom checker being useless, the app is a waste of space and has been deleted.

The UI is not user friendly at all. 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. For example, what is up with the redesigned medication reminder? The check marks require a magnifying glass to see. Could they be any smaller? What a ludicrously stupid design choice. The check marks should remain prominent and obvious at a glance.
