★★★★★
Easy to use app. Great prices. Picked up my meds at my pharmacy — much cheaper than insurance.
★★★★★
I had no idea that different pharmacy charges different prices for medication. I thought that, the prices for prescriptions were the same no matter where I get it. But Hippo opened my eyes to the fact that I have options and can choose the pharmacy with the lowest price. This is a game changer for me & just keep it up!
★★★★★
Great service and user friendly app! Saved me $56 on one prescription. Everyone should use it.
★★☆☆☆
It was great at first. You could login to your account and pay for your prescriptions with a stored credit card. Apparently, now they removed that option. Their support articles are useless since it refers to the way Hippo was before they screwed up the service. Now, the app is awful! There is nowhere to login to see your history, update your credit card, address, etc. I have been getting emails telling me to update my credit card due to it expiring. But guess what YOU CAN'T! I have other people pick up my medications do to a disability. Now, I have no way to pay for it ahead of time. BLINK HEALTH allows you to pay online ahead of time. I am going back to them. At least they know what they are doing. Hello Hippo is clueless. Why would you screw up a good thing? Not every one has the ability to pick up their prescriptions.
★★☆☆☆
I work at a retail pharmacy, all the prescriptions I checked were way over
what we charge. Please call your local pharmacy before relying on this app!!

We lost our prescription co pays a few months ago... Was paying $30 a
month... Found hippo and they had the same medicine for $34 in March ..was
excited... Next month jumped to $114.....in May jumped to $177....now it's
$277... Extremely expensive.. If in mass use the free mass health card..
While still expensive $100 less or more a month over hippo...
★★☆☆☆
It does save money on rxs. That's the good part. The bad? Sometimes they notify the pharmacy, sometimes they don't. Sometimes after ive already picked up the rx, I get notifications about problems with the order. And the worst? Today I filled a rx with the app, and after the transaction was complete, they (hippo) decided i wanted another order and i wanted it billed to my bank account. Most likely this Will result is an nsf fee for me. So they just charged my card without my permission at all. Waiting to see if my bank wants to hit me with a fee or not. Not using this app again. Bad business practice.
