SigmaPhone Launches IPharmacy V3.2

Online, January 13, 2011 (Newswire.com) - SigmaPhone updates iPharmacy-The Drug and Medication Guide on a regular basis with each update adding more value and improvements. In the previous two updates, SigmaPhone expanded its drug database and introduced a pre-activated prescription discount card. The company expanded its drug database in November 2010, increasing its FDA drug database from 7,000 to over 10,000 drug profiles, a 43% increase. With over 10,000 FDA drug profiles, iPharmacy provides more drug profiles than its competition. Because of its large database of drug profiles, it is an essential tool for healthcare professionals and students.

In December of 2010, SigmaPhone in partnership with Honest Discount made available a pre-activated prescription discount card for its app users. The card offers iPharmacy app users savings of up to 75% off the original price on their prescription at most U.S. pharmacies. The discount card is extremely valuable for the uninsureds or under-insureds.

Most of iPharmacy's updates have been a result of app users' inputs and feedback, and this new update is no different. Based on users' feedback and inputs, SigmaPhone has made a couple of improvements to the app's user interface, making it more user-friendly and providing better user experience. "We understand that the user experience of the app is the most important in addition to a comprehensive drug database, and we strive to provide the best user experience to our app users. Therefore, we listen to our users and find their inputs and feedback very valuable, helping us improve the product with every new update and release. We believe that is the key to iPharmacy's success," says SigmaPhone CTO, Dr. Shao.

iPharmacy-The Drug and Medication Guide is indeed a very successfully app. Since its launch in early 2010, it has garnered praises from the online and the offline community. It has been named the "best iPhone app for prescription reference." It has won an award in the Best Mobile App Competition. Finally, it has been named the "Best of the Year" in iTunes Rewind 2010, under the paid medical category.

The new version 3.2 of iPharmacy is now available on the Apple App Store. For more information, go to http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ipharmacy-the-drug-medication/id348702163?mt=8.
