Version 7.0.1330 August 2022We updated the GoodRx app. We do that quite often these days, because we know getting access to affordable prescriptions and care is super-important to you. The better the app, the greater the chance we can help you stay healthy. Thanks for being a part of the GoodRx family..
Version 7.0.227 June 2022The developers are cranking away, but I’ve been too busy following the Kanye/Pete drama to get much done. Turns out while I was scrolling through my feed, they did a thing!
As a sentient human being, you must know that millions of people use GoodRx. Apparently when you gather the power of millions, you can score even lower prices.
Our magic new tech lowers the price for the first fill of a whole bunch of medications. It’s a very complex operation involving large numbers of ball bearings, but the net result is an even lower price at the pharmacy counter. Nifty, eh?
Other than lower prices, it’s good to see folks (and their dogs! Sheesh - so many dogs!) back in the office. We’re partying like it’s 2019 over here!

Version 6.0.8801 March 2022Oh, do I have big one for you this time around. OMG. So excited it's hard to focus. Huge.
No no - we didn't fix any bugs (sheesh, SO presumptuous). Did we improve performance? Well, I nailed my Lord Of The Dance juggling routine at the company picnic - does that count? Instead, we updated our logo. Now, instead of a black "Rx" on a yellow background, it's a yellow cross on a white background with a - wait for it! - sorta hidden heart jumping out of it. Because we have heart. And we're in healthcare. I know, very abstract. So many levels.
Other options we (well, I) considered: a bloody needle as a metaphor for a broken healthcare system (rejected), an apple (apparently some other company has it too?), and a panda (rejected as "too cute", which was exactly the point).
Now I know you'll want to immediately go out and get a full-back tattoo of our new logo to hide that regretted Nickelback album cover, but the lawyers say we can't technically encourage it since it's, well, ours. But if you won't tell, I won't…

Version 6.0.7721 December 2021Update time, everyone! Not wanting to miss out on every latest trend, we’ve now launched GoodRx on the Web3 metaverse. Now, we’re helping you save on virtual prescriptions as well as real ones. I think. Not really sure what Web3 or the metaverse are, actually.
Outside of the metaverse (or maybe not - how can you ever truly know, Neo?), we launched a snazzy referral program that pays not just you, but your ‘referee’ (‘refereree’?) too when you use GoodRx to save. You get $5, they get $5, everybody gets $5.
OK, that is not true. Everybody does not get $5. It just sounded good. Calm down, lawyers. If YOU want to give everyone $5, you can, but that’s on you, man.
Happy holidays from GoodRx. In all seriousness, we wish you a happy, healthy 2022 and we appreciate your support (tolerance?) of us and our silly updates.

Version 6.0.6803 November 2021I’ve never been a big dashboard person, but maybe that’s just me. Hula dancers, smiling buddhas and solar-powered Groots belong on a ’78 Turbo Hydra-Matic 350 Camaro, not a 2012 entry-level Prius. The only bumper sticker I’ve ever had lets me use the carpool lane.
See, I value practicality and functionality. And if you’re the kind of person who regularly reads app notes, you’re my kind of person. Yay us!
With that in mind, I’ve got exclusive, breaking news. Sorry, BREAKING NEWS (CAPS = so much more effective). Now, when you log in as a Gold user, you’ll automagically see the prescriptions you’ve purchased and the bazillions you’ve saved using GoodRx. Can’t remember how to spell stigplanstarztan? We got you. Wanna see how much you saved on Humuhumunukunukuapua? (Ok, that’s actually a fish). It’s all there.
Disclaimer: Dashboard does not have fuzzy dice or pine-scented air fresheners - yet. Our bad.

Version 6.0.5330 August 2021Let’s be honest. Those other guys don’t really put much effort into their app updates. Squashed bugs? Improved performance? Yawn. I always imagine coming home to my boo, where she’d say “What’d you do today, honey?” And I say “I squashed some bugs and improved performance.” Whereupon she’d immediately return to her Below Deck marathon, wondering why she ever let me have the sock drawer. You gotta SELL, people.
Simply put, our updates are better than their updates. Where they improve performance, we howl like a pack of coyotes who just took out a fluffy jackrabbit. Where they squash bugs, we fire proton torpedoes into tiny little exhaust ports. We do what they do, only better.
I’m not at liberty to reveal the contents of this update to you quite yet. It’s hush-hush. On the down low, need-to-know basis kind of stuff. Honestly, I don’t actually know what they actually did, and it’s not out of the realm of possibility that the developers just wanted me to go away. I’m hoping for a humanoid robot that can drive my self-driving car. So meta. Stay tuned.

Version 6.0.4307 July 2021Regular readers of our updates will know one thing - the person that writes these masterful works of modern literature is actually quite lazy. I mean, sure, I could go ask the devs and product folks about our latest innovations, but I could also, well, donut. (See, I couldn’t even finish that sentence.)
So, I am 84% confident that I was the inspiration behind our latest feature - auto-refill. Now, GoodRx Gold peeps who sign up for our super-slick Home Delivery service can have prescription refills show up without having to do, well…anything. Stay on that couch. Rock those sweatpants. Hit the snooze button. We got it covered.
So, there you go. Just sign up and stuff shows up. Oh, that’s good. Maybe that should be our new slogan? But eh, the marketing guys are like 6 desks away and, well, donut.

Version 6.0.3126 April 2021Dear person who reads app updates:
You are our favorite person. Your curiosity, attention to detail, and lack of better things to do are truly admirable. We believe in you, and we feel it’s our duty to provide detailed updates of recent code changes. Or just make random stuff up to make your day 3% less boring.
For the 6 of you still with us, here’s some highlights of the new special sauce has been added to your favorite yellow-themed app (move over, Hertz!):
*New Gold Dashboard*. So shiny! Those of you lucky enough to be GoodRx Gold members have an ultra-fancy Home Screen that makes it easier to save on prescriptions, manage delivery orders, track savings and more. Plus, it’s 64% less ugly. Check it out.
*More Brand Savings* Wanna see some real magic? How about taking a $500 drug and making it $10? Aw, snap. We’ve gathered thousands of mega-discounts for super-expensive drugs and we’re sticking them right in the app. You’re speechless, I know.
*Bug fixes and performance improvements* (Heh. One day, I’m gonna say that to my friend when he asks me what I’m up to. I actually have no idea if we fixed bugs or improved performance.)
So that’s what we got. In all seriousness, we hope you’re safe and healthy. Thanks for your support. Send bugs, tips or proof of alien life to [email protected]..
Version 6.0.2001 March 2021Please tell me you’ve seen Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory, the classic kid’s movie from 1971. It’s far better than Bridgerton or gambling your savings on Robinhood. (It’s also far superior to the 2005 Johnny Depp / Tim Burton remake. Gene Wilder FTW.) It holds up, even 50(!) years later.
My favorite scene was when Wonka demonstrates Wonkavision, a new way to transport physical stuff (read: chocolate bars) via television. Unfortunately, Wonkavision was an early alpha, and the obnoxious Mike Teavee was accidentally shrunk to the size of a fingernail. Oops. Kids.
A few months back, after downing a rather large pint of almond roca and then not feeling particularly wonkalicious, we told our engineers “Clearly, a half-century later, it’s Wonkavision time.” Their Zoom connections then oddly disconnected. But there’s no way this world can have the Squatty Potty and not have figured out magically moving stuff between places. So we kindly begged our team to build Wonkavision For Healthcare (WFH) (TM).
I was hoping for tiny little doctors to show up in your house whenever you needed them. And…I kinda got what I wanted. We just launched telehealth, a fancy industry term for…tiny doctors and medical professionals that magically appear (well, on a screen) in your home when you need them.
Now, GoodRx Gold members can fire up their trusty GoodRx app and have an iPhone-sized doctor or medical professional magically transported into your home without leaving your couch. Our docs write prescriptions and provide all sorts of helpful medical advice. You can even tickle them through your screen (though I can’t guarantee they’ll appreciate it). And don’t worry - with our stretching machine, we’ll restore our doctors and medical professionals to regular size lickety-split.
Bonus: Gold members save over 50% on visits - we’re magically shrinking medical bills. So, download the new app update and check it out. This one’s for you, Mike TeaVee.

Version 6.0.1018 December 2020I don’t remember much of what I learned at university. Of all the things I can’t remember, I mostly can’t remember what I learned in art history. This fact may be correlated with the fact that art history class was held before noon, my instructor had a thing for pointillism and my attention span could best be described as ‘sporadic’.
(I can, however, remember that time with the mascot and the jelly donuts, but I’ve been sworn to secrecy.)
So when the designers and engineers said “Hey, we’re updating the app - it’s called ‘Project Matisse’”, I said “Oh, yeah, totally. She’s awesome. I love her thing with the melting clocks.” Then I thought that melting clocks might not be great for a health app redesign. And then I thought that I probably don’t need to write down every thought that comes into my head.
So I looked up Matisse on the Interwebs. I learned that apparently Matisse is a dude, not a lady, and he was a painter about 100 years ago. So he probably didn’t do much app design. I’m guessing he wore turtlenecks.
I’m here to tell you that our app has a new look which is somehow related to a painter who liked to paint in pastels. I’m guessing you should expect the app version of Tropical Starburst. Good luck with that.
OK, fine, I checked the app out. Research FTW! It’s nice and clean. I’d say it more captures the nilihistic brevity of Gaugin coupled with the spatial irrelevance of Basquiat. And yes, I made all of those words up.
In short - we redesigned the app! It’s more pretty and funner. Check it out.

Version 6.0.503 December 2020Just like Mallomars, we’re back! I (Fun fact: also like Mallomars, we are crunchy on the outside, gooey on the inside and we tend to melt in the heat.)
The gang’s been hard at work on new features, none of which include my fabulous suggestions, such as:
- A phone attachment that presses any pill into a Flintstones vitamin (BamBam tastes best.)
- A Dora The Explorer-themed pill reminder (“tiempo para tu medicina, abuela!”)
- Partnering with the NFL to deliver antidepressants to any fans of NFC East teams (ouch!)
- Free astrology readings with every refill (“You may feel nausea, but that’s just Mercury in retrograde, Kevin!”)
Instead, we made it easier for GoodRx Gold members to transfer prescriptions between pharmacies. So much less fun, but since I’m banned from going to the engineering floor, I can’t really tell them that.
We (us?) GoodRxers hope you’re safe and well. In case you don’t follow our every tweet, we’ve recently set aside shares (currently worth over 50 million actual US dollars!) for philanthropic initiatives, including helping Americans find affordable care at clinics across the USA. That is both not a joke and truly exciting, because, despite my passable-at-best attempts at comedy writing, the rest of our team actually works hard to help people get the care they need. They’re keepers, those folks. Me? Well…there’s always Hollywood.

Version 5.6.1305 October 2020GoodRx HQ may be empty, but we’re busy cranking out new digital bells and whistles from our home La-Z-Boys. In fact, we’ve got something very special to let you know about right here, right now.
One of the first things I noticed when I started working from home was that packages were arriving at my house pretty much hourly. The UPS and FedEx guys (heroes all around) seem to form an endless parade up my steps, delivering my Thighmaster(TM), late-night-TV knife sets, manscaping kits and frozen bratwurst like clockwork. My two favorite words of 2020 are “SUBMIT ORDER”.
But the thing is, I can’t get healthcare delivered. Or can I? (Like the leading question? Didn’t see that coming, did ya?) You see, the smart folks at GoodRx (100% not me; I bring the snark) realized a while back that prescriptions aren’t any good when you can’t pick ‘em up. Not everyone wants to walk down the Colds & Flu aisle to pick up their meds (Side note: Shout out to America’s pharmacists and pharmacy techs who don’t have the option to work from home - THANK YOU!). So we created GoodRx Gold Mail Delivery (GGMD). (OK, it’s not really called GGMD. I’m just lazy and don’t want to write that 10 times.)
With GGMD, GoodRx Gold members can now have hundreds of prescriptions sent via Portkey (or is it Floo powder? I forget how the fancy tech works.) directly into your Seattle Kraken-themed mailbox. The prices are awesome (100+ common drugs under $5!), the quality is top-notch, the shipping is free, the packaging is boring (“discreet” is what they told me to say, but that sounds a bit eewww…), and it all makes you wonder why you even own a car. It’s that impressive.
So, the next time you need some meds, just fire up GoodRx, push a few buttons - et voila! - our pill-carrying storks will soon be on their way.
