In the context of the digital transformation of pharmaceutical education, the development of specialized mobile applications adapted to the tasks of professional training is of particular importance. This article presents a comparative analysis of the author's mobile application "Pharmacy" with three existing digital products used in pharmaceutical education and practice: the professional reference book "RLS® Encyclopedia of Medicines", the educational classifier "Classify Rx for pharmacology" and the game simulator "Pharmacy Simulator". The comparison was based on six key criteria: the completeness of the information content, the availability of a Russian-language interface, the degree of adaptation to educational tasks, the functionality of search and filtering, the availability of interactive elements, ease of use and technical requirements. The results of the analysis demonstrate that the developed Pharmacy application occupies a unique niche: combining a fully Russian-language interface, a pedagogically sound presentation structure and elements of professional activity modeling, it makes up for the shortage of available educational resources for the initial stage of pharmacist training. The application is focused on the formation of basic professional competencies, complies with Russian educational standards and does not impose high requirements on technical equipment, which confirms its pedagogical feasibility and promising implementation in the educational process.
