looking for an drug book app to work offline and this one fits the bill. Installed on my iOS 4 iPhone 3G and the app will not load. Clicked on it, launch the initial screen and then the app automatically closes. Tried uninstalling it and reinstalling via iTunes and got the same result. And I paid $12.99 for this???!!
The app is great, I'm just wondering when it's going to be updated????? So I can use it again
Just bought this app and I am very disappointed! Not worth the $$! Trying to look up very common medications and could not find them.
I've had this app for a month now and it's been great at clinical. Needs an update to be compatible with iOS 4. Very disappointed that it doesn't work yet.
Missing a lot of info. Does not tell how to administer and a lot of medications are missing. Do not buy if you are looking for a supplement to the book. Includes very little info
App needs to be able to search by brand name and it's missing quite a few drugs
Waste of money. Unless you know the generic name of the med you are searching for, this app is useless. The search bar only searches for generic names, not brand names. Wish I'd saved my money... Oh and I don't even have the classifications page as a last try to find my drug!!!
This is a great app but compared with the actual book, needs more info related to the drugs and the interventions. I hope they can start improving it to make the best of it!
