  • What’s with the update?

    I’ve used this app for over 10 years now, and have always found this app an invaluable tool in my nursing career. This recent update however has brought on frustration with how it’s now longer generating EDD and EGA. There are other areas also that I’ve recently found to stop working, but the “pregnancy wheel” is what I’ve used the most as I found it faster than using an actual wheel or going online for a calculator. Please fix. Thank you!

    I used to be able to look up medication information without a subscription. As of today all that information has been put behind a paywall. I just used this as a quick way to look up medication vs what was provided by my employer, so I will be deleting this immediately.

    I have used this app since medical school 20 years ago. It has always been solid and provided me the information I needed. Starting this month, the free drug checker is no longer available. If you want to see information on any drug you were prompted to pay $24 a month for the privilege of doing some. I have promptly deleted the app and am going to a comparable app that is free. Goodbye Epocrates.

    I’ve been using Epocrates for over a decade and have recommended it to so many people. Now I go to look up a med today and I have to pay for information I’d been getting for free without any warning about the change?? No thanks.
  • Junk now

    They just put all the med info that was free for decades behind a subscription. Useless now without paying. Sad, it was my go to app for my practice.
  • Upgrade? Hardly!

    Used to be very good . Now you’re stealing data and planting cookies!!!! Are you trying to steal our banking info ? Or the phone numbers of our kids ? Now your forcing us to move up to the latest iOS releases. More data collection? I thought that your app was the best medicine app I have turned many of my fellow medical professionals onto your app . I have even used the premium version . But now I get marginally interesting quizzes,and data stealing . SAID AND PATHETIC. I hate lazy and stupid people doing jobs that are important. So the outcome is substandard. What’s next ? An anemic tie in to “AI” (chatgpt) that is not quite functional but takes multiple gigabytes or memory and processor allocation. You must have hired some mid management stooge who convinced upper management that dressing up a pig will make it look like a fashion model . There are so many things that could be done to improve the quality and effectiveness of the app .

    I’ve loved this app as an RN and used it frequently. Now since a recent update I need to pay a monthly subscription when most content used to be free?? Very disappointing.
