Ratings and reviews

I purchased the premium version of this App, as a 17+ yr seasoned RN, comparing this app to the free version of Epocrates- I'm very disappointed. I tried to write a detailed review, but there wasn't enough space. This app is difficult to chk specific drug interactions, has minimal reported adverse events, and is not as thorough in the meds mechanism of action. I sent an email through the App to ask for a refund, in detail stating the reasons why (twice). I never heard back.

I downloaded the free version to see if I wanted to purchase the premium. However, all of the screens are blank. I attempted to send a message to customer support, but it will not allow me since I did not buy the premium version. Now I will definitely not buy the premium version since you have to pay to ask a question. Ridiculous.

Actually is 5 star application that I've used since 2013 or in the neighborhood of 2011 when i had my heart surgery. The app always does what it says it will. To improve to real 5 star make it easy to compare say 7 drugs to also include OTC and list possible interactions of all that are input.
