Ratings and reviews

I've used Epocrates for over 20 years. It was a fantastic, clinically useful app but has become useless over time. There was the debacle after the last update, when it would lock up and become utterly useless. It was "fixed" and with reinstallation was better, and now it is constantly malfunctioning again. Slow to launch (bogs down with ads), then slow to the point of uselessness, if it works at all, and now is locking up and I have to close app. PLEASE FIX!!!

I have the s24 ultra, running the latest Android operating system with all the necessary updates. My app is also up-to-date. Unfortunately the app keeps freezing, and force closing. This app unfortunately has been almost unusable over the past few months. I'm unsure as to what is going on but it's a shame because this app is no longer a reliable resource because of the fact that it's not able to function properly on my phone. It appears that other people are having the same issue.

I've been using Epocrates for many years now. I am for the Epocrates Plus, in the last month I open the program on my phone which is compatible. It is frozen , and does not work. Removed the app several times and re-downloaded it. I then went to the Play store to see that there's several other people that are complaining about this issue. If this is not taking care of then I will definitely ask for a refund and I will let all my colleagues know. Very frustrating!!!! Please fix
