This app used to be great, but since the update it's been awful. It always says I have to update the database, but when I try to update it it never finishes updating, making the app unusable. Please fix it. Update 7/21/23: this app is still awful. It freezes and crashes constantly. I'm not sure what was done because it used to be issue free and now it's unusable.

Epocrates used to be excellent. In the last 2 years however, it crashes constantly and it has to be reinstalled. I'm a physician and have been using Epocrates for almost 20 years, since the palm pilot version, but will have to unistall it now, sice it's been nothing but a nuisance.
