Ratings and reviews

There was a time where this was the best drug app. I have been using it for 25y. I hate that now half the time when I open it I get the spinning circle of death waiting for the app to update. Takes at least 30s. Why can't it update randomly during the day when it's not open so that I can actually do patient care in a timely fashion? also, I use it as a drug reference. I have zero interest in any news articles that it has. It can't even do its basic function job.

It's no longer a "quick" reference because when you open the app, there's a delay. Then click the search bar and an ad pops up asking to upgrade to the paid version. You have to click X on the top right corner. Then a winter ad pops up for their current winter deals. X out. Then you can search again. This happens several times a day.

I love this app usually, but lately, I have been unable to use what I have paid for. I will be canceling if this issue is not fixed. It continuously says that it is syncing. When working, this is very beneficial to me. I used it daily at work until these updates. It is very frustrating. 12/8/23 This app stays unstable anymore. I pay an annual subscription and can't even use my mobile app half the time. It's not opening at all on mobile now.
