Ratings and reviews

As an NP, I havr used this app for nearly 4 years. 5 stars on content! I have appreciated how up to date the info has been. HOWEVER, following my most recent renewal there are DAILY updates and syncing that take anywhere between 30 min to, currently, an hour and still waiting. Very frustrating. I have been delayed in caring for my patients every single day. If this does not change, I will cancel and find something else.

Since the new upgrade I am no longer able to search for a topic & get any results. It keeps saying that it is updating or syncing but it has been doing this for days. I paid for this app & many of the features are no longer working. I can't search diagnosis to look up treatments. This app is useless to me, how can we fix this. I have even tried restarting my phone & that didn't work. Decided to uninstall the app & reinstalled it, but now it really is not working won't even finish download!

Do not upgrade, as if you have a choice. Will constantly ask for password and then not load. What once was very good has become a joke. Sad to see it go, but it has become worthless. Decided to try again. It worked! And also has been organized as to my profession's needs. Will see how stable the app is. But for the nonce, looking good.
