Ratings and reviews

A bug has been introduced in recent months that says I need a "content update" prior to using the medication interaction checker, but then the content update doesn't even work, so I'm effectively locked out of the interaction checker. Sometimes the checker will work, sometimes the big happens. I can't believe they haven't fixed this yet! The interaction checker is critically important, and I need the tool *immediately* when I'm in the room with a patient! Updated review, bug appears to be fixed
