    I was baker acted because of a drug interaction for about two months in 2023. The drugs I was prescribed do not show up as an interaction with this app. If you are a Dr. avoid this app.
  • Frozen APP

    My APP is in constant state of being frozen. I’m not able to reach anyone to help me access the needed information
  • Severe downgrade in utility

    I have been using this product for over 10 years at this point. When it first came out it was absolutely the best resource available for drug database. Later they greatly expanded the apps scope to be a pocket resource and still meaningfully improved product. For the last few years though, the product worsened with bloat and poor responsiveness (even on current hardware). I responded by dropping subscription and relying on just free version for drug database resources. However the current product has so much bloat (unwanted adds, sponsored articles you cannot disable, use bandwidth, and slow whole app)that it is almost unusable. Really disappointed to see a once great product become so poorly functional. I no longer recommend to students or residents that train with us.

    Switched to WorldDrugs. - epocrates locks up when their internal adds appear. You are bloating like a democrat controlled government with about the same end results. At least other apps still work like epocrates used to.
  • App has problems

    The app used to work great but but it’s been crashing and freezes a lot lately. I have to completely turn off my phone to get it to start working again. Someone needs to look into it
  • Indispensable…but the “News” is not.

    I love this app. Love love love it. The Highlights and Basics, Tests, DDx, and Tx tabs under the Quick Reference sections of specific diseases—along with a pharmaceutical dictionary—are indispensable. I truly feel this app makes daily clinical practice easier, smoother, and safer for patients and providers. The ONLY gripe I have about this app is that the News pops up throughout the day, prompting me to click on Headlines before I search for what I need to know, and this is on the PAID version. You are supposed to be able to search for what you need to know from this obligatory News screen. And that would be fine. If it worked. But 9/10 it doesn’t, you can’t, and the app crashes/stalls. I’ve emailed twice about this through the app and received personalized replies, but I could tell they were meaningless…and the issue still hasn’t been resolved. The app is otherwise perfect and if it were a matter of resolving this “issue”/improving the functionality of the app or risk losing the functionality currently available, I would not risk it. That’s how much I value this app.

    I have used Epocrates it for many years, more I used it more I like it. There has been some change in App, I loved the older version more May be I need to get use to changes. I find Drug drug interaction as very useful tool for doctors to help patient stay in safe zone. As so many patients are taking so many medications from multiple specialists. I wish the result could be put in stars or some digits to show generally risk is insignificant, mild , moderate, severe, dangerous. I enjoyed the spot diagnosis pic, it is learning with fun. Keep up good the good work and thanks for service to Medical field. KMV, M.D.
  • Good app until recently

    Per the developer this is how they want to receive feedback. Great app really but recently when you open the app for the first time each day it is frozen likely doing an annoying update. Bottom line, if I open the app, I probably need to use it and really don’t have the 5-10 min to wait. Please use your own product and fix these nonsense glitches.
  • generally like this... except when i need it NOW

    the breadth of data in epocrates is fabulous, and i use it on a regular basis. it is my go-to for pregnancy/breastfeeding risks, as MicroMedex essentially says "risk cannot be ruled out". that's hardly helpful - i can't rule out death by meteor impact, but the odds are pretty low. where epocrates falls down is on a few specific, but critical, areas. many times i've needed it, and am told that the app is updating clinical data. no clue how long that'll take. when i'm with a patient and need info, waiting an unclear amount of time is a problem. additionally there are times the UI becomes unresponsive. just a few minutes ago i needed to look something up on a specific insulin. i'm stuck at the news page - i can press the search bar but it won't bring up a cursor so i can't search. i could open articles but not search. repeatedly. after closing and relaunching the app and it still not working i went to another resource. the volume of data in this app is valuable to any clinician - but if i can't get to it, that data isn't helping, and when im in a room with a patient and the clock is ticking, valuable time is being lost. 3 stars.
  • Frustrating freezing 100% of the time!!!

    What the heck happened to this very useful app? Are you guys doing too much for profit or what? Always frozen for the search engine but those useless articles open with an instant click. What the heck!!!
