5/5The Guide You Need
Almost every medication you might run into is right here at your fingertips. When you don’t have time to rummage through the book or a newer medication isn’t in there, it’s here! The app is simple to use and you can save the medications you run into the most. I use this app every day and I love it! It’s worth the price, I promise!

3/5RN, CNOR, Lic-P
While this is the drug app I like the most out of all the ones I have used, it still has a few issues. I've seen several new medications on TV commercials, but it seems to take forever for them to appear on here. The other, and perhaps the one I've read the most about, is that if your subscription expires, you can't access the app in the version you've already paid for which is like a textbook self destructing after one year. That ticks me off. Because of those two things I give it 3 stars. I like it, and I'd recommend it, but I'd tell the person about those issues so they could make a more informed decision.

2/5It used to be my favorite app...
This app is a great, easy and reliable tool to find out about medications. The bad thing about it is that even if you hadn't renew your anual subscription, it still would let you use it, and now you can no longer do that. I would snooze the reminder of the renewal and use it to look up a medication and eventually pay again for the subscription anyways. I was at work and since it does not allow you to do that anymore, I will not renew my subscription since I couldn't rely on it when I needed it. My hospital offers at least two drug books linked to the charting system, I used them and found what I needed. There is also information available online for free. You should either lower the anual subscription or allow people to use it even if they haven't renewed the subscription. With that being said, they just lost a loyal customer that had renewed subscription and used this app for 5 years until now.

1/5Don’t buy if you need it when you’re offline
I had the old Davis drug guide and loved it. But just like everyone else once I updated my iPhone this last time it was inop. So thought I’d try the one for nurses this time. Was working ok when I was in cell service range but didn’t realize it doesn’t work if you don’t have cell or WiFi until I was on a patient flight and needed to look up a medication and low and behold it doesn’t work. Thanks a lot! Now I hate this app and need to find one that will stay on my phone. Anyway to get my money back??? Anyone have a recommendation on another drug book??

5/5Apps better than the book
Even considering the increased price d/t the yearly subscription, this app is better than having the book because I always have it in my pocket at work and I don’t have to flip through pages. The comprehensive index search component has saved me so much time! I also enjoy the tools available including drug calculations, tables and lab values. This app is worth the subscription fee for nurse or for anyone needing to look up medications frequently.
