very good app

this gives u info abt drugs that other cheap or free apps dont...so u get what u paid for!!!!

Great resource, weak app

Starting crashing upon opening so I cant use it. Also iPhone support for for all of their apps is long overdue.

What happened?

I am a nurse, and have used Micromedex as my primary drug info site for a few years. It is accurate, easy to use, and very handy when a patient asks me something about a medication, because I can pull it up right on the spot and we can read it together. I have never had a problem with the app until now. When I tried to access it yesterday it asked for a password. I have never needed a password before, and dont understand why one is needed now. If I ever had a password, it has long since been forgotten. What happened??

App

This app is very hopeful. I have used it for several year and now I am being charged for it. Boooooo

Good

Good app that is easy to use

Phoney

Cant use without buying.

Great Reference

This is a great reference tool that is both lightweight and comprehensive. I highly recommend anyone who has questions about medications.

Crashes before purchasing

I have had this app for several years and found the information useful. I tried renewing the subscription yesterday and the app constantly crashed. I contacted developer who told me it was my problem that there was nothing wrong with their app. I am using latest version of iOS and have no problem purchasing other apps including another app from this developer yesterday. Never had such a poor response from a developer

Stop making me put in password

Its an ok app, put constantly makes me put in a password, with every little update. A very big pain when you are trying to look up something.

Not recognizing purchase

I reinstalled this app after iOS 8 compatibility issues. It, and all the other micromedex apps are not recognizing my purchase and asking me to pay each subscription again

Crashes!

Used to be good, but it immediately crashes in this most recent update!!

NOT FREE

This app is so dumb. You download it and then have to purchase it for $2.99 after opening it. Its a scam. I wish I could rate it less than 1 star.

Must have!

Cant live without Micromedex. So thankful this app comes free with our institution subscription.

Says update w/free data to use

Good luck finding the data!

Routine Crashes

About every week or two the app crashes and will not let you update or log in, even with a valid institutional subscription. You have to delete and redownload the app to log in again. This clearly intentional glitch to force you into paying is insulting. Id rather pay for lexicomp than to give into this scheme.

Not free and Does not work

This was once a good app. But the author has an issue with the app asking to renew, every time you try to use it. If you ask for customer support, they tell you to ask Apple. So, I guess I will ask Apple for a refund

Deserved a zero star

Slow! Crashed every time! This app always asked for password every single time IPhone updated the new software. Horrible

Bait and Switch

Free to download, $2.99 to activate.

Stops working after a few months (or days!)

Nice when it works and worth the $2.99 per year under those circumstances. Problem is the app stops working out of nowhere — usually right when you need it the most. It will force you to log-in again, and it will be unable to find your user ID or verify your password. Then your only choice is to purchase the app again, even though you just purchased it last month. Definitely do not buy this app until the fix the problem!!!

Quality information

Quality information about drugs. Set up requires inserting password from hospital or school just once a year. Doesnt take up massive amounts of memory space on phone. Provides the basics when I am in not in front of my computer.
