  • Crashes all the time

    The current version crashes all the time, which is less than ideal at the hospital
  • New ad when opening application is very intrusive

    After a recent update there is a new advertisement that appears right up front and requires dismissal when opening the application after it has not been used for a while. This is intrusive and adds an extra step delaying my access to the information I need. Could this be changed to how it was before?
  • Medication Interaction Check Glitch

    Please fix the glitch in the medication interaction check. When adding medications, they do not appear until you close out the app and reopen it. This is frustrating when trying to add multiple medications during patient visits.

    I enjoy reading the medical news articles, but with the most recent update, the articles are no longer dated, so it’s more difficult to pick out the articles that you have not yet read. The news articles in the Notifications section are still many months old. We also need to be able to delete the news articles in this section after reading them, like we used to be able to do.
  • Great app

    I have used this as my go-to drug reference since the late 1990s when I had it in a palm pilot! It’s grown so much and is super useful!
  • Frequent freezing

    Newest update causes long freezing periods and hangs on searching. Not caused by internet connection.
  • Repeated hangs and crashes

    I am a very long time user of epocrates. As a sleep specialist, I use this app nearly daily to look up medications and their particulars in order to judge their effects on sleep – wake. However, with the last few versions of the app, I have noticed an increasing number of hangs and outright crashes. Some days it works very well, and on other days is nearly unusable. This is unfortunate. Were it not for these problems, the app would get five stars from me.
  • Always reliable, indispensable

    I use epocrates daily for patient care. This app has been such a blessing for rapid, accurate dosing information that is very CLEAR and CONCISE. This app gets straight to the point and leaves out excessive fluff or distraction so you can keep up with a busy day. Very, very happy with their work!
  • Great if you have the latest iPhones

    The App Store only lets me download an older version of the app. But the epocrates app won’t let me run it (blocked by a screen forcing a newer version that I cannot get). So catch-22 in favor of wasting money on new tech. Edit: epocrates responded to my complaint by specifying that I have an older iPhone (consistent with my own original description), as though to shame me. Epocrates then told me to get a new iPhone. Apart from being unhelpful and elitist, I have zero interest in keeping up with the Joneses when my iPhone is working fine. And just to point out, epocrates is one of only a very few apps that are forcing phone upgrades on their app users (i.e. it’s epocrates choice to do so, and that choice is an outlier). 2nd edit: I just downloaded and tried some other replacement apps— Skyscape is stupendous, drugs.com is another good option.
