1. [R1] Davis's Drug Guide 1/5 · US Unable to Use After Paying: I renewed my subscription after the trial and it still won't let me search meds on the app! I need this to work for nursing school.
2. [R15] Davis's Drug Guide 1/5 · US Paid and does not work: Paid subscription and not even Tylenol drug information pulls up.
3. [R31] Davis's Drug Guide 1/5 · US Sucky app: This app does not work unless you pay for it. The free trial is just there to lure you into paying. If you try the free trial, it will not work unless you update your account and then pay. Once you pay it will work. Fake free 30 days trial.
4. [R33] Davis's Drug Guide 1/5 · US App not working when I got my new phone: My app won’t allow me to log on since getting my new phone. I do have an older version but it worked great for me. When I try to log on it tells me I purchased from the App Store and need to “restore” from there. There is no option to “restore” from the App Store. Looks like I’m out $40.
5. [R4] Davis's Drug Guide 1/5 · US Poor business practices: This app was useful as a student, but I now get a superior drug guide for free through my workplace. However, there is no way to cancel this subscription. Please beware that if you subscribe to this app you are locked in for life. Better off with the hard copy of the book
6. [R6] Davis's Drug Guide 3/5 · US Great but tooo expensive: Every can be found on the web. Too expensive for a student trying to get through school
7. [R10] Davis's Drug Guide 1/5 · US Money, hungry app: You purchase the app and continues to make you purchase more and more.
8. [R21] Davis's Drug Guide 1/5 · US Too expensive: Why do I need to subscribe yearly??
9. [R3] Davis's Drug Guide 3/5 · US Update Needed: Updates needed more often! Looked up a medication today and it wasn’t listed! Had to use Google instead!
10. [R9] Davis's Drug Guide 3/5 · US Aggravated: This is the second year that I've purchased this, and I continue to find medication's that this source has no record of. Dissatisfied.
11. [R19] Davis's Drug Guide 1/5 · US Review: A lot of new meds or meds being approved or removed from market aren’t adequate
12. [R23] Davis's Drug Guide 2/5 · US Good, but not for new drugs: I like the format! New drugs people ask about are not usually found even if app is up to date. I use it and other apps for newer drugs.
13. [R13] Davis's Drug Guide 1/5 · US Only allows 1 I pad download: So in today's work only a single tablet download is crazy. I don't need it on my phone- I need it on 2 tablets. Can I do that? No… does it point that out before you waste your money? No.
14. [R37] Davis's Drug Guide 1/5 · US Glitchy app: I am trying to do my school work. The app lets me view the drug but them glitches as I’m looking at the information
15. [R41] Davis's Drug Guide 1/5 · US Healthcare provider: This App is very difficult to navigate and poorly organized. Also there are many common meds that are NOT included in the data base. It is NOT worth 39.99 per year. Several of the other Medicine Apps are much much better and those are either free or .99 cents. Please don’t waste your money on this terrible App, as it will only serve to fail you in an emergency!!!!
16. [R45] Davis's Drug Guide 1/5 · US Don’t waste your time: So you buy the book with online resources but the website is poorly designed and only loads half of the time. So you think, okay well maybe I’ll download the app. Well the app is 39 dollars. But wait, if you download the app on your iPhone but want to use it on an android tablet you have to buy the app again. They don’t tell you until later to buy the app through the website

19. [R56] Picmonic Nursing School Study 5/5 · US Nursing Review: This has been my favorite nursing review so far! It was much cheaper than other programs and even has the option to study books that I used during nursing school. I have been a nurse for 6 years and have been going back through and reviewing content just to sharpen my skills. I wish I knew this existed back when I was originally in school. Great product for visual learners like mys
20. [R58] Picmonic Nursing School Study 5/5 · US The BEST for Visual Learners: Is like mini stories for each disease! They keep me motivated and make studying fun!
21. [R66] Nursing Central 5/5 · US Please keep the article links free!!: As a nursing student that had been through an LPN program without Nursing Central, and is now using Nursing Central in an ADN program, I can say that this program is incredible. This gives you, not only understandable knowledge, but the confidence and peace of mind knowing that it is scholarly/peer reviewed content. Not to mention, easy to navigate, helpful wi

29. [R93] epocrates 1/5 · US Not Free Anymore: Used Epocrates for years and always thought it was a great resource. Perfect while I was in pharmacy school and now as a pharmacist. I am extremely disappointed, but frankly not surprised, they now have it behind a paywall. I only looked up a few medications (maybe like 4) and get the pop up that I “reached my free amount of look ups for the week.” For the week? It’s literally th
30. [R94] epocrates 3/5 · US Was great: This has been a trusted resource for years, including dosing and interaction checking. The decision to hide it behind a paywall was unfortunate. Will use a different resource going forward.

32. [R96] epocrates 3/5 · US Shame: Had my account since 2015 as Paramedic to be able to find out what medications people were on when found at home and for the purposes of being prescribed. It was free and now, it isnt. Lame

34. [R111] Nursing School & NCLEX Prep 5/5 · US Could not recommend more: Simple nursing is absolutely amazing and is what I used throughout my nursing school journey. There’s informational videos with animations and jingles, study guides, and practice questions. Nurse Mike is the best, and broke difficult topics down in such simple 😏 ways. Thank you Nurse Mike!
35. [R114] Nursing School & NCLEX Prep 5/5 · US Honest Review: I get overwhelmed with my class notes so I always open my simple nursing app to go over the concepts. They are clear, precise and helpful and I can’t wait to delve deeper into all of the cards and question for my NCLEX in August.

37. [R24] Davis's Drug Guide 5/5 · US Best med app!: This app is incredible! It is designed where you don’t even need Internet or Wi-Fi so if you’re stuck in a med room and have to google something, you can always have your answer at hand. You can make notes which is great. After my shifts, I use the recent search list to review. I’ve looked up to feel more comfortable with them for next shift.

40. [R98] epocrates 3/5 · US $$$$: I’ve been using this since residency - great app when it first came out then got on palm pilot - saved a few lives with it The free features were the drug parts which I use to look up side effects - doses and cr cl adjustments Recently starting charging even for that with a few free views a week - so switching to something else Don’t really need all the other features. It’s still a sol
41. [R99] epocrates 1/5 · US Not free any longer: After about 2 decades of a free subscription, now I’m limited to using this for free which means a usage cap each week! Thanks for your loyalty epocrates!
