epocrates: Drug Checker App users say on Google Play
I have used this app since 2001 and prior to this year I never had any significant issues. For the past year it has ranged from slow to unusable. The interaction check, one of the most important and useful aspects of the app, has not worked in months. Instead, it says a content update is necessary and then it goes into an endless cycle punctuated by periodic messages saying the app is not responding. I have updated as well as uninstalled and reinstalled. Update 10/22/24: Issue appears fixed
I have used this app since I was an EMT. It has been excellent for all these years, and now a practicing physician out of fellowship for over 10 years still the go-to app for medication information.
The most recent update on Android makes this app unusable!!!! It will not update the medication interaction database which is the only reason this app is even partially useful
Now, I can't use the drug interactions function because it says it needs to download a content update. You press the button, and nothing happens. It won't complete the content update. I checked, and I have the most recent version from Google Play store. I have relied on this app for many years. Now, I am at a loss. The drug interaction check is a very important, critical function.
Great app prior to November or so; my first line reference for medications when working as a paramedic or teaching in the classroom, and I used to recommend it to everyone. However, for the last couple of months, it's frozen on the home screen and has had to be force closed; I haven't actually been able to look anything up since then, and will be deleting the app if the issue isn't resolved shortly. Can't currently recommend. Update: same problems as of 9/16/24. Find a different app.
