epocrates App Reviews

I am a surgeon and have used epocrates for many years. It has been a very useful app. I have been using it on my iPhone when at work or my iPad when at home. However in the last few months it has stopped working on my iPad. I have tried to update it multiple times but to no avail. It freezes up when it says the “update will only take a few minutes”. I have tried deleting the app and reinstalling it from the App Store several times; however, that has not worked either. And yes I am using th

In addition to the excellent book for reference during my training in Internal Medicine and my fellowship in gastroenterology, this ebook was an excellent resource in the investigation and manadgement in any of the other general specialties and subespecialties of another teme in general medicine specially when it was used in addition to MedPlus , where with both tools we obtained an up today information. Since I was a second year medical student , I knew Epocrates, and since then I continue to

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!

I have used Epocrates it for many years, more I used it more I like it. There has been some change in App, I loved the older version more May be I need to get use to changes. I find Drug drug interaction as very useful tool for doctors to help patient stay in safe zone. As so many patients are taking so many medications from multiple specialists. I wish the result could be put in stars or some digits to show generally risk is insignificant, mild , moderate, severe, dangerous. I enjoyed the

Can we get rid of notifications and CME’s. Some of us want to get to the drugs quickly and these pop up first before getting to the drugs. If there are 10 of each.. I’d have to get rid of each one of them before it becomes useful to me. Please have them on a separate category and get rid of your pop ups. Otherwise I use epocrates a bit and I like it.

Great resource- it is my go to. It is organized clearly and concisely. Quickly tells you what you need to know. I have used it now for over 14 years. This latest update has some major bugs— it constantly is signing me out. Please fix quickly!!! The first time I have ever had issues with the app.

Generally like the app for getting quick answers. However, what happened to the link to “Alternative” drugs. I.e. when you are looking at a specific drug, and want to see similar ones?

Excellent app. Even after retirement as a MD, I will keep this app and continue to use it. I wish all apps were so well done and up kept. RMO MD

Epocrates this was a great app that was my go to all the time, however, since it was bought by Athena, it has become increasingly bloated, and the last few updates makes it really difficult to use. Since every time I have to open the app, I have to login and then that will be a wait “for one minute“ that will take more than one minute, especially when I am in outreach clinics and hence I started depending on other references

App is good when it works. About once a week it freezes and I have to delete it and redownload it to use it again.

The most helpful app out there since MicroMedex went away. Love the subscription free and subscription models. Very helpful information!

I have been using epocrates for over 15 years. This is a wonderful tool for medication management and pharmacology. For basic labs the plus level is very useful to come to a differential. The calculators are easy to use. The cons are the app takes long to load. The original was far quicker and more user Friendly. They have an unnecessary splash page which delays care. If you need specialized labs this app may not have details on it

The recent update is unstable. It randomly closes itself or disappears from full screen mode.

Since the latest update last week, epocrates is inaccessible for iOS versions older that 16, that includes iPhones 7, 7 plus etc which can’t download higher OS. I don’t know if that was technically necessary, but definetely it is annoying, since my other medical apps still can be used and upgraded except for epocrates, which I was using since 2000 (on my palm pilot back then). Why should I decide on upgrading my phone only because of one app? So I won’t, and will switch to something else or Goog

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.

Per the developer this is how they want to receive feedback. Great app really but recently when you open the app for the first time each day it is frozen likely doing an annoying update. Bottom line, if I open the app, I probably need to use it and really don’t have the 5-10 min to wait. Please use your own product and fix these nonsense glitches.

The app used to work great but but it’s been crashing and freezes a lot lately. I have to completely turn off my phone to get it to start working again. Someone needs to look into it

Switched to WorldDrugs. - epocrates locks up when their internal adds appear. You are bloating like a democrat controlled government with about the same end results. At least other apps still work like epocrates used to.
