Customer Reviews
Disappointed -- was hoping for more
I had used Skyscape's long ago on my Palm, but had switched to Epocrates. I tried this out for the past day and was disappointed.
First off, despite the advertised screen image, there is no 5MCC available. This app really has 3 parts: RxDrugs, Archimedes (calculator), and OCM (clinical outlines). The calculator is ok, but a bit clunky/awkward -- Mediquations is better. RxDrugs has good basic drug info, but is poorly formatted and lacks the "polish" and features of the free Epocrates product -- e.g., a drug interaction checker, pill pictures, pill identifier, adverse rxns, black box warnings, etc etc. The OCM outline product looked interesting, but the content was scattered and confusing to navigate.
Overall, not bad for a free product, but there are better free products out there already.
Fast, functional and beautiful
Have owned skyscape applications since my first 5mcc on the original palm pilot in 2000. They have the best products and interface. I switched to iphone recently, but have had to carry my palm t/x as well to use all the clinical information and archimedes medical calculator from skyscape. glad to say that the iphone native implementation from skyscape is fast and functional as ever. The interface is even more beautiful to make it much more fun to use. I can truly retire my palm. Thanks skyscape!
I called them today to find out about the status of additional products to add (interested in 5mcc and Abx guide). It wil be a couple of weeks according to them before I can purchase them (something about how iphone products can only be distributed through iTune). The outlines in clinical medicine is decent but I wanted to get 5mcc as well. Guess I'll have to wait just a little longer...
Best Yet
I bought the first generation iPhone just for this application. I also had the first generation skyscape since the beginning. I have been disappointed from day one with the speed of the edge network. I work in an ER without wifi and the applications for skyscape with the web apps have been painfully slow. I really needed my Davis drug guild, and I also used RN notes as well as my Taylor. I soon abandon my Davis Drug guild completely for skyscape as soon as Epocrates came out. It was much faster and I didn’t have to scroll forever as I did with Davis. The problem with Epocrates is it is limited in its information and Davis is much better. Since this SDK came out skyscape upgraded all of my web-apps for free! They work great, and everything I thought it could be when I bought the phone. I feel like it's Christmas, could not be better! Needless to say I’m back to Davis!
