Ratings and Reviews
Love the app, BUT!
I absolutely love this app but I was super bummed after the last update you can’t read any of the sections because the background is black and the lettering is IDK what color but it isn’t white lettering. I can’t even read it. I have not found a better app so I hope the developer fixes this issue.
Great if you loved the PDR
I read that the PDR text was discontinued around 2017, and after years of having it for reference, I was bummed. The later versions seem to had negative reviews, but I hadn’t actually bought the text in a few years. I think a lot of negative reviews of PDR information is that people want watered down material. I personally love that you always got pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. Plus the information presented was detailed as a professional pamphlet that is included in literature. As far as I’m concerned, working in the field, this app provides the detail to truly know the drug if you’re unfamiliar. Compared to other free apps that simply give ridiculous info such as “antiemetic” and “used to treat nausea” with a basic dosing guideline of 4 or 8 mg every 6 hours as needed et cetera. This is providing you with detailed information about 5-HT3 antagonism, other chemotrigger explanations and various receptor interactions. I like detail and having free access at work on my phone is a plus.
Great App, but needs improvement
Thank you so much for the app! It's such an awesome reference. This app could be a lot better if you could improve some of the following suggestions:
1. In-app review/feedback doesn't work well, but fit my case, doesn't work at all. Recommend just provide email if that's how you want feedback.
2. Organization of text and drop downs need sone cleaning up. Just cosmetics, see other apps for organization and presentation of information. Navigation is easy but not clean or intuitive.
3. Create a favorite tab so we can save a list of favorite drugs. It kinda does with the Recent Search but not very good.
4. Create a tab for related drugs when one is looked up.
5. Great idea to have comparison option but it doesn't do much except for loading two drugs on different pages. Comparison should be in a table format with relevant information. For example when you compare two computers, it shows side by side comparison. Would be hard to compare drugs and information are mainly not numeric.
5. Create option for making Flashcards from list of favorite drugs. Just a wish :)
Will provide more feedback later. Thanks and keep up the great work.
