Still lacking

I tried to look up normal sodium levels for neonates. It has none listed for under 3 years of age. The book printed book does though.

Thank you for reaching out to us. We are unable to locate your account in our records to verify the edition you are referencing. The content in the resource comes directly from the publisher. We'd be happy to look into this matter further with additional account details and reference to the book. Please email our support team at support@unboundmedicine.com. We look forward to hearing from you!

Pediatric dosage calculator

In the past Harriet Lane provided a pediatrics dosage calculator for each drug. This application does not, which is disappointing.

Comes in handyโ€ฆ

Hospital Pharmacist for over 30 years, have been using Harriet Lane all this time.
This is my go to reference for checking drug doses for kids. Handy to have on my phone.

Still not a finished product, buy the paper copy

Tried to find normal for age glucose levels in reference value section. Says see chapter 10, with link provided. No values listed there, just discussion on diabetes.

Just tried to look up normal for age thyroid labs. All values for ages above 28 days are missing now.

I tried to call their number as they have requested, got voicemail.

Excellent! I use ir every day! Great source of information. And so handy to have it on your phone!

Great resource

Use daily. Love the ability to save favorites and search. Formulary and expanded drug search great addition. Indec is still not complete and would love more search power for simpler terms that are not already indexed or on table of contents. Overall thougb improvement on last two apps and invaluable day to day

We appreciate your use of the application, and your suggestions. We continually work to include new content and create new features to make the application both more useful and easier to use. You may see your comments implemented as future updates to the app's content or function.

Do not buy!

I totally agree with another reviewer. I bought the previous version for $60 and because the developer did not update this app I can no longer access the content. If I had purchased the book instead I would at least have access to the questions I look up the most! I will never purchase again from Unbound ever again.

Thank you for your feedback. This Harriet Lane app is fully optimized to run on Apple's latest operating system, iOS 11. Older Harriet Lane apps, purchased before September of 2015 were affected by the update. If you purchased one of these older apps, we encourage you to contact customer support as we are confident we can find a workable solution.

Canโ€™t open

I bought this app 2 years ago and they havenโ€™t updated it so it wonโ€™t open after the IOS 11 update. I think they want us to shell out another $60.

DO NOT USE UNBOUND, DO NOT BUY

I have had many of their products in last few years at about 60 an app. iOS 11 comes along and they are the ONLY app publisher that didnโ€™t update their product to work in iOS 11. Their solution - rebuy every app to the updated iOS app. I bought the standalone non subscription app to prevent downstream costs with a huge upfront cost. Egg on my face huh.

Unbound had 2 years to update all their apps but chose to gouge their customer base!
