Huge Asset in my toolbox!
Been using this app for at least 5-6 years as a REMS remote / international medic in my clinical capacity. It's my go to resource especially since it's nearly fully operational off-line. Wonderful Rx resource.

Excellent format. Level of detail /referencing comparable to best textbooks.
Love it!
I have used this app since nursing school, and it's great! I work in Emergency Medicine, and I get new meds ordered by the docs all the time. I go to the "Davis Drug Guide" add-in and read all about it. Then, I use the link tool to go to the "Drug Administration Guide" add-in (same as is in the med room by the Pyxis), to get the rate of administration.
Do you have to pay to get the good add-ins; yes. Do you have to pay to update the add-ins; sometimes. But, having ONE place to get all your questions answered, saving time for busy Nurses, Awesome!

Great resource
I'm a nursing student, so I use this app everyday and I love it! My only suggestion is when I'm reading something and there is a word I don't know, I have to go back to the dictionary part of the app and look the word up then go back. If there were some way to highlight the word and define that would be amazing. Other than that I swear by this app!

Skyscape is an invaluable tool in the field
As a medical doctor currently in Liberia assisting in the West African Ebola outbreak, Skyscape has been an invaluable tool for me. It helps me quickly look up differential diagnoses and treatment plans with ease, which is essential given the breadth of illnesses we see here with minimal lab and treatment options. A unique aspect of Skyscape is that I can access all of this data without the need for the internet, a scarcity where I am currently working. In one instance, we had a patient present with a unique rash that no provider was able to diagnose; using the image bank of a Skyscape dermatology book, we were able to not only diagnose the patient, but also determine a treatment regimen that allowed the patient to stay in country, recover, and return to work. Skyscape has truly been my most important piece of medical equipment I have had during this trip. Thank you!

Nice app
Use it during my clinic all the time. Excellent design and useful information at my fingertips.
4 stars
Please allow users to change the font.. The current font is less than user friendly to say the least. Otherwise great app, very useful!
Useful
Very handy & convenient, but the tap/swipe feature is useless and beyond annoying - get rid of it!!!!!!!
Skyscape is back!
Just like the advertisement states, it is just like the old Skyscape, except the color scheme is red instead of blue. This app is very easy to use and I am able to access all of the information that I need without having Internet connection. I was very frustrated when my old Skyscape updated to OMNIO. I could not find anything that I needed and I ended up going to Google to find the answers. This app is extremely helpful in the nursing program and I would recommend it to anybody who needs a fast easy way to find medications or diagnoses. Glad Skyscape is back and here to stay!

$200 down the drain
I disregarded previous reviews that indicated lost in-app purchases with updates. I downloaded Skyscape and purchased $200 of resources and used it without a problem for a few weeks. Then I updated the app and lost all of my purchases. I have tried everything to retrieve them with no luck. I reinstalled the app, no luck. I tried to reinstall purchases, no luck, they wanted payment for all of these again. I called the Skyscape hotline for over a week with no human contact, they requested a voicemail with contact info. I has been over a month and I have yet to hear from them. My suggestion would be to try your luck with ePocrates or UpToDate.
