Useless if you have an emergency!

Don’t get.

I had an emergency to a new inhaler got a reaction. It was the middle of the night and the BNF that the paramedics had wouldn’t work. Neither did this one.
In the end we had to gamble on taking my old inhaler to stop the reaction and we had a 50/50 chance of it making it worse, as in the leaflet it said not to take both. In the end it was ok. But for both apps to crash at the same time isn’t on.

We needed this at a crucial time and because of money constraints I can’t buy the paper versions that come out regularly.

You let us down.

Not working

Unable to use the app as when you start up, just displayed blank white screen.

Had to delete and reinstall

Recently stopped working on iPhone with completely blank screen on opening app. Had to delete and reinstall and now working fine.

Please fix it

Not working on ipad, just a frozen starting screen

Utterly useless!!!

Just updated to latest version 3.2.40 (15th Apr 2026) on iOS 26, and all you get now is a blank white screen. 🤣 This is bloody useless as an app to get quick details on medicine. 🤬 Why is it taking the BNF so damn long - years from what I can tell - to fix the app. It’d be quicker to just lug-around the latest BNF Guidebook instead on my rounds. 🙄 Zero stars!!!
