Very poor service

1- The content is great. After all it reflects the Canadian guidelines.
2- Access to the content and search is a different story. A lot of room for improvement!
3- Every few years app changes name. Very irresponsible.
4- Every single time, the renewal of the subscription is a hustle. You don't even get an email to reset your password.
5- For a subscription worth of almost $800 per year, the service is very poor.

Add a search function for the page being reviewed

There is a general search bar to type in a specific keyword. When the page finally pulls up, there should be another search function that will lead you to the keyword you searched for initially.

Do Not waste your money

Most drugs you look up are not there, if there , only availability info. You have to struggle to find info you are trying to get. UpToDate is very good source with very easy access.

Don’t subscribe to this app, Won’t login

I used this app about two years ago and it was perfect. It worked smoothly with no glitches.

Today I decided to renew my subscription for Therapeutic choices e suites/ CTC.

Can login online via browser but the app on my phone wouldn’t even let me log in despite multiple redownloads of the app.

I called the customer care number and the person couldn’t resolve it and told me he would call back but I haven’t heard back.

Very disappointing.

Please fix this app.

Won’t download

An “error” occurs when trying to download the content. Not worth it, it doesn’t work.

Perfect

Perfect application, but I hope the font can get larger.

Cannot Sign In

App wont even let me sign in. Keeps saying “something went wrong”

Unreliable

Tried to use before but slow buggy updates and downloads over wifi were common. New installation will not download any updates either over data or wifi. It would be excellent to have Canadian content but not worth all the trouble shooting when there are better options. Just use the webpage.

No Longer Works

The app worked fine until the latest update, now it seems that it no longer supports my university’s subscription. I deleted the app and have since gone with another that works much better. Don’t waste your time in contacting the publisher as I emailed them weeks ago and never received a reply.

No longer works on my enterprise account

I can no longer access the app with my university or CMA membership account. Easy enough to switch to other resources like Lexicomp or UpToDate, although they are unfortunately more US focused.

Disappointed and frustrated

I’ve been using RxTx for years, and found the mobile app convenient for quick checks in the med room. Useful and informative.

Now it’s all gone with 6.1 update. Restriction to individual subscription voids my access as an enterprise account. Incredibly frustrating, to put it lightly! I loathe that an update as limiting as 6.1 can be auto-updated in the background. I loathe whoever at this corp gave the go-ahead. It is unprofessional, full stop.

Worked just fine until the 6.1 version came then it is just a POS

I was using the RxTx app since Sept 2018 til June 2019 using the 6.0 version. For the reference I was using an enterprise account purchased by the nursing home I work at. It worked perfectly and it was awesome until 6.1 came along. The new version restricted access to only individuai subscription only, meaning if you are using an enterprise account, you are screwed. Such a stupid decision to restrict access from CPhA. They think if you are a student, health care professional, etc, that are sharing an enterprise account, you are not worthy of a customer as individual based account or something.
Needless to say, I deleted this RxTx app. As a NH, we purchase RxTx subscription because we have to, not because we see value in it. Lexicom is way better.

Thanks

Download

The cps will not download.

Very difficult to search by generics

I should not be surprised but I thought the generic would have improved! They should learn from the British National Formulary design!

Usefulness

-not helpful if brand name product no longer is listed on CPS. You cannot find any medical information on the generic product even you search by the chemical name. This is a problem when so many drugs are generics.

-also a lot of common medical conditions are not available

Rxtx problem

I have RxTx Mobile on my iPhone 6s and it used to work well. Now it won’t load no matter how long I wait. Even when I delete it and then download it from the cloud.

Pretty good

Decent app, good design, but lacking information that can be found on the desktop website

Where is CTC

Love the app layout but they need to add CTC
