They want you to pay for another subscription. Maybe it’s me but this has happened on two different phones. ### 5/5 — Jane *2022-10-17, version 6.4.0.539* Very thorough. Gives the information needed for a nurse to safely administer meds. Includes IV incompatibilities . Compared with other ‘nursing’ drug handbooks, this one is far better than Lippincotts! ### 4/5 — Wish you could sort your bookmarks *2022-07-05, version 6.3.1.527* I think this app is great but it would be awesome if you could move and sort bookmarked meds. ### 5/5 — Great pocket guide *2022-04-27, version 6.3.0.521* I have found no info out of date on this app ### 1/5 — Exiting app *2022-04-18, version 6.3.0.521* I paid too much for this app for it to exit me out while I’m trying to type a medication name in. ### 3/5 — They need and update *2022-03-25, version 6.2.0.518* It’s quick and convenient but they need an update. Too many errors and wrong information. For example I go check for Furrous Sulfate and the class is Antiemtic ???it’s suppose to be Blood former/Coagulator ### 3/5 — Short comings are becoming evident *2022-02-06, version 6.1.0.487* 1. The product can only be used on my apple account; therefore, I am unable to access the product on my laptop through an internet portal. Such as that offered at Davis’s drugguide.com - Note, subscription to this app, does not provide membership to other Davis’s drug guide resources. 2. Product is missing drug classifications. Ex. Antacids ### 5/5 — Great Resource for nursing school *2022-01-17, version 6.1.0.487* I bought this app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Charged Immediately *2026-08-24, version 7.0.12.828* Might be a good app, but automatically charged my card for a full year ($42) when I clicked the “Try free for 14 days” button. Tried to cancel the subscription, but the only option was to cancel renewal for the next year. Feel like I got duped, so however good the app is, it gets a 1 star for dishonesty and trickery. ### 1/5 — I don’t. *2026-03-04, version 6.9.0.602* Like being asked to write reviews. ### 1/5 — Nobody should have to pay an annual subscription to retain access one book *2026-01-10, version 6.8.1.591* It’s an example of how we exploit each other even as we lament being exploited by larger corporate interests. ### 1/5 — Y site comparability *2025-07-23, version 6.7.3.579* Where is the y site comparability chart? ### 1/5 — Free trail? *2025-04-20, version 6.7.3.579* Where is this free trail? I downloaded the app and any I click on ask me to pay for a subscription. Haven’t been able to preview anything. ### 1/5 — APP NOT WORKING *2024-04-01, version 6.5.1.551* when you change your phone, you will never use it again. I tried to reach out to customer service but no response at all. ### 1/5 — Can’t cancel subscription *2024-03-07, version 6.5.1.551* I used this app for several years while in nursing school and it was great. I no longer need it with a new job, but am unable to cancel the renewal. ### 1/5 — Keeps shutting down *2024-02-09, version 6.5.1.551* Everytime I try to open it the thing won’t open and shuts down. It’s quite annoying!! ### 1/5 — They do not honour their purchase contract *2023-12-08, version 6.5.1.551* I had purchased this app over ten years ago when it first came out it was a one time purchase for life. Recently they updated their app, and now they have removed the app and their update is a yearly subscription for $50plus. Once I contacted customer service their reply was. I could sign up and have a two week free trial. This is literally stealing from their customers as I had purchased the app to own, and now once they updated it they no longer let me have access to the old app that I had initially purchased. This has left quite a sour feeling as this company knowingly is selling apps that they will not abide by their original contract. I am but one simple nurse. Absolutely unprofessional customer service, and now I don’t have access to the Davis drug guide that I purchased. They literally stole the app from my phone. ### 1/5 — Unable to access *2023-06-02, version 6.4.0.539* I have had this app for several months and only been able to access twice. I am a hospital nurse and was looking forward to having more info than our hospital site gives. The 2 times I got on it was great. I have contacted the app a couple of times to try to resolve the issue with no good help. Super bummed I wasted $40. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My go too *2026-07-01, version 6.9.1.605* I’ve been using Davis Drug Guide for nurses since I was in nursing school in 2016. It’s carried me through all my years as a nurse and now going into my years as a nurse practitioner. It’s very helpful easy to use. I recommend it to anybody wherever they are in their career. ### 5/5 — Useful *2026-06-14, version 6.9.0.602* Better than the provided micromedix ### 5/5 — The Guide You Need *2026-03-16, version 6.9.0.602* Almost every medication you might run into is right here at your fingertips. When you don’t have time to rummage through the book or a newer medication isn’t in there, it’s here! The app is simple to use and you can save the medications you run into the most. I use this app every day and I love it! It’s worth the price, I promise! ### 5/5 — New nurse *2025-12-26, version 6.8.1.591* Quick , easy, accurate !!! All the things a new nurse needs. I can access information very quickly , it’s easy to use the app and it’s very accurate . ### 5/5 — Ease of use *2024-07-13, version 6.6.1.565* I am currently enrolled in nursing school and the ease to find all of the information for every medication is so helpful! I used to use google to help me find all of the information on drugs and medications and this app cut down half the time it took for me to search on google. It is a really good app! ### 5/5 — Amazing reference for nursing school! *2024-07-12, version 6.6.1.565* This is a wonderful reference for nursing students, has everything you need for your drug cards ! ### 5/5 — Nursing school’s dream!! *2023-01-24, version 6.4.0.539* This is going to help me out so much in my last message from Nursing School!! I wish I would’ve download this along time ago! Thanks for making it so affordable! Sincerely, Nurse in the making Danyesa ### 5/5 — Very good for newly qualified nurses to learn *2022-10-29* I like using this app **Developer response:** Thank you for your review, we’re glad to hear that you enjoy using the app! ### 5/5 — Davis Drug Book app review *2022-10-25, version 6.4.0.539* It is a helpful resource that I can review in my time of need. Sometimes I just refresh my medical material so I won't forget. It is a helpful tool. I love it. ### 5/5 — Greatest *2022-10-22, version 6.4.0.539* Great --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
