Must Have An Account

I am looking for the free trial version to see if this is an app that I will be able to use. I am unable to see a sample of the information and when I tried to contact the developer, it requires me to create an account. I do not know if I want an account. I don’t want an account if it is not a product that will not meet my needs. I’m not willing to create an account until I know if this is something I will purchase. I’d like to see a sample of the information and understand how the app works!

Please contact support@skyscape.com so that we can assist you with this issue. You should be able to download from the APP Store and have 10% of the content available to view. There is a section under the TOC for the free content.

a little generic for price

the layout is not conducive to learning medications with trade and generic names. Seems very basic for how much I paid.

The best nursing drug guide

This Davis’s Nursing Guide is so helpful. It has all the drugs listed that I searched for and each drug topic has detailed information, built in drug calculators, nursing implications, etc.. I have a couple of other Nursing apps from Skyscape including IV Medications by Gahart and a Lab Diagnosis app and all very useful! Love the format and ease of use too!

Thank you for your find review, we are happy to know this resource has been a positive help to you.

unable to enlarge text

I love how much easier it is to navigate the information, but I bought the app because the hard copy is so difficult to read. Unfortunately there is now way to enlarge the texton the app. My computer wont enlarge or zoom it either, which has never happened to me before. The text is extremly small. Maybe size 10 font.
