My country Djibouti is not on the iTunes list, so even when I add my debit card as another country it’s not working. Almost every app has a website where we can make payment without having to pass through apple. And Apple if you’re seeing this… Do better. ### 1/5 — Used to be amazing, subscription models are terrible *2024-08-19, version 1.037* I would be okay if given the option for just buying the app and even fewer features for just buying one but I am not paying another subscription. We need to teach companies and apps we will not keep this subscription model as a viable business model. ### 1/5 — Great until *2024-08-05, version 1.037* They started charging. It was a lousy app to begin with but it was useful and they decided to start charging for it. Well, eat dirt. ### 3/5 — No longer free *2024-07-30, version 1.037* Meh, just like everything else, they now charge to use. Looking for other options now. ### 2/5 — Bummed *2024-07-23, version 1.037* I used this app everyday. But now I can’t even access it without paying for the subscription. I unfortunately had to delete the app :( ### 1/5 — Paid subscription!! *2024-07-20, version 1.037* Unfortunately they ruined the application ### 1/5 — Not worth the fee *2024-07-17, version 1.037* They got greedy with the fee after all this time ### 1/5 — Cant use the app without subscription *2024-06-26, version 1.037* Cant use the app without subscription ### 2/5 — Amazing but not anymore *2024-06-23, version 1.037* I have had this app for over a year and have found it extremely useful. It gives great guidance and information for the medications I encounter. However, the last update now charges a yearly subscription? It’s obnoxious everyone is implementing subscriptions models to their apps. Just make it a paid app or a lifetime purchase instead of one year. I understand it costs money to develop and keep the app up to date, but even a warning ahead of time before it’s implemented would have been fine. ### 3/5 — Not worth paid version *2024-06-23, version 1.037* App was free for many years and was pretty decent. New update makes you subscribe and nothing changed. Antiquated design and features on app do not justify a hefty yearly subscription. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Shame *2026-05-11, version 3.000* Shame on you for making it a paid membership content app. I loved this and recommend it to everyone but ads at the bottom were not enough for you so now everything is paid content. ### 1/5 — Now you have to pay monthly? No thanks *2025-12-22, version 2.005* I used to use this app all of the time. I loved it. I downloaded the update and now you have to pay a monthly fee for certain scripts. Unfortunate as I found it easy to use. Good thing I have a cheap and more comprehensive manual for any scripts I need to write that I can’t remember specific info on ### 1/5 — DO NOT Update! *2025-02-28, version 2.001* In previous versions of the app, I could use it with ads; but with the new update, it forces me to purchase the ad-free version. That’s disappointing! ### 1/5 — DISHONEST DEVELOPER *2025-02-26, version 2.001* STAY FAR AWAY. Have used app for years and woke up the other day and I couldn’t use it without paying. The shear arrogance of the developer is astounding. It’s the principle of being honest and open and communicating to your customers what your plans are without making changes that affect everyone who previously downloaded your app. Every single user you had for the last 9 years helped you get to where you are in terms of ranking on the App Store and you are taking advantage of all those users. 😊 that is dishonest. Having a good app that USED TO BE FREE and then flipping the script and charging is not honest. ### 1/5 — Scam! Stay away! *2025-02-24, version 2.001* Updated app and now I have to pay! No notice of upcoming changes, nothing! Very dishonest. STAY AWAY! ### 1/5 — Not free anymore *2025-02-22, version 2.001* This was a descent app but its still basic and no longer free ### 1/5 — Started to cost yearly fee *2024-12-26, version 1.037* I used this app for a long time but stopped since the yearly fee update. I might use it again if it was a one time fee for around 1.99 to 2.99 but not a yearly plan needed ### 1/5 — Can’t use the app *2024-10-14, version 1.037* U should pay yearly subscription to use the app completely!! It’s was free ### 1/5 — Start to pay? *2024-09-03, version 1.037* I don’t like you put a yearly subscription after it was used for free for years ### 1/5 — Inaccurate Information *2024-08-26, version 1.037* The protocols have since changed for a few years now regarding antibiotic of choice for prophylaxis. Clindamycin is no longer recommended as an alternative to penicillins due to risk of C diff infection. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very useful *2025-09-08, version 2.005* Very useful app , i hope you add more medicines , because the one available are not the only ones for dentistry .. also please add more emergencies and how to deal with them , basically make it also help us with systemic diseases and problems , etc… ### 5/5 — Also add one time purchase option. *2025-07-30, version 2.005* It was very good and free, then it got updated to paid version. It’s okay, I want to support, but not with a monthly subscription. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-07-28, version 2.005* As a dentist, this is an amazing resource, and I love the recent update ### 5/5 — Good app *2025-06-29, version 2.005* Very helpful, thank you ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2025-03-23, version 2.002* As a student this application is awesome ### 5/5 — A Must-Have App for Dentists! *2025-02-21, version 2.001* This is hands down the best app for dentists and dental students! The latest update is absolutely amazing, the new layout and design are perfect, making everything even more user-friendly. The addition of the medications feature is a game changer! Honestly, paying just $3 per year for such a valuable app is an absolute steal. Keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — Issue!! *2024-08-19, version 1.037* Yearly subscription isn’t available in my region and when I tried the USA App Store my credit card rejected and declined and I don’t know how to fix that ? Texting you from iraq and hope you will be able to help me, thank you ### 5/5 — Quit complaining *2024-06-15, version 1.037* It’s $3/yr quit complaining ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2024-06-13, version 1.037* Love this app. Use it all the time. Wish it all had meds for patients get nauseous or have a sensitive gag reflex. ### 5/5 — Excelente *2024-05-02, version 1.035* Es una app perfecta, solo falta que la pongan en español !! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
