Needs better update

The most recent update messed up the font sizing and format. Now it’s very awkward font size and difficult to read. Please fix this and update the anti-biotic guide.
JJWR65

Needs daily max dosages

Good app, but lacks some clarifying information like daily max dosages and pregnancy ratings.
AAHHA1977

4yrs no updates with annual fee?

No update in 4 years and they still collect an anual fee! At this point I’m sure they are thinking why even bother if people keep paying. Pretty scummy to be honest.
ROReview Owl

Why is there a fee with no updates?

The app is useful, but why is there an annual fee even though there have been no recent updates?
BBigjakeyK

Poor for updates

No new updates and the antibiogram is terrible on iPhone if and when it works
