Now it’s very awkward font size and difficult to read. Please fix this and update the anti-biotic guide. ### 4/5 — Needs daily max dosages *2025-02-03, version 1.0.2* Good app, but lacks some clarifying information like daily max dosages and pregnancy ratings. ### 1/5 — 4yrs no updates with annual fee? *2025-01-17, version 1.0.2* 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. ### 3/5 — Why is there a fee with no updates? *2025-01-14, version 1.0.2* The app is useful, but why is there an annual fee even though there have been no recent updates? ### 3/5 — Poor for updates *2024-07-12, version 1.0.2* No new updates and the antibiogram is terrible on iPhone if and when it works ### 4/5 — Cefuroxime axetil is discontinued *2023-11-06, version 1.0.2* Cefuroxime axetil is discontinued in us but still listed as tx for abscess ### 4/5 — Good but needs update *2023-09-19, version 1.0.2* Agree the app needs an update as we are paying an annual fee. I used to buy the print version which was updated annually. The app is good and works well, but if paying an annual fee, needs we should be getting annual updates. Even additional guidance in the information sections would be helpful. ### 1/5 — EMRA *2023-07-10, version 1.0.2* No update in 2 years. But I pay yearly dues for this. It’s easy to use but if they don’t want to update it, I can go to Epocrates or Sanfords. ### 2/5 — No updates! *2023-07-02, version 1.0.2* Paying $10 a year for an app that hasn’t updated the guidelines for the newest hard copy of the guide that has been published. 20th edition is out and still no update on the app. Why pay the fee with no timely updates? ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2023-06-15, version 1.0.2* The tables are very helpful and easy to use. It’s a good quick reference for what you need. Excellent for finding alternatives when patients are allergic to the usual one. Definitely appreciate the pediatric dosing chart. ## Frequently asked questions about EMRA Antibiotic Guide ### What does the EMRA Antibiotic Guide app do?
