Worked well using Google as a front end search engine. For example, seach for "peds uti", which worked through google as did all other partial searches. But, the built in search function is useless. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2023-01-26* I love this app. I recommend it to any new person or season person in their profession. It’s nice to have a quick bulletin to reference from. I use it for quick reference when I’m busy and then later read Up-To-Date for evidence base rational. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review, we appreciate your feedback! ### 5/5 — Great easy resource *2022-12-01, version 3.2.0.580* I’ve used this website for 15+yrs, now the app is my new favorite for clinical answers. Thank You ### 5/5 — Best App *2022-11-16* I’m a new nurse practitioner. This app has the best information. It’s easy to use and understand. I’ve purchased several other expensive apps and databases and this is the one I use daily. I canceled several other subscriptions because this one is so great. There’s even a joke section to keep things light when you need it! **Developer response:** Hi Amber, thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We’re delighted to hear that that app has been so useful to you! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2022-11-11, version 3.1.3.566* I wish I had this app when starting out in medicine ### 5/5 — My hero *2022-05-26, version 3.1.3.566* Scott Moses is my hero. When I was struggling to come up with plans quickly in my 3rd year of medical school internal medicine rounds at University of Washington - FPN came into my life and changed my academic trajectory. Peers wanted to know my secret and attendings said I was obviously reading more and putting in the extra work after hours. FPN carried me through residency and and into my career as a rural doc on the Alaska Kenai Peninsula doing inpatient medicine, ER, endoscopy, and clinical medicine. I admire the man and his work so much, I wrote him a personal email to thank him and he wrote me back and told me to keep an eye out for “cobwebs in the corners” and let him know if I found any! I have been using FPN since 2015 and I can tell you I haven’t. I frequently use UpToDate, Epocrates, and other resources for complex medical cases or questions and in the end FPN is always current and accurate in my broad scope of practice. Not to mention, way faster and easier to use as pocket guide. Whether searching symptoms or medical problems, FPN has an incredibly slick, collapsible, terse format including etiologies, differential diagnosis, workup, and treatment plan. Cheers to you Scott Moses and thank you for this glorious medical repository you have created. Louis Bartoletti, MD ### 5/5 — Best of the Best *2022-03-23* Absolutely the best reference there is, in my opinion. Exceptional. Highly regarded. I use it as reference for pharmacology and physiology. I am a retired Registered Nurse and tutor, on demand, for prospective test takers of the national pharmacy technician certification examination. It is actually the only reference I use. I especially enjoy how it is outlined. Thank you so much. **Developer response:** We’re thrilled that you’re happy with the app! Thank you for your feedback, it is much appreciated! ### 5/5 — Accurate and concise *2022-03-22* This is a terrific resource for nurse practitioners. It quickly allows me to find information and helps me with treatment plans. This is my go-to, most frequently used resource. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review! We’re delighted to hear that the app has been so useful to you! ### 5/5 — Fantastic resource *2021-09-10* Utilized by my family medicine residency program at one of the busiest and largest public hospital systems in the country. All content is up-to-date, accurate, well-sourced, and presented in a concise organized fashion. ### 5/5 — Freezes with every use *2021-04-29* This app used to be great! Recently with use it has been freezing every time or every other time I open it up. **Developer response:** Hello, Please contact our support team at support@atmoapps.com, and we can work with you to find a solution to this issue. ### 5/5 — Amazing and best $20 ever spent!! *2021-04-28* I work as an inpatient medicine PA and I reference this ap multiple times a day. It is an amazing resource and much more concise than uptodate. I also got into on this application when it was free but I was beyond happy to pay $20 when it was started as a subscription. Disappointed to see all the negative reviews just because they want less than $2 a month for these amazing services. I was shocked it was free from the start! Would recommend without hesitation. ### 5/5 — Great app for Nurse Practitioners *2020-12-20* I have tried other medical reference resources, but this has been the best one, by far. And one of the least expensive. This app was recommended to me by a fellow Nurse Practitioner a couple years ago. I use it every day. The information I search for is easy to find, and I appreciate how the app stays updated. For me, one of the best parts, is that I can pull up this app on my MacBook Air, with the new Apple M1 chip. I keep it open, so my resources are immediately available. I recommended it to an NP student, and she finds it helpful. Highly recommend. ### 4/5 — Awesome app *2020-12-09, version 2.4.0.477* Can you add a way for us to get CEU’s for using this? Thank you. ### 5/5 — Stellar! *2020-05-17* Excellent app. Point form, easily searchable, high yield information that actually informs my practice decisions. I’ve used it through residency and fellowship on every rotation, and now in the ER. Highly recommend, worth every penny, especially when considering the cost of other services. ### 5/5 — Awesome reference! *2020-03-04* This is a great reference tool for practice! For all of the users complaining about having to pay a subscription - this is expected with a reference tool that has to be maintained and updated. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review! We are happy to hear that this app has been helpful for you, and we appreciate your understanding of the subscription. Have a great day! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Honest NP *2026-04-18, version 4.1.14.1204* Not the best reference- not accurate by FDA dosing guidelines. Horrible resource ### 1/5 — Theft - false advertisement *2025-02-25* I paid for the app before it was subscription. Then, the developer forced a subscription without notice. This is shady and theft of my original purchase which was advertised as access to data via the iPhone app. I should receive a refund. I don’t care the website is free still. I paid for the app to pull the data from the site for convenience. All users who paid for the app originally should be grandfathered in without this subscription. **Developer response:** Hi, We should clarify that the app has always used a subscription model. In April 2019, we transitioned from an honor-system subscription to the current, required, subscription model. We understand why this change caused frustration with users that were not subscribed. We value all feedback, and we’ll continue working our hardest to ensure the app remains valuable and convenient for all subscribers. -AtmoApps Team ### 1/5 — FP Notebook *2023-07-13, version 3.2.4.600* I have this App in iOS 9 which was working great; however it requests subscription in iOS 16, iPad 16 Really I get disappointed for this change!!!???.. Hopefully you will make free of charge for all people who got this App, long time before. Best wishes ### 1/5 — App stopped working *2021-11-07, version 2.4.0.477* I work as a provider in the ER. I used to use this app but I’ll be finding another. When it was scheduled to review, it stopped working altogether and could not be fixed no matter what I did. Shameful issue for a paid app. Sad day. ### 1/5 — Don’t click on “free trial”. It is not. *2021-03-31, version 2.4.0.477* There is no indication that a purchase is being made. The statement about a free trial prior to purchase are completely misleading. ### 1/5 — Lack of due notice for substantial change *2019-09-17* There are ways to go about starting a subscription service. Forcing a splash screen without disclosure to users, instead just vaguely stating “sdk update” is shady practice. To the developer: read your reply. It doesn’t address my comments. This is not about why you need to move to a subscription service. This is not about the cost. It is how you handled it. What you should do is pull the current version, put the older free version back in the app store, and make an announcement about your intent to charge for subscription on next update. I used to recommend this app to my colleagues, as well as residents and medical students. I don’t feel comfortable recommending it now, after this questionable practice. **Developer response:** Hi, we moved to a subscription model to support the ongoing editorial and development that is necessary to keep the information current, and the app functioning smoothly. If the subscription cost is prohibitive, the website continues to be a free resource for all users. ### 1/5 — What the heck! You guys were the best app *2019-08-11* You guys were the best app on the market before you forced people to pay for subscription with the splash screen. I was advertising for you guys for free with my family and friends until this happened. Can’t believe I have to delete this app after 4-5 years of it having the prime location on my iPhone. Will return once it’s free again. **Developer response:** Hi, we moved to a subscription model to support the ongoing editorial and development that is necessary to keep the information current, and the app functioning smoothly.

It was a good reference, however could have been better. Not worth the subscription. ### 1/5 — Required subscription *2019-07-01, version 2.3.5.451* Used to be great but they now require a subscription. ### 1/5 — Shame on you *2019-06-25, version 2.3.5.451* A monthly subscription? I used to recommend this site, not any more. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-07-05, version 4.2.0.1230* Very straightforward and easy to follow. I can create a differential diagnosis quickly and develop individualized treatment plans. ### 5/5 — Dr *2026-05-20* It is concise, time saving and covers the topic very well. It just needs more timely updates. ### 5/5 — Still the best after 20+ years of using it *2025-01-15, version 4.0.8.1013* Amazing, very succinct, very well thought out ### 5/5 — Simply Incredible *2024-11-01* I have been using FP notebook for years since hearing about it during residency. It’s the work of one physician and it’s incredible the effort that is put into condensing complex topics while including clinical pearls. **Developer response:** Hello KermitZ, Thank you for your thoughtful review.

Perfect for just getting to the heart of those difficult problems encountered in everyday practice, very quickly! Wholeheartedly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **Developer response:** Hi Guru, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are excited that you enjoy using the app! ### 5/5 — An excellent Evidence-Based clinical app for all almost all of my FNP questions and answers. *2023-07-13* app when I was an FNP student and never stop using it in clinic d the app when I was an FNP student and never stop using it in clinic **Developer response:** Hi Leila, thank you for your review! We’re delighted to hear that you find the app so useful! ### 5/5 — LIFE SAVER FOR NPs *2023-07-07* THIS APP IS GOLD. I started as a new NP at an urgent care clinic where I was the only provider. This app saved me time and time again. Fast forward a few years, and this is still my go to. Through my organization, I have access to epocrates, Up to Date, Lexicom, and the NP notebook is still the one I reference more than any other. I literally use it everyday that I work. I like that the guidelines and recommendations are updated throughout the year to reflect the most current best practices. I wouldn’t have survived without this app. The price is a steal and the information is invaluable. I recommend this app to all new NPs (and seasoned) bc the information is current, concise, and backed by scholarly journals. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We’re grateful for your feedback and are committed to keeping the content updated and improving the user experience. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2023-06-26, version 3.2.4.600* Awesome info. Easy to obtain and straight to the point ! Can’t do without it! Thank you all for your hard work and research! ### 5/5 — Diagnostic testing and treatment *2023-03-30, version 3.2.4.600* Can’t imagine having a better tool that is always current. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
