### 1/5 — Waste of Money - Horrible Useless App

*2020-12-14*

Presentation is horrible - looks like it was done by a child. There is little information about the drugs to be useful for a veterinarian to use.

**Developer response:** We are sorry this resource did not meet your needs.  We hope you contacted support@skyscape.com so that they could correct the issue
