### 1/5 — Incorrect brand-generic conversions

*2019-11-27*

Searching and tapping unasyn opens amifostine instead of unasyn. 
Thankfully this was caught.

Edit: search “keppra” and the incorrect generic “lacosamide” comes up. This app is untrustworthy and can longer be used as reference.

**Developer response:** We apologize for any inconvenience caused.  We have resolved the issue. Please force close of the app and relaunch.  If you are still having an issue, please contact our support department at support@skyscape.com.

### 5/5 — Drugs are current and updated

*2019-08-06*

The drug database updates with the actual publishers content. Peace of mind when dealing with newly approved FDA medications.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your 5 star rating, please do not hesitate to reach out to us (support@skyscape.com) if you need any assistance or have questions.

### 1/5 — Unreasonable full access price.

*2017-11-25*

This app would be great if it wasn’t overpriced. $49.99 seems unreasonably high.

**Developer response:** The pricing is in line with the publisher and other sellers of this resource.
