‏I bought this application from the Apple Store for $169.99 yesterday, I logged out of the application and when I registered again, the application did not open completely, but only opened the free part. So please help restore the application

**Developer response:** Thank you for reaching out to us. It sounds like you may be caught in the app's Preview mode. You can fix this in one of two ways: 1. Delete the app, reinstall, and when you open the app select "Restore Purchase."  2. Instead of deleting, from the home screen select the menu in the upper left corner (the horizontal lines). From the menu, select "Restore" and follow the steps onscreen. 

If you have any problems please contact our Support team and we will be happy to help:

### 5/5 — 5MCC is my go-to resource

*2024-12-29*

I have been using 5MCC since grad school - and it continues to serve me in my residency as a new FNP. The ease of use along with the completeness of the info make it invaluable. I would be lost without it!!!

Update 12/30/2024: completed FNP residency and now in my first FNP role at a FQHC. 5MCC is still my go-to clinical resource. The format and ease of use make this app invaluable. As a busy clinician, there is often not enough time to look up current treatment guidelines, ddx, hx, etc —but with 5MCC I can pop onto 5MCC and get the info I need at a glance. And, I can always go deeper with the provided resources. Highly recommend!!!

**Developer response:** Update 1/2/25:  Hello and congratulations on completing residency and your new position! Thank you so much for the update and for your positive words about 5MCC. We love hearing it is still your go-to clinical resource and that you find it useful in practice just as you did in residency. Nothing makes us happier to hear - thank you very much for your continued support and best of luck in your new role! Keep in touch!

### 5/5 — 5MCC is my go-to resource

*2022-10-23, version 1.17*

I have been using 5MCC since grad school - and it continues to serve me in my residency as a new FNP. The ease of use along with the completeness of the info make it invaluable. I would be lost without it!!!

**Developer response:** We're happy to hear you've found the app to be a valuable resouce throughout grad school and into your career. It is definitely helpful to have this tool at your fingertips and carry with you as your go to resource. All the best to you in your residency!

### 5/5 — Worth every penny

*2018-01-31*

I check this app regularly to help manage patients. Always learn something new.

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY

*2016-11-01*

Unbound Medicine will not allow you to transfer your purchases or subscriptions to a new iPhone or device. They also refuse to give you any of the non-updated content that you purchased in the past because they want to lock you in to yearly subscriptions. Horrible Customer Service. Rating changed from 5 stars many years ago to 0 stars now.

### 1/5 — WARNING: not HIPAA certified

*2015-03-07*

DO NOT USE. This app's not HIPAA compliant.

### 5/5 — Great Respurce

*2013-08-27*

Love this app...as an ARNP I access this for information all the time. I choose this over epocrates premium.

### 5/5 — Best

*2013-08-25*

Perfection!!!!!!!!!!
