Why even bother? The desktop version works smoothly, this app just doesn’t work and it’s not optimized / non user friendly. Hopefully an update will be rolled out in the future. ### 1/5 — Downloading…. *2024-11-13* Will not download anything. I’ve already deleted my other app and now I have this just sitting here stuck on the same screen without any progress… ### 1/5 — Impossible to activate with my institutions subscription *2024-11-12, version 1.0* Just stuck on the page that is telling to me activate it. I’ve done it twice and it said it was successful but the app is still on the same page giving me a new code each time i open the app ### 1/5 — Stuck downloading database *2024-11-06, version 1.0* Was excited to see a new Micromedex app since the old ones are ancient with an unfriendly UI. Unfortunately this new app is stuck downloading the database and won’t get past 34%. I know my network is good because I’m at work using the same network to write this review. Bad start when I can’t open the app since it won’t finish retrieving the database. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Old app is better *2025-09-17, version 1.2.1* I have to go to App Store everytime I want to use the app now. It's also not as user friendly as the old app was. ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2025-08-16, version 1.2.1* The older version was much easier to use. To find specific info requires a lot of scrolling. ### 1/5 — Tem que autenticar toda vez que entra *2025-05-13, version 1.2.1* Antes, uma única vez que adicionada a senha, o acesso era liberado, agora toda semana ele pede a senha de novo e mesmo usando a senha fornecida pela instituição, não funciona, da senha incorreta toda vez! ### 1/5 — Cannot activate *2025-03-10, version 1.2.1* Already key in username and password, but it didn’t do anything. It refresh again, and have to do the same thing ### 1/5 — NÃO CONSIGO ENTRAR. NO OUTRO APP TINHA UMA SENHA, NESSE NÃO TEM *2025-03-06, version 1.2.1* Não tem o aplicativo de IV Compatibility para checar incompatibilidades em Y ### 1/5 — Not updated *2025-02-26, version 1.2* Neofax not available in this update. Really difficult for activation and not as user friendly as previously ### 1/5 — Old app was better *2025-02-24, version 1.2* I had 0 problems with the old app and was able to access it whenever I needed to. Now, I have to activate the app EVERY TIME I open it. Which means I am never able to use it, as I am using the mobile version because I am away from my computer. ### 1/5 — Currently useless *2025-02-16, version 1.2* This new app is now useless when one does not have strong connection to the institutional network. Requires “activation” on restarting. Completely defeats the purpose of having a mobile app to improve ease of use by busy clinicians. ### 1/5 — Used to be great, new version is useless *2025-02-16, version 1.2* Why do I have to “activate” my subscription EVERY TIME I open the app? Patient care is suffering because of this. Also, the new format is not easy to navigate. Bring back the old app that actually worked. ### 1/5 — Bad bad bad *2024-12-24, version 1.1* Extremely difficult to use. The old app is much better. ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Old app was better *2025-04-22, version 1.2.1* EDIT: They have fixed the login issue so I’m changing my review to 5 stars!! I had 0 problems with the old app and was able to access it whenever I needed to. Now, I have to activate the app EVERY TIME I open it. Which means I am never able to use it, as I am using the mobile version because I am away from my computer. ### 5/5 — Major improvement of the old apps *2025-01-22, version 1.1* No troubles registering and downloading updates. Love that all modules are now available in one app, including IV compatibility, interactions, and the drug assistant chatbot ### 5/5 — Still the best DI resource *2025-01-22, version 1.1* Great updates to the app! So much easier to use than before but could be even better. That being said, Micromedex is still by far the most comprehensive professional drug information resource, which is why it earns 5 stars, for the content. ### 5/5 — Finally! *2025-01-21, version 1.1* The mobile appS have been an issue for as long as I can remember. Now that everything is consolidated into one app this is a game changer! ### 4/5 — Iv compatibility is lost *2025-04-08, version 1.2.1* Idk. Why my app didn’t have iv compatibility, I deleted and login app again and again but it cannot see iv compatibility. ### 3/5 — ไม่มี ref เพิ่ม *2025-09-28, version 1.2.1* NeoFax และ Pediatric ยังไม่มีรวมในแอพ Micromedex ตามรูปที่ให้อัพเดต ใน store เลย ### 2/5 — Doesn’t include generic name in search or top of monograph *2024-12-30, version 1.1* Needs to include the generic name at the top of the monograph and when searching for brand names. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
