### 4/5 — Great except for spell checking

*2026-02-26, version 7.12.1.1713*

The system changes anything you input to a common word no matter what you try

### 3/5 — No vitamins

*2024-02-02, version 7.11.2.1670*

Sorry, no vitamin information. I had to cancel

### 4/5 — Very Useful but I do Have Some Questions

*2021-12-24, version 7.2.5.1412*

I have been using this app for quite a while and really liked it. But I am wondering what is the difference between the silver membership and gold membership? Also, why are there 2 items listed for each membership (there are 2 gold, 2 silver and 2 bronze listed for subscription in Apple Store), are those duplicates or completely different memberships? Thank you!

### 4/5 — Iraq

*2021-12-18, version 7.2.5.1412*

Thank you

### 3/5 — What happened?

*2021-07-27, version 7.2.5.1412*

I have received complimentary access to MPR since I was a medical student over 20 years ago. First to the periodical and then to the app. I updated my app and all the sudden I have to pay? I thought the ads by the pharmaceutical companies underwrite the physician access. Disappointed to say the least. Had been a big fan all these years.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2021-02-24, version 6.23.5.1284*

I use it every day for my medications references. Is an excellent app. Thank you!

### 5/5 — MPR

*2020-10-24, version 6.23.5.1284*

My MPR stopped working even though updated

### 5/5 — MPR

*2020-10-12, version 6.23.5.1284*

This app is very helpful. I loved the printed books though esp when they were small enough to fit in our pockets.  Hope these will make a comeback.

### 5/5 — Reliable source

*2020-09-21, version 6.23.5.1284*

I am a pharmacist and nothing is more convenient and fast to consult MPR. The information it provides is excellent.

### 5/5 — Pharmacist

*2020-09-15, version 6.23.5.1284*

Using MPR hourly! Awesome site!!

### 1/5 — Not impressed

*2024-10-28, version 7.11.2.1670*

Should be free

### 1/5 — Plans’ Descriptions are Non-existent!

*2022-12-25, version 7.7.2.1571*

Lots of information provided but nothing describes the differences in the plans, why there are two different prices for Silver, $24.99 and $29.99, or two different prices for Gold, $34.99 sand $39.99. I’ve searched the App Store and Haymarket Media on my PC but I cannot find that information. It’s a great product that I’ve used for 24 years but I don’t understand why they are not providing the information for their different plans.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2022-05-16, version 7.4.0.1454*

After working fine for a few weeks now it booted me out and I can’t log back in despite paying a year’s subscription I cant even reset my password. Either they are having major issues in which case you shouldn’t buy it or it’s a rip off and again you shouldn’t buy it.

### 1/5 — Outrageous fees

*2022-02-09, version 7.2.5.1412*

I have to admit, I used to love using this app for quick references, now they decided to charge for using the  app, when you have  advertising, the users should not have to pay, the PDR app is more comprehensive and accurate, loving using the free app

### 1/5 — App was free now it’s $35

*2021-12-28, version 7.2.5.1412*

This app was free for years for basic prescribing info. Now it’s $35 a year (on sale!). No thanks.

### 1/5 — Way Overpriced

*2021-11-04, version 7.2.5.1412*

Went from free to bend over, this is administered PR. Come on !!! Charge a reasonable amount. Just don’t like being 
gouged.

### 1/5 — Overpriced

*2021-09-23, version 7.2.5.1412*

This was a great free app I recommended to all my colleagues and residents. Now it’s no longer free and massively overpriced for the changes they’re proposing—and not only do they now expect you to pay, you have to pay extra for anything not the basics. No ads isn’t worth $35 a year. Sorry, but time for me to delete this app.

### 1/5 — Free—-why is it no longer a free app?

*2021-09-20, version 7.2.5.1412*

Why is this app no longer free?

### 1/5 — You have to pay for this?!

*2021-09-07, version 7.2.5.1412*

Stupid!!! You can get a free magazine at the doctor’s office

### 1/5 — Best to worst?! No occasional use option.

*2021-07-26, version 7.2.5.1412*

I loved it— used it for over a decade here and there. As a specialist, I don’t have to use a ton of Rx, but I had a list of favorites I’d have to refresh on 2-3x year. Today, my app was completely gone bc they want money based on a tiered system now?! I’m not paying $12.00 to look up something for 2 minutes twice a year. I will switch apps. Sad— this company used to be great but they’ve made it so occasional use is no longer practical with the fees.

### 5/5 — Review

*2024-04-05, version 7.11.2.1670*

Extremely helpful

### 5/5 — Best reference for prescribing.

*2023-12-05, version 7.11.2.1670*

Best Reference for prescribing

### 5/5 — Good info, much better than the PDR app.

*2023-08-24, version 7.10.1.1640*

This is my absolute go to for good drug information, but agree with other reviewers that drug interaction info would be helpful. Also hard to find information on old drugs that have been out forever, but are still prescribed.

### 5/5 — Clear and concise

*2023-01-07, version 7.7.2.1571*

I used this grub app whenever in clinic seeing patients. It helps me find answers to questions that I have for a particular drug and guide me quickly in the prescription process. I frequently turn to the app to safely prescribe medications for my patients

### 5/5 — Enrique Rueds

*2022-11-21, version 7.5.0.1515*

Very practical and easy to navégate
Concise and practical

### 5/5 — Forget it

*2022-02-01, version 7.2.5.1412*

Charging new fees for a service that is widely available elsewhere for no charge seems ludicrous and a betrayal to those of us who have found it convenient to use in the past. 

Price gouging at its worst.

### 5/5 — MD. Every time I check  update I learn new news  I really enjoy this for uptodate knowledge

*2021-12-19, version 7.2.5.1412*

This wonderful easy fast medical article research related on going medical knowledge

### 5/5 — Reference

*2021-10-22, version 7.2.5.1412*

Really like this reference and very easy to access as a phone app. Very disappointed that they started charging for it; and expensive as well.

### 5/5 — MPR

*2021-03-28, version 7.0.2.1329*

So helpful!
