Not a useful app for nursing school

I bought this because I’m going through nursing school and thought it would be a good resource. This book doesn’t have a lot of the medications we encounter in school. An even bigger concern is the medications they do have are listed with the same side effects. You can’t determine what side effects some medications have because they list all of the same stuff for each drug. When you leave a bad review all that’s asked is “can you send us a message with what we can improve on?” even if it’s in the review. This app is hardly updated. I don’t recommend this app for those going through school.

This App is missing so many drugs

When I initially looked at this app I didn’t read many reviews. I wish I had because there are reviews on this app saying they are missing drugs from years ago. The developer even replied saying they are working on it. I wasn’t able to find ANY antibiotics I needed to research. This app costs $25 and it seems like I have wasted my money. Update: as you can see the developer replied with a generic reply. The drugs this app does have doesn’t have all the info a nurse or nursing student would need for the drug. They have certain adverse reactions in bold but fail to tell you what that designation means. They also list every, single reaction this could possibly have without clueing you in to the most common.

Not worth the money

Does not have complete list of drugs. The first day I used it I needed to look up a drug. Was not listed in generic or brand name. It’s not reliable

I thought it was going to be great.

I did a free trial and ended up subscribing because I am in nursing school, and it worked great for me when I used it to look up meds for my Pharm class, but when I got to clinicals, I noticed so many meds were missing. Almost every other med I would try to search for wouldn’t pop up, brand and generic names. I was trying to avoid spending a ton of money on a drug book (I’m poor, okay, nursing school is expensive, lol), so I paid the $25 for the subscription.. yes I know that’s not a lot, but now I still need to spend money on a drug book lol. Oh well, I will still be using it for the meds it does have because it happens to have a good layout and good info.

This is quite extensive, but…

Can I ask why the “Drug Administration” sections that are in the book are not on the app? I wanted to know, because it seems like a vital part new nurses or nursing students should have access to.

Thank you for your feedback. The “Drug Administration” section is included in the app under the “Nursing Considerations” section. Please email us at support@atmoapps.com if you have any additional questions or concerns.

Quite impressive

An easy to navigate app and full of information. However, I noticed that the newer medications used to treat HC/BV are not included. I suspect that other medications are remiss, too. The HC/BV medications are important as they are prescribed more and more in non-specialty settings. Two thumbs up, but more effort to include more medications is needed!

Search

It used to be easier to search a drug and find all the information. Now it is difficult!

Doesn’t tell what I need!

It isn’t bad but it’s missing things like how the drug is supplied. Which is kinda needed for what I’m doing. Also side effects is kinda needed. Especially the most common ones.

Can not manage subscription

This is an ok app but don’t get the “free trail” as you can easily manage the subscription. I have been trying for months to find the auto renewal feature to turn off as I don’t want to pay for another year but I can not find it

Missing common drugs

Missing common drugs needed for nursing school. There is already a new 2021 handbook published but where are the updates to the app?? If it’s faster to publish and distribute a whole new book then that takes away half of the reason for an app. The only reason for an app is it’s handheld convenience but again, it’s not that convenient if you’re missing common medications.

Missing simple drugs

Missing basic drugs for med-surg! Not helpful for nursing students.

Please more drugs!!!

You are missing medications that I commonly use in the ICU. Etomodate, precidex, ketamine. None are in the app. I would also appreciate a way to look drugs up by category, like typing in benzodiazepines, and seeing all those drugs in that category. Thank you

Application configuration error

“Application configuration error” every time I try to open the app. This app only worked for the first few weeks that I had it. I regret paying for it.
