### 4/5 — Amazing app

*2015-01-29*

I'm in my 3rd semester in an ADN program and I really wish I bought this app sooner. The book is helpful but the app is even more convenient since you can just carry your phone with you in clinical and don't have to worry about losing your book or having to carry it around. 
I gave this app 4 stars because I wish there was some sort of categories for physical, psychosocial, and educational nursing diagnoses. 
But other than that it's wonderful and I would strongly suggest purchasing this app! Hopefully the developers make those categories (:

### 4/5 — Nice care plan app.

*2014-11-08*

It cost $40 to get all of the content of this app, which is about the same as an actual care plan book.  Just wish it had the rationales listed.  Not a bad purchase, but is should be a bit cheaper given it doesn't include as much information as a book would.

### 1/5 — I have regrets

*2022-11-15*

Costs too much

### 1/5 — The screens are all blank

*2019-07-14*

The screens are all blank

**Developer response:** It sounds like your device may have received an incomplete download of the content, which can happen if there is an interruption to the internet connection during the initial download. We recommend deleting the Nurse's Pocket Guide app, then redownloading it from the App Store, making sure your device has a strong internet connection. It should then provide you with the options to sign in, preview, or buy.

### 1/5 — This app is too expensive!

*2019-05-02*

This app is too expensive and the fact that it is a subscription app makes it a total rip-off to nursing students struggling to make ends meet while in school. I do not recommend at all.

### 1/5 — Beware!

*2017-06-26*

I purchased two apps from them thinking they are a company that would keep up with the apps but noticed my nursing dx app will no longer function with newer ios updates. Long story short they say it is apple that will be making the app useless, but they removed it. Will not be purchasing an app from them anymore or any app developer unless they have a proven track record of keeping the apps running smooth with newer operating systems. Really upset that I spent close to 70 and wont be able to use it if I update to ios 11.

### 1/5 — Product does not work

*2014-07-10*

Product does not open and is not functional . Horrible horrible app. Make it right publisher, it's not nice to mess with nurses !

### 1/5 — Pay to see

*2013-12-14, version 1.3*

To must pay for the app to get information.

### 2/5 — Free version insufficient

*2020-09-24*

The free version was not sufficient enough for me to determine that the app was worth buying

**Developer response:** We appreciate you taking the time to download the application and try the preview.  We continue to work on all of our apps and would be very interested to hear your thoughts.  Please contact our Support team at your convenience to let us know your thoughts.  Our Support team is available via email, phone, and LiveChat.

### 2/5 — No support from unbound

*2014-03-15*

I own the previous version of this app which was revised to provide better graphics (same content). Unbound is saying I have to repurchase the app if I want to benefit from the newer version or upgrade my nursing central app. Really?? Very disappointed with unbound medicine. I do not ecommend this purchase.

### 3/5 — Ameliorations needed

*2013-12-05*

Should contain définition And symptomes for each medical diagnoses

This app is a must for any nurse or nursing student. It saves time and is an excellent resource for writing patient care plans.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much! We love to hear about customers putting our products to good use.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2017-05-25*

Great at helping me write care plans for school and also helping me understand some of the underlying patho behind certain diseases.

### 5/5 — Well worth the investment

*2015-12-01*

This is one of those apps that is more of an investment rather than simply a purchase. The information is detailed and thorough and more than I anticipated. It's not cheap, relative to the usual cost of a typical app, but what you get is invaluable to the nursing student, like myself, and to the practicing professional. I anticipate using this app well after graduation in a couple of months.
