### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-07-22*

Great app. Really helpful interaction checker that’s easy to use and way faster than flipping pages in the book. Love that vet students get use it for free, and definitely think I’ll subscribe after school. 

Only complaint is that I wish I could highlight sentences in the monographs like I can in the physical copy of plumbs. The notes are ok, but don’t replace a good ole highlighter.

### 5/5 — Authentic resource

*2026-05-30*

Reliable and trustworthy resource.

### 5/5 — Super helpful!

*2025-08-18*

This app has made my life so much easier because you can quickly look up dosages, drug overdoses, drug interaction etc so fast! You can also find client handouts which helps a ton. Two huge thumbs up!

### 1/5 — Signing in

*2025-06-01*

After I downloaded the app it’s asking me to login, when I need to sign up first  even though there is no sign up option. 😡

### 2/5 — Impossible to get an answer from Support

*2025-03-30, version 2025.3.0*

The app is good, but I have been trying to get an answer from the support center since january.

### 5/5 — Love Plumbs

*2025-03-12*

Excellent resource, use it multiple times every day.

### 3/5 — Disappointed - Careful before purchasing!

*2024-07-11, version 2024.6.0*

I just got Plumb's hoping it would be super complete and it is not. I feel tricked as we do not have the option to try Plumb's beforehand; so just got it trusting "it's popularity". I tried to unsubscribe immediately as soon as I saw it was not what I expected, but couldn't. 
The company does NOT give the option. So, now I'm stuck having to pay almost 80 dollars/month FOR A WHOLE YEAR!! I am forced to have a product that is not worth it (missing proper tools for daily vets). It is truly disappointing and feels like a really unfair practice.
