### 4/5 — Needs up dating

*2022-07-13, version 2.4.0*

### 4/5 — Vel3796

*2022-06-09, version 2.4.0*

### 4/5 — Needs to be current

*2022-02-14, version 2.4.0*

As a clinical social worker I use the app often especially when out in the field.  However it should be updated more often to keep current with new medications as they are introduced.

### 3/5 — Update please

*2020-10-04, version 2.4.0*

Love the app but doesn’t appear to have been updated in a year or two. Becoming less helpful in my practice

### 3/5 — No off-label meds listed

*2020-09-14, version 2.4.0*

Medications, such as anticonvulsants, that have common off-label psychiatric uses are not listed and there doesn’t seem to be a way to add them, even in a note. That’s a serious limitation.

### 3/5 — Update drug info?

*2020-07-18, version 2.4.0*

I looked up Trintellix an SSRI forMajor Depressive Disorder, but it wasn’t there. I googled it instead. Would like the app to have drug updates, otherwise I really like the app.  I have used it often with clients but without updates I will hesitant.

*2026-08-02, version 3.0.2*

What has happened to this app. It was free listed medications now you pay pay pay. Seems like another one to delete.

*2026-07-15, version 3.0.0*

This was my go to app since it’s inception now… I’m deleting it. Them saying “rebuilt from the ground up” means they make you pay for it now. They sold out

I just “updated” the app which rendered it absolutely useless without a subscription.

### 1/5 — Faulty

*2026-06-05, version 2.4.0*

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Useful. Wish it would come back.

*2025-10-04, version 2.4.0*

I’ve used this app for years and still check back on the App Store in the hope that it’s magically been updated. Even the current, not updated, state this app is useful. Many clients are not prescribed newer meds due to cost etc. It’s helpful to be able to get quick info in sessions about client’s meds, med changes etc. This app is great for that.
