Missing some meds

I just subscribed to SAMF. I had a case of hypertensive emergency and couldn’t find clevidipine in the database. However, I found it on EMGuidance, which is free. Quite disappointing!

Excellent app

Always up to date and accurate information

App doesn’t open or work

I literally had to pay R100 to use the app and it didn’t even work. So I paid for nothing. When it has to open it say “Error”

App doesn’t work

Downloaded app, registered and payed for year subscription… afterward content couldn’t download and gave error. Tried deleting and reinstalling, but did not work. Payed for unusable app.

Doesnt work

Tried to register and choose a plan, every time i select a plan it closes the app on iOS. Needs to be fixed

App doesn’t work with iOs

I was excited to pay & subscribe today hoping the app glitches would have been sorted out. Sadly, the app just keeps on crashing and closing when choosing a subscription option. Really disappointing. I’m using an iPhone iOs 18.2.1

Expensive

I think in the future SAMF should consider making this app free for those who bought the physical copy of the book. It’s too expensive to be paying for both

Does not work

I use iOS 17.5.1 and the app does not work, it just keeps sending me back and forth to the login & subscription pages even though I’m subscribed.

Trustworthy info

Takes some time to get used to the app, but love having the info at my finger tips.

Useless App

This App is a waste of money and time. User interface is buggy and slow. Cannot open most drugs. Searching for Voltaren only brings up topic treatment for eyes. Searching for Prednisone brings up long list but tapping on Prednisone brings no result. The developers must go back to drawing board.

Great to have but glitchy

App and Website (on iPhone) has been glitchy. Some drugs won’t open, can’t close the drop down menu with the “x” (on the website). Better and more authoritative content than EMGuidance but too glitchy.

Extermely useless app

The search function has absolutely no use: you can search for a drug but that is it. You cannot click on the available options. I end up using google instead. To make it worse: you have to PAY for this rubbish.

Failure to log on

I downloaded the app and subscribed on my iphone using my apple ID, 80rand was deducted from my bank account but when i try to log on the samf app, it keeps asking me to subscribe again. Please can you help me sort this out asap

App doesn’t work

Downloaded the app, completed registration, chose payment plan, then nothing. Can’t use the app. Every time I attempt to login it wants me to choose a payment plan again. But I can’t get further than that. Hope I am not going to get billed.

Missing an index

Oddly, the app doesn’t provide for the way that most clinicians use the paperback SAMF: scrolling through the alphabetical list of drug names and then going to the page with all the relevant prescribing information for the particular drug…
The app seems to be set up as a crash-course in pharmacy… only useful if you are looking for a crash-course in pharmacy…

Subscription

Why are subscriptions only applicable to IOS?
