User reviews

Perfect for nursing students

This app is perfectly designed for nursing students. The straightforward terminology makes it approachable, and the clear formatting ensures that all the essential information is easy to find without feeling overwhelmed. It is also a fantastic study tool, and I have found myself referencing it regularly for assignments and exams.

Not updated

Half the drug names I’m looking for are not even in the book. I want my money back

Refund

I had to ask for a refund. Every time I look for drug name, I can’t find it.

Not impressed

I am in a Nursing program and the majority of the drug cards I have to fill out are not in this app. I will not be recommending or renew this app!

No trial

I’d like to try the full app to see if it actually holds drug information I need, but only a partial version is available for free. I’m not willing to purchase something without knowing the information is there and as an ER nurse I come across a lot of drugs that are not included in most drug guides.
