When’s an update coming? ### 1/5 — Unusable *2018-11-23, version 1.6.1* Cannot get past the disclaimer.... useless ### 1/5 — TH *2018-11-15, version 1.6.1* All the content disappeared with the latest update. ### 1/5 — Useless *2018-11-05, version 1.6.1* Doesn’t matter what I type into the poisons section nothing comes up at all, remains blank and is completely useless. ### 1/5 — Can’t register *2018-09-28, version 1.6.1* Form to register on iPhone X hides the “register” button behind the signal and battery indicator, making it impossible to register! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with XS Max *2018-09-27, version 1.6.1* Doesn’t work with XS Max. Can’t sign up or in with the UI as it is. ### 2/5 — poor app *2018-04-16, version 1.6* The app does not even open at all. It keeps on showing ‘synchronising data’ but wont open. ### 1/5 — Crashes on download *2018-01-08, version 1.6* App crashes “synchronising existing data” after login. Chews up data allowance and battery in the process but doesn’t seem to download anything. Poor and buggy development it seems. Don’t waste time and £7 on it. ### 1/5 — Broken *2017-11-19, version 1.6* Crashes during downloading data. Deleted and re-installed it a couple of times. Tried both cellular as well as wifi data but nothing seems to work. Needs fixing please. ### 1/5 — TOXBASE *2016-10-26, version 1.6* Very good Medical app, works very well in iPhone. However in iPad it freezes on TOXBASE page, and didn't open beyond. It gives me big trouble after deleting it from iPad, but still found icon with open in updates and in the setting still present, and when I press it the side-by side page is white blank. Before deleting this bad app in iPad it freezes the iPad, which let me to reset my iPad but this icon in the update page still containing open, although I delete it from iPad. Will you please solve this terrible problem. Thank. Crashed in iOS 10, in the latest update on Oct 26, 2016 ### 2/5 — Crash *2016-04-14, version 1.4.2* Please fix the 'crashing'. Otherwise, a brilliant idea. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2016-03-30, version 1.4.2* App doesn't open - totally unusable! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crashes *2025-07-18, version 2.0.2* Just downloaded this App. When searching for an antidote it crashes after initial search and you cannot get back to search area or home page. Deleted and reinstalled app but same thing happened ### 1/5 — The best. Bar none. *2024-05-10, version 2.0.0* Easy to use, quick unambiguous answers are available. As of this month, it is no longer offered to clinicians like myself outside the UK. I had to entirely readapt my practice to accommodate losing this invaluable resource. LexiTox, POISINDEX, etc. are useless in comparison, and infinitely more expensive. -- In a crisis I want to know two things: 1. Is the patient about to deteriorate?; 2. What treatments should be rendered. TOXBASE answers in seconds, whereas there is sometimes over a hundred pages of information from other sources. Very sad to see it is no longer available. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing :( *2024-01-14, version 1.10.0* Keeps crashing & won’t load. ### 1/5 — No access *2023-01-14, version 1.9.3* Have a nhs account and can’t get access to any poisons/overdose information ### 1/5 — Cannot login *2023-01-07, version 1.9.3* Despite using my password correctly it won’t login ### 1/5 — Won’t even open *2022-11-16, version 1.9.3* Pointless, the app won’t open, no access to anything! ### 1/5 — Only the calculator works *2022-07-18, version 1.9.3* All other menus are not accessible/functioning. A blank screen displays. Pointless app. ### 1/5 — No content on latest update *2021-04-07, version 1.9.2* Updated app to latest version now no access to poisons or antidotes was working on previous version? Disappointing. ### 1/5 — No poisons listed *2018-12-28, version 1.7* Just paid to renew and also updated app now No Poisons listed , crashes after log in. Needs urgent attention ! ### 1/5 — Broken *2018-12-21, version 1.7* Doesn’t work ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Saved many a life. *2024-09-26, version 2.0.0* Consistently works, good offline access. A built in print/send option would be great. ### 5/5 — Works well *2021-03-08, version 1.9.1* Easy to register, works as expected ### 5/5 — Works well *2019-10-16, version 1.7* Registered as GP user, info easy to find and relevant. ### 5/5 — Really useful *2018-04-17, version 1.6* I work in emergency medicine and use this app almost daily. It’s useful, and I wouldn’t be without it. ### 5/5 — No problems! *2016-05-11, version 1.4.2* Working in Triage within an ED dept, this app is brilliant as a quick reference. Not had any problems other than it struggles outside of 3G/4G areas ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2015-10-07, version 1.4* An excellent updated app which is reliable & working well. Thank you ### 5/5 — Essential app *2015-10-07, version 1.4* This is a phenomenal resource for toxicologists, acute and emergency care physicians or anyone with an interest in toxicology and poisoning. The navigation is simple, logical and the app is very quick in action. Will use it daily. ### 4/5 — Works fine *2023-08-28, version 1.10.0* If only the developers can add horizontal view support for ipad ### 3/5 — Still broken - need to re-install *2016-04-06, version 1.4.2* As a community based clinician who personally paid for this, I was very disappointed with the latest version crashing. It has also caused delays in me accessing information. However after contacting the support team, a quick delete/reload of the app seems to have solved the issue. Not ideal, but at least it works :-) ### 2/5 — Wonky *2018-07-17, version 1.6.1* The latest update has caused the forms and pages to be misaligned and for oddly on the page. The landing page with the scrolling of medicines shows very few and is difficult to search for meds now. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
