A bug has been introduced in recent months that says I need a "content update" prior to using the medication interaction checker, but then the content update doesn't even work, so I'm effectively locked out of the interaction checker. Sometimes the checker will work, sometimes the big happens. I can't believe they haven't fixed this yet! The interaction checker is critically important, and I need the tool *immediately* when I'm in the room with a patient! Updated review, bug appears to be fixed

I have used this app since 2001 and prior to this year I never had any significant issues. For the past year it has ranged from slow to unusable. The interaction check, one of the most important and useful aspects of the app, has not worked in months. Instead, it says a content update is necessary and then it goes into an endless cycle punctuated by periodic messages saying the app is not responding. I have updated as well as uninstalled and reinstalled. Update 10/22/24: Issue appears fixed

I have used this app since I was an EMT. It has been excellent for all these years, and now a practicing physician out of fellowship for over 10 years still the go-to app for medication information. UNTIL RECENTLY Now it is completely UNUSABLE. It crashes every time I load it. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times and always back to the same thing, start app, freeze and crash. The developers have really destroyed a great app and unless this fixed soon, I'll be going elsewhere.
