Nurse's Drug Handbook App Reviews

Dont buy it. Old app and alot of basic drugs missing.

I use it for medical assistant school and its great

Not sure about it being outdated but works great for me as a student. Issues - cross platform subscription. No version for Mac air. I personally feel app should be free with book purchase. This app is much better than whats offered on nurse central

It’s so fix

Please update and add OB meds, much appreciated.

Does not have complete list of drugs. The first day I used it I needed to look up a drug. Was not listed in generic or brand name. It’s not reliable

I did a free trial and ended up subscribing because I am in nursing school, and it worked great for me when I used it to look up meds for my Pharm class, but when I got to clinicals, I noticed so many meds were missing. Almost every other med I would try to search for wouldn’t pop up, brand and generic names. I was trying to avoid spending a ton of money on a drug book (I’m poor, okay, nursing school is expensive, lol), so I paid the $25 for the subscription.. yes I know that’s not a lot, but now I still need to spend money on a drug book lol. Oh well, I will still be using it for the meds it does have because it happens to have a good layout and good info.

Can I ask why the “Drug Administration” sections that are in the book are not on the app? I wanted to know, because it seems like a vital part new nurses or nursing students should have access to.

An easy to navigate app and full of information. However, I noticed that the newer medications used to treat HC/BV are not included. I suspect that other medications are remiss, too. The HC/BV medications are important as they are prescribed more and more in non-specialty settings. Two thumbs up, but more effort to include more medications is needed!

It used to be easier to search a drug and find all the information. Now it is difficult!

It isn’t bad but it’s missing things like how the drug is supplied. Which is kinda needed for what I’m doing. Also side effects is kinda needed. Especially the most common ones.

Missing common drugs needed for nursing school. There is already a new 2021 handbook published but where are the updates to the app?? If it’s faster to publish and distribute a whole new book then that takes away half of the reason for an app. The only reason for an app is it’s handheld convenience but again, it’s not that convenient if you’re missing common medications.

This app is extremely useful when I’m working with patients

Can’t work without this resource. I use it everyday I work.

Missing basic drugs for med-surg! Not helpful for nursing students.

You are missing medications that I commonly use in the ICU. Etomodate, precidex, ketamine. None are in the app. I would also appreciate a way to look drugs up by category, like typing in benzodiazepines, and seeing all those drugs in that category. Thank you

“Application configuration error” every time I try to open the app. This app only worked for the first few weeks that I had it. I regret paying for it.

Useless App. I can’t even locate it on my phone to delete it. Worst drug reference I’ve seen on the App Store so far. Don’t sign up for the “free trial”. Not at all worth the money.

Not all medications are in the app. Has happened using genetic and branded names

Idk why all of the negative reviews. Almost 10 months and I use this app pretty regularly. Some newer drugs don’t show up but that’s not a deal breaker for me. A more modern or “prettier” UI would be nice to see sometime soon. Overall this app compliments epocrates and medscape, and sometimes I find myself going to this first before anything else when looking for info

Does not have half the drugs I was looking for

I want to take auto subscription off and do not want to renew. How do I do this Robert

No info on injectable meds..?.. Lantau, Levamir, Humalog

I simply want to look up a drag I can’t get past giving a review I don’t want to give a review I want to look up a drag I just opened the app I paid for it

Paid for this app and every drug I try to look up doesn’t come up. Don’t waste your money.

I want out of this app and want my money back. How do I do that?

Any Med you look up you are directed to pay for another version of the app.

I can’t find Lantas or insulin. Very simple medications aren’t listed in this thing.

Quick access to the info you're looking for. As a new grad RN I like to look up any meds I'm not familiar with before giving them. This app makes the process as quick and easy as it can be.

Its very good !!

LOVE this app, it makes not having to tow the thick book version around however since I already purchased the book I wish I didn't have to pay extra to use the app as well. But overall this app has been working great for me, it makes it so much easier to search for drugs than having to flip through pages manually- Grateful RN Student

I am an EMT student and I find this app very helpful!!

This book is incredibly useful, but if I have to pay for the book why should I have to pay for a subscription for the app? It makes no sense to me.

Great app. Convenient and easy to use.

Really good resource to have while working or at clinical.

So far is good

I bought the app so I wouldn't be carrying the book around during clinicals. Decent amount of drugs. My biggest issue is that the app crashes once it's opened on my iPhone 6s. I've tried everything. But it works perfectly fine on my iPad mini. Fix the app.

I use it for medical assistant school and it's great 🙌🏽

Don't buy it. Old app and alot of basic drugs missing.
