Comments on epocrates: Drug Info & Pill ID for Android
★★★★☆Russell O· Mar 1, 2025
Better since the last update. Still stalls at times when used on the computer.
★★★★★andrew drolson· Jan 21, 2026
I have used the free version of Epocrates for 11 years now. As I transition to becoming a nurse practitioner, it's nice to see a company that cares for other healthcare professionals just as much as they do for doctors by giving a one-year free subscription to Epocrates+. The wealth of up-to-date information is beyond great to have at the touch of your fingers.
★★★★★Sullivan Busch· Sep 8, 2025
Great app for medical students and residents! They even give medical students a free subscription!
★★★★★Kathleen Davidson· Jan 25, 2026
Epocrates is daily used in my clinical practice for interaction checks and dosing. TSM for access.
★☆☆☆☆David· Oct 6, 2024
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!
★★☆☆☆Keilan McWhorter· Sep 24, 2024
Now, I can't use the drug interactions function because it says it needs to download a content update. You press the button, and nothing happens. It won't complete the content update. I checked, and I have the most recent version from Google Play Store. I have relied on this app for many years. Now, I am at a loss. The drug interaction check is a very important, critical function.
