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.

Epocrates is daily used in my clinical practice for interaction checks and dosing. TSM for access.

For the busy medical clinician this app is essential. It's updated constantly it gives all the information necessary for the busy practitioner deserve six. Belatedly the PDR came out with an app. It reminds me of Blockbuster versus Netflix... this is a massive-missed opportunity for PDR

Better since the last update. Still stalls at times when used on the computer.

Unreliable. I have used this app for 7 years religiously and actually recommended it to students, but that will be changing. "Content update required," in order to view the information I'm looking up has become a weekly ordeal. The most important feature, drug interactions simply states "content update required" even when it has been updated just seconds previously. Uninstalled reinstalled, cleared cache, did everything the Epocrates team suggested and just unsubscribed.

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!
