Convenient. Very handy to quickly reference drugs. However, I would like the app to include the corresponding page number(s) for the book.

Great app but why do I have to pay when I bought the book?. I bought this book for nursing school and downloaded the Application. The ap is great but if I purchased the book I think it’s crazy that I have to pay for the ap too! Haven’t y’all made enough money off of me?

Wish I found this app earlier in nursing school. I love this app so much, it’s my one stop shop for all my medication verification needs. It able to calculate IV rates and so much more. This was totally worth the money.

How do you APA cite this source?. Having an APA cite in the app would be very helpful (like on Wikipedia). Many people using the app are students and using this source would be great for case studies. Knocked 1 star off because there is no info on Symbicort in the app (it shows up in the search, but there is no info when you click on it).

Apps better than the book. Even considering the increased price d/t the yearly subscription, this app is better than having the book because I always have it in my pocket at work and I don’t have to flip through pages. The comprehensive index search component has saved me so much time! I also enjoy the tools available including drug calculations, tables and lab values. This app is worth the subscription fee for nurse or for anyone needing to look up medications frequently.

Clergy and Rn. Love this app. Use it frequently and find it fast reliable and easy to use. Love that it gives options when my spelling is off.

I liked it for as long as I could view it.. I really like this app, highly recommended for new nurses. However, I purchased it and then all of a sudden when I opened the app it was as if I never purchased it. Hoping for some help here, would never have given it one star had that not happened

Jane. Very thorough. Gives the information needed for a nurse to safely administer meds. Includes IV incompatibilities . Compared with other ‘nursing’ drug handbooks, this one is far better than Lippincotts!

Nursing students best friend. I love this app! I have it for free right now, but a couple of people told me that it will eventually make me pay, I brought the book as well, wish I could have this app for free!

RN, EMT. Quick reliable lookups when doing patient care. Like others would like to be able to see content I've paid for and forego upgrades if I choose to do that. Not really buying the app it's more like a rental with a fee that adds up significantly over time.

Very Helpful for Nursing School. In terms of researching medications for care plans, this is possibly one of the best apps that I have used. Not only is the app adapted from its physical counterpart, it also provides an easy way for me to look up medications with ease.

Useful Info, but not fully iOS integrated.... Apps are supposed to utilize BASIC iOS functions, which means opening two apps side by side. This app, despite all of its usefulness, doesn’t have that easily integrated function. I’ll change to 5 stars once fixed.

Auto Subscription. This app automatically enrolls you to a PAID yearly subscription. You can cancel within 30 days. Problem is I can’t figure out how to cancel this subscription... there’s no cancelation option in the app, or in my setting, or on iTunes. If you’re going to automatically enroll people in a paid service, at least make it easy to opt out.

Not available for MacBook. Tried pulling it up on my MacBook so I can transfer content from app to a word doc that I need to print to have in class and was unable to do so. When I typed “davis drug book” in on google it took me to the davis drug book unbound website. That’s when I realized this app isn’t the official davis drug book app, with the official one you can log in on google and also download it on your MacBook. Unfortunately, I already spent my money on this particular app... Gives me all the right info I just wish I had bought from the actual davis unbound so I can drugs up on my MacBook.

Restore Glitch. I already have a subscription for Davis Drug Guide but when I click on the bottom of the app to “restore now,” a glitch occurs and says “App store error.” I’ve already tried deleting and re-downloading the app to no avail. Any help is appreciated!

Great pocket guide. I have found no info out of date on this app

Good.. It’s a good app. I would recommend aligning the drop down menu a little bit more to the right. It’s hard to press on it with guys that have big hands.

Great drug book!. I was given another drug guide from my school but compared to Davis’s Drug Guide, the other one I had was lacking. The layout Davis uses is much more fluid and easy to read. I recommend it 10/10!

Does not recognize me, search is tedious. I paid for my access via an app. It is not linked to my unbound account. Now the app is the only thing I can use. No logging on via web browser. Search function is difficult to find and use. Love Davis. It is my most comfortable resource - but the tech is lacking

Great app. We carry so many books in nursing. This app allows for one less! I love it!

Great but hope there's a free one. I'm a student and cannot afford the app. Its just sad this has limited use. I hope it can be free for core drugs without update, those who wanted update can then choose to purchase. But besides that, it works well, esp. if one is in clinicals because its hard to bring and look through the book all the time.

Kinda expensive. I love Davis and the way the info is organized. Only way it could be better is by making it free 😜🙃. No but real talk, a lifetime sub should be an option. Your selling this to nurses not millionaires, you lose a dumb amount of business to epocrates for this reason.

Love but. I love this drug guide! It has been super convenient in looking up a drug quickly. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because I wish it was available offline. There are a few hospitals or clinics that block phone service therefore, I can’t use the app. Wish it was accessible all the time. Otherwise, this app is perfect when phone service is available.

Monthly Subscription.. I am a nursing student and simply can not afford to subscribe for a year. Why not offer a monthly subscription as well for people like myself? There should be different subscriptions options available; including an option with no update available but at least you won’t lose your access after a year.

Quick and easy. Look up medication fast. Great for nursing students and nurses at work. No need to carry that book.

Can add to new phone. Love the app itself, do not like the fact that when you add the app to new phone you can not restore. They want you to pay for another subscription. Maybe it’s me but this has happened on two different phones.

Excellent and easy. The best $40 I’ve spent in nursing school. This will save you many headaches.

So far so good!. New grad nurse here coming to hail how extremely useful this app is. It saves me time from having to lug my drug book, or look at the hospital’s medication system that only gives info from the patient teaching perspective, rather than the nursing perspective. It’s essentially a digital drug book, and has all the info I need. I’m glad I got the subscription; if you can afford to, do it!

Wish you could sort your bookmarks. I think this app is great but it would be awesome if you could move and sort bookmarked meds.

It used to be my favorite app.... This app is a great, easy and reliable tool to find out about medications. The bad thing about it is that even if you hadn't renew your anual subscription, it still would let you use it, and now you can no longer do that. I would snooze the reminder of the renewal and use it to look up a medication and eventually pay again for the subscription anyways. I was at work and since it does not allow you to do that anymore, I will not renew my subscription since I couldn't rely on it when I needed it. My hospital offers at least two drug books linked to the charting system, I used them and found what I needed. There is also information available online for free. You should either lower the anual subscription or allow people to use it even if they haven't renewed the subscription. With that being said, they just lost a loyal customer that had renewed subscription and used this app for 5 years until now.

Subscription renewal.. Great app, however I turned off the subscription when I was done with Nursing School. I recently updated my payment information on my phone, and yet I was still charged. Now it's not giving me an option to turn off the subscription.

Anyone else totally unable to use the app to sign in?. It allows me to get a subscription on the app but doesn’t allow me to log in when I already have a subscription. This has been happening for over a year for me, rendering it absolutely unusable.

RN, CNOR, Lic-P. While this is the drug app I like the most out of all the ones I have used, it still has a few issues. I've seen several new medications on TV commercials, but it seems to take forever for them to appear on here. The other, and perhaps the one I've read the most about, is that if your subscription expires, you can't access the app in the version you've already paid for which is like a textbook self destructing after one year. That ticks me off. Because of those two things I give it 3 stars. I like it, and I'd recommend it, but I'd tell the person about those issues so they could make a more informed decision.

Double the price for one book. I bought this book already and now I have to pay for it again just for the online version/subscription. Not happy! I prefer Davis over any drug guide and this is extremely disappointing.

Help!. I could not get passed the icon to buy the annual and so I went ahead with the free trial to plan to delete the subscription after I found what I needed.. I can’t figure out where to stop my subscription. I went to settings on everything and couldn’t find it. You shouldn’t hide the option to cancel a subscription or make it this hard to find.

It’s very good BUT.... I’ve had this app for several years and I keep renewing subscription out of habit and fear of not finding something better. The reason I am not fully satisfied: I look for new medications and it cannot find them! It’s frustrating! It’s extremely important to have the info on newer medications but it seems they’re not updating this app’s database as frequently as they should! The app shows me it’s updated, there’s nothing to add, but then, it does not show me a lot of meds! I also don’t like the fact that it’s tough to find combination medications. I hope they will fix it! If not, I’ll most likely start using a different app in the near future!

For the price, the interface is abysmal. I’m an RN and I rely on this app for work, but the interface is horribly outdated and hard to navigate. The information on drugs thankfully is neatly organized, and very detailed so 5/5 there, but for the price and what I get in terms of how the app functions I rate you 0/5.

BSN. I was denied access because I didn't re-subscribe. I should still be able to access the non-updated information that I PAID for. I'm all for updated content, but I should still be able to access the information I paid for. A textbook doesn't erase itself after one year.

Unreliable. I purchased this app and was unable to use my account on my laptop and iPhone. Huge waste of money to only be able to use on my iPhone and not receive an account. Would not recommend.

Index not working. Good app if it works properly. I have not been able to look up a medication using the comprehensive index which I need to have that functional for this app to be of any use to me. I’ve submitted 2 feedbacks to the app developer with no response. I had to spend more money and get the actual book so I can get through my class. Very frustrating and I feel I wasted my money on this app.

Don’t buy if you need it when you’re offline. I had the old Davis drug guide and loved it. But just like everyone else once I updated my iPhone this last time it was inop. So thought I’d try the one for nurses this time. Was working ok when I was in cell service range but didn’t realize it doesn’t work if you don’t have cell or WiFi until I was on a patient flight and needed to look up a medication and low and behold it doesn’t work. Thanks a lot! Now I hate this app and need to find one that will stay on my phone. Anyway to get my money back??? Anyone have a recommendation on another drug book??

Unable to access. I have had this app for several months and only been able to access twice. I am a hospital nurse and was looking forward to having more info than our hospital site gives. The 2 times I got on it was great. I have contacted the app a couple of times to try to resolve the issue with no good help. Super bummed I wasted $40.

LVN student. Has the meds that's not in the actual book..

Can’t access account. I have been charged for this app for a couple years now without even knowing it. So I tried to download and install it - but there is no option to log in or access my account.

Davis Drug Book app review. It is a helpful resource that I can review in my time of need. Sometimes I just refresh my medical material so I won't forget. It is a helpful tool. I love it.

Use it every shift!. I love this app. I especially love the nursing implementation and IV compatibilities. Would recommend to anyone!!

They need and update. It’s quick and convenient but they need an update. Too many errors and wrong information. For example I go check for Furrous Sulfate and the class is Antiemtic ???it’s suppose to be Blood former/Coagulator

Love it!!!. This app has helped me greatly through nursing school so far. I have the Davis Drug book but the app is way quicker.

Restore Purchase Error. It will not let me restore my purchase as it says “error” and only gives me the option to subscribe. I paid a lot of money for this app and now I can’t even use the subscription I paid for.

Home health RN. Love this! Easy to use and look up patient medications in their homes.

Good but expensive. Should be a lifetime membership, especially when I have already bought the physical drug guide

What?!. This app is amazing! Esp for a urgent care nurse. So easy to use and read with only pertinent info.

Convenient. Pretty convenient in my clinicals

Great app for nursing!. Great app!! I would have gave 5 stars but they is no IV compatibility chart as shown.

Nurse student. As a nurse student, I find this guide really helpfull during my internship. It is very easy to use and very well divided .

Awesome. This is an awesome drug guide it has every thing you could think of. Easy to follow with no known problems and way Easier to deal with than the book version so a+ for this app

Mostly great. I use this app all the time at work but I wish it would update through the app store and not independently. That can be a real inconvenience for that little pop up every time the app is opened until you can get around to updating it.

Cant copy and paste from app. Its unfortunate that i cant copy and paste from the app. Now i need to buy the web version in order to do so. Going to find other resources.

APP NOT WORKING. when you change your phone, you will never use it again. I tried to reach out to customer service but no response at all.

They do not honour their purchase contract. I had purchased this app over ten years ago when it first came out it was a one time purchase for life. Recently they updated their app, and now they have removed the app and their update is a yearly subscription for $50plus. Once I contacted customer service their reply was. I could sign up and have a two week free trial. This is literally stealing from their customers as I had purchased the app to own, and now once they updated it they no longer let me have access to the old app that I had initially purchased. This has left quite a sour feeling as this company knowingly is selling apps that they will not abide by their original contract. I am but one simple nurse. Absolutely unprofessional customer service, and now I don’t have access to the Davis drug guide that I purchased. They literally stole the app from my phone.

Don't waste your money. I was not impressed when I found out that you need to pay 38.99 EVERY YEAR for just the update. What a rip off considering the drug guide is not that great to begin with!

Great layout. I have great first impressions with this app! It's easy to navigate, the layout is user friendly and provides more information compared to the skyscape version. This app includes the BEERS criteria, information on the drug classification, IV compatibility charts, useful calculators... etc. The downfall of this app is the yearly subscription. 5 stars if the $49.99 was a one-time thing. Overall, I'm happy with the app and will be finding it extremely convenient and useful in my workplace!

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

It's great. I needed this to make drug cards for my cliicals, the interface is great and simple. It's very easy to navigate. Great app!

The past is better than the future.. This app used to be better a few years ago, but now they want $50 subscription?! I think not.

Can’t cancel subscription. I used this app for several years while in nursing school and it was great. I no longer need it with a new job, but am unable to cancel the renewal.

Impossible to cancel subscription. How on earth do I cancel this?

It's back to perfection. When will this be fixed? FINALLY !! It is back to its original perfection.

Great Resource for nursing school. I bought this app

This app is amazing ✔. Love it ❤ very helpful information

Great for this nursing student. It has the same info and page format as the actual book with a quick and easy index. I love having all the info from Davis' Drug Guide on my iPhone. It's a great help in clinical or when studying.

Nursing school’s dream!!. This is going to help me out so much in my last message from Nursing School!! I wish I would’ve download this along time ago! Thanks for making it so affordable! Sincerely, Nurse in the making Danyesa

Disappointment. This app needs a major makeover. Medication navigation is complicated, you have to search meds by name. You can't scroll or browse through them like you can on the Unbound App for this same book. My suggestion? Davis needs to eliminate this app completely and contract out Unbound for the annual subscription. I would have rather had access to their app for this same book than use this one.

My evaluatiobn. I love the nursing implications but would like to see more robust actions.

Excellent for Nurses. I use this app multiple times a day at work. Perfect for busy nurses not wanting to carry around a heavy book. Only a few meds I've come across not in here.

App won’t let me subscribe. I love the book version of this app but the app version won’t let me subscribe (glitch)

Drugs. Has a very thorough description of drugs and how they work in the body.

Search tool. I doesn’t have a search tool.

Keeps shutting down. Everytime I try to open it the thing won’t open and shuts down. It’s quite annoying!!

Exiting app. I paid too much for this app for it to exit me out while I’m trying to type a medication name in.

Very helpful during nursing school and in the field. Lk

Issues. I love the app when it works. I need to delete it weekly and reopen it because it blocks me. I’ve reached out to the app provider and they couldn’t help. If it worked I’d love it. But sadly it’s been a wast of money. Works great on my iPad; doesn’t work at all on my iPhone.

Absolute rip off. I paid $40 for this and then after a year it locked me out of the app and said I need to update my subscription, for another $40. You'd think that you'd get the keep your old drug guide and just not get updates, but they stop you from using the app if you don't pay $40 every year.

Easy. Awesome handy book

Better than Davis's Drug Guide By Unbound Medicine, Inc.. I was using Davis's Drug guide for years and was mostly satisfied. I decided to try another drug book and I chose this one. It is way better!! This drug guide gives a much more comprehensive explaination of each medication. Also, this app lists herbal products and almost every vitamin under the sun.

Nursing school. It really helps with learning the meds for Pharm, Med-surg, Peds, and Maternity.

It is not separated side effect from side effects. Confused!. Confused!

Greatest. Great

Great app!. Made clinicals doable. Love the bookmark function and the search is super fast. Way Better than clunking through the book.

Nursing student. Awesome app! No problems with freezing up. Well designed interface. Accurate as well as easy to navigate. I use it in lectures, labs, and clinicals.

Dani RN Nursing Student. Love this app! It is set up perfectly and is fast and easy. Love it! The price is a bit much but it’s worth it!

Easy & Convenient. Best drug app I have used as a nursing student!

Medication. You cannot search medication and I don’t like that

Crashing. It no longer opens can this be fixed

Question!!!. Hello, I can’t seem to find where I can turn off my auto renewal and end my free trial. Please help...

Unsubscribe???. HOW DO I UNSUBSCRIBE?

Love it!. So much easier than flipping thru the drug book hunting a certain medication. Downfall is the price, but it's the same price as the book :) so either way it works great!

Buy this app!!!. Just like having the original book in my hands. Well worth the cost.

Subscription extension?. My understanding when Purchased this app a year ago is that it was a one time purchase that I would have access for indefinitely. Does the 1-year subscription extension mean that I will not have access to the application and updates after my 1 year date?

Great reference. Easy to use app. Work in a rural hospital with not so great doctors. I use all the time.

Copy and Paste. As a student I work a lot off of my phone and can no longer copy/paste for my med cards. Only to figure out this is not the official Davis book app offered by Unbound. Completely useless app would give zero stars if I could.

Great App!. This is my go-to app when I need info about IV push medications. Love it!

Auto renew. DON’T DOWNLOAD. There is no way to shut off auto renew so now I’m stuck paying $40 every year? Really annoyed with this.

My bible. Amazing app! Super helpful and excellent resource!

Forced Annual Subscription. This app WAS incredibly helpful getting through nursing school. The "nursing implications" and "patient education" sections were ideal for the beginning nurse. The app also made searching for medications easy (most of the time). You have to spell the drug correctly, and sometimes the search function wouldn't work if you input the brand name. That meant I had to do a google search for the generic name, to find the medication. (That defeats most of the purpose of having this drug guide in the first place IMO) All things considered, it WAS a solid app. Here's the catch... I hope you like paying 40 bucks every year for a new one! Unlike a book, you don't own this app; you are leasing it. We all agree that having access to the most up to date information is imperative in the practice of medicine... but if that was the case, practically every drug guide book would be obsolete the minute it was printed. If I want the most up to date information, I will use whatever drug information system my facility mandates I use. But most of the time, I just want a quick reference to a drug classification, or to see possible interactions, or to understand it's off-label uses. This drug guide WAS perfect for that. Bottom line: you already have you phone out... just google it. If you need a more reliable resource, use the one your facility has already paid for. Or, find a PDF version of the same book and keep it on your phone.

Great app but. I love the app but I believe it should be discounted for nursing students and nurses.

A little competition.... So, this app is the drug guide book in electronic form. However, buy this app from unbound and you get the same thing, plus online access. As in, on a computer. Wish I had known that before buying this app. Also wish I had known about Epocrates, which is free. Don't get me wrong, this is a good app. There's just other options out there.

Do NOT WASTE your $. The application is a joke! It does not work on brand new iPads- so if you are looking for a good nursing drug guide focused on nursing. RUN AWAY from this thieve! I want my money back- or my lawyer will be calling you. I do not want to sue you but...you this application has cost me time, money, and emotional hardship. Fix it or get served.

So easy!. I love that I can put in generic or trade name and it comes right up! Having it in my phone is so convenient! Only thing I don't like is that there aren't page numbers to reference the book.

Does not have many drugs. I have found that there are several drugs missing

App won’t open. It has been days now tried to open and use this app but it won’t open for me. Is there any issues with the app?

First Semester Nursing Student. So, this app is simply impressive as a nursing student. I was hesitant because of the price, but I took a chance and it has all you need; action, SE/AE, nursing implications, interventions, family teaching, and even possible nursing diagnosis for the medication being administered. These are only some of the thing this app has. Take a chance you will be impressed.

CANCEL FREE TRIAL. No where does it say how to cancel the free trial. I do not want to purchase. I want to cancel before I get charged.
