unable to enlarge text

I love how much easier it is to navigate the information, but I bought the app because the hard copy is so difficult to read. Unfortunately there is now way to enlarge the texton the app. My computer wont enlarge or zoom it either, which has never happened to me before. The text is extremly small. Maybe size 10 font.

Very frustrating - Don't waste your time or money

I bought this app to use during my RN program. After paying for the annual subscription, I could not use the app because it kept prompting me to update the app. I would follow the link to the app store, no update. I decided to delete the app and reinstall it on my computer. BIG mistake. Now my subscription is removed completely and the "try before you buy" prompt is showing. I give up.

Nursing Student

the book was recommneded for my class, wasnt a requirement. Ended up subscrinbing for a year to the drug guide as the class began to require medication look ups. It is alot easy to use and gives all necessary info in one location instead of having to do multiple web searches. with the yearly subscription will be able to get up to date inforamtion instead of having an outdated book.

Doesn’t work on new phone

Very disappointed my old phone broke and I got a brand new iPhone. I must pay for the app again. Not gonna happen. I don’t understand how a $40 purchase disappeared in my account. Good way to lose a customer.

Once again fabulous app!

For last 7 years I am purchasing medical apps from Skyscape and everytime they come up with something new! This time they have made this Drug app available for Mac. It is so convenient to use. When I am at my clinic I can use on phone. And when I am at my home, I can use it on my MacBook. It is so convenient!!

Can’t Access On Other Devices

Despite paying good money, you cannot access this book on other devices. You can get the same book on kindle for way less ($24), and you can access it on any device that can download kindle.
