    Have used for over a decade and now when looking up basic med told have to subscribe to epocrates +. Very disappointing
  • Too many commercials

    Despite paying $180 for a yearly membership, every time I open this app I’m forced to watch a drug commercial first. Seriously? That alone is enough reason for me not to renew.

    As others have posted, they now limit drug searches and try to force upgrade. Used to be useful. Now worthless.
  • No longer free

    I am a critical care NP and Epocrates has long been my medication reference/resource. Just recently they have limited the number of medications you can review to a few per week. Now they try to force you into a paid subscription to use their app ($14.99/mo or $149/yr). Definitely NOT worth the price when there are other free options like UpToDate, Micromedex ,drugs.com. One word for the Epocrates app… delete

  • NO LONGER FREE

    I have been using epocrates for well over 12 years and now they force you to subscribe in order to get unlimited views for medications. Otherwise, they set a limit of free views per week. I eat up those views in one morning of seeing patients. Will just use my desktop reference or find another free to use app. It was great until this happened. They say it’s due to cost restrictions, but cmon, this app has been free for 12 years and just now there’s a cost issue?
  • Free version no longer free

    The company advertises everywhere that drug information (non-supplements) is free, but the app is limiting my drug searches to less than 10 searches per month. Then pushes you to pay for Epocrates+ to cover diagnoses, and guidelines, even when you don’t need that.
  • Not worth $180.00 a year

    I understand that people need to make money but charging $180 once a year or $25 per/month is not acceptable. I will be finding other resources.

    I’ve used epocrates since medical school, but they have recently limited access to even basic functionality which is supposed to be free like drug dosing/side effects to maximum number per week, rendering app worthless without paid subscription. Goodbye epocrates.
  • No real free option

    Used this application for years and it helped me but the free tier is essentially non usable. I understand wanting to make money but it’s not worth the price you are asking is far too high to check a pill dosage. I might have paid a reasonable fee but this type of paywall being so aggressive has annoyed me. I’m deleting and using my hospital’s free but less user friendly resources. Too bad epocrates.
