The app is quick to implement, doesn't do as deep of a dive as some other clinical apps. Lately I have been getting restricted access asking me to update my subscription. I select the monthly auto pay for Epocrates+ option. It than states I already have an active subscription for Epocrates+ then gives an error message. CAN THIS PLEASE BE ADDRESSED? I WOULD HAVE GIVEN A HIGHER RATING.

It was great but I don't know why I'm paying money to get spammed with fullscreen ads every time I open the app.

I despise apps that force users to create an account just to use. Uninstalled instantaneously!!!

⚠️ This app does not respect the users choices - it transmits data when the app is not active, notifications are disabled, battery & background traffic are restricted in settings.

FIXED-now 5***** I have been using ePocrates since 1999. 3/2024 on Samsung Galaxy series (current OS) app freezes OR close/wait repeatedly. Force close no help. Uninst/reinst no help. No other apps even slowed. Tried 'wait'-hoping large update?-no help. Please fix as the UI (5*) and data (up2date) are my goto!
