  Thanks for this useful app

• Fantastic and accurate

  by Choochamo

  This is a really nice app, the layout if it is very functional and easy to navigate. I put in my insurance to check and see if certain medications were covered under my plan and when I cross checked with a pharmacist on several occasions this apps always been correct. It's very informative and also includes an interesting medical related news section. This app is pretty consistent on keeping things updated too. Overall, an enjoyable app by all means.

• Better all the time

  by emom6

  You have been working persistently to improve this program, and it is much appreciated. CME programs and tracking them is a vital function for me. I would appreciate making it easier to document and track the supporting info needed for category II, since most of what I access is from Medscape. I read so much that I find difficult to track in an expedient way. That is one reason I love your option to read recent news type articles and put them in a framework to get CME credit . Keep working on that CME function please. Those of us old warriors still working into retirement age on a fixed limited income need all the support we can get. It is expensive these days to keep up credentials just to volunteer. Everyone believes that all doctors are rich....we know better. Thanks for your thoughtful use of new technology. It makes life so much easier, so we can treat people not papers, forms, and codes.

• Great app

  by Med Miami

  I use this as a constant reference in med school. I just wish that for treatment for specific diseases that they would specify what is first line second line, etc treatment.

• Searching words within article

  by MedGunit

  I really like this website, and it looks great on IPAD. One question: On my laptop, I can search for words within articles (using command + F). Is there a way to search for words on the Medscape app? That would make it a 5-rating for me. Everything else looks great!

• Fantastic reference!

  by caintowers

  This is an amazing application complete with detailed, complete references. Love the interaction checker. One thing I would change is the new drug reference. I much preferred searching for a drug using the type/class based system rather than the current whole list. Otherwise, great app!
