Only half the medications I needed to look up

I’m a nursing student and also work in a long term care facility. I like how they have things set up but could use a little more information and needs a lot more of the common medications used. I had to switch to a different app because I wasn’t able to get the information I need on a regular basis.

Developer Response ,

We are sorry to hear this resource did not meet your needs. The content in our apps comes directly from the publisher and is the same content as the hard cover books. If we can be
of assistance when you experience a problem please contact support@skyscape.com

No trial

I’d like to try the full app to see if it actually holds drug information I need, but only a partial version is available for free. I’m not willing to purchase something without knowing the information is there and as an ER nurse I come across a lot of drugs that are not included in most drug guides.

Developer Response ,

Skyscape offers a 30-day full refund if you purchase our resources and are not satisfied. Please contact support@skyscape.com for more information
