User Reviews

Medscape offers strong, content-rich medical information and a convenient interface, plus helpful AI-assisted responses. However, Android users repeatedly report stability problems (crashes, not opening, search crashes) and frustration over the removal of the Pill Identifier. Updates sometimes regress familiar features. A few users note better stability on iOS. Overall, the app’s value in medical information and tools is clear, but Android reliability and feature retention are major concerns.

Pros

Comprehensive, content-rich medical information and tools that are very useful in daily clinical practice.
Very convenient and user-friendly interface with generally positive overall experience.
AI-powered features with references that provide concise, credible responses.

Cons

Persistent Android stability issues: frequent crashes, app not opening, and crashes during searches across multiple devices.
Removal of the Pill Identifier, a long-standing feature many users relied on.
Update-driven regressions: some updates remove or break commonly used features, causing frustration.
Bugs in core functionality like drug search crashing when tapping the search bar.
Cross-platform inconsistency: Android experiences stability issues not reported on iOS (e.g., iPad/iOS generally more stable).

Recent reviews

It was a good app before the latest update; you could use it offline. Unfortunately, the update added an annoying welcome screen that sometimes crashes and requires an internet connection.

Me*****, 2026-09-21

The app has really been helpful and I've enjoyed using and recommended it severally to fellow practitioners over the last few decades. However recently since the introduction of AI (I think) , the app seems to have lost Offline mode and downloading the offline data has become tedious if it works at all irrespective of the version I install .AM REALLY DISAPPOINTED! The 3 stars are for the previously better experience . FIX IT PLEASE!
