Review summary

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).

2026-07-25	Ja*****	Good information, reliable sources and generally great app. I have two problems though, the first one is that the work postal info shouldn't really be forceful, I have no work or actual correlation to medicine but I love medicine and want to study it further. The second problem is that there seems to be no setting to change the app's language. This trouble is really annoying since I am from a spanish-speaking country and I actually can understand english but i would prefer reading it in spanish.
