User Reviews

Reviewers praise Epocrates as a long-standing, quick, and accurate drug information resource for dosing and interactions. However, recurring issues center on new paywalls: weekly free-view limits, high subscription costs, and intrusive ads that gate essential content. Many users report crashes and instability after updates, plus workflow disruptions from pop-ups. Together, these changes have driven many long-time users to seek alternatives, despite the app's continued value as a fast reference at point of care.

Pros

Concise, authoritative prescribing information and interactions (long-standing trust in drug info)
Quick, reliable drug dosing reference at point of care
Long-standing, trusted tool used by clinicians for many years
Easy to use and versatile drug information resource

Cons

Weekly free-view limits and paywalls restricting drug lookups
High subscription costs and shift to Epocrates+ for full access
Ad-heavy free version with content gating that hinders basic use
App instability and crashes after updates, disrupting workflow
Pop-up prompts and upgrade nudges disrupt day-to-day clinical use

While I don’t mind paying for an app, I will not pay $25 a month for something that has been free for years. Thankfully I have found other apps with the same information that remain free.

They just put all the med info that was free for decades behind a subscription. This was my and many other clinician's first choice in med and interaction lookup and now the greedy devs want $15 a month and up just to see the basic info we've always had access to. Don't even bother downloading.
