## Description

FP Notebook is a rapid-access medical reference designed for primary care and emergency clinicians. It features over 6,100 interlinked topic pages, organized into 31 specialty books and 700+ chapters, with monthly updates from literature reviews and conferences to keep you current.

The mobile app mirrors fpnotebook.com and fpnotebook.com/mobile. It offers a 14-day free trial and, after that, a $24.99/year auto-renewing subscription for ongoing access and continuous content updates. Content is intended for medical providers; non-clinical users may find it challenging and should consult a medical provider for specific concerns.

## Review summary

FP Notebook is widely praised as a concise, current, and reliable pocket reference used by NPs, PAs, and physicians. It is valued for its quick access to organized, evidence-based content and overall cost-effectiveness. However, many reviews converge on concerns about the pricing shift—from a free/older model to a subscription—without clear notice, plus transparency issues about billing. Reliability issues like freezing or crashes also surface. Despite these, most users still consider it an essential, cost-efficient resource when compared with alternatives.

### Pros

- Concise, well-organized pocket reference with a clear structure (etiologies, differential, workup, treatment)
- Up-to-date, accurate, and well-sourced medical content that is maintained over time
- Easy to use, fast, and widely used as a go-to reference in clinical practice
- Strong value for money; many users call it a steal and compare favorably to pricier alternatives
- Longstanding utility across professions (NPs, PAs, physicians) and across devices (iPhone, Mac)

### Cons

- Abrupt, opaque subscription change with little notice and no grandfathering for long-time users
- Transparency issues around billing and trial terms (no clear indication of a purchase; misleading free-trial messaging)
- Reliability/stability problems (freezing, crashes, or the app failing to load on updates)
- Some users feel the pricing/changes undermine trust and push them to seek alternatives
