Top 200 Drugs Flashcards App Reviews

Sure wish I could pick up right where I left off the last time. I find myself going over the same 20-something meds since I dont have time to finish the deck. PLEASE look into having it save the last card.

Keep reading if recent reviews have left you skeptical! :) I love this app, because I can decide what I want to test myself by quickly and EASILY changing around which categories (brand, generic, category, schedule, etc.) are given on each side of the flashcards. Nice, clean interface that doesnt randomly crash/close like similar apps in this price range (though after using awhile, it does slow down so I just save my changes and reopen it). **Regarding problems other reviewers are having: To save any edits you make on a flashcard (spelling correction, rewording, etc.), you MUST TAP "SAVE" after typing and returning to the editing screen. Ive saved tons of edits - no problem, mon! :). Also, the cards restart at the beginning every time you open the app (cards are in ABC order), but you can easily start instead on ant card you want by first going into the Index and choosing the drug you wish to begin on. There are some rare misspellings (afterall, some poor soul manually entered all this info!), so dont use this to study spelling, but to quiz yourself throughout the day, I think this is by far the most useful and helpful drug flashcard program in this price range (<$5). I have 5 similar programs and this is Top Dog. Thumbs up! :D

I own a 3GS, so its not a memory issue when it keeps crashing. The reviews here are all by bots.. Read the reviewers names. There is no multitasking for this app, the favorite drugs never saves, any new drugs you add will be deleted and IT KEEPS CRASHING! Im a pharmacy student and I need a reliable app, not a phony $3 garbage app.

I would love the most recent top 200 list. They have it on study stack; its a shame they dont make an app! You get what you pay for and has most of the new top 200 list on here. I suppose!

I love the editing component which most app dont include.

I have gone through only about 25 flashcards so far and have found many, many misspellings, misleading points and outright inaccuracies. Obviously unedited, even with spellcheck. For example, the drug class for acetaminophen+codeine shows "narcotic+non-narcotic pain reliever". Now, why wouldnt you list the classes in the same order as the drug name? Theres no reason, besides laziness. That example is easy to spot, but I found others that are not so obvious. I had a feeling about a few, looked them up and sure enough, they were backwards, too. This is not helpful, especially for people trying to learn this stuff. As far as flat-wrong entries go, this app lists zolpdems drug class as an anxiolytic, which is just not true. I found quite a lot of these problems in only 25 flashcards. I wonder how many more errors there are? I wonder how serious they are? For obvious reasons, pharmacology errors are unacceptable. The developers should act responsibly and clean this app up, or just trash it.

Good content and format, however, this app needs a way to remove learned cards, a leitner repetition mode, and it needs a memory, so when you exit out of the app it remembers where you left off. When you have 200 cards, the chances of getting thru all of them at once is not likely memory will help!

It is top 200 of all drugs, not just the community/retail top 200. And lots of errors. Who cares about the hospital top 200?

Although the idea behind this app is good, the execution is terrible. There are many errors in the spelling of drug names, and the information presented about each one is far too incomplete. This would be fine if I could use the flashcard editing feature, but whenever I close the app, all of my changes are reverted, and my work disappears. Very infuriating!

App is alright and contains the top 200 drugs but there are several problems... 1) Can not delete any cards, whether its one you create or one that exists already 2) MISTAKES! Brands name switched with generic name, wrong class written, lots of spelling errors 3) Cant edit cards when viewing favorites deck. I can only edit them when Im viewing the full deck. Still can be a useful tool for studying, but just make sure to double check everything! For something that we pay for though, why should we have to go through that trouble? Might as well get something free and input everything yourself.

Dont waste your money. If you are a busy nursing student like I am, you wont have the time it takes to edit all the cards to fit the required facts/labs etc that you need to know. Also I searched for the Meds we are required to learn and about every 3rd one I searched for was not on there. Then after putting them all in the Favorites deck, the app crashed and I lost them all. Waste of $2.00

App crashes constantly and all the drugs I add are always missing from my index! Also doesnt remember the drugs I "favorite." Do not buy!

Simple to use, effective, cheap. Worth every penny of the whopping $1.99.

I love this app. Keeping track of drug information has not been easier. I have become the drug guru in my family! Get this app!

App crashes constantly, wont save new added card, should have incorporated the drug pronounciation app into this one.

awesome app. very handy! i can even study while using the treadmill! i can add/edit flashcards. very nice! definitely worth the money! can you also make some folders? to easily organize especially on the favorite tab. thanks! ;)

Just bought this app and already having problems. When I go into the settings the screen is all shifted so I am unable to edit what info shows on the card.

Awesome flashcard app. The app works fine for me, no shifting in Settings page on my iPhone 4. Best part of the app is that I can edit the cards if I want to add more info. They even have an option to add additional cards (which I havent used yet but may come in handy in the future). I also like how its they have just the top 200 most popular drugs instead of thousands of drugs, which keeps things focused and high yield. Great work!

the app is simple and covers the basics that you need, but crashes constantly. either immediately after starting it up or about 5 minutes into studying it just shuts down and you have to restart it.

Nice format. At least you can edit and correct the NUMEROUS errors. Perhaps if you check each drug individually like I did, that might help to learn them better. Never trust any information unless you verify it yourself. Get the app if you want a handy reference. But be ready to edit.
