Ratings and Reviews
I want more
This app is great, as a student nurse it is really helpful for learning about medications, however, I wish there was a “favourites” option that I can bookmark drugs I’ve come across before, and go home and really read up on them. At the moment I write it down on paper, that has a tendency to get lost. And hopefully I’ll be able to sort the medication list ‘A-Z’/ ‘recently added’ in favourites, that would be helpful.
Useful, Rich and Easy to Use Resource
This is a great reference of not just drugs but also medical devices, borderline substances and wound care.
The information is presented in clear, colourful ways that makes it easy to read and quick to find. There a some great extra features too such as the custom-built drug interaction section e.g. You can select more than one drug to check compatibility rather than just scrolling through a massive list of one selected drug.
Overall a very useful, well laid out and extensive medical resource.
Got worse after the update
Since the update, the paragraphs close as soon as you lock the phone or move between apps. Wasting precious work time having to retype the name of the drug again and again. Sometimes you need to look something else up on your phone and go to your browser, but when you go back to the bnf app, it’s already kicked you out of the drug paragraph and you have to type it in again. I don’t know why was this change made, but an otherwise brilliant app is now ruined for me, hopefully that could be fixed.
