THIS APP IS GOLD. I started as a new NP at an urgent care clinic where I was the only provider. This app saved me time and time again. Fast forward a few years, and this is still my go to. Through my organization, I have access to epocrates, Up to Date, Lexicom, and the NP notebook is still the one I reference more than any other. I literally use it everyday that I work. I like that the guidelines and recommendations are updated throughout the year to reflect the most current best practices. I wouldn’t have survived without this app. The price is a steal and the information is invaluable. I recommend this app to all new NPs (and seasoned) bc the information is current, concise, and backed by scholarly journals.

This is ABSOLUTELY the best $20 you will ever spend on a medical resource. I find it absolutely incredible the amount of people who are complaining in the reviews about paying $20 a year. Family Practice Notebook is extremely well organized, has everything you need to practice safely and efficiently, and with the latest evidence. Compare this to the $200 plus a year subscription for a Epocrates—FPN wins hands down-regardless of the subscription fees. I recommend this to all the new hires that I on-board at my organization, whether new grads or experienced NPs.

Many people are mad about the new charge but $20/year is nothing compared to the other apps and resources out there! I find this app to be as good or better than Epocrates which charges a much higher fee. If only everything could be free in life... but this really is a fabulous resource. Accurate, up to date content with the flick of a finger tip. If you have small doubt about a medical plan, this will lay it all out! Give it a try and you’ll find you completely agree! (plus the website option is still free)

I work as an inpatient medicine PA and I reference this ap multiple times a day. It is an amazing resource and much more concise than uptodate. I also got into on this application when it was free but I was beyond happy to pay $20 when it was started as a subscription. Disappointed to see all the negative reviews just because they want less than $2 a month for these amazing services. I was shocked it was free from the start! Would recommend without hesitation.

There are ways to go about starting a subscription service. Forcing a splash screen without disclosure to users, instead just vaguely stating “sdk update” is shady practice.To the developer: read your reply. It doesn’t address my comments. This is not about why you need to move to a subscription service. This is not about the cost. It is how you handled it. What you should do is pull the current version, put the older free version back in the app store, and make an announcement about your intent to charge for subscription on next update. I used to recommend this app to my colleagues, as well as residents and medical students. I don’t feel comfortable recommending it now, after this questionable practice.

I’m a new nurse practitioner. This app has the best information. It’s easy to use and understand. I’ve purchased several other expensive apps and databases and this is the one I use daily. I canceled several other subscriptions because this one is so great. There’s even a joke section to keep things light when you need it!
