For about 2 weeks now, my Epocrates App on my phone locks up after a couple of uses. Then I have to uninstall and the reinstall. Works a couple of times and the same thing happens. I notice on GooglePlay that there are 2 identical Apps that both download when you install. Is this part of the problem? Very frustrating to be in the middle of a patient visit and not get the info. you need. Please fix this!

I've been using Epocrates for many years now. I am for the Epocrates Plus, in the last month I open the program on my phone which is compatible. It is frozen , and does not work. Removed the app several times and re-downloaded it. I then went to the Play store to see that there's several other people that are complaining about this issue. If this is not taking care of then I will definitely ask for a refund and I will let all my colleagues know. Very frustrating!!!! Please fix

I can no longer use the app at all since the update. I use to really love how easy it was to use. Now it freezes up everytime I open it. 3/14/24- Latest update. It worked okay for a while. It would freeze for the first 5 to 10 seconds but then the app would work. Since the most recent update, it doesn't work at all. I try to open the app, and it freezes. Time to look for another app that's more user friendly.
