Pros and cons of Antibiotics pocket app for iPhone and iPad

Antibiotics pocket app good for

Convenient, neatly arranged, cool layout - everything you need at a glance. Give me more!
I stumbled on this card in my medschool’s bookstore a while ago and I found it so helpful in my rotations that I thought I’d actually write an Appstore review. Look, it’s no replacement for the Sanford guide which I still carry around, but in many cases, it’s been all I needed to quickly remind myself of the proper antibiotics to give without having to leaf through the miniscule text of the Sandford. The app has a summary section that gives a great overview of the most effective abx regimens for many common infections and an awesome antibiotic activity table that’s nicely color coded so I can quickly see what drugs work for what bugs. It also has a dosing table that is sufficient in many cases. So all in all, this is now my first-line reference for ID issues. Highly recommended!
Marvelous, spectrum table inside. "old-style" Pocketcard included. Thank you.

Some bad moments

Way too simple. Waiting for a improvements on next upgrades. Barely worth its low price.
Waste of money. Confusing to navigate. No real info. If I can give 0/5 I would.
Great little app!!!! it helps me prepare for exams and for my internship. Its great to be able to look up things promptly and the info you get is precise and detailed! cant wait to see more of that!
This guide is a terrific starting point to refresh your memory on appropriate antibiotic use! You’ll need to refer to a more complete guide for precise dosing in complex infections, but for a great overview of antibiotic activity by class, and of effective regimens for many infections, this is a beautiful resource. Very helpful!!
The most important facts you want to know about antibiotics, when they are used and their side effects in this compact up-to-date app
The new update is very nice. Excellent interactive platform. I like that now I can make fonts larger
