Pros and cons of uCentral™ for Institutions app for iPhone and iPad

uCentral™ for Institutions app good for

Completely changed way I access my information. Download & updates simple.

I dont get why it has such a low rating. You have to buy the resources you want and searching through them is a breeze. Way better than skyscape

I love this app. Best is the thorough, well done Johns Hopkins Antibiotic Guide. What do you want to know about and infectious disease for its treatment? Easily find the correct and up to date answer in the Antibiotic Guide. The Pocket Guide to Diagnostic Test he is also outstanding.

This app has helped me so much throughout nursing school. Easy to understand and is a great tool for clinical. Davis drug guide has been the one resource Ive used consistently throughout the last 3 years of school.

Everything you will ever need in this app!!! Couldnt be better!!! Helpful and easy to use and understand!!!

Amazing app, able to look up first rate journals and text on both iPhone and iPad.

Some bad moments

Used this Hopkins abx guide since around 2011 for med school an internal med residency, used to pay out of pocket for stand alone app because it was so useful. I would still use it now as an ID fellow but the Unbound app becomes completely unusable when it deems time for an update which involves freeing up more space on my iphone 6 which i dont have time to do every 3 -6 weeks during a busy consult service. I am annoyed it comes bundled with all these other garbage references that clutter up the search function. I get this app free through my institution but i would pay handsomely for the paper version of this guide and sorely miss the standalone app. The content is unrivaled, but an app that is unusable every time it updates is unreliable and thus not a tool i would use in day to day clinical practice. Please make a paper version.

This app requires you to log in every time you open it. Then you have to wait for it to update itself, which takes several minutes, before you can access the content. Not practical at all as a quick reference for the clinical setting. There should be a "remember me" option for the log in and you should have the choice to update at a later time.

Tried reinstalling but the app always crashes when trying to search on my new 5S. Considering this is an essential feature, it makes the app nearly useless currently.
