HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (57 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT · SHARE OF BAD REVIEWS
Price and subscription41%

23 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ After 4-5 years of using it, it shuts off unless you pay an annual subscription
★★★★★ When I originally downloaded the app I was charged $180 and I though it was all inclusive and not based on yearly subscription.
★★★★★ I wouldn't quite call this app a ripoff, but I also wouldn't say I got my money's worth, either.
Worse after an update25%

14 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Ever since the last update.
★★★★★ Love the app but since the recent update it keeps crashing.
★★★★★ Literally every single time I open this app it won't let me look up the info I need because it has to update.
Login and account problems11%

6 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Could not figure out where to sign up to make an account or use my access code to buy it.
★★★★★ I got a new phone and lost my password.
★★★★★ I launch the app and attempt to sign in – and receive the message that “the network connection was lost .
Wrong or poor results9%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ This app is hard to navigate, a waste of money, and basically useless to me!!
★★★★★ If you're looking for a positive outcome, and you list a positive outcome, you get the question wrong and in the explanation it will say it's wrong because it's a positive outcome.
★★★★★ As a clinical instructor I try to use the app and encourage students to look up the pt diagnosis to aid with nursing diagnosis. Simple and basic things like GI bleed. Not there. Tried to use it to allow students to see…

★★★★★ Unable to log in or change my password or even contact anyone at the provided phone number / website..
★★★★★ I have been unable to access app support to rectify this.

Limits, credits, locked features7%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ It's a scam that I have to pay an outrageous amount of money yearly to use this tool.
★★★★★ You get a basic set of comprehensive resources for the annual fee, but if you want anything else you have to pay $50 or so for each extra manual (and there are several of them).
★★★★★ This is tedious, slow, and simply not feasible with me as I have a limited data plan and can't download 300MB of data and wait 5 minutes every time I need to use the app (which is almost daily).
Lost data, sync, backup7%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ We were told in nursing school that this will never expire and we never lose access to it.
★★★★★ I got a new phone and lost my password.

Please keep the article links free!!

As a nursing student that had been through an LPN program without Nursing Central, and is now using Nursing Central in an ADN program, I can say that this program is incredible. This gives you, not only understandable knowledge, but the confidence and peace of mind knowing that it is scholarly/peer reviewed content. Not to mention, easy to navigate, helpful with tools like notecards and a work cited generator. Unbelievable. This program will be so integral for my nursing education.

★★★★★Sep 9, 2026
Great from student to nurse

I use this app everyday as a nurse and I also used it during my clinicals as a student

★★★★★Jul 26, 2026
Worth the Download.

I used this app all throughout nursing school for drug cards and care plans. Having all of these books continually updated and in my pocket is so helpful. I find myself everyday opening the app to research medications, diagnoses, and treatments. I will continue to use this app through the rest of my education and my career.

★★★★★Apr 19, 2026

Not supposed to expire

We were told in nursing school that this will never expire and we never lose access to it. That it was lifetime. I’ve talked to other students in my class and they said the same thing. Why is this
