CPS by CPhA App Reviews

Iphone 5 is not supported and its not free

This app is completely useless. You are gonna get abbreviations, manufacturers contact info and a few calculator. No drug glossary as well as illness informations. Dont lose your time on this app !

I should have listened to what everyone else said. Waste of time.

Doesnt work without $40/year in-app purchase.

This app is being promoted by the CMA but it is utterly hopeless in function. The search function takes forever and it repeatedly just hangs. Dont waste your time here.

Gave it one star only because I had to choose 1-5. Terrible app. The search function just sits happily grinding away and havent been able to get anything to work on it. I just downloaded it and it says there are 14 updates but nothing happens when you try to install these so-called updates. Ill be writing the folks at the CMA to let them know its not a benefit, its a huge waste of money if theyre paying something so we can access it.

Disappointing reference not complete enough for the price. E.g. Looking up tranexamic acid NOT found nor trade name. A waste of money with other free apps provide better detail Shame for Canadian reference. Terrible. Yet again. Paid for this a few yrs ago and non functional. A real shame

The sign in button is non functional. Try to set up account email already registered with CMA so end up in endless loops!! Get the bugs out before you post it please!!!

Please accept our apologies for your frustration with the app. The search issues that have been highlighted occur when the content isn’t loaded after installing the app. To load the content, click on the update button on the bottom right.

Has some nice features but the user has no control over what info to download and one is sent lots of unwanted data in both official languages. I am not interested in all of the abbreviations, manufacturers, or the simplistic treatment guide. The product monographs can be helpful but I will likely keep lexicomp as my go to source and free up a chunk of mobile memory

Needs a lot more work. Looks like it was thrown together in a hurry or people who have limited understanding of apps. Thank goodness I only wasted my money for one year with this (at least I got the book, Therapeutic Choices, which in marked contrast is good). Unless a miracle happens with improvement Ill be going back to Lexicomp next year. I wanted to support a Canadian product but unfortunately this is not at the standard I would expect.

The app puts all content in English and French on your phone, almost doubling the memory usage necessary. This wont stay on my phone long if this isnt fixed.

No cps? Had it the first update I got now only a calculator and a few other things! Where is my cps

Please give option to download only in 1 language

I gather the CPA is no longer going to send out our blue CPS bibles. If you have a CMA membership, you can get your free yearly access to this apps CPS by going through the CMA website. This app is probably sucking a lot of memory as others have commented on. I have just downloaded it and briefly looked at it. I like what I have seen so far, beats running around looking for the latest blue book. We may also have CPS access online, through the computer somehow, I dont know.
