## BNF + BNFC Reviews in United Kingdom

### *---- "No data visible"
Was a wonderful but in the past year has become unusable on iPhone.
-- JuliaDoh, 2024-09-19

### ***** "Great app"
This is a app which really has all the relevant information at a touch of a button
-- rpearson081, 2024-08-06

### ***-- "Hmm"
Useful for medical students
-- MRsmileA&E, 2024-03-31

### ***** "Finally"
At last the iOS app is finally working again
-- Asdfghjkl!!!?!, 2023-08-25

### ***** "Highlighting option"
Could you please add an option for highlighting / underlying words/sentences and writing some notes with Apple Pencil please? Thank you
-- Dr.GP.Z, 2023-07-20

### *---- "Still unusable since update"
Still can’t use this since the update requiring log-in broke the app. I have a log-in that works on the website, but something is defective in the app when logging in, so I can’t access any drug information. You will note all the positive reviews are a few years old, before this change was made
-- How many subscriptions needed?, 2023-05-24

### *---- "Poor"
Two years on and I still can’t access the app despite reassurance that an update will fix the problem. 

As a junior doctor reliant on the BNF, it’s so disappointing this isn’t being fixed.
-- Rose_G15, 2023-05-24

### *---- "Annoyed"
Since being asked to register I no longer have access to this app because an error message keeps popping up every time I try to log on. I’ve tried repeatedly registering via different email addresses and no success. The support team via email is unhelpful too
-- DrO&G, 2023-05-24

### *---- "Access token"
Was great app , unable to use for about 2 years , no fix in updates
-- Rk680, 2023-05-17

### *---- "App is dead"
Has not worked since iOS 16 Support has no solution apart from check everyday! An important and essential app like this should be sorted out immediately. Unacceptable
-- feras, 2023-05-12

### *---- "Not working well"
It always pops up ‘missing access token’

😡😡😡😡
-- Bright JG, 2023-04-30

### *---- "it aight"
nahh g it's cool man
-- PSA examination, 2023-04-18

### *---- "App issues"
Can’t access app since log in requirement. Keeps coming up with server error. Saying can’t connect to server: the following required parameters for the identity service were missing: access token 

Not sure what this means. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling app but still comes up with this message.
-- Soph0423, 2023-04-14

### *---- "Unable to Access Since iOS Update"
Unable to access due to the iOS update. No timeline for fixing this. Very disappointing as I need this app for work, the desktop version just isn’t as intuitive to use. Please, please make fixing this a priority. 

Positives: The staff handling the emails are responsive, even if they can’t offer a timeline (I realise this situation is beyond their control).
-- JDA_9922, 2023-04-12

### *---- "Needs an offline mode"
To echo many other reviewers: since mandating creating an account and connecting to the internet every time it is opened, this app has gone from indispensable to burdensome. Anyone trying to “quickly” look up a medication while working on a ward with no mobile signal and tenuous NHS Wi-Fi will know exactly what I mean.
-- Drdrdrdrd, 2023-03-27

### *---- "Not working"
I just installed this app but I can't seem to get past start page. It doesn't work :(
-- J3llyBean!!, 2023-03-21

### *---- "Cannot access app."
iPhone 14 pro - when I open the app and try to log in it says 'invalid access token'. Developers do not help at all.
-- Jason Wing 93, 2023-03-20

### *---- "Can’t log in since iOS 16"
Like many users been unable to login with iOS 16 for months and months. The developers are aware of the issue but do not fix it. Why can’t they remove the registration and log in until the iOS app is fit for purpose as I really miss it
-- duncansby96, 2023-03-18

### *---- "Can’t login since new update"
Can’t login since new update.. frustrating 
PLEASE FIX IT
-- SE201287, 2023-02-06

### *---- "Can’t log in!"
The app is unusable. Cannot log in and have even tried to register a new email address but not allowing me to.
