Poor User interface
The user interface on bugs and drugs 1.0 was better. This one is clunky, text size looks weird on screens.

Description
We are pleased to release this new version of Bugs & Drugs.
Bugs & Drugs is a comprehensive, evidence-based reference for physicians, dentists, pharmacists, nurse practitioners and other health care practitioners.
Bugs & Drugs provides clinicians with the latest recommendations for the appropriate use of antimicrobials and the optimal treatment and prevention of infectious diseases. It is also a key component of antimicrobial stewardship efforts. This reference can optimize patient outcomes and minimize the unintended consequences of antimicrobial use, including toxicity, superinfections, resistance, and unnecessary treatment costs.
Bugs & Drugs is divided into six sections:
1. Antibiotics
2. Treatment recommendations for infections in children and adults (including selected ophthalmic, fungal, and parasitic infections),
3. Recommendations for the prevention of infections,
4. Treatment and prophylaxis of dental infections,
5. Infections in Pregnancy and
6. Microbiology
The Bugs & Drugs app is well suited for healthcare practitioners looking for an evidence-based mobile reference and provides therapeutic options in a clear, concise manner.
Once installed, you do not need internet access to use the content. Internet access is only required for initial installation of the app and to receive updates.
The content is prepared by Dr. Edith Blondel-Hill (Medical Microbiologist/Infectious Diseases Specialist, Kelowna General Hospital) and Ms. Susan Fryters (Antimicrobial Stewardship/Infectious Diseases Pharmacist, Alberta Health Services) with the help of over 40 reviewers with expertise in infectious diseases, infection prevention & control, microbiology, pharmacy, and Public Health.
Users should seek a doctor’s advice in addition to using this app and before making any medical decisions.

Auto Correct
The search bar is almost useless as autocorrect is never right when spelling these bugs. Very frustrating.
Strong resource, poor execution
Great resource. Have been using the paper copy for years since medical school. This app has a very frustrating autocorrect rendering the search function almost unusable. Please get rid of the autocorrect or make it more usable. If changed, will be willing to change review.
Typing
Honestly, the autocorrect is horrible. If that was fixed I would give it a 5, but it’s unbearable. You have to erase your word about 4 times before it lets you type the one you want!
Typing issue
Great app, but as others have said when typing it autocorrects to something else incorrect and makes searching very difficult.
Long-standing typing issue
Love the content all contained in the app but there’s been a long-standing issue for nearly a year: anytime I am typing letters into the search bar it seems to autocorrect to letters other than what I’ve typed to create a nonsensical word. This makes searching anything a huge pain. Any plans to fix this?
Version 2.0
Excellent resource for information but the layout and interface of version 2.0 are terrible. I find it a lot harder to read at a glance than the old version, and it seems slower to load results. Hopefully this gets fixed with the next update.
The definitive resource
This is THE definitive resource for antimicrobial prescribing in Alberta, now available in a readily-accessible form. The fact that it is free (for a limited time) is such a kind gesture and appreciated!
