## mobilePDR Reviews in United States

### **--- "Unreadable when dark mode is iOS default"
The app would be fine if it could be read. It is not properly configured to display in dark mode. The text does not turn white on the dark background when the iOS dark mode is activated as the default display setting, so the app presents black text on a black background. The developers have had more than a year to respond to this issue, and they simply have not.
-- zealousagenda, 2024-05-23

### **--- "No dark mode in UI"
No dark mode please add
-- Dr.Pharmacist88, 2024-05-14

### ***-- "Great resource, but…."
This app is a great resource, as a medical student I can testify that it is extremely useful. I have a few gripes though, the app can be pretty buggy at times and also there is no option to switch the app itself from dark to light mode, I have to switch the setting on my phone in order to be able to switch it on the app. The premade dark mode “integration” is awful, the information is written in dark grey on a black background so it is very difficult to read. I don’t know if the development team abandoned this app or not, but if they could fix it, the app would be perfect.
-- Bryanhdez15, 2024-05-11

### *---- "Why the black background?"
Not sure why the app would randomly have a black background behind the black text of the drugs.  Guess what…unreadable.  Please fix this bug.
-- LMDX2024, 2024-03-02

### **--- "No Longer Identifies Pills"
This app stopped identifying pills a while ago. Now it says “No Result Found” For even the most basic medications.
-- PaLySa, 2024-02-20

### *---- "Too dark"
The background is so dark I can’t even read the text.
-- Barilyito, 2023-10-06

### *---- "Needs fixing"
Often illegible because the font and background become black on black
Too bad this classic reference has been allowed to deteriorate
-- Attended the live conference, 2023-09-29

### *---- "Bad"
After i upgrade i cannot read the description of the medication they will turn black on background.
-- lguzom, 2023-09-15

### ***-- "Dark background needs to go"
I can’t read anything due to the dark background. Is there a way to fix this
-- Per help, 2023-09-09

### *---- "Could be useful"
I used to purchase hard copies of the PDR. I thought this app would be helpful and I suppose if the developers actually used the app, it could be as helpful as the print version. It’s hard to tell the utility of the app because the text is not legible. Dark text on a dark background does not make for easy reading - or for reading at all! So this renders the app useless!
