Pros and cons of Pharmacist's Letter® app for iPhone and iPad

Pharmacist's Letter® app good for

Recent problems fixed. Better than ever! 1st class reference again although my confidence was shaken after last months loss of connectivity (please let subscribers know next time you need to pull the plug, PL). Rating has improved from 0 to 5 stars.
This is so easy to use!! Convenient , educational , and resourceful..... Best continuing education app there is!
Like that I can research pretty much any topic. The CE capabilities is where this app falls short. Being able to access your CEs completed and to also complete CEs from my phone would push my rating to a 5. The current way of reading each issue and being able to complete the ce has just a few glitches. Its a little clumsy when navigating each question and moving to the next question when entering an answer
I have been a subscriber of The Pharmacist Letter for many, many years and was glad to see this app created for it. Ive been using it for over a year or more now and am very happy with the ease of use. It is so nice to peruse the great information between appointments and complements well my other sources for continuing education. It is especially nice to have the vast amount of new information filtered and condensed in a way so that I am somewhat familiar with MOST EVERYTHING that is going on in this constantly changing pharmaceutical industry. Well done and Thanks!
Not sure why all the negative reviews. Still use this app often with no issues. Been using this app on iPhone for over a year now with no issues. Now with the new update, looks great on the iPad. Great job Devs!!!
Huge thanks for finally updating the app. I was an avid reader until I got the app, then relied on it even more until the problem with ios 7. Ashamed to say I just barely read it lately, as I prefer the app. Glad its back to functional form. Now maybe Ill subscribe to NMCD too.

Some bad moments

Whats the point of an app if you cant log in. Yes info entered is correct
I love Pharmacists Letter. The resource itself is invaluable; nowhere else can I find the breadth and depth of information succinctly and clearly stated. The app however, has clearly been abandoned. When I used to be able to login to it, I found it slow, unresponsive, and frequently crashed. Even though the screen size of the average iPhone has changed dramatically over the last 2 years, I have seen no effort to take advantage of it. No longer can you login with your CE ID#; as such the app has been worthless. By all means subscribe to Pharmacists Letter - but stay clear of this app.
Please fix the ability to sign in with your CE ID, otherwise I think this app may be useless for a lot of us. It was a great app before!
Good app, need an iPad version which will be easier to view than the iPhone version on the iPad.
Update 2: started having issues while uploading quiz results. Support is silent so far :( Update: I must say the developer is listening and search is included now :) Id hope to see more caching ability. I have been subscriber for last 6-7 yrs. Would be nice to have an option to sync last few yrs to device for quick local- no connection required access. Very happy with latest improvements. Nice but dont stop here.
App does not load. Prompts user to delete app and reinstall, but that did not resolve the issue. Im very disappointed.
