The current version of Epocrates, 1.1325, supports Android phones with a firmware version of 2.1 through 2.3.x, and version 4.x. Android OS 3.x is not supported. If your device has Android version 2.0 or lower, Epocrates will not be displayed in Google Play/Play Store (Android Market). If you have a Motorola Droid X, please view this article.

To check your firmware version, please do the following:

1. Go to the applications area of your phone.
2. Select "Settings."
3. Scroll towards the bottom and select "About Phone."
4. What is your "Firmware" or "Android Version?"
