Frequently Asked Questions

Find out what Unbound users ask most about our products for Android.

How do I manage the subscription that I purchased through the Play Store using my Google Play account?

Subscription applications, including free trials, purchased through the Play Store automatically renew via a default setting within each user’s Google Play account. Users must disable this renewal feature within their individual Google Play account in order to avoid the automatic renewal of their ongoing subscription. Instructions on how to manage the subscription auto-renewal feature within your Google Play account can be found on Google’s Support page.

Unbound Medicine offers a 30-day free trial on select titles for users who download from the Play Store. This trial uses the standard trial and subscription parameters as created by Google. At the end of the free trial, the user’s Google Play account will automatically renew the subscription for a period of one year unless this feature is disabled. This charge will be applied by the Google. Google has its own policies regarding the purchase and return of applications purchased through the Play Store. Users seeking to cancel a purchase through Google Play should refer to Google’s Play Store policies and contact Google Support to discuss their purchase.

How can I purchase Unbound Medicine products for my Android phone or tablet?

Applications can be purchased through the Unbound Medicine website or through the Google Play Store. Products purchased through our website can be accessed across platforms (both iOS and Android devices), however purchases made through the Google Play Store can only be installed to Android devices.

How do I create a username and password for my account?

Once a purchase has been completed through our website, a confirmation page will appear. You have the option to "Setup your Account" on the confirmation page (next to the product icon). From this link you can create the username and password, which will allow you to complete the download to your device.

If you should miss this link or prefer to create this information at a later time, please refer back to the registration email. You will receive 2 emails (a receipt confirmation of your purchase, as well as a separate registration email). This email is sent once the purchase is complete, and contains a link to register your account. If you are not seeing the email in your inbox, also check a spam/junk folder or contact the Unbound Medicine support team for further assistance.

If you have a serial number, you can visit our redemption website to register your account.

If your purchase was made through the Google Play Store, the application should begin updating right away and will not need a username or password on your device. Instead your purchase is recognized through your Google Play account and can be located in your My Apps & Games list.

I want to transfer a product from my old device to a new Android phone or tablet. How can I do this?

To transfer devices you must have an active subscription. Users with expired subscriptions must renew the subscription to transfer it to a new device. Our products are licensed for use by one individual on a smartphone and one tablet at a time.

Select "Update Content", then "OK" once the content is up to date.

Jump To

To find an entry quickly and to avoid scrolling through an entire index, use the Jump To feature. From the Index screen, tap the "Jump to..." text box located near the top of the screen. Begin typing the word you’d like to find. The list will automatically scroll to the location in the index that matches the characters you type.

Favorites

The Unbound™ Platform allows you to mark important information as a Favorite so you can return to it easily at any time. To view a list of your Favorite records, tap the Favorites entry at the top of your list of resources on the home screen. (You must have at least one favorite for the Favorites entry to appear).

To create a Favorite, first navigate to the record you’d like to reference. Next, simply press the star icon in the lower right hand corner of the screen.


Once you press the star icon, you will momentarily see a message confirming which record you’ve added.


The highlighted star remains and indicates that the record is now a Favorite.

, return to the record and simply press the star again, returning the star to blue (as above).
