Great resource back upšŸ˜‰

Version 12.16.0 crashing upon opening in all ipad models… was quickly corrected in ver 12.16.2šŸ‘šŸ¼

Love this app but…

I use the AI tool a lot, now it doesn’t work at all 😭😭😭😭

App crashes on opening (iPadOS 18.5, recent update) FIXED

Fixed in more recent update - thank you!

Laggy, so much potential

Used to be a goto for med interaction checks. And medscape has good content. But the app as a portal to all of this missing the mark due to poor optimization and crashes.

I like the cme offerings, quick and easy to complete and informative.

Display issue

Still not optimised for iPads’ displays!!!

I used to love

I used to love this app but for over the past year its almost unusable with the ads causing the screen to ā€œJumpā€ when using. It used to not do this and is so annoying that I use it less and less. Developers you want the app used more? Fix the screen jumping

Good but with issues

This app freezes way too much!

Supported by abortionists

Advertising money comes from a service that wants to sell abortion services and abortion pills. There’s a lot of money in murder. Cannot use this app in good conscience any more.

Not saving credits..Not getting credited..

Topic finished but Not saving credits..Not getting credited.. Please fix

Pretty good-shouldn’t turn music off

Useful when needing to quickly look things up. However, when opening the app and listening to music or a podcast the music stops.

Excellent resource for Nurses and all healthcare professionals.

Thank you for maintaining such high standards.

App? No. Website? Yes.

WebMD in general is good: recommended to us by several Doctors. App? No. Website? Yes. For many reasons not worth listing here.

Need a no ad version

In the past I enjoyed Medscape as a quick reliable resource. The ads now popping up are affecting upload, distract from material and there seems to be no way to remove them. It is a shame but I will now be researching another app that is respectfully of the practice of medicine.

This Week in Cardiology

Excellent, wide ranging content. Only negative is how fast the narrator speaks. Admittedly there is much to cover but sometimes Dr. M goes so quickly it is hard to absorb the info

Can be useful but...

The app has some good tools. Some of the articles are based on limited information or small studies. I would prefer the ability to sort articles, particularly, by posting date.

Used to be my go to app

Used to use this as my pharm bible as a resident, now has way too many adds, laggy and glitchy. Moving onto something better now. Update: I was instructed to update the app which I did but still very laggy, lots of waiting around for searches to load, empty advertisement boxes when searches load and by the time you tap on the item you want, the empty advertisement box disappears and the selection list repositions causing you to tap on a random selection then wasting more time trying to go back

Needs to improve

Used to be a great resource for CME, but now both the site and the app, particularly on the iPad are not very helpful or easy to navigate. Can’t find new see me, hard to track already completed CE unless you’re on the website I was hoping that the app would improve so that I could use the education options on the go. Attempts to update to the newest app we’re not successful in clearing up my problems. Hopefully this changes.

Used to be great

I’ve been using this app regularly since I was a student, but the last few updates have really dragged it down. It is so laggy and slow now. The change to a drop down arrow after searching for a drug was an especially bad decision. Might be time to look elsewhere for my go to app.

AI has slowed it down

This app has been my go to drug guide for years. I don’t know if it’s the inclusion of AI that has ruined it, but the app so painfully slow now.

Crashing frequently

Lately it crashes frequently, it also seems to use a lot of memory and heats up phone as it is opened longer, presumably loading all the ads. However the contents/resources are good
