palmEM: Emergency Medicine App Reviews

Downloaded (from my past purchases) after long to use it again. To my surprise, it asked for subscription at every stage after asking me to sign up first. Even if I try to restore purchases, it is still shows the same thing over and over again. This needs to be fixed. Update: Sent them an email and they fixed access. Updating review to 4 stars. Still keeping one star as this migration should have been automatic and there might still be affected users.

As an EM resident, I use it all the time. Super helpful!

This has it all!! So much better than scrolling through up todate trying to find what you need.

As an emergency medicine physician, I can confidently say that palmEM is an invaluable resource. It has helped me in many situations.

I love how palmEM organizes information in a way that’s easy to find and easy to digest. This app has become an essential part of my daily practice. So glad I have it!!

Brilliant app! PalmEM is my go to guide in the ER. It’s accurate, easy to use, and perfect for quick on the spot info. A big thumbs up!

Anybody that works in the ED needs this app. Use it every shift!

Great app. Everything's narrowed down into clinically important info without the fluff.

I’m seriously impressed with this app. It’s depth of info and ease of use make it perfect for the ED. I find myself using it all the time on shift.

This app is a fantastic resource for the experienced clinician as well as the new learner. One of the more complete and focused educational resources available in EM.

This is an essential app for anyone working in EM. It’s easy to find what you need really quickly. It’s an ER encyclopedia!!

I’ve had the same problem with access others noted since the new subscription model rolled out. Contacted support who says their system shows I have full access but I still do not. Hoped this update would fix the problem but it did not. Too bad because this was a great app. EDIT: Problem resolved with current update. Rating revised to 5 stars.

This app is very well designed and streamlined so you can find what you need really quickly. It has become my most used app in the ED. Good for studying too.

I cannot find the note section which the previous version had and it seems I have lost around 4 years of notes. No response from the contact provided for help/questions. Update 1/2023 They have reached out multiple times over email with helpful solutions and reasonings why this happened. They explained their previous inability to inform/update users regarding the planned update as well as the reasonings for the update and the reason for having to (currently, they may be back!) remove notes.

I love this app. But, I cannot rely on the current edition due to out of date ACLS and PALS protocols, among other things. 5 stars in the past. 3 stars now. Please update this edition.

No update in 3 years just beware

Boils down the essentials, keeps me from missing things to rule out.

This is a great app to have especially for IDMTs!

Great app. Easy to use and organized

Would be great if you add calculators

Lots of great material. I'm glad I bought it. I don't really use it on the job, but its great for review. And they are updating and adding to it. Great work!

Very good, but I couldn't find STEMI or NSTEMI guidelines. Otherwise worth the money.

A must have for every EM resident/attending. It's quick and straight to the point.

Do not need to pay for the PedEM with this app since it is included. Wish I knew that prior to purchasing both. It is a wealth of information on all things medical. Great app and well worth the money.

I am a second year resident and have found this to be very useful. Good algorithms, drug dosages, etc

This app continues to improve every update. This is the perfect app for reference in the emergency department.

Each update makes the app even better! The recent search and addition of ortho films are great! Images turned out so clear... Please keep them coming! Love this app

Great reference to have not only for ER rotations but comes in handy ON the floor as well as outpatient setting. Thanks for the regular updates. Clearly one of the most useful apps I have

Well-written, easy to find information, nicely researched. Very useful fundamental information. Great for residency and medical school rotations. Inexpensive.

Great app. Maybe you guys can add images of procedures or maybe video links?

I use this app on every shift. Also great to read during downtime. I especially like how they frequently add more information. A must buy!

Excellent quick reference app. Constantly being updated with additional material including images.

I'm an R2 family medicine resident. Great navigation. Well-designed. Useful information.

I work in a fast paced ED, LOVE this app! Used almost every shift! Highly recommend

Easy to use and efficient enough

Exactly what I need and when I need it!!

Totally awesome! Relevant info, concise format, and easy to navigate.

Love this app use everyday in ER .

Great app. Helpful pictures. Logical descriptions, workups, results and treatments. Not a fan of buying apps but TOTALLY WORTH THE $.

AWESOME!!! This app is well organized with a great user interface. As a med student, this is a great reference to review before presenting a patient

This is a great handy tool to double check references without looking through books. A must have for Residency and when you work in the real world ER

Even though this app is about the core content, UI is everything for mobile applications. Please incorporate the standard iOS gestures, such as swiping from the left side to the right to go "back" a page.

Great outline format for the most important topics. Awesome features like Broselow tape, note taking (that is searchable in the app).

I am replacing a more expensive one with this app. Only compliant- update with a swipe back feature. Needs it for faster functionality.

The knowledge of how to treat snake bites may not apply to very many people, however it’s important to know. Please consider adding CroFab (Crotalidae polyvalent immune fab) to the antidote section.
