Read by QxMD for Negative User Reviews
✓ 3/5 Stars because...Great idea, but many journals are missing...journals of pharmacy for example that have many useful studies. The impact factor is certainly not the same as NEJM; however, much information about therapy can be gleaned including many good review articles. Furthermore, I think having filters for types of articles/studies, RCT, retrospective, review, etc is very useful to eliminate alert/information fatigue. Awesome idea, needs more work, many thanks! Will update review if these features are introduced..Version: 7.8.0
✓ Not as good as before updateI have used Read by QxMD for better than 5 years to try to keep up with medical literature. Before the update 3-4 months ago, I could get article searches on several different subjects. However that option has been removed. I sent an email asking for either it to be returned or an explanation but only got a routine response that never addressed my issue. I tried again but no response in several weeks. Apparently it is no longer available . The app is still useful but much less. I am looking for an alternative..Version: 9.1.5
✓ Used to like it..Always seems to be faults with it. Currently never updates/refreshes after ios update. Contacted feedback, no response. Have to reinstall every time to make it work..Version: 8.2.2
✓ Doesnt workUsed to work perfectly years ago, now I am unable to access any articles as the page is forever stuck “authenticating” my institutional subscription..Version: 8.1
✓ Needs M1 Mac optimisationAs above.Version: 8.5.0
✓ SuggestionThis app would be way more useful if the abstract was included when we click on a title..Version: 7.0.3
✓ No longer worksThis was my favourite app on my phone, super useful and very easy to use. Now I am no longer able to login. I’ve opened a few tickets but have yet to hear back from the support team..Version: 8.2.2
✓ Good app when it works. Support does not existI enjoy the app when it works. Lately it has not. I emailed earlier for assistance. No one replies. I am not sure why. Usually my issue improves after a negative review. I wish I didn’t have to do it again yet here we are!.Version: 8.2.2
✓ App updateI updated the app and then could not login. Password reset did not work after multiple attempts. I logged in with Medscape pw and list all my collections, preferences etc. Customer support never answered my email..Version: 8.1
✓ Frequent time outsThe app has great potential but it repeatedly gives time outs on my iPhone XS Max with a broadband internet connection. I’m hoping that the problem will be corrected soon. The time outs occur when saving an article to a collection..Version: 7.5.0
✓ Poor database managementThis app fails the fundamental task of being able to access articles easily and bookmark and organize quickly. There are always api or app error alerts and it has become unusable because it’s not functional..Version: 8.6.0
✓ Can’t get it to workI’ve used the app for years. It was really great. But a month or so ago I stopped being able to use it because I was not able to enter a password to login as the keyboard didn’t open. I could enter an email to login; just not a password. Hope this gets read by developers. I will remove 1 star immediately once I can login. I have iPhone SE..Version: 8.1
✓ Stop working after last updateAs said above, program stop working after last update. All link from QMDx emails can not be open - some kind of “API error”.Version: 8.9.0
✓ Full of bugs and not integrating with TwitterThe app just keeps crashing each time you try share with Twitter . No help from the email support either.Version: 6.7
✓ MDExcellent on the go reference..Version: 6.12.1.0
✓ QxMD app wants to track youTo use this app, you need to give it open slather access to track you, what you read, your contacts etc. Unacceptable..Version: 8.1
✓ Intrusive Data CollectionThis is a solid database, and the customized alerts option is great. However, there's no need for them to be helping themselves to so much of my data! The privacy agreement's ridiculous. Three stars is generous for that reason alone..Version: 9.2
✓ The ONE feature I need is buggedCan’t log into my institution. The page just loads forever. Would give this five stars otherwise..Version: 7.19.0
✓ App is now broken and unusableThe previous version of this app was brilliant. But, since the last upgrade it crashes every time I try yo open it. Please fix it. I used to use this app daily and can no longer use it..Version: 5.6
✓ BuggyI have confirmed my sign up in my email and had it re-sent several times and it still prompts me to verify my subscription. Also my saved keywords get deleted almost instantly and the app doesn’t save them - I have to re-enter my search tearms constantly. If you could name your keyword search something else so a long string of search terms wouldn’t take up the whole page, that would be useful. Otherwise, this seems like a great idea for an app, love the connection to my library holdings.Version: 7.3.5
✓ Great for surveying articles, prohibitively slow to open, & only basic reader functionalityS.Version: 7.20.0
✓ Great appOne of my favourites - but recent update crashes on iPhone 11. Please fix!.Version: 7.18.1
✓ More filter functionsThe app is pretty great for exploring articles and keywords of interest. However, I wish it had more filtering functions. For example, under the Keywords page I could also filter for my journals of interest. This could be applied to the other tabs as well. If it’s already integrated then I wish it was made more obvious or easier to access..Version: 7.19.0
✓ Trouble gaining accessI have been trying to set up an account to no avail. I input all the requested data and once I reach the end of the form, create and account quickly flashes at the bottom of the screen and then disappears. Also, Social Work is an option the specialties for Social Work aren’t broad enough. I hope you take my concerns serious enough to discuss amongst your team. Good Day..Version: 7.8.0
✓ Can’t loginSo the app states that they’ve joined forces with Medscape & is asking me to login. Whenever I enter my credentials, I just get a spinning circle. Nothing. Please fix!.Version: 8.2.2
✓ No longer workingSince the newest update of the app, i an having terrible downloading articles. This is disappointing..Version: 7.0.2
✓ Previously greatUsed to work really well. Since latest updates/Medscape takeover it is barely usable. Difficult to log in. Then once in really really tough to get authentication with institution to open papers.Version: 8.2.2
✓ M1 MacPlease optimise for M1 Mac.Version: 8.2.1
✓ Feature request for a five star app!I like the new layout, faster pdf link detection compared to the previous versions, however I miss a key feature, the ability to swipe between abstracts. I have to close an abstract to be able to read the next one, it would be nice to be able navigate by swiping between them. Also would be nice to have the collage view in the My journal. While I read abstracts from one journal, I do not want to see the list of journals, it is distracting, and uses valuable screen space. Thank you however for the great app..Version: 7.0.3
✓ Login broken againThe most recent update broke the connection between my institution’s library/authentication and the app. Used to be my go to app that I would refer my students to..Version: 8.5.0
✓ Love the app…but can we have an Open Link ButtonLoving the app to keep track of science however I end up posting 10-20 articles a day and I really need a way to extract the link easier. Add a way to copy the link directly instead of just the PMID. I have to open a link I find in the text or search for the PMID to get the actual URL. Very annoying. There should also be dedicated Zotero support to add a link to my database and select a folder. There also needs to be a Share to Twitter/X function that adds the title and maybe even a screenshot of the Abstract as well as the link. This could also be done for Reddit. You could add subreddits you often post to and then select one in the drop-down. It would open up Reddit with the link and title and abstract added to the text..Version: 9.2
✓ Keeps crashingLoved the app but now since the updates it just keep crashing. Hoping for a fix soon!.Version: 8.9.2
✓ Phishing for your personal dataThe app asks for very sensitive information like licensing number etc. There is absolutely no need for them to know all of that other than selling your data..Version: 8.0
✓ Authentication bugs not addressedWas previously a great app. Since takeover by medscape, institutional authentication no longer works for my institution, rendering the app useless. Multiple open tickets to address this issue have not been addressed over a several month period with no contact from customer support. Disappointing as I really found this app useful in the past..Version: 8.1
✓ Login screen has dead fieldsPassword Login field is not clickable with new update. Cannot login from app. Works find online. Unusable since update..Version: 8.1
✓ Great When It WorksThe idea of an app that uses your institutional login to navigate pubmed and seamlessly pulls article PDFs is brilliant. Unfortunately, it seems to be able to pull the PDF less than half the time when you’re not searching NEJM or JAMA. The lack of reliability makes me unable to recommend the app..Version: 7.19.0
