User Reviews: Journal Club

Top reviews

  • Incredibly useful

    This app is incredibly useful. I'm a pharmacy student and have always wanted something that could condense all major landmark trials into one place. Highly recommended!
  • Very Well Done

    Going through literature is a time consuming process that sometimes does not yield any useful information or even incorrect information from poorly done trials. Journal Club save me time since I know I can trust the quality of source.
  • Exceptional Resource

    I use this app to look up details everyday for EBM on ICU rounds. I feel it provides a lot of need-to-know information in a concise manner. Definitely easier to refer to this app for most of my evidence needs. It is not a complete list of journals but it has everything you need to practice in an academic setting. Enjoy!
  • Need to add more trials

    I think this is a wonderful app and would be worth much more money if they add a comprehensive list of trials. Only a handful of trials are listed. However, some of the most commonly sited ones are listed.
    This should be regarded as a work in progress.
    Kudos to the author.
  • Amazing for medical students/residents/health professionals

    Expert opinion is becoming less and less important. The future of all clinical decision making will increasingly rely on evidence in literature. This app breaks down all the major trials that guide our decision making process into bite sized pieces of information that makes medical literature fun to read!
    Whether you're trying to make the right decision to help a patient or impress your team this app is a great place to quickly look for relevant information. Try it!!
  • Great summaries for certain specialties

    FYI, if your app is crashing, just uninstall and reinstall it! This is advice from Dr. Plante last time, when I had issues. No hiccups since. If not, Dr. Plante is very quick to respond.

    I've had this app for several months now. It's a great resource if you happen to be practicing in one of the specialties it has more summaries of, i.e. cardiology. On other subjects like ID, I don't see nearly as many articles.

    All in all, great tool! Keep it up.
  • Useless

    Update: thanks for big fix! No longer crashing and unusable.

    I have only looked at the Cardiology section and it is fantastic. Seems like "all" the major articles are here. Updates very frequently. Even articles released this month are here! Can sort articles by name or date. Can view articles from all subspecialties at one or filter by subspecialties eg Cardiology. Can further filter by disease eg heart failure. The summaries themselves are well written with "bottom lines" first followed by a more in depth summary and analysis of the article.
  • Perfect for Rapid Review of Landmark Trials

    The app has always worked smoothly on all of my iPhones. I had a great experience suggesting a landmark trial that was not in the app.. Two weeks after I sent the email Boom! They rolled and update with my request. Keep up the good work!
  • Repeated crashes

    Newest version repeatedly crashes right after opening. Without a bug fix, it is completely useless.

    When this app was working in the past, cardiology section had the most trials. Though even in cardiology, there were multiple instances when I was looking for a specific trial, it was missing. Other sections are extremely sparse.
  • Not nearly enough clinical trials included for $4.99!!!

    Am I missing something? I'm shocked at the 5 star reviews. This is the most incomplete list of Clinical Trials I've seen in any app! Seriously? I paid $4.99 when other free apps have a much bigger database of relevant clinical trials. Very nice format of the trials included but just not enough of them to be worth $4.99. Hopefully many more trials will be added and then this could be a "go-to" app bc as I stated the interface itself is really great. Such a shame.
