This is a great app. It has a large database of trials to review. I found it very helpful for my clinical rotations and currently use it to brush up on trials for my current practice. The new update looks beautiful. I highly recommend this app.

The only thing I find lacking: the breadth and scope isn't quite where I'd like it to be. I've wondered "why are we using X instead of Y for Z?" with some cases and found nothing in the app even though there ended up being a "landmark" paper. I understand that the entries take time to make and that's probably why; it'd be perfect with just a bit more content.
Buy this app. You won't regret it.
I consider this app a great idea. Save time, gives a brief, schematic but complete at the same time overview of the most important articles. Highly recommended or who wants to keep up with updates.
This app is awesome for referencing important clinical trials. I use it pretty much every day. As a third year student, I get pimped on evidence-based practice pretty regularly, and this app has been useful in that regard time and again. Highly recommended!
Includes links to the PDFs that really work. Many ways to sort trials. The explanations are easy to read, include lots of stats and even the criticisms of the studies.
This app holds great potential for physicians in constant need of up-to-date evidence based material to apply to their practice and remain abreast of the ever advancing science of medicine.
However it is by no means inclusive of all relevant research in any given specialty, let alone being updated often enough. I sincerely hope the creators become cognizant of the need for physicians to have at their tips an app like this that allows them to practice EBM without investing inordinate amounts of precious time.
An app every clinical pharmacist should have. Very user friendly interface and it gives access to the full article as well for only $2.99! I hope to see more trials added. Great job so far, very pleased.
Really excited about this app and having at my finger tips a very decent assortment of landmark paper summaries. Quick read, succinct, easy to use, I'm super excited to be able to use it just as I am about to start up residency. It might not be 100% comprehensive, yet, but I'm confident it'll quickly accelerate and build up a comprehensive collection. So why not buy now?!
Journal Club for iPhone is a very nice new app that is well worth its $2.99 price. It offers user-friendly access major studies in internal medicine by name, year published, specialty and disease. IF the study you are looking for is in the data base - you can easily find it in no more than 2-3 seconds.
Each study begins with a brief "Bottom Line" followed by a 1-2 paragraph helpful description of Major Points. Then follow sections on Design, Methodology, Outcomes, Findings, Funding, you name it - each with full details.
As a new app - there has already been a tremendous amount of data accumulated and consolidated into a very well organized format.
The 3 areas I'd like to see in future updates are: i) expansion of the data base; ii) a bit more discussion on validity and impact of each study; iii) an app for ipad as well as iphone - but this is a GREAT start to what could become the best app on the medical literature. I LOVE having ready access to key points on many studies I previously had difficulty remembering. THANK YOU for making this app!
The app is not, of course, a comprehensive library of every important study for every speciality, but the authors are adding relevant studies serially the the summaries that are already here constitute a great starting point. Further, the summaries themselves are concise, relevant, helpful, and well-written.
