EM:RAP - Medical Education

September 12, 2024

Too tired from your call shifts to lift your hand to your phone and play more EM:RAP content? Don't fear, the Autoplay release is here! Some media will now autoplay by default, providing a more immersive viewing experience. If you prefer not to use this feature, you can easily turn off autoplay via the Profile tab. We've also squashed some bugs that were getting in the way of downloading media. Downloading is now smoother and more reliable. Finally, we've increased the referral reward from $25 to $50, so now you can earn even more when you refer a friend!

The practice of medicine has something in common with software development: sometimes you need to perform surgery, sometimes you need to address the whole system, and sometimes you need both. This release contains a plethora of infrastructural changes to support some exciting new features coming down the IV! We have also included a bit of plastic surgery for the UI, sutured up some rare crashes, and stabilized the app’s ability to handle scrolling through a large volume of content.

According to Frank Zappa in the album Joe’s Garage, “the white zone is for loading and unloading only.” It turns out, Zappa has been referring to the EM:RAP iOS app this whole time, because if you clicked on the Continue Listening carousel, you were treated to a white zone that did nothing else but load, and load, and load ad nauseam. We’ve fixed that issue in this release, and have set about listening to the rest of Zappa’s discography, just in case he has any further bug reports to share.

They say sharing is caring, and this new release of the EM:RAP app lets user share episodes, chapters and playlists. Share your favourite medical educational content with your colleagues and find out what they’ve been listening to and watching. Share, care and maybe even overshare with the latest release of EM:RAP, available now on the App Store. This release also includes bugfixes and improvements for the continue playing feature, search and playlists.

The problem with all-you-can-eat buffets is that they make you feel really full, and you always leave food on your plate. Likewise, our monthly EM:RAP episodes fill your head with so much interesting stuff that it feels overloaded, and you’re probably missing out on some key learning. To solve this, we’re changing things up. Instead of big monthly episodes, we’re going weekly. But if you prefer the buffet style, don’t worry. We’ll still gather everything into a monthly digest for you. We’ve also made the app better for offline use, with new menus for easier downloading, favoriting, and playlist management. Plus, we’ve tweaked the media player for a smoother experience. It’s a significant update, so grab the latest version of the EM:RAP iOS app now!

We’re getting awfully excited for spring! So excited, in fact, we’ve started our cleaning early. We’ve metaphorically shaken a few bugs from our rug, and not-quite-literally replaced the batteries in our smoke detectors. What’s more, we’ve fixed a number of issues related to downloading and offline playback, and have even added several new performance enhancements with more on the way. So stay tuned! We’re as busy as beavers, keeping our iOS app running in tip-top shape.

They say the closer you get to moving at the speed of light, the slower time passes for you, relative to an observer at rest. If that’s the case, then our app must have been traveling at warp speed because it certainly appeared its flow of time had slowed to a crawl. So slowly did it crawl that you, the observer at rest, may have noted the app really didn’t do much at all from time to time. It felt laggy or might freeze up now and again, as if it was moving in slow motion while slingshotting around a quantum singularity and entering a time slip. We here at EM:RAP have slowed down the app in an effort to speed it up. That is, we’ve addressed the bug which made the app underperform—almost as if we’ve dropped out of warp and synchronized our clocks. Choppy performance is now a thing of the past, and routine freezes have become a distant memory. We’ve also released a number of visual fixes, as well as improving the favoriting experience. So why not plot a course and engage those engines with our latest EM:RAP iOS app update.

Some people mark the arrival of Fall with an uptick in their pumpkin spice consumption. Others dutifully harvest fresh vegetables from their backyard gardens—while some us choose to recapture our youth by donning oversized sweaters and rolling around in dead leaves. We here at EM:RAP have chosen to usher in the spooky season with a chilling update to our iOS app. We’ve toiled in the laboratory and mixed potions in our cauldron, all in an effort to add support for our brand new, spine-tingling DARK MODE. Now you can consume the same medical education you love in a format that’s sure to set your pulse racing. So go ahead and grab this latest update, but don’t forget to enable dark mode in your device’s system settings. We’re sure you’ll agree: the app’s new look is a real scream.

Shaving can be tedious, can’t it? Lathering up your skin, dragging a sharpened piece of metal across it, applying a tourniquet when things go horribly wrong. It’s no wonder people grow beards, but even beards need regular pruning to keep neat and tidy. With this release, think of our iOS app as a beard. We’ve plucked and trimmed and tidied it up just for you. We’ve combed some of the tangly bits out of our user interface, and what’s more, we’ve even prepared a new way of alerting you to upcoming EM:RAP events. So give this update a try, why don’t you? You’ll have never looked so dashing.
