### 2/5 — Very useful, but bugging app

I frequently use the app as it is very resourceful in my clinical practice. However, I keep needing to log in every time I shut down the app. Please fix this.

This app is amazing for reviewing topics during the rounds

### 5/5 — Incredible App

*2022-12-04, version 3.8*

MD here and general medical officer for the Navy. For those who don’t know, that means I’m expected to be a primary care doc with only an internship. This app is absolutely incredible and gets me through the day. User interface is so smooth and well organized. More concise and up to date than “UpToDate” which is notoriously behind on new research. Highly recommend for anyone in the medical field.

DynaMed is the best comprehensive, organized and updated clinical education tool for healthcare personnel.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Não funciona

*2024-05-30*

Fica sempre carregando e baixando as informações. Nunca consegui usar. Simplesmente, não funciona.

### 1/5 — Hoarding Storage Bug

*2024-05-12, version 4.6.2*

The app grows over time from it’s original size, with the offline content downloaded of about ~4GB, to an enormous 30+ GBs. I have seen this happen on 3  of my devices. They need to fix this.

### 1/5 — Just skip and subscribe to UpToDate

*2023-10-08*

Dynamed not clearly recommend treatment pathways and abx like utd does and most certainly not with bold face, easy to reach tables, indenting and paragraph spacing. Where are the pictures, diagrams, illustrations, information for patients? 

Dynamed absolutely pales in comparison to UTD in any medical setting. It’s a cheap excuse of anything else available to a practicing clinician and barely suits a medical student.  I would never pay a nickel for it to use, yet forced to use it since our institution chose the 4th rate option to save money. As a result, most of the attendings and housestaff across multiple services signed up independently to UTD, effectively wasting any potential economic savings with Dynamed.

**Developer response:** Hi, we are sorry that you're having issues with DynaMed. Can you write to us at DynaMedFeedback@ebsco.com. Kindly include a description of the issue you are facing and we can investigate further.

### 1/5 — Never able to use it since it’s stuck downloading all the time

*2023-08-11, version 4.2*

Badly made app. Tries to download every time I try to use it and gets stuck on 99%.

### 1/5 — Malfunction

*2023-03-17, version 4.0.1*

Application stops at 25% and I only chose the online option not even the full app !!

### 1/5 — App stopped working after update

*2021-04-28, version 3.4.3*

I used this app everyday for work and school. Stopped working after update

### 1/5 — Crashes on opening. Unusable.

*2021-03-20, version 3.4.2*

Just got the app in the last few weeks. On both my iPad (2018 iPad Pro) and my iPhone 11  Pro, the app crashes as soon as I open.  Presumably the developer is seeing the crash reports.

Please update.

### 1/5 — The app does not open on my iPhone

*2021-03-15, version 3.4.2*

For at least a MONTH now, the app is impossible to open on my iPhone. It closes itself within one second of opening it. Support is nonexistent.

### 1/5 — Great content but app crashes on iOS

*2021-03-03*

Great content but app crashes on iOS 
Please fix

### 1/5 — Not starting

*2021-03-01*

Opens the first time, keeps downloading offline data and once closed, does not open again. Already tried reinstalling twice, same things recur again

### 5/5 — Dynamed the best

*2026-07-23, version 6.0.1*

This is the best app for Medical professionals

### 5/5 — Consultant Physician

*2026-06-26*

Impressively comprehensive. Superb medical platform

### 5/5 — مرجع طبي موثوق

*2025-07-20, version 5.2*

من أفضل المصادر الطبية ، انصح به بشدة .

### 5/5 — The beast app I’ve ever had

*2024-12-14, version 4.8*

Almost all my medical decisions are based on DynaMed information. The most trusted app for evidence-based medicine

### 5/5 — PSA for those experiencing user interface bugs like in-topic word search or absent topic outlines

*2024-10-16*

Fully uninstalling the app then reinstalling fixes said bugs and restores all mobile app features. After that, everything works fine. Couple with a database that's often updated, this is a valuable point-of-care tool.

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your feedback!

### 5/5 — Great program

*2024-02-04*

I have used DynaMed, Epocrates and UpToDate. Dynamed gives you more bang to your buck than UpToDate which is $300 + for nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Epocrates CME are not as easy to claim like Epocrates.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your 5-star review!!!

### 5/5 — New but valued app

*2023-12-05, version 4.3.2*

Very good medical app for practice

### 5/5 — Much better than UpToDate

*2023-06-01*

I am a resident physician. I use DynaMed all the time for concise information regarding guideline based evaluation and management of patients. 

Why is it better than UpToDate? Because in UpToDate you get lost with so many links driving you to different pages and having to scroll back and forth between resources. 

In Dynamed everything is neat and organized, concise and summarized with updated ACP based guidelines. 

You can also finish reading the summary which is also expanded enough and go down to more detailed, specific recommendations. 

Keep up the good work. You already have lots of clinicians following you.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your 5-star review!!!

### 5/5 — 편리함

*2023-03-27*

최신 정보를 근거 문헌과 함께 제공해 주어 보기
편리합니다.

### 5/5 — Idioma

*2023-03-01*

Muito bom! Eu consigo entender o inglês, mas em português ia agilizar e ajudar pessoas que não conseguem
