App response is delayed and sluggish ### 2/5 — Unable to open app *2021-01-19, version 4.0.4* I’m unable to open this app on my iPhone 11 Pro Max , is there any issues with this current version ? ### 2/5 — Not up to expectation for medical students *2020-03-10, version 4.0.4* Not much of help, mostly old guidelines not recent one. Latest guidelines are provided by open access by most of the international societies so why pay so much for old guidelines ### 2/5 — Good idea, poor execution *2017-05-18, version 3.3.2* Search misses obvious things; "my library" has random items that can't be deleted, and it doesn't show guidelines I've purchased... etc. ### 2/5 — Logging on through Safari is better *2017-04-28, version 3.3.2* This app would be amazing if it wasn't so buggy. It freezes a lot when I just simply want to go to my library. I just started logging on through Safari because it looks better, works faster, and allows me to go into landscape mode. ### 2/5 — Slow! *2016-12-25, version 3.0.5* This is a somewhat convenient but not a quick reference guide. You can spend countless of minutes, waiting for the information to upload and sometimes it crashes. Additionally, I do not see a way to delete guidelines from my library, would be nice if app had enhancements every now and then. ### 3/5 — Low quality figures *2015-10-25, version 3.0.4* I purchased the ACC/AHA guidelines for cardiology and then downloaded this app and thought I would be able to study/utilize this in the hospital. The figures are low quality when you try to pinch and zoom, but the information is there. I would recommend the printed versions over the app version. ### 5/5 — Great App!!! *2015-02-18, version 3.0.1* Easy to use! Great quality of info! ### 5/5 — Great Update! *2015-02-18, version 3.0.1* This new updated version of the Guidelines Central app is much snappier, has great new utilities, and offers a more modern visual aesthetic and user experience. Operation is significantly bettered by the new functionality and a quicker ability to sift through guidelines content. ### 5/5 — Highly Recommended *2015-02-17, version 3.0.1* I've never seen such a comprehensive medical app available at no cost. A+ ### 5/5 — great update *2015-01-31, version 3.0.0* I liked this app before but now it's my new go to. Every practicing clinician should download this app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — So Poorly Executed *2026-02-02, version 6.1.0* This app doesn’t even seem finished? The search-by-specialty and by-organization areas are blank with no options to select. When you do find a guideline, it’s poorly reproduced from the versions you’d find online (hosted on Guideline Central’s own website). Tables are unreadable. Sections sometime just cut off in the middle and you can’t read the rest. ### 1/5 — Useless app *2025-11-16, version 6.0.7* Useless app. ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-03-01, version 4.0.4* Cannot open content - app is useless ### 1/5 — Good idea. Terrible app. *2017-08-31, version 3.3.3* Extremely slow and buggy. Have the latest iPhone but guidelines would take 2-3 minutes to load, crashing the app half of the time. They need to update this app. ### 1/5 — Force closes library *2017-08-30, version 3.3.3* Great idea, love the guidelines being available. But buggy and force closes the library section, so it's point less ### 1/5 — FREEZES UP! *2017-06-08, version 3.3.2* Very buggy, freezes up every time I use it. Essentially unusable. I'm glad I haven't spent any money on expensive content yet. ### 1/5 — Won't load content and freezes *2016-07-06, version 3.0.4* I downloaded a guideline but the app freezes most of the times I try to open it. Even if I get it open, it won't display anything except a white background with a few lines crossing the screen. ### 1/5 — Very Slow to load and freezes *2016-06-20, version 3.0.4* Very Slow to load and freezes ### 1/5 — Crashed 5 times in a row *2015-02-22, version 3.0.1* Seems like a good idea..... Now if only the app would work ### 1/5 — Extremely buggy *2015-01-30, version 3.0.0* Please do not update. The updated version is EXTREMELY BUGGY and I had to delete the app out of frustration. Waiting for the devs to fix the issues (sudden freezing, terrible loading time, deleted library etc). Until then I suggest sticking with the original app which I frankly had virtually no issues with. I just wish that I can revert to that app which unfortunately I wasn't able to back up. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great update! *2022-09-12, version 6.0.1* The new interface looks and feels great. Search is now very very fast! This app is so useful and so easy to use. ### 5/5 — The new update is a breakthrough *2022-09-12, version 6.0.1* The new version makes this clinical guideline app much more stable. ### 5/5 — Easy to Navigate Quickly *2022-09-08, version 6.0.0* This app and recent update makes the flow of patient care super quick and convenient. I feel confident that I’ll have the answers when I need them at the right time with the mobile app. You can personalize it and they made the guidelines very clean and easy to navigate. As a clinician I want a no hassle, clinical app to help at the bedside and this is a good one. ### 5/5 — Go-to App *2022-09-03, version 6.0.0* One of my most trusted app for a quick refresher on current guidelines, and also helpful for finding out when new guidelines have been released ### 5/5 — Super helpful! *2022-09-01, version 6.0.0* Probably one of the best apps out there for clinical practice guidelines. There are other guideline apps, but not as quite as comprehensive. Kudos! ### 5/5 — Very useful resources *2019-04-18, version 4.0.1* This app has extremely helpful and very important information. It’s nice to have access immediately available. ### 5/5 — New Update is GOLD! *2018-12-17, version 3.3.6* It looks like the developer recently released a new update and changed the interface. It made the app super easy to use and definitely improved the usability. I haven’t experienced any crashes since the update. I love being about to access all the relevant treatment information I need directly on my phone. Thanks Guideline Central! ### 5/5 — Endocrinologist *2016-10-13, version 3.0.4* Great app since the update and the team at IGC is very helpful. Love having a quick reference tool, saves me so much time! ### 5/5 — PA-C *2015-05-02, version 3.0.1* Great app with great customer support! ### 5/5 — Wow! *2015-02-22, version 3.0.1* SO much faster.
