That is 6 years ago now. ### 3/5 — Helpful but.. *2023-03-14, version 1.8.3* Love that I can look up landmark studies quickly but the app hasn’t been updated since 2019.. I wish they had new studies on the app ### 2/5 — Not great for obgyn *2022-07-21, version 1.8.3* Graat for medical specialties, but lacking in the field of OBGYN. ### 2/5 — needs update *2022-05-04, version 1.8.3* Can’t find trials newer than 2020 - the most important tend to be the latest. Needs an update! ### 4/5 — Please add anesthesiology *2022-03-24, version 1.8.3* This is a great app, but please add anesthesiology. ### 3/5 — Great..needs an update *2021-08-02, version 1.8.3* Plz update the trials ..nothing recent ### 4/5 — Please Add Anesthesiology *2020-08-24, version 1.8.3* I love this app, it is incredibly informative but please add anesthesiology ### 1/5 — No anaesthesia *2019-11-21, version 1.8.3* I bought this thinking it would have anaesthesia as a specialty but it doesn’t and nowhere did it say in the app description that anaesthesia was not included. Very odd given that it’s the largest in hospital specialty. ### 1/5 — Minimal trials *2019-09-04, version 1.8.3* With so many going on at all times its a real let down to see so few updates for the cost of this app. ### 4/5 — Great app but... *2019-06-22, version 1.8.2* It is frustrating that clicking on a study linked within the app (even those which have summaries) takes you out of the app to the journal club website in safari. This happens both within all summaries and the recent updates section. e.g. if I click on the POET study link within OVIVA summary, it takes me to safari rather than changing to POET summary inside the app This must surely be able to be fixed? If fixed would get 5* ### 1/5 — Very limited content. *2019-06-21, version 1.8.2* Not much in the lung cancer space. Was pretty excited about this app. Heard Peter Attia rave about it. Everything I searched for was not found. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — ...Not *2019-05-11, version 1.8.2* Lots of cardiology , less if the rest ### 1/5 — No anesthesiology *2019-05-07, version 1.8.2* What happened to anesthesiology? Do we not count?! ### 1/5 — MD *2018-12-02, version 1.8.1* I purchased the app based on one of the websites recommendations and the high ratings of the app. But now I feel that I wasted $7. The entire surgical specialties including general surgery, vascular, urology, and vascular surgery have only 17 studies and some of them are 10 years old. This is not what I expected. The description of the app is misleading. This is just a sample of some articles in each specialty. Actually some specialties has only one or two articles. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Please update this app *2026-03-22, version 1.8.3* Last update 2019. Please update. Happy to help contribute if there are issues even ### 1/5 — No update *2025-11-02, version 1.8.3* This is a trash app which has not been updated for past several years. Don’t waste yoir money ### 1/5 — App not updated from 2019! *2025-07-21, version 1.8.3* Hi there if your thinking to purchase this app I'd like you to know that i just bought the app and it's not being updated since 6 years now !!!! ### 1/5 — Out of date *2025-07-09, version 1.8.3* No longer updated :( ### 1/5 — No updates *2024-10-17, version 1.8.3* It appears to have been abandoned. No updates since 2019. Before that it was great. ### 1/5 — Fraud *2024-07-15, version 1.8.3* The app/website does not disclose its ongoing subscription of $7/month and the subscription won’t show on the subscription list on iPhone. I had $7 withdrawn from my account out of nowhere on the second month after my initial purchase. ### 1/5 — No new updated *2023-03-08, version 1.8.3* This is 3-years without an update. No worth it ### 1/5 — Can’t contact them, limited use for gen surg *2023-01-31, version 1.8.3* When I click the buttons to provide feedback or suggest an article, the app says my phone is not configured to send email. Cannot find an email address anywhere in the app or online for support. Limited utility for general surgery, not up to date with latest landmark trials. ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2022-02-01, version 1.8.3* Frustrated with how outdated this is ### 1/5 — UPDATE THE TRIALS PLEASE *2021-09-03, version 1.8.3* Nothing new on the app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Please update *2026-03-11, version 1.8.3* Awesome app but please update ### 5/5 — I love this app *2022-06-19, version 1.8.3* This is such a fantastic repository, it has saved me many a time from late prepping for journal clubs. Glad to see it is being actively updated too. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Great app for residents *2019-11-25, version 1.8.3* Love this app! It’s such a great resource to use when I need the condensed version of a major study fast and don’t have the time to spend reading and analyzing all the information. Thanks for this resource! Keep adding major surgical papers too!! ### 5/5 — Best for internist *2019-11-08, version 1.8.3* I am an internal medicine resident and this app gave so much to my knowledge, especially during round and one of the attendings cite an RCT. It gives you the summary in very nice way. ### 5/5 — In general *2019-08-20* Please try to include , evey landmark trial in every disease. You guys concetrated on mainly cardiology. Try to target every branch’s specific disease landmark trials ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2019-08-17, version 1.8.3* Invaluable for keeping track of landmark trials. Please continue to expand the library! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2018-08-10, version 1.8.1* Succinct summary of important clinical trials right on your phone. Great UI. Easy to sort between specialties and diseases. ### 5/5 — Concise and helpful. *2018-01-22, version 1.8* All the benefits of an actual journal club without the tiresome human interaction. Very worthwhile investment. ### 5/5 — Great app that keeps getting better *2018-01-05, version 1.8* This app is great to look and refresh your memory on the studies. There were not so many papers at the beginning but it keeps getting better as they add more and more almost daily I have noticed. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2017-12-14, version 1.7.1* I just wanted to verify for anyone reading the reviews that it's 2017 and the app is still being updated regularly. In fact, it added a landmark cardiology paper within less than a month. Love it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
