Even with a paid subscription, access is limited to 5 articles when I open from the app. ### 1/5 — Adds *2025-03-22* Are highly invasive, and your only interested in captive capital , tired of obstructive methods , notice I do not qualify for your review applications either , so you consider my concepts , limited in use for your critical needs ?, that is ok too, that is deemed by your intelligence also ?, applied !!!! ### 3/5 — Crashes opening saved articles *2024-11-23* Great information but the app is unstable with random crashes, especially with saved. ### 5/5 — I love it! *2024-08-05* Thank you very much for this wonderful app! I used to read all medical news in you site, but I didn’t know that you have an app! ### 5/5 — Crashes on opening *2023-10-10* I don't know what happened to this app, but it now crashes immediately upon opening. Every single time. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, given that it has not been updated in three years. Edited: Yay, they updated it and it works now! **Developer response:** The 3.1.7 release addresses and resolves issues occurring on iOS 17 ### 1/5 — Crashes on opening *2023-09-26* I don't know what happened to this app, but it now crashes immediately upon opening. Every single time. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, given that it has not been updated in three years. ### 5/5 — Awesome and relevant information *2019-08-12* Medical information and the way they presented it is great. Up to date. Highly recommend. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2018-08-26* Crashes on loading favorites and swiping to refresh screen. ### 2/5 — Needs an "All" tab *2016-12-09* It would be helpful to have an "All" tab that consolidates updates from all of the topic areas that you have selected. Since the app doesn't have an "All" tab, I have to go to 27 unique tabs to get updates on my selected topics. The lack of an "All" tab makes the app too wieldy for expedient use. A paid subscription should be able to provide this. Otherwise, the layout and info provided is fantastic! ### 2/5 — Has one big bug *2013-08-05* This app is useful but eventually will fill up with articles and become unresponsive. It needs an update ## Frequently asked questions about Medical Xpress ### What kind of medical news does Medical Xpress cover?
