### 4/5 — 表が見切れる

*2026-08-06*

疾患の特徴から、治療の選択、ピットフォールまで、文献色々調べてくれるから、困ったときに使いやすくて、いつも助かってる。
ただ、表が見切れるのが玉に瑕。しばらく置いてたら治るかと思ってたけど、一向に治らない。表示の仕方が悪いのかもしれないけど、重要そうなところで表が見切れて、上下にスクロールしても別の文章が表示される。非常にストレス。

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2026-07-26, version 2.9.19*

10/10 app, great for studying and research. 

A small bug: The small square widget on ios is glitched and the icons are not showing up.

### 5/5 — OE

*2026-07-21, version 2.9.17*

Excellent , easy to manage, sharp , I will paid for any future version without a doubt

### 5/5 — Effectively Replaced UpToDate

*2026-07-21, version 2.9.17*

I find the answers on OpenEvidence to be more accurate to specific symptoms, diagnoses and treatments that UpToDate. While I am slightly conflicted about using “AI”, I feel like the benefit of this specific app outweighs the impact (although I recognize that I am not fully educated on the implications yet).

### 5/5 — Revolutionary

*2026-07-14, version 2.9.17*

I have not been quick to jump on the bandwagon of AI primarily because I do not use it to write papers or articles or for work 

But after using this app, a number of times I have been converted!

There are so many questions that I have that I want to ask that are hard to put into words. It's hard to find how to phrase the question to get the answer. 


Often I want to ask why something works when all the evidence says it shouldn't, or whether a product that is used all the time really does what it says it does. Or why Physicians keep using something if it can't be shown to work.  Or why when all of our medical knowledge says something should work one way it actually works the other way. 

Open evidence easily feels those questions and provides multiple answers from different angles completely Answering exactly what I was concerned about

 in the past searching Google or another search engine was inadequate for the detail I needed or just missed the point of the question  it would bring up common explanations or just List, which I already knew. I wanted the complexity of the "why"  or better yet why things weren't as they seemed or should be

With open evidence I can ask the question in the words that I'm comfortable with and OE "gets it" and provides an incredibly thorough answer, taking in all the subtleties as if it read my mind 

it's as if I'm talking to a genius professor who has a complete knowledge of all areas of Medicine, surgery, etc. And the ability to understand what the student is asking and explain it in terms he or she understands.

Thank you for creating this

### 5/5 — The Best

*2026-07-07, version 2.9.17*

Open Evidence is the most practical evidence based search site for clinical practice. It gives me management points with evidence that I can directly implement in patient care. I have found it to be more to the point & easier to use than Up To Date. Simply, the best so far for evidence based clinical practice.

### 5/5 — Absolutely AMAZING

This app has absolutely been a game changer and evidence based practice related to diagnosing treating an assessment of the most complicated patients and it can be in anything related to cardiac psychology dermatology wound care you name it it’s gonna find you evidence and suggestions that help you make sound clinical decisions all backed up by evidence from trusted validated sources

Open Evidence has been an outstanding resource for evidence-based clinical decision-making.
The platform is fast, reliable, and provides well-organized answers that are easy to apply in real-world practice.
It saves valuable time while still giving the depth and clarity clinicians need.
A superb tool for any physician who wants quick, thoughtful, and evidence-supported guidance at the point of care.

### 5/5 — Muito bom!

Informação completa para estudar qualquer assunto da medicina.

### 5/5 — The standard for quick reference in the clinical setting

*2026-06-16, version 2.9.12*

This has become my absolute go-to app in the clinical setting.  Whether I need to confirm my thinking or get a detailed lesson.

### 5/5 — Open Evidence

OE is one the best AI medical sources that i get the best recommendations for my tough cases.

*2026-06-13*

Tenho usado ao longo de 2 anos, mais sabiamente neste ano de 2026. E como me auxilia na rotina diária da residência médica. Apresentando o assunto requisitado de maneira resumida e direta com base na literatura científica e ainda me fornece acesso aos artigos na integra. Eu amo!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Can’t register

*2026-08-10, version 2.9.21*

I’ve tried twice to register, never received a code, can’t register, ugh help

### 1/5 — NA for RNs or NP students

*2026-07-25, version 2.9.19*

This app wont accept my student transcripts and my RN license isn’t an option, it only will accept a NPI number. I really wanted to use this as a resource.

### 1/5 — Phenomenal tool that’s rapidly being diluted

*2026-07-10, version 2.9.17*

Core LLM model is fantastic. The App though is continuously adding bloat (ie. Games, Dialer, Fax, Inbox), it’s practically Doximity at this point.

By all means develop these features, but there’s no reason my research app should have Games and a Dialer — spin this off in a new app. Dialer, Visits, Scribe, Messages, Inbox all make sense in their own app separated from Discover/Articles/News and Ask.

UpToDate doesn’t have all this junk lumped in. The App is getting larger and slower, it’s forgetting why it exists. Sad to see the development team is going down this route.

### 1/5 — “Not available in your location” but just for me

*2026-07-01, version 2.9.15*

Would’ve been 5 stars, but I keep getting hit with a “not available in your location” despite desktop working fine, and others being able to use the mobile app in the same area as me. Unusable until fixed unfortunately.

### 1/5 — Sign up broken

*2026-06-10, version 2.9.11*

Tried multiple times to give this a shot but it keeps telling me my NPI is invalid despite being 100% correct.  Shouldn't be this hard to sign up.

### 1/5 — Zero

*2026-06-05*

Zerooooo

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2026-06-02, version 2.9.11*

I loved this app the few days that it worked. After I login the app then takes me back to the login screen. I haven’t been able to login. Even after I setup another login. I emailed OpenEvidence support no response.

### 1/5 — Cyber troubles

*2026-05-13, version 2.9.5*

I received “page not secure” warnings as I was as signing up. I opted not to proceed.

### 1/5 — Can’t even get this open.

*2026-04-28, version 2.8.32*

I can’t even get the app to open

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-04-05, version 2.8.28*

Cannot even log in the app

This has been extremely helpful throughout my medical and psychiatric journey. I especially appreciate the ability to compare information in an evidence-based manner while having access to literature that is clean, concise, comprehensive, and expansive without losing focus. It allows me to quickly understand complex topics, evaluate different perspectives, and stay informed while still getting to the point. Overall, it has been an invaluable resource for both my clinical practice and continued professional growth.

### 5/5 — State of art myocardial perfusion imaging

Myocardial Perfusion Imaging

### 5/5 — Excellent but please fix this glitch

*2026-07-28, version 2.9.20*

Every so often, it will give me a nice detailed response. While I am reading it, it will suddenly wipe the entire response and display an error message claiming that the app is experiencing very high volumes and to try again later. Trying again then or later does not do anything and that particular chat is then permanently disabled.

### 5/5 — Hipotireoidismo

*2026-07-27*

Doses
