## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No more

*2018-10-22*

Something happened to this app. I use to use it ALL the time to review and understand the benefits of a WFPB diet. The search engine was AMAZING. But something recently was done to change that format and now it is not useful anymore.

**Developer response:** Hi, we're sorry to hear that the app is not functioning how you expected. We were not able to reproduce any issue in our own testing of the search function. This app was released fairly recently and we have made no major changes to the search function in that time. If you are still experiencing trouble, please send a screenshot of the issue to our support team (support@unboundmedicine.com). We will be happy to help resolve the issue.

### 2/5 — Clinical dietitian

*2020-01-26, version 1.4*

Could use more current nutrition studies, I see that very little dietitian collaboration was used, many outdated or generalized ideas in nutrition are used

### 4/5 — Amazing resource

*2019-12-18*

Just want to say thank you for creating this app.  There is so much great information here at the touch of your fingertip.  Only browser through it, but I am impressed by all the information and the ease of use.  Again thank you.

**Developer response:** You are absolutely welcome, thank you for your comment!

### 5/5 — Very useful and comprehensive

*2024-09-26*

Great app, easy to use search function and useful to be able to click on the references to see the abstracts. Really helpful to see what nutrition advice there is for each ailment and what the evidence is for it.

### 5/5 — Fantastic and User Friendly Nutrition Resource

*2024-03-31*

This app is an amazing resource that every Dr., RD, RN, etc who deals with nutrition and patient care should have. It’s also an amazing resource for the lay person as well. Very well done. Thank you PCRM! This makes my monthly contribution feel even more important. So proud to play even the smallest role in the amazing work that everyone at PCRM and Dr. Barnard do! Keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — How doctors truly help their patients

*2023-11-28*

Excellent healthcare-professional information!

### 5/5 — NICE TO KNOW THERE ARE ALWAYS ALTERNATIVES

*2023-10-09*

Our culture has grown out of the ability 
to sell products and create markets for these 
products.     The Health Industry, Modern 
Medicine, Fitness, Drugs, Supplements, etc.,
are all a result of this.   

Technology created Fast Food and ALL of our modern conveniences and also, in my opinion, 
the diseases that have resulted from these processed and convenient foods.

It’s so refreshing to know that many diseases 
can be reversed by just changing one’s 
diet !     This manual is a HUGE STEP, for the
average person, in  taking control of his or her
HEALTH and WELLNESS.

Blessings on this Manuel and on The United States of America, where it IS still possible to publish information like this.      Amen

### 5/5 — RN

*2023-04-30, version 1.6*

Excellent app, quick, concise, perfect on the go resource.

### 5/5 — Unique resource

*2023-04-28*

This is a highly unique vantage point on medical conditions that we so often reach to treat with pharmaceutical approaches when there are often other means of considering the problem. Much respect to the PCRM team for creating a resource that could be transformative if used and implemented on a large scale by US physicians and healthcare workers.

## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — A Great Resource

*2022-12-10*

A useful Medical Reference. 
Quick answers. 
No nonsense.

### 5/5 — Extraordinary

*2022-12-05*

Dr Bernard is. True gift to humanity
His yoeman service to help clinicians and patients is extraordinary and wish him the best of health for a long life on this earth to do more and more for humanity

### 5/5 — PCRM

*2022-05-05*

Essential information on health that I rely on not just for myself but share with others as well.

### 5/5 — Fair Assessment of Food vs. Medicine

*2022-03-31*

PCRM clearly presents nutrition as a main line of defense for preventing illness and chronic disease while acknowledging a few ailments (such as thyroid cancer) upon which it hasn’t been notably effective. But in far more instances than not, it substantiates the effectiveness of a whole-foods, plant-based diet as the best overall approach to natural healing and health.
