The app crashes on opening. Love the website content but tired of emails from them.

### 2/5 — Useless poorly designed app

*2021-03-12*

Poorly designed, doesn’t work well, freezes.

### 2/5 — Crashes instantly

*2020-07-10*

This app, while the content has been historically wonderful,‘over time Ive essentially found it impossible to use, because it’s been so consistently buggy. I have updated it and it still crashes immediately upon being opened. It’s a real bummer because, again, the content is so great
UPDATE 7/2020: the app is much less buggy and no longer crashes. I’ll say the user interface no longer is intuitive and while much sleeker in appearance, I find it more difficult to access content that is useful and applicable to my practice than I used to. As is so often true, newer is not better. Deep existential sigh. Practice Update was a staple of how I stayed up to date during second half of my residency and first year of practice. At least the first few times I’ve used the newest version, I found myself wishing for the old simple app that delivered highly relevant, succinct, and timely updates from the literature in a way that saved me time and kept me sharp.

Are you on the latest version of iOS? Are you still experiencing this issue?

### 3/5 — Updates don’t accumulate in stacks

*2022-07-04*

This app requires you to check in every day. Sorry but I can’t make that commitment. The updates in your stacks do not accumulate waiting for you to find the time to review them. Instead, you log on after a few weeks and find only 2-3 articles waiting in your stack. Clearly if you miss a day they disappear from your stack. I suggest they accumulate. You can also add a setting that they stay in your stack for a defined period before dropping off so that the stack doesn’t become unmanageable

### 5/5 — Easy to Use

*2021-11-28*

The App works fine.  It’s not useless.  I had zero issues while testing this App
