GREAT APP

This app is great for resources and to have further information!

Response from developer

We are very happy to hear you're enjoying our Prime PubMed app, especially for finding the most up-to-date information across many resources. Thank you for sharing your experience!

Best App On My Phone

Kind of like having the Library of Alexandria (of health) available at the touch of a fingertip on your phone. I spent years searching pubmed… but this app has made my amateur health fact-finding adventures more enjoyable, productive, and fast. I can go and do things in four or five or six other apps, and then come back to this app, and it still is in the exact same place where I left it, whether a search, a paper pdf, or whatever. My Apple iPhone Podcast App doesn’t even do that! A+

Great research tool!

I have enjoyed using Prime for at least seven years now. One of its most useful options is its grapherence program. It allows me to look at the abstracts of articles upon which the title I am reading are based AND any articles that have subsequently referred referred to that same title. I can also get some idea as to the influence of a given reference by the number of articles that refer back to it.

Greatest ever

Can’t stop using app

We love hearing that - thank you so much! And no reason to stop, we'll continue to update it as you go. Thanks again!

Great, but grapherence doesn’t work on my iOS devices anymore

I have enjoyed using Prime for at least five years now. One of its most useful options is its grapherence program. However, for the last several months to a year I have not been able to see grapherence results on either my iPhone or iPad. I don’t think it’s a specific setting, in that the problem occurred when freshly downloaded onto a new device. Have others had this problem? If so, is there a fix? It still works in my window-based PC.

Edit, 8/6/21. Hello and thank you for being a longtime customer. We are sorry to hear you're having trouble with the Grapherence feature. We've just tried reproducing the problem ourselves and have not been able to. Would you mind contacting our Support team so we may better help resolve the issue? You can reach us by phone (M-F, 9AM-5PM) at 610-627-9090, by email: support@unboundmedicine.com , or by chat (through our website support page). Thank you!

Essential app

I cannot praise this app enough. Instead of emails, Twitter or active searching, I come here to know what has been published in the journals I regularly keep an eye on. This is my “Neurology Daily Newspaper”. The only thing that it needs to be perfect is to be able to open the references in a web browser like Safari. This would allow going to the source and downloading or reading the article. Although you can read the articles that are free text within the app, the display is small. Despite this room for improvement, I am grateful to the designers. It’s one of my favourite apps and certainly the best to keep me updated on what is being published. As I said, I can’t praise it enough.

Useful for Tracking specific health concern

This app provides access to journals from around the world. Prime helps me understand more about choices that need to be made.

Be kind to yourself. Nobody can do it all. Caregivers must take care of themselves first.

Response from developer

Great advice, especially during these trying times. Thanks for using the app and posting your review. Also, thanks for the work you do during this ongoing crisis.

There is no way to save PDFs or view them with another app on iPad

Response from developer

Users may save articles in a variety of formats using the "Share" function within the application. If you are having trouble saving articles as PDFs, please contact our Support team for assistance.

One of the best apps for researches

The app is easy to follow and keeps me up to date with all the gazillion journals I’m following on a daily basis.

The app would have been perfect if:
1. It was faster to navigate. It takes some time to load articles from a journal. I wish it would load much faster.

2. To include a PubMed link to the article and not just the PubMed article’s ID number. This way it’s much easier to share articles with colleagues.

Thanks 🙏

Response from developer

We are glad to hear that you are enjoying the app! The speed with which the articles load can vary depending on the user's network connection and device hardware. Also, you can share directly from the app in a variety of formats using the "Share" function within each entry.

So easy!

So much easier to use than PubMed, complete searches

Nice app

This works very nicely to search and display full text. Price is right, too!

Excellent access & information

I have been using this going on 2 years, and it has helped me immensely. My Shih Tzu is 13 & has Cushing’s Disease, with a tumor on his left adrenal gland. The articles that I can access on here have shown me ways to blend traditional medicine with Chinese medicines, homeopathic, and other alternative medicine. I don’t know how I could have done this research without this site!!
