Small Window into Real Science

I wish the app didnโ€™t send traffic from amazon.com and google.com

Buggy

Great research app. However, the application will periodically crash when tapping on an article, over and over. Usually it's just the one article that crashes the program.

Json doesn't download

So there's no way to read the data. I deleted, reinstalled, etc, AND no customer support for reporting this. So, 1* cuz it doesn't work.

Registration bug

When I try to register, there is a bug. I inappropriately get asked for a password in a pop-up window as soon as I am done entering my info and click on REGISTER.

No access to articles/Error messages

Loved this app and accessibility to articles. I would read articles while waiting to pick my daughter up from school or when riding in the car. However, since the latest update I havenโ€™t been able to access anything or search anything. I keep getting a pop up message as soon as I open the app that says โ€œJSON could not be serialized because of an error: the data couldnโ€™t be read because it isnโ€™t in the correct format.โ€ Does this happen to anyone else?

I would have originally given 5 stars but since I canโ€™t retrieve anything, even articles Iโ€™ve saved, Iโ€™ll give it one star until itโ€™s fixed.

โ€œSearch not authorizedโ€

If I canโ€™t search a term that I can search on the normal website itโ€™s useless

Crashes frequently

Good layout, quick access to abstracts, but crashes frequently requiring a complete re-start on your research.

Super glitchy

Itโ€™s great to have this as an app, but the app is too glitchy to work. You canโ€™t save articles, you click on the heart icon and nothing happens, swiping is too sensitive, itโ€™s slow and buffers for a long time, etc.

PubMed is great, the update was not

I used to like this app but ever since the last update I havenโ€™t been able to get into it. I finally created an account, as that seemed to be the issue, only to still have zero access to all the articles I had saved and my previous search history.

Canโ€™t even log in on iPad

I have an account, but the log in screen does not respond to Done or Enter, nor does it scroll to an OK or Enter button. Hello?

Amazing

So useful. Great resource for research.

Great research app

This is a great research app that I will surely be using for all my science research papers. It is very easy to use with a simple keyword and you will find articles, journals and everything we you need to know about that keyword. Subscription is affordable as well!
