Everything good gets ruined by big companies
This used to be one of the best medical apps, before Medscape bought it. One of the great things was the granularity. You could highlight your interests in very specific topics, create very specific collections, follow people and their collections, and it was therefore easy to keep up with your field. Now, they don’t even offer Emergency Medicine as a specialty to follow. Really? It’s 2026. We shouldn’t be fighting for legitimacy all over again. This is asinine.

Institutional log in doesn’t work
Can’t get paywall articles due to log in being glitchy
No longer working
Authenticator asks for code, but never displays a code to use. Tried every “fix” - app is purely broken for me.
Doesn’t work anymore
The app has been buggy. The search tool does not work at all, so you cannot look up any papers or subscribe to any journals other than the ones provided as a default for your specialty. It must be the most recent update because this app worked about 6-8 months ago, but it’s been completely non-functional the past few weeks.

No neurology specialty option
I have enjoyed the unsolicited emails w neurology-relevant papers, so was happy to download the app. Sadly, there is no option for selecting Neurology as a specialty. A missed opportunity.

Apos a atualização está travando sempre! Precisar consertar com urgência
Fantástico
Excelente, muito útil para atualização, mas tem travado muito recentemente, impedindo de salvar como favoritos, baixar pdf. Algum erro está ocorrendo na nova versão.

The App keeps crashing. It never worked !
App crash on iPad
Though I’m able to read articles on the app on my iPhone anytime I try to read articles on the app on my iPad. It crashes any updates?
Bug in the app
The app has a bug which doesn’t let the application open
FDA Ketamine approval update?
Need to update some articles. Lots has changed since 2022. Don't put everything behind a paywall. I'm a chaplain-still don't want to check my brains at the door.
Less functional after update
Previously, I enjoyed reading articles on this app. Now, they appear to have added an undesired social media feature with comments. I especially dislike how this app now greets me by name in every article - it’s jarring and off-putting, coming from an app. After the update bringing these undesired features, I have yet to successfully load the full-text version of an article. It gets stuck on “Authenticating …” and just sends me repeated Duo popups that do nothing. Obtaining full-text used to be slow, but now it doesn’t work at all. The app now also annoyingly keeps trying to get me to follow new collections or key word instead of just letting me read. The distracting new features detract from what used to be a streamlined academic app where one could experience deep thought.

Reseña
Excelente manera de documentar actualidades
Got stuck
Got stuck in the data collection page.
You cannot share articles in the journal
You cannot share journal articles. You can only share links to QXMD or non-hyperlinked PMIDs. It’s ery frustrating to have to copy the PMID, put it into Google, then find that link and share that. What a useless app for sharing! I only use it now to discover new articles. I would never support paying for this company or giving them any kind of compensation.

Como mejorar académicamente
Excelente aplicación, motiva al usuario a leer artículos que por el contrario nunca encontraría.
Intrusive Data Collection
This is a solid database, and the customized alerts option is great. However, there's no need for them to be helping themselves to so much of my data! The privacy agreement's ridiculous. Three stars is generous for that reason alone.
Love the app…but can we have an Open Link Button
Loving the app to keep track of science however I end up posting 10-20 articles a day and I really need a way to extract the link easier.
Add a way to copy the link directly instead of just the PMID. I have to open a link I find in the text or search for the PMID to get the actual URL. Very annoying.
There should also be dedicated Zotero support to add a link to my database and select a folder.
There also needs to be a Share to Twitter/X function that adds the title and maybe even a screenshot of the Abstract as well as the link.
This could also be done for Reddit. You could add subreddits you often post to and then select one in the drop-down. It would open up Reddit with the link and title and abstract added to the text.

Not as good as before update
I have used Read by QxMD for better than 5 years to try to keep up with medical literature. Before the update 3-4 months ago, I could get article searches on several different subjects. However that option has been removed. I sent an email asking for either it to be returned or an explanation but only got a routine response that never addressed my issue. I tried again but no response in several weeks. Apparently it is no longer available . The app is still useful but much less. I am looking for an alternative.
