Great for getting needed CME

### 4/5 — Real CME app

*2017-03-22, version 3.5*

Would like to be able to have a function where I could rotate the video.

Like the fact that when I closed down the video, it reopened to where I left off.

Maybe the availability to download the slides either as slides or a PDF.

Thanks for such a great app with free CME's

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Poor Functioning

*2019-03-17, version 4.0*

This app has no topics relative to surgery.
Also, sorting available courses option does not work.
Also, bloated with courses no longer available!  [Looked at about a dozen different courses, never did find one open and available!]

### 1/5 — App super-slow or just crashes

*2016-03-30, version 3.2*

It's much easier to use even the mobile site than this app.

### 1/5 — Blank white screen on login

*2015-08-16, version 2.3.2*

Just installed this on my iPhone 6, entered my ePocrates login credentials (which work fine on the main ePocrates app), hit Submit, then got a blank white screen. Bug fix needed.

### 1/5 — Blank Screen

*2015-06-16, version 2.3*

I downloaded this app & tried logging in several times. Each time I got a blank white screen. Very disappointing. I deleted the app.

### 1/5 — PA-C

*2015-05-09, version 2.3*

Downloaded app and logged in, but app would not load, only a blank white screen appeared. So far, useless.

### 1/5 — Only lets you retake once

*2015-04-26, version 2.3*

Silly that you spend an hour reviewing the material. Then,  Take a 5 question post test in which you fail if you get 1 wrong, it doesn't show you which question you got wrong. And worst of all, it only allows you to retake it once so you just end up making the same error or change a correct answer to a wrong one. And remember, no credit if you fail...

### 1/5 — Inefficient App!!!

*2013-10-25, version 1.7.0*

To time consuming for the limited topics available & content with in each CME. Give me the nuts & bolts & don't waste my time! As others have mentioned, the questions at the end aren't even covered & the pretests are pointless if info is not covered yet. I've tried to use this for many years and seems CME's keep getting more lengthy with less clinically relevant data for the time spent on it.

### 1/5 — App doesn't work well

*2012-11-10*

App does not work very well. When doing the post curriculum assessment, when I would click "next" it kept trying to go to the page where you chose cme topics. I kept having to get out of the app, go to my email and click back on the link to bring up my next page.  This has happened before while doing come activities as well. NOT very user friendly! More FRUSTRATING than anything...detracted from taking the assessment.  Also, too many questions for a mobile app.

### 1/5 — Needs Work

*2010-11-05, version 0*

I love doing CME on my phone and was excited to see epocrates CME release. I did get the list of activities to load once and it looked to have a lot of good content. The problem is that it has not been able to load again and I was unable to complete any of the activities. My advice would be to definitely check it out after an update to two to see if they have been able to work out the bugs.

### 2/5 — Doesn't work on IPad

*2016-09-10, version 3.4*

Realcme is a valuable tool for learning the latest info on many important issues in an ever changing medical world.  Obtaining cme is critical these days in our highly regulated world, but it is often difficult to acquire with busier and busier schedules.  This app is outstanding!!!
