### 5/5 — It’s great - buy it

*2021-04-18*

Amazing app and amazing team behind it. If you’re a medical learner you really can’t go wrong using any and everything CP Solvers puts out

### 5/5 — My favorite podcast

*2021-04-13*

The app, I believe is still growing, but all in all this is an exceptional group of people that I want to support by being a member of the app and their patreon page. They keep me sharp and the algorithms they provide help me out in crunch times at work. Highly recommend filling along with them.

### 4/5 — Good work

*2021-04-05, version 1.5.1*

Generally do an excellent job. I recommend for my residents. Audio needs to be better. A little giggly at times but entertaining. Also a bit “woke” at times.

### 5/5 — So great!!!

*2021-02-12, version 1.5.1*

Love CPS

### 4/5 — Nice

*2020-12-30*

Ideal, um in der Notaufnahme einen schellen Überblick auf mögliche Differentialdiagnosen zu bekommen und schon mal ein paar Untersuchungen anzusetzen. Außerdem eine andere Möglichkeit effektiv zu lernen. Leider wirket die Schrift sehr unprofessionell.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Very good

*2025-05-06, version 1.5.1*

It seems it is not updated any more! i bought it and I thought it will continue to be updated regularly with new schemas

### 1/5 — Not worthy for the price

*2024-10-20, version 1.5.1*

Not worthy for the price , would like to get refund

### 1/5 — Useful 0% of the time

*2022-11-06, version 1.5.1*

I’ve opened this app countless times on rotations hoping it would help with a ddx or management. It has absolutely never - and I mean truthfully zero times - had information about what I’m looking for. I was duped into buying this waste of memory of an app a couple years ago and im still mad about it and I’m finally deleting it. Use their free website. Use DynaMed, use UpToDate, use wikem.org. But don’t pay for this. It is totally useless.

### 1/5 — Content great, app doesn’t work

*2020-07-08*

I bought a new iPad to hold all my resources for clinical rounds and was really looking forward to using app after the clinical problem solvers came to my school last year. Unfortunately, the app doesn’t work so well on my new iPad 5. There’s nothing listed under illness scripts, practice cases, and blog. I clicked download all and nothing happened. I also tried to search to get them to come up and nothing happens. Please fix this so I feel like the app was money well spent!

**Developer response:** Hi, sorry that the app didn't work well for you! Have you tried to resync the data by clicking the "Sync" button on the upper-right corner? Network issues during syncing may some times result in the issue you mentioned. If it still doesn't work, please email us at theclinicalproblemsolvers@gmail.com and we'll reach out to you to debug this. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Absurd that this costs money

*2019-11-16, version 1.1.0*

This is a bare bones companion app with few diagnoses and no depth. Don’t waste your time or money, the only reason to buy this app is if you’re a fan of the podcast and want an excuse to give them $5. 

The rest of us have just gotten scammed. The only explanation for the glowing tweet that made me buy this is that it was sponsored despite claiming the contrary.

### 1/5 — Not enough info

*2019-08-23, version 1.1.0*

Nice app but there’s not a lot of diagnoses or chief complaints to pick from. Missing so many topics. I’m pretty disappointed. Definitely not worth the purchase

### 1/5 — A joke

*2019-08-07, version 1.1.0*

This app is a joke.  They barely have any conditions and what they do have is very rudimentary.   Save your money and skip this purchase.

### 3/5 — Not yet ready

*2020-01-15*

My initial impression is that the price exceeds the content, which is limited but reported to be growing. A more appropriate model would be to have a lower price until the product has matured, then charge the current price. Good quality but insufficient quantity of information in the app. I look forward to using it more once it is more fully developed.

### 4/5 — Very good

*2023-02-17, version 1.5.1*

Very good app, but does the schemas get updated?

### 4/5 — Missing some schemas

*2022-10-28*

Missing soem schemas

### 5/5 — Excelent

*2025-08-05, version 1.5.1*

Very helpful

### 5/5 — Great resource. Worth the one time fee.

*2023-12-11, version 1.5.1*

.

### 5/5 — Content excellent, searching needs some work

*2023-03-28*

Overall, highly recommend!! I have used this so many times in many contexts to learn and to refresh on certain conditions and thought processes. The search-ability of the app needs work but that’s minor compared to all of the benefits.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2023-02-04*

Excellent content.

### 5/5 — Medical Education Must!

*2023-01-20*

This is one of the most concise point of care tools I have ever seen. Whether you teach or are a learner, this tool provides the tools needed to become a successful clinician. Patients will be better off because of what the clinical problem solvers have done.

### 5/5 — Good app!

*2022-06-06, version 1.5.1*

*2022-04-22, version 1.5.1*

This is so incredibly helpful! I wish the episodes were in the app, but I’m grateful for the useful schemas.

### 5/5 — great content
