Otherwise stoked the app is back, content is phenomenal but I hope the UI continues to modernize in the future **Developer response:** backed to a native app and i hope you like it ### 3/5 — It’s okay *2026-04-21* I really loved the APP before they transitioned to EOLAS. They brought it back which is really good but the app is now glitchy and crashes on its own on IPHONE. Please fix the issues and I would be more than happy to buy it again. Has so much potential. ### 3/5 — Cannot start *2026-04-06, version 8.0.3* I’ve been recommended this app but the login account creation interface is glitching and fails to send login info to establish an account and login Updated 4/2/2026 it works now but does quit randomly very frequently, like 5 times per trying to read a diverticulitis article ### 4/5 — Works great, except for the pictures/charts *2023-10-07* Anytime you click on them, they enlarge and are super blurry and can’t be seen/read. Kind of defeats the purpose of having them as a resource. ### 3/5 — Need update & NEW every thing *2023-03-03, version 7.3.12* Nice ### 1/5 — Terrible *2022-02-25* I bought this app in hopes that it could hele in my practice on the fly. I haven’t been able to log in since purchasing the app, and my emails for help have gone unanswered. Medscape is a much better version of what they have attempted here, and it is free., so don’t waste your time here. **Developer response:** app is fixed and i hope you enjoy it. ### 1/5 — Wont let me create an account! *2021-04-14, version 7.0.4* I keep seeing the 5 star reviews but this one gets a 1 for me. Can’t even create an account to access the app. ### 4/5 — Amazing App-Small Downside *2021-04-07* I love this app. I am a paramedic student & tend to have a lot of pharmacology questions. The only thing I would fix is that some of my drugs don’t go into the favorite section when I click the star. Would really appreciate a minor bug fix on this issue. It’s phenylephrine that I cannot get added to my favorites list which is a shame bc vasopressors are super cool. ### 1/5 — What happened? *2021-04-05, version 7.0.4* Paid for this app years back and used it extensively while working the ED. Stopped for awhile and went back to it, now I continue to get an internal error message. Tried resetting my password several times and even created a new account but still no go. ### 4/5 — server seems to be offline *2021-03-31, version 7.0.4* offline currently ### 4/5 — Unable to add favorites *2021-03-23, version 7.0.4* When I click the star to add to my favorites it just loads continuously without saving. ### 3/5 — Please update the iPadOS version *2021-01-11, version 7.0.3* It’s pretty surprising that this won’t support landscape positioning, since that’s how most people use their iPads. Content seems good, but that doesn’t help if I can’t get to it because of display problems. ### 1/5 — Search stopped working. *2020-11-15* The search function is not working well after the update. There Are many searches that don’t work now. If you type in rash for example it will not give you options for general rash if gives you other options. But if you go to pigmented rash after searching rash it has a link to “general rashes” that you can click on. Please fix it. I’ve been having to rely more on uptodate and ALIEM because of this. Its a shame because a good app was ruined with a “big fix” update. **Developer response:** search is fixed and app is totally redesigned ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ruined the app *2025-12-07, version 7.3.18* If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. ### 1/5 — Unable to login *2025-09-01, version 7.3.18* What a joke. The Eolas app is awful ### 1/5 — Can’t login *2025-06-07, version 7.3.18* App won’t even let me login, just says session timed out and a temp password is emailed to me, yet nothing comes ### 1/5 — Cannot start *2025-06-01, version 7.3.18* I’ve been recommended this app but the login account creation interface is glitching and fails to send login info to establish an account and login ### 1/5 — Do not update, forces Eolas *2025-04-28, version 7.3.18* Don’t update, it will force you to switch to Eolas which is terrible. ### 1/5 — Couldn’t be worse *2024-11-05, version 7.3.18* It’s a shame for such a useful application. Discontinuing the app is the worst decision ever. ### 1/5 — Terrible new platform *2024-09-27, version 7.3.18* They decided to move the app to a new platform and let me tell you IT IS HORRENDOUS. NOT USER FRIENDLY AT ALL. THEY RUINED THIS APP. I’ll be deleting this ### 1/5 — New platform awful *2024-09-25* WikEM app decided to move to a different platform (Eolas) AFTER I just paid for the premium features. New app is not user friendly at all, and doesn’t allow me to input my WikEM account or link it, so my purchase was a complete waste, none of my favorites are saved. New platform looks like a joke, and old app does not allow use anymore, so I can’t even look up what favorites I had saved. Nice job WikEM, way to ruin a good thing. Deleting both apps and requesting a refund for my purchase. **Developer response:** old platform is back! better than ever! ### 1/5 — Drug reference broken *2023-07-20, version 7.3.14* Used to be a great app. Now the entire critical care reference by weight is broken. Shows error codes when references weight based drugs. ### 1/5 — There is no info, only IT codes everywhere. Needs fixing *2023-07-06* Needs to fix the app, unable to read the charts **Developer response:** all fixed ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It’s back! *2026-04-28, version 8.1.2* So glad the stand alone app is back. ### 5/5 — Incredibly useful *2026-04-01, version 8.0.2* Great on shift resource ### 5/5 — The ios app not starting just loading *2025-08-28, version 7.3.18* The ios app not starting just loading ios is te last official update and updated wikem searching but did not find any solution And this is the only app doing this Can u help me ? Please ### 5/5 — Best App for EM ever *2023-07-16* This app is so helpful to brush up on important history, physical exam, and treatment considerations quickly without having to get bogged down in the tiny details. ### 5/5 — Excellent, but.. *2022-09-22, version 7.3.4* Need more effort in some topics ### 5/5 — Excellent *2022-03-03, version 7.0.5* Needs more details in some topics ### 5/5 — Une des applications que j’ai utilisé beaucoup comme médecin-résident *2021-10-27* Utile, accessible et interface facile à utiliser! ### 5/5 — Love WikEM! *2020-08-04, version 6.7.7* Essential reference for on the job! ### 5/5 — Critical Care Paramedic *2020-07-12, version 6.7.7* Excellent resource ### 5/5 — Best quick reference by and for ER docs *2020-06-24, version 6.7.7* Great source of centralized and simplified information for use in the field, made for and by emergency physicians. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
