Please note that EMA can only be used in conjunction with a subscription-based Web Application Service. Modernizing Medicine introduces the first native iPad application designed for medical surgical specialities — EMA by Modernizing medicine for iPad.

At the end of each patient visit, data is transmitted back to the server automating documentation without costing the doctor a second.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Clinical Guidelines at 3.7 against ModMed Practice Add's 2.4. Clinical Guidelines also leads on monetization model (free vs subscription) and device support (3 vs 1). ModMed Practice Add's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 38 months) and review sentiment (27% vs 0%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Clinical Guidelines holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ModMed Practice Add has 145 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of ModMed Practice Add's written reviews are positive against 0% of Clinical Guidelines's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ModMed Practice Add ships an update weekly, Clinical Guidelines every 38 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
