Hello App Review Team, Thank you for the detailed review and feedback. We identified and addressed two issues reported during the previous review. 1. Search Results Not Appearing The issue occurred because the DSLD ingredient dataset was inadvertently configured differently between development and release builds. In the previously submitted build, the dataset was referenced via an external URL instead of the bundled snapshot file. As a result, the dataset was not loaded properly in the TestFlight / release environment, which caused ingredient searches (e.g., β€œZinc”, β€œVitamin D”, β€œDHA”) to return no results. This has been corrected. The app now loads the DSLD ingredient dataset directly from the bundled snapshot file included in the application package. Ingredient search results now appear correctly in both development and TestFlight builds. 2. Low-Contrast Text on Consent Screen and Analysis Detail View The consent screen did not explicitly set a background view, which caused the translucent card to render over a light system background on certain devices (such as iPad compatibility mode). This reduced text readability. A similar issue also affected the Analysis Detail view under certain display conditions. Both the consent screen and the Analysis Detail view have been updated to explicitly include the application’s background image so that the translucent card and text maintain sufficient contrast across devices. Verification The updated build has been thoroughly tested using TestFlight to ensure the behavior matches what end users experience in the release environment. We confirmed that ingredient searches return results correctly (e.g., Zinc, Vitamin D, DHA) and that the consent screen text is clearly readable. Thank you again for your review, and please let us know if any additional information would be helpful. Best regards.

ScrollMD turns the latest medical research into a fast, swipeable feed. Instead of digging through databases, you scroll through clean "study cards" β€” one paper per screen β€” and absorb the essentials in seconds. Each card distills an open-access paper into: β€’ TL;DR β€” the study in one line β€’ Key Finding β€” the headline result, with the number that matters β€’ Why It Matters β€” the clinical takeaway β€’ Caveat β€” the limitation to keep in mind Tap through to the original paper (DOI) any time you want the full text. WHY SCROLLMD β€’ Built for clinicians first β€” cardiology, oncology, neurology, infectious disease, endocrine, pulmonary, and a "For You" mix. β€’ Search your own topic β€” type what you're working on and get the most relevant recent papers. β€’ Reputable, open-access sources β€” content is indexed from PubMed / Europe PMC and reputable journals. We link to the original; we never paywall or republish copyrighted PDFs. β€’ Save, cite, and share the studies you want to come back to. β€’ Ask for an AI summary on any card when you want a quick plain-language recap. FOR CLINICIANS, STUDENTS, AND THE CURIOUS Whether you're a physician staying current between patients, a resident or student building your foundation, or simply someone who wants to follow real research instead of headlines, ScrollMD makes keeping up feel effortless. IMPORTANT ScrollMD provides educational summaries of published research. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Summaries are generated automatically and may omit nuance β€” always consult the original paper and use your professional judgment. Nothing in ScrollMD should be used to make clinical decisions for an individual patient. Sign in with Apple or Google to sync your saves and join the discussion, or continue as a guest.
