Health care professionals need to stay up to date on the latest medical research and topic reviews to provide optimal care. Unfortunately, the process of content discovery is broken with research artificially compartmentalized by publishers and hidden behind countless institutional pay walls. At QxMD, we believe that knowledge translation– the process by which new knowledge is incorporated into clinical practice – is an important and unsolved challenge for our health care system. We hope that ‘Read by QxMD’ will be a part of the solution. Seamless 1-tap access available at thousands of institutions.

Tried every “fix” - app is purely broken for me. -- foolish bumble, 2025-01-31 ### ***** "Doesn’t work anymore" The app has been buggy. The search tool does not work at all, so you cannot look up any papers or subscribe to any journals other than the ones provided as a default for your specialty. It must be the most recent update because this app worked about 6-8 months ago, but it’s been completely non-functional the past few weeks. -- Rxp16, 2024-12-04 ### **--- "No neurology specialty option" I have enjoyed the unsolicited emails w neurology-relevant papers, so was happy to download the app. Sadly, there is no option for selecting Neurology as a specialty. A missed opportunity. -- Laukins, 2024-11-16 ### *---- "App crash on iPad" Though I’m able to read articles on the app on my iPhone anytime I try to read articles on the app on my iPad. It crashes any updates? -- Sherif100, 2024-06-16 ### ****- "FDA Ketamine approval update?" Need to update some articles. Lots has changed since 2022. Don't put everything behind a paywall. I'm a chaplain-still don't want to check my brains at the door. -- aledabug, 2024-03-24 ### **--- "Less functional after update" Previously, I enjoyed reading articles on this app. Now, they appear to have added an undesired social media feature with comments. I especially dislike how this app now greets me by name in every article - it’s jarring and off-putting, coming from an app. After the update bringing these undesired features, I have yet to successfully load the full-text version of an article. It gets stuck on “Authenticating …” and just sends me repeated Duo popups that do nothing. Obtaining full-text used to be slow, but now it doesn’t work at all. The app now also annoyingly keeps trying to get me to follow new collections or key word instead of just letting me read. The distracting new features detract from what used to be a streamlined academic app where one could experience deep thought. -- MS1 2014, 2024-03-17 ### **--- "You cannot share articles in the journal" You cannot share journal articles. You can only share links to QXMD or non-hyperlinked PMIDs. It’s ery frustrating to have to copy the PMID, put it into Google, then find that link and share that. What a useless app for sharing! I only use it now to discover new articles. I would never support paying for this company or giving them any kind of compensation. -- monowav, 2023-10-15 ### ***-- "Intrusive Data Collection" This is a solid database, and the customized alerts option is great. However, there's no need for them to be helping themselves to so much of my data! The privacy agreement's ridiculous. Three stars is generous for that reason alone. -- NopeAndNever911, 2023-08-30 ### ***-- "Not as good as before update" I have used Read by QxMD for better than 5 years to try to keep up with medical literature. Before the update 3-4 months ago, I could get article searches on several different subjects. However that option has been removed. I sent an email asking for either it to be returned or an explanation but only got a routine response that never addressed my issue. I tried again but no response in several weeks. Apparently it is no longer available . The app is still useful but much less. I am looking for an alternative. -- dmjames53, 2023-08-21 ### ****- "Adding access" I had some nightmare problems trying to get passwords reset and getting an email. Response from the app developer was more than difficult. One big drawback is that there’s no easy way to get access to full articles on journals to which you are subscribed. The app asks for a library code rather than individual subscription credentials. -- bayoudoc, 2023-06-17 ### ***-- "Must have medical app" But after merging with medscape, it's bugggggyyyyy -- Mmsalem2, 2023-02-14 ### **--- "Institutional Access with Duo" Well structured app, but does not allow institutional verifications for libraries that do 2-step logins with Duo -- Trainee 5789, 2023-01-14 ### *---- "API error every other day" Getting consistent sso error, ID 245 Works great when it works, but not becoming a huge hassle. -- Xzippyx, 2022-12-21 ### *---- "Stop working after last update" As said above, program stop working after last update. All link from QMDx emails can not be open - some kind of “API error” -- Newinwood, 2022-11-10 ### *---- "Login broken again" The most recent update broke the connection between my institution’s library/authentication and the app. Used to be my go to app that I would refer my students to. -- Larsbot3000, 2022-06-17 ### ****- "Cannot sign in on iPhone" Cannot sign in on my iPhone recently. Update 2/28/2022, now the bug is fixed! -- Youngcever, 2022-03-01 ### ***** "Awful now, used to be a great app" The app started to work out great, had all the features that you need to be updated with all the latest articles. Now however, the app does not update any journals. I have to delete the app and reinstall it to make its basic function work. -- Faizan M, 2022-02-19 ### ****- "Few things to improve" This is a great app. Amazing. Few things to improve . 1) Of late, app doesn’t seem to refresh. There might be a bug somewhere 2). Institutional access list doesn’t seem to be comprehensive. Inclusion of HINARI & Research4Life access is important. Edit: The force refresh option is still not working consistently on ios15. This is very much troubling -- kysmish, 2022-02-19 ### ***** "Great app" Please bring back the badges for new articles in the My Journals section. Long time user, love the app. -- mwbcem2020, 2022-02-13 ### *---- "Can’t login" So the app states that they’ve joined forces with Medscape & is asking me to login. Whenever I enter my credentials, I just get a spinning circle. Nothing. Please fix! -- jtanman, 2022-02-01 [View all Read by QxMD reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Read by QxMD Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Free | Peru | Medical | #98 | | Top Free | Ecuador | Medical | #129 | | Top Free | Israel | Medical | #135 | | Top Free | Argentina | Medical | #158 | | Top Free | Algeria | Medical | #212 | | Top Free | Lebanon | Medical | #219 | | Top Free | Portugal | Medical | #230 | | Top Free | Egypt | Medical | #247 | | Top Free | Colombia | Medical | #377 | | Top Free | Dominican Republic | Medical | #384 | | Top Free | Ireland | Medical | #441 | | Top Free | Denmark | Medical | #441 | | Top Free | South Africa | Medical | #442 | | Top Free | Mexico | Medical | #443 | | Top Free | Singapore | Medical | #458 | | Top Free | India | Medical | #460 | | Top Free | Italy | Medical | #461 | | Top Free | Kuwait | Medical | #482 | | Top Free | Chile | Medical | #489 | | Top Free | Türkiye | Medical | #491 | ## Read by QxMD Discovered Keywords -
