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.

One of the great things was the granularity. You could highlight your interests in very specific topics, create very specific collections, follow people and their collections, and it was therefore easy to keep up with your field. Now, they don’t even offer Emergency Medicine as a specialty to follow. Really? It’s 2026. We shouldn’t be fighting for legitimacy all over again. This is asinine. -- sw869, 2026-02-10 ### **--- "Institutional log in doesn’t work" Can’t get paywall articles due to log in being glitchy -- rufio003, 2026-02-05 ### *---- "No longer working" Authenticator asks for code, but never displays a code to use. 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 [View all Read by QxMD reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Read by QxMD Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Free | Mexico | Medical | #224 | | Top Free | Malaysia | Medical | #248 | ## Read by QxMD Discovered Keywords -
