DynaMed

I am a member of ACP and find this app very useful. However, compared to UpToDate and Best practice, the mobile data consumption of this app is crazy high. If I turn off mobile data communication in the settings, I can't log in to the app, so I have to go through the hassle of switching mobile data communication on and off each time. I hope the app can be improved.

The app grows over time from it’s original size, with the offline content downloaded of about ~4GB, to an enormous 30+ GBs. I have seen this happen on 3 of my devices. They need to fix this.

Very useful app but the app is crashed recently whenever I click on the menu.

I have used DynaMed, Epocrates and UpToDate. Dynamed gives you more bang to your buck than UpToDate which is $300 + for nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Epocrates CME are not as easy to claim like Epocrates.

Great features and best medical media

Dynamed not clearly recommend treatment pathways and abx like utd does and most certainly not with bold face, easy to reach tables, indenting and paragraph spacing. Where are the pictures, diagrams, illustrations, information for patients? Dynamed absolutely pales in comparison to UTD in any medical setting. It’s a cheap excuse of anything else available to a practicing clinician and barely suits a medical student. I would never pay a nickel for it to use, yet forced to use it since our institution chose the 4th rate option to save money. As a result, most of the attendings and housestaff across multiple services signed up independently to UTD, effectively wasting any potential economic savings with Dynamed.

Badly made app. Tries to download every time I try to use it and gets stuck on 99%.

I am a resident physician. I use DynaMed all the time for concise information regarding guideline based evaluation and management of patients. Why is it better than UpToDate? Because in UpToDate you get lost with so many links driving you to different pages and having to scroll back and forth between resources. In Dynamed everything is neat and organized, concise and summarized with updated ACP based guidelines. You can also finish reading the summary which is also expanded enough and go down to more detailed, specific recommendations. Keep up the good work. You already have lots of clinicians following you.

I love the simplicity and concise information presented.

MD here and general medical officer for the Navy. For those who don’t know, that means I’m expected to be a primary care doc with only an internship. This app is absolutely incredible and gets me through the day. User interface is so smooth and well organized. More concise and up to date than “UpToDate” which is notoriously behind on new research. Highly recommend for anyone in the medical field.
