App keeps crashing
     
by dissed fan · May 27, 2025

For the past week I’m unable to access content on Medscape. Whenever I click on a link the app opens and immediately closes.

Unusable due to continuous crashing.

Used to be my go to app
     
by Dr. Ramani · May 29, 2025

Used to use this as my pharm bible as a resident, now has way too many adds, laggy and glitchy. Moving onto something better now. Update: I was instructed to update the app which I did but still very laggy, lots of waiting around for searches to load, empty advertisement boxes when searches load and by the time you tap on the item you want, the empty advertisement box disappears and the selection list repositions causing you to tap on a random selection then wasting more time trying to go back and reselect what you initially intended on tapping on. The information that they provide is very useful, just getting to that information is a serious pain.

Scribe problems

Scribe is hard to find

Sad changes
     
by FireMooseMedic · January 6, 2026

Used this app for literally years! As additions rolled in some were useful to me others not as much. App was primarily used for pill identification and reading the happenings in the world of specialized medicine. Unfortunately with the removal of the pill identifier this app is now 85% useless to me and will be deleted. Such a shame as I used to recommend this app all the time.

App crashes when opening on iPad
     
by Kedeia · May 25, 2025

After latest update, app crashes immediately upon opening. I’m a physician so this app use is important. Please fix this ASAP.
