Ratings and reviews

This is actually very good. In many ways, I like DynaMed much better then UpToDate except for the times I truly want to dig into minutiae, but at that point I'm often referencing professional society publications. I really appreciate how most articles have a near-universal structure. Occasionally, the app freezes when I first open it, and I have to force close it. This is the reason for the 4 stars.

Keeps asking to reauthorize my account after logging from my institution. Now the app doesn't even allow me to search anymore. Apparently this has been known issues reported by several users for at least for the past several months (read reviews) but it's unbelievable they still haven't addressed the issue and still continue to to charge people for using their app. Update: it's unbelievable how they have been dragging their feet to fix this known issue. Developer of this app should be fired!

In comparison to other resources that claim to be up to date, this is superior. I love the explanation of the data and the guidlines. The format is simple to follow. The alerts for practice changing papers is also wonderful. The only downside is that this doesn't have a lot of information on the more bizarre and rare conditions.

This one's for MDM Administrators: If your organization is using mobile device management and single sign-on, you can use a new configuration option to give clinicians one-tap access to the sign in screen that's right for them. Reach out to your Customer Success Manager to set this up.
