Login rediculousness
DynaFrustrated
The app developers definitely needs to change the login system. If I leave the app to go do something else for a minute I have to re-login and re-find my article. It is a multi-step process to re-login despite having the app “remember“ me.
LOVING IT!

Thank you for bringing back Dynamed as a stand alone app! The Interface is clean and simple. The menus are intuitive and easy to navigate. The only downside is the initial website loaded for log in; it is loaded within the app. Depending on your screen size, it might be difficult to navigate. Basically, you load dynamed website from your institution, then click on MOBILE tap, enter your email address. From within your mobile device, open the email, click the link and dynamed app will activate. Really neat and simple way to activate the app!
Great app but the updates are brutal

I love Dynamed as a resource, and this app does a good job of making it accessible on mobile. But they need to make a better system for it to update its information. If I go three days without opening the app, there are always nearly 200 updates waiting to be installed for me. And the updates can't be installed in the background. I have to have Dynamed open on my phone and I can't access any other functions on my phone, or the updates will cancel. I use this app so I can quickly access Dynamed's info and recommendations on mobile. But that benefit is lost when I have to wait 30 minutes to install the updates. If these updates could happen automatically in the background then this app would be perfect.
Great resource

Such invaluable resource, but there are some issues.....Otherwise the database is awesome, 1- annoying update (takes too long)....I like it being updated almost daily but it takes too long and it does not update in the background.... 2- layout: I have iPhone 6+ and it would be great to adjust the display to fit the screen resolution 3- alert me for highly important news in medicine
In love Dynamed but

The app is missing content. Syphilis, for example, exists online and in the Omnio version but it is missing in this version. Great start but needs some touch ups as other users point out. I'll be excited to update with five stars once they get the kinks out.
Great info but COME ON make the updates in the background

The updates that make it unusable until they are completed is a major drag... Makes me turn to medscape or epocrates if I'm in a hurry.
Terrible

Dynamed falls so far behind. None of their apps actually load. Their online items are not formatted for my screen. Unbelievably frustrating. Guess I'll go back to UpToDate. Get with it, guys.
Potential

Every time I switch to a different app and back or my screen goes into sleep mode I lose my page and it makes me log back in and I have to perform search again; very inconvenient for a physician. Other than that flaw nothing to complain about, but that is enough for me to stop using it all together

Not optimized for the iPad pro. Does not use "system font." There, the text appears very small. Search is not as good as the website.
Room for improvement

Good info, problems with app: 1. Switching out of the app causes you to loose what you searched for. 2. Updates stop if app is switched out of. 3. Updates take excessively long (I think this is because every time there is ANY change a page, the entire page has to be downloaded again instead of just the new part that changed. This means you are just re-downloading the same information over and over, with minor changes.) 4. Multiple unlinked indexes. (eg. when you search for "Gout" half of the search results don't link to any information, they are dead links. This is likely because someone changed the index name and pointer without deleting the old, but similar index name.) Aside from that, good, updated info. Just needs to be easier to work with.
