Excellent medical app, but iPad version with huge shortcomings – MDCalc Medical Calculator Review

MDCalc is an excellent medical calculator, with updated literature citations and educational snippets. The iPhone version is stellar however the iPad version has several limitations in function that do not take advantage of the functionality of the iPad and it’s Pro-functionality. I work on the wards and am frequently using many of the calculations in the App on my new iPad Pro with the magic keyboard. This means I am in landscape mode throughout the day. Upon opening the app on landscape mode, the app does not rotate whatsoever. Meaning it cannot be used while the iPad is docked. The app also does not take advantage of the iPad OS’s multitasking features like split-view or slide-over, a huge detriment when I am charting on my virtual desktop app and looking to have MDCalc slide-over to briefly calculate a MELD score for example. The addition of these features to the iPad app would make this a 5/5 app. But until then, it’s unusable for the iPad Pro especially when it is on the Magic Keyboard.
