  1. 2/5App needs serious work

    This is rating app usability not the content UTD app >>>>CK app If CK wants to compete with big brother UTD - stop logging me out each time I minimize -have a save login feature easily accessible -landscape mode on iPhone with less screen overlap bug - favorite book saving option -options on screen color and text size please - cleaner experience that is less laggy -option for DL of material would no network is needed Please do this. For a grand a year for the IM packet we should have a more functional app since it is 2021. BEST resources in probably the worst app.

  2. 4/5Very similar to web experience

    I have not experienced the forced logout that others have stated in their reviews and I suspect it is because I am logging in with the personal account I created after I accessed the clinical key website through my school’s library as opposed to using my school’s login credentials. My suggestion would be to try that route. As for the app itself, it functions very similar to the website. I can access the same material (including textbooks) that I could on the website. The only things I wish it had that the website had is the ability to “find on page” and change the size of the text. If I were king for a day (or, if someone from CK is reading this) I would enable web users and app users to favorite books—whole books, not just chapters or images from them. Having to constantly search for the names of textbooks gets tedious.

  3. 1/5Great Content, Horrible app

    Elsevier publishes some of my favorite books and journals, and everything works great on a desktop or laptop, but if you are using the app on iPhone or iPad, it is a dreadful experience. You get continuous warnings that your network has changed, even when it hasn’t, and why the app even cares is beyond me. The textbook search engine will not take you to the requested textbook, and there is no list to jog your memory, just a place to enter a textbook name from memory. Searching for articles often leads you to something completely unrelated to the key words you entered. The application also will not run in the background, so if you leave to use another app, you lose everything you were looking at. Looks from reviews like these problems have been present for several years, though the app is only at v. 1.something, so not so not well attended to. Unless you plan to use clinical key only on your computer, I would skip it and go with Up to Date.

  4. 3/5Finally updated, unfortunately worse

    The new UI consists of a search box, and nothing else. Bring back a browse feature at the very least. This app should have feature parity with the website. Edit: adding a star because they’ve listened to feedback regarding the browse feature. Biggest issue at the moment is the app constantly logging users out and the email login system is a pain - I always opt for UTD/Dynamed because of this. After that, it still needs some serious UI/UX refinement but at this point my expectations are a bare minimum.

  5. 1/5Hate this app-do NOT work

    This app worked at first then it kicked me out. Then I couldn’t get back in. I deleted and reinstalled and it worked then it kicked me out again. I have deleted and reinstalled more times that I lost count and it doesn’t work. I don’t understand all the security crap. If I’m on the website and it gives the option at the top to open in app then why doesn’t it automatically sign me in? It’s books people, books. Customer service just keeps telling me there’s nothing wrong from their POV. I have tried on different phones and iPads. Waste of time!
