Why did we build 'Read by QxMD'?
Health care professionals need to stay up to date on the latest medical research and topic reviews to provide optimal care. Unfortunately, the process of content discovery is broken with research artificially compartmentalized by publishers and hidden behind countless institutional pay walls.
At QxMD, we believe that knowledge translation– the process by which new knowledge is incorporated into clinical practice – is an important and unsolved challenge for our health care system. We hope that ‘Read by QxMD’ will be a part of the solution.
Seamless 1-tap access available at thousands of institutions.

Ratings and Reviews
Continues to be the best
I’ve used Read for about 5 or 6 years and continue to be impressed. Once linked with library holdings there is no easier way to get and organize scientific literature in full text pdf form. On top of everything it’s still free. The only thing missing is a polished non-mobile platform (ie for my laptop). It’s there but there is definitely a stylistic and functional gap btw that and the iOS version. Still 5 star and highly recommended.

Happy with this app, slight tweak suggestions
I use this app all the time if I need to find an abstract or article; it’s a lot easier than pulling up Pubmed on my phone or iPad. The only area for improvement I can see is support of Dark Mode, both for the app overall and for the screen that comes up when you save a PDF.
Also for the last couple of weeks I’ve noticed that my badge count stays at 1 even if I’ve looked over all of the ‘new’ abstracts in my feed and subscriptions.
Great app
Great app! Great support for the higher resolution XS and pro devices. We did notice an recurring issue with newer arcticles, likely those published ahead of print. The issue results in a PDF of an unrelated article in a different language being downloaded. This does not correct a month later if it already downloaded the incorrect article. We love the app. Can you fix this bug though?
Developer Response ,
Glad you love Read - we hope you’ve noticed full support for iPhone X and iPad high resolution.
We've just released an update (Version 7.3.2), which should resolve the issue with the incorrect article downloading.
Please keep in mind that if you are trying to access an article that you have previously downloaded with the incorrect PDF, you will see the same random article.
To fix this, please go to Settings --> App Settings --> Manually Delete PDFs --> Delete the PDFs that you would like to try to access again.
