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.
Not as good as before update
I have used Read by QxMD for better than 5 years to try to keep up with medical literature. Before the update 3-4 months ago, I could get article searches on several different subjects. However that option has been removed. I sent an email asking for either it to be returned or an explanation but only got a routine response that never addressed my issue. I tried again but no response in several weeks. Apparently it is no longer available . The app is still useful but much less. I am looking for an alternative.
Developer Response ,
Hi,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We did recently change some of the feature options within Read but the article searches should have remained the same. We can look into this for you to help address the problem. Would you be able to reach out to ken.chi@qxmd.com is our Lead Support Manager, and let them know you were sent from the App Store?
Best,
QxMD Support
