- Sorting and filtering results is needlessly difficult.
Ads are too much
It should be easy to exit an ad. These ads pop up and are hard to leave.
Effectively useless
Sorting and filtering results is needlessly difficult. In the time it takes me I can just find an actual computer.
Wonderful App. UI needs improvement
Once you follow the instructions from the PubMed website and enable easyproxy, the search engine works well. The UI needs to become more user friendly though. I had to figure out how the search function works through trial and error. Perhaps a clearer search bar would help.
Not clear where to write the search

What is this GenBank knock-off?
Not sure if this clunky app the official app for GenBank. Ad every time I open it. Should look just like GenBank rather than a poor overly complex copy
Horrible to search
Horrible to search
A poor copy
Get the original app - PubMed On Tap, this one just tries to copy the idea, and does it poorly. For example, compare the EZProxy example in the settings screen, it’s a word-for-word copy.
Not intuitive to use
Not user friendly. Needs some work so that it’s easy to search and view results

Don’t Bother
I agree. The search doesn’t even work Apple lets this app on their website?
Couldn’t get it to work
Couldn’t figure it out. Never even ran a search
Huh?
Can’t figure out how to search
Not useful
Lots of adds but no researchable articles... just a steady stream of articles without focus
