Latest reviews of PubMed4Hh app for iPhone and iPad
Excellent! Handy and efficient.
On the go for research.
As a medical school professor and active investigator who uses Medline on a daily basis I found this application to be useless. It may be helpful for tuning in general searches or looking for a review article, however was not nearly as powerful in identifying references in specific searches as using the main website of national Library of medicine. Even Google scholar was would be superior. I uninstalled the app.
Very practical app.
Search engine yields some good titles with normal English search input, but selecting the title gives XML error: syntax error at line 1 and no abstract. Needs some work.
