Upgraded to PRO WITHOUT consent
I tried the free trial app, canceled it literally within 2min after subscription to avoid getting charged, yet without my consent subscription was upgraded to PRO; and my Apple Card was charged. I don’t even like the service.
Not worth it
As a medical professional myself this app is not to be used in any setting for medical practice. Yes it is cautious about giving a straight answer, but it also isn’t always correct. As professionals in our field we cannot rely on Ai, and this is showing that.
I asked it pretty specific questions about a lymphoma blood smear, the results were not correct. To someone who doesn’t know or doesn’t have the knowledge this can cause severe issues in the longer term. I don’t have a solution to this, it is great for people to use and learn more but it needs to be correct and accurate. Unfortunately we live in a world where people publish information as fact when it is not. When the Ai grabs from articles for its “info” (lack for better terms), it will inevitably pulling wrong information. I personally still would rather do my own research, shift through the false and obvious misinformation.
Great concept unfortunately it didn’t work in practice at least for the testing I did for it. Also $124.99 for a year or $22.50 per month. Sheesh, why? Raking people for profits also is a failing strategy. Good luck.
Don’t recommend.

Hallucinations and misinformation
I graduated from medical school in 1991 and have practiced anesthesia for more than 30 years. Doctors will find the information provided by this AI app incomplete, frequently incorrect and based on questionable resources.
The sources cited would be unlikely choices for an informed clinician.
For example, when asked if general anesthesia or regional anesthesia is safer, MediSearch confidently answered that general anesthesia had twice mortality risk, citing an obscure 2007 Russian paper rather than the randomized study published in the 2021 NEJM which showed no significant difference in mortality.
Repeating the query resulted a hallucination that a study of 380,000 patients showed that general anesthesia carried twice the mortality risk, citing the 2023 StatPearls CME activity “Anesthetic Management of Ex Utero Intrapartum Treatment (EXIT) and Fetal Surgery.
Most clinicians will find standard online resources such as UpToDate.com more helpful. Patients will be unable to sort fact from hallucination.
Also, be wary of ghost renewal charges after you cancel the service.

Honestly, not good at all
I downloaded this app based on the positive reviews, but my experience has been very disappointing. I asked several questions about a medical condition, and the answers I received were inconsistent and unreliable-almost like they came from a first-year medical student rather than a professional-grade AI tool. The app itself is not intuitive and feels poorly designed. On top of that, it requires a subscription that is far from cheap, which makes the value even worse. Overall, not good at all and I cannot recommend it.
Not for doctors
I assumed this was for doctors, but the results only read from abstracts. There are no full text guidelines. And the AI has no way of discriminating what constitutes a reliable paper vs some case report. ChatGPT can do this for you for free if you ask it to search pubmed.
Sucks
This app is very good when it works.
BUT IT FORGETS YOU OFTEN WHEN YOU SUBSCRIBE TO THE PRO VERSION. and then you only get the limited response of the free version. Also support never responds to complaints
