Need improvement

Amazing app to learn & collaborate. Although, it needs a thumbs up option for comments & a DARK MODE (screen brightness) FEATURE!

Always had interest in medical field

I used to a regular in the app. Learning all kinds of illness and diseases, but somehow got deleted due to I wasn’t in medical. I was following up on cases. Wish they let me back in.

Posts don’t include dates

Posts don’t include dates, at least on the iPhone app. I can’t tell if these are new, old, active, or inactive.

Used to use; now way to privacy invasive

Used to like the app quite a bit. Forgot about it, now coming back to see I need to submit a photo of my badge as well as credentialing info and full personal information? To look at pictures on the internet? No way.

I really hate this is only for MDs now

I was in the medical field working in the laboratory and was always looking at specific laboratory testing. Can’t do that now unless you have a license number

Please fix this app

I am probably one of your longest users but this app gets more useless as time goes on. JUST ARRANGE THINGS BY DATE. The top case that shows up in my feed today - ECMO and H1N1. How old is this case? 37 comments with no mention of covid- so this case has to be 2.5 years old.

Can’t join, disappointed

I was a happy user of this app a while ago but they now require a user to be a ‘Medical Professional’, so I can no longer access the app. Very disappointing. Instead of banning nonprofessionals, maybe just limit their comments? This app is very educational and interesting. I visited daily. The web site they recommend is no way close to the app. So again, very disappointed.

Kicked us out

Not a medical person but interested in this great app? Sorry —you get access no more. Out. Kicked out. Such a bummer.

Can’t access comments

I have not been able to access the comments since this app changed to the new “blue” version. It keeps saying to sign in to view or leave a comment. I am signed in. I try to sign in again and it doesn’t allow me to sign in. There needs to be a major fix.

Miss The Old App/Access For All

I used to be a daily user. The app fascinated me, helped me grow as a person and student, and even lead to the diagnosis of a connective tissue disorder in someone very close to me. Though I am not a medical professional, I just graduated with a degree to teach math and science. I am so bummed to have lost this resource and really wish you’d open it back up to us all once again. I can honestly say that it would have inspired me to go into medicine, if I had been at a different point in life. Sad.

More T-shirt giveaways

I love the app, I just wish they had more t-shirt giveaways! Surprisingly, my figure 1 illustrated heart t-shirt sparks many conversations with strangers!

Sooo bummed

I have been using this app since it became available and always looked forward to the challenges. Now I can no longer access it because I’m not a practitioner! My degrees are in math theory and electrical engineering ..having developed medical hardware and systems my entire career. If anyone knows of an app like this open to people with medical interests but not degree, please respond. Thanks for reading, Patricia

Don’t Love the “Upgrade”

I used to love this app. Now, not so much. There is no landscape mode and the photos are so zoomed-in that they are somewhat blurry. Also, can’t see the whole image on the screen. In addition, I preferred being able to scroll thru several cases at the one time. Definitely not iPad friendly.

Verified nurse

Since the last update, I have been unable to access this app. Since I can’t reply to your response on my review from Thursday, I was a verified LPN on the site. Which means I should not have to use the non healthcare professional site online. Yes, I have the latest version and uninstall with reinstall does nothing.

Share the knowledge!

So disappointed the app is now closed to non-HCPs. Loved this app. Find a way to let us learn and not contribute!

Thank you

Figure 1 cases are always professionally presented. Very educative and enlightening

Not good

2 weeks since I posted about no landscape mode. Still none. The pictures are gigantic and blurry for the most part. What was wrong with the old version? I could quickly scroll through and read comments, now it’s an extra step to click on comments. Will probably delete.

Deleting this app

After the upgrade, this app effectively doxxed every single one of its users listing our full first and last names on our profiles. This info was probably buried in one of the millions of emails they send weekly and I missed it. A nice bit of gratitude after 18 months working front line for COVID and being one of their first subscribers. The new layout is awful. I’m deleting this app because I don’t trust their moderators.

Love

Tremendous resource. Information WITH pictures!!!! Love it. Thanks

Cannot rotate screen on my iPad.

I like the new app, however, the screen won’t rotate.

I hate the new app

It is AWFUL on my iPad pro. That should not be! I just hate it.

No more access to the app

Sadly I do not have access to the app anymore since I’m not a medical professional.

Great pictures

Of various rashes on a variety of ethnic dermis as well as interesting cases

Highly recommend

Excellent platform for medical education and for seeking answers to clinical conundrums. New app is improved from the original, and I continue to expect it to get better!

It was nice when I had access

Even though I am not a healthcare professional, I used to logon to the app daily to read the cases that were presented. I am fascinated about medicine and Figure1 was great app to learn how diseases and trauma are treated. Now I can’t get access to the app, presumably because I am not a healthcare professional. I don’t understand why it is so critical that I am a healthcare professional if all I want to do is read what is on the app.

Glad to be Back

Happy to return after an extended absence due to SARS and a Septal Wall MI second to the same. We never know the time or date but once we skip over the stick we’re always ready to return to what we know and understand, renewed. We owe it to our patients and students to push each and every one of them to see not only the disease but the person to realize the lack of family interaction when patients are critical can lead to more deaths, longer recovery times, more stress on healthcare workers as well as other staff, and a loss of hope for the patient. We must strive to understand even when tired and worn that we are their link to humanity and while our time is precious and must be spread incredibly thin - we are their only true human interaction at times and can be extremely important to their recovery. Take Heart and Give It In Return For if We Lose This One Special Gift We Will Lose Humanity.

Was a 4, now a 4.6 with changes

Excellent resource for learning and seeing what others do with medical issues that lend themselves to photographs and/or discussion. Still needs to: Be able to support the uploading of videos. Be able to allow typed in websites or references to act as hyperlinks.

Not working

It hasn’t worked for a few months for me. Don’t know if anyone else is having an issue.

What about black background option?

Love the app, but... really the white background can be overbearing and eye tiresome. Is it possible to provide a dark screen background? Thanks!

Limit the users that could post or comment to trained medical professionals

The app is good, the users are poorly chosen— pretty much everyone could play pretend doctors and post or comment unacceptable things.

Needs Video and Thread Timestamps

This app is great for medical professionals who love all things medicine. Of course there are cases on the app where certain specialists are paged for help or posters may elicit help from a certain profession, but for the most part, anyone can contribute. All specialties can learn from others. It is a teaching app, so students of all types are encouraged to comment. It’s ok if you are not a doctor or a provider and you want to post your thoughts or (evidence-based) opinion about a diagnosis or differential. It might help solve the case at best and at worst, opens up communication as to why or why not that dx/ddx will work/not work. There are millions of users across all nations using this app, so what is a rare case in one geographic location (a zebra), it may be very common in others. This makes the app exciting to people that haven’t seen those cases and also allows expert advice from those who have. The developers have done away with downvoting comments, which causes users to engage more. If the app were capable of allowing the posting of videos (surgeries or cases where someone is having gait issues, etc.), it would be an even better learning app! Can you please make a “thumb’s up” feature on each case so we can show our approval or appreciation for it without the need of following r commenting? Also, the comment section is still a confusing jumble. Timestamps are essential for understanding the order of comments, which is necessary to understand the thought process and progression of the case. @Figure1, please fix this! One last thing for the developers to consider: it is very discouraging for the ones engaging in cases to never see a follow-up. Instead of the popularity contest (that is only assigned to providers, not students or other profession, btw) for providers called “Impact Factor”, why not actually reward the posters who provide follow ups in a timely manner, who give positive feedback and who actually provide imaging, labs, pathology/histology/dermatoscopy in their cases and who can prove the diagnosis? This would be much more effective at ensuring higher quality cases! Thank you.

Bugs

I love the app it just not perfectly optimized for the iPhone XR. When I want to go back to the main page the back button is below the clock, it is frustrating. Please solve this. Otherwise it is really good!

Big disappointment

Are these really medical professionals? Wow. My impression is there is a lot of laymen replying. Don’t get me wrong, some cases are good, but there are multiple wrong and embarrassing answers by unqualified people defeating the educational aspect. All what’s wrong with medicine is here - non-evidence based recs, shotgun lab testing, inappropriate use of medications.. I’m out.

LOVE this app!!

I always love opening the figure1 app! Always something interesting... and always learning something new!!

Beware. They charge you without approving.

Price of this app is not listed. I had no idea there was a fee. I thought it was the NEJM case report since it looked so similar. Beware!!!

Awesome app!

Love this app! Highly recommend it

Bugs bugs bugd

There are way too many glitches with this app. Have to constantly close the app and reopen

GREAT Resource. THANK YOU, Figure1,Inc.!!

•After too many deployments to count, soon coming to 28th year as a “pathetic wannabe-doctor” as reviewer “DameEDNA2” lambasts, I’ve seen systemic changes in Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC [“T-Triple-C”]) that develop so fast that pixels on the digital files can barely keep up. •Read the report on the “Boston Marathon Bombing”, publicly available online in full content PDF. •• In systemic, adaptable mindsets dealing with the ever-increasing occurrences of “battlefield trauma in civilian populations” it is the lowly, unclean apes->CITIZENS that are typically “First Responders”; MedMonkeys are “Pre-Hospital Care”; Hospitals (and their gods in with MD embroidery**) are “Definitive Care”. **Not applicable to 90% of physicians who are admitted mere mortals. •Figure1,Inc. has provided a FREE resource that seeks to help. Of course it’s not perfect for everyone...what is? ••This reference will help more people whose common sense guides their application of medical aid. That is a statistically proven fact in AARs (After-Action Reports) from the battlefield to America’s sidewalks. •••• Thank you, Figure1, Inc.!

Not completely ready for prime time

Very interesting, brief, cases. Well-presented, clinically significant. But I can’t seem to get it to work, meaning, I click on the embedded picture in the email or the “View the Grand Rounds now” tab, and can never seem to find the article linked to the email as both choices take me to grand rounds, NOT the actual case. Would be nice if it worked, some of the cases look quite interesting and relevant to my practice. Disappointing.

Won’t work on iPhoneX

They fixed the issue that I was having with the home screen in app when I contacted support. Thanks!

Crashes too much

This is a great app for learning and discussing medical topics but it's hard to do so when it crashes each time I click on a post for more details. Other than that it's very informative and engaging.

Neurology or anyone.

You are useless as an education medium without the answers to the cases.Should not let people randomly post cases for shock value without benefit of what turned out.

Education and Camaraderie

So many opportunities to learn about “real” world medical issues from all corners of the earth and feel the camaraderie. Administrators are wonderful and maintain privacy in strict control.

Lacks integrity

This app was fantastic to start, but has become a sad community of apparently ill-prepared providers as well as support personnel who seem to misunderstand scope of practice. I have never seen such egregious use of antibiotics as I see posted in cases on this app, as well as LPNs, RNs and EMTs who think hey have more training than they do. There are about three users who post valid, evidence-based information, otherwise it seems to be an outlet for nurses and EMTs who wish they were doctors, and bottom-of-the-barrel med students who really should know their stuff better. Embarrassing.

Can’t go past the initial page.

I was shave excited about this app, but I see (or don’t see, because I can’t access it) it needs more work. The app won’t allow me to go past the enter email page. Not a very good start if you can’t get past the initial page. Fail!

To the greatest!

Figure one is definitely the greatest app you could ever pass by! It is helping me through my medical journey a whole bunch! Much thanking and appreciation to all founders!

Please update software

Please update the app to make it compatible with iPhone X!!!

Awesome!

Great app, so educational and interesting. Needs iPhone X support though!!

LOVE THIS

I love this app. I am an Oncology nurse but I love looking at all the cases. I learn a lot from other poster’s input.
