User reviews

EMGuidance is well-regarded for its extensive medical content, ease of use, and value to healthcare professionals in South Africa, especially students. However, recent updates have negatively impacted the app's search capabilities, caused login issues, and led to inappropriate regional guideline mixing. Users appreciate prompt customer support and offline access but express concern over privacy practices and desire better customization options.

Pros

Provides comprehensive and consolidated medical guidelines and drug information, particularly useful for South African healthcare professionals.
Highly useful for students and healthcare practitioners as a quick reference tool in clinical settings.
Good customer service with prompt responses and continuous updates addressing user concerns.
Offline content availability enhances usability without internet access.
User-friendly design with an extensive database, aiding daily medical practice and education.

Cons

Recent updates have introduced significant search functionality problems, often returning no results or blank screens.
The app displays guidelines and treatments from inappropriate regions (e.g., Tanzania) causing confusion for South African users.
Login issues persist post-update, including password recognition problems that do not occur on desktop versions.
Lack of ability to filter or choose guidelines by region makes finding relevant information difficult.
Privacy concerns related to background GPS tracking and mandatory account creation without clear benefit explanation.

Such a great and polished app. Really a must have for any student or health care professional. Always useful and much faster for standard reference and checking obscure information that may be hard to find.
