Contact MDCalc Medical Calculator Support

MDCalc is an excellent medical calculator, with updated literature citations and educational snippets. The iPhone version is stellar however the iPad version has several limitations in function that do not take advantage of the functionality of the iPad and it’s Pro-functionality. I work on the wards and am frequently using many of the calculations in the App on my new iPad Pro with the magic keyboard. This means I am in landscape mode throughout the day. Upon opening the app on landscape mode, the app does not rotate whatsoever. Meaning it cannot be used while the iPad is docked. The app also does not take advantage of the iPad OS’s multitasking features like split-view or slide-over, a huge detriment when I am charting on my virtual desktop app and looking to have MDCalc slide-over to briefly calculate a MELD score for example. The addition of these features to the iPad app would make this a 5/5 app. But until then, it’s unusable for the iPad Pro especially when it is on the Magic Keyboard.

Unfortunately the implementation of these web forms on the iPhone version is really bad. Makes it very hard to enter and delete entries, move the cursor, the keyboard gets in the way without intelligently scrolling often, etc. In short the UI is kind of a disaster despite the calculators being very useful.

This is a very useful app. I realize that it is designed for iPad, but it would be super helpful if the developers ensured that it can be used on Apple Silicon Macs as well. It used to work, but it no longer does, and I am not sure if this is due to an update.
