I have developed a critical appraisal app  for Android called EBM Rater.  It covers all the major study designs including noninferiority studies. I also included the criteria to evaluate subgroup analyses, composite endpoints, and surrogate endpoints. It includes standard EBM calculators also.  Its in the Google playstore and on amazon.  

 

I have always suspected many docs don’t critically appraise what they read because the criteria were unknown to them and not located in a convenient to use package.

 

I hope some of you will give this a try and send me some feedback either thru this listserv or at [log in to unmask]

 

It does cost $0.99. I don’t get any of the money. It goes to the students who helped code it to maintain it and update it in the future. I hope to develop an iOS version in the future.

 

Thanks for giving it a try
