Version 18.0.0
The problem with all-you-can-eat buffets is that they make you feel really full, and you always leave food on your plate. Likewise, our monthly EM:RAP episodes fill your head with so much interesting stuff that it feels overloaded, and you’re probably missing out on some key learning.
To solve this, we’re changing things up. Instead of big monthly episodes, we’re going weekly. But if you prefer the buffet style, don’t worry. We’ll still gather everything into a monthly digest for you.
We’ve also made the app better for offline use, with new menus for easier downloading, favoriting, and playlist management. Plus, we’ve tweaked the media player for a smoother experience.
It’s a significant update, so grab the latest version of the EM:RAP iOS app now!

Version 17.1.1
We’re getting awfully excited for spring! So excited, in fact, we’ve started our cleaning early. We’ve metaphorically shaken a few bugs from our rug, and not-quite-literally replaced the batteries in our smoke detectors. What’s more, we’ve fixed a number of issues related to downloading and offline playback, and have even added several new performance enhancements with more on the way. So stay tuned! We’re as busy as beavers, keeping our iOS app running in tip-top shape.

Version 17.1.0
They say the closer you get to moving at the speed of light, the slower time passes for you, relative to an observer at rest. If that’s the case, then our app must have been traveling at warp speed because it certainly appeared its flow of time had slowed to a crawl. So slowly did it crawl that you, the observer at rest, may have noted the app really didn’t do much at all from time to time. It felt laggy or might freeze up now and again, as if it was moving in slow motion while slingshotting around a quantum singularity and entering a time slip.
We here at EM:RAP have slowed down the app in an effort to speed it up. That is, we’ve addressed the bug which made the app underperform—almost as if we’ve dropped out of warp and synchronized our clocks. Choppy performance is now a thing of the past, and routine freezes have become a distant memory. We’ve also released a number of visual fixes, as well as improving the favoriting experience.
So why not plot a course and engage those engines with our latest EM:RAP iOS app update.

Version 17.0.0
Some people mark the arrival of Fall with an uptick in their pumpkin spice consumption. Others dutifully harvest fresh vegetables from their backyard gardens—while some us choose to recapture our youth by donning oversized sweaters and rolling around in dead leaves.
We here at EM:RAP have chosen to usher in the spooky season with a chilling update to our iOS app. We’ve toiled in the laboratory and mixed potions in our cauldron, all in an effort to add support for our brand new, spine-tingling DARK MODE. Now you can consume the same medical education you love in a format that’s sure to set your pulse racing.
So go ahead and grab this latest update, but don’t forget to enable dark mode in your device’s system settings. We’re sure you’ll agree: the app’s new look is a real scream.

Version 16.9.1
Shaving can be tedious, can’t it? Lathering up your skin, dragging a sharpened piece of metal across it, applying a tourniquet when things go horribly wrong. It’s no wonder people grow beards, but even beards need regular pruning to keep neat and tidy.
With this release, think of our iOS app as a beard. We’ve plucked and trimmed and tidied it up just for you. We’ve combed some of the tangly bits out of our user interface, and what’s more, we’ve even prepared a new way of alerting you to upcoming EM:RAP events.
So give this update a try, why don’t you? You’ll have never looked so dashing.

Version 16.9.0
In many ways, the EM:RAP iOS app is like a car, one we keep making better over time. Sometimes we’re excited to tell you all about the new spoiler we’ve bolted onto the trunk, or the sweet cherry-bomber tailpipes we’ve replaced your sensible muffler with. Other times, though, we change the oil and rotate the tires to keep things humming—or in the case of those tailpipes, booming—along.
And that’s exactly what we’ve done with this release. We’ve fixed a number of internal bugs, improved our loading animations, and even increased performance by tidying up our database. We’ve also expanded our error messaging, so you’ll know what to do if something goes wrong.
So go ahead and give our latest iOS update a try. But please, go easy with those tailpipes. They might wake the neighbors.

Version 16.8.1
It’s summertime up here in the northern hemisphere. Time for barbecues with friends, lounging on beaches, even drinking from backyard garden hoses after a rousing game of touch football. But as temping as kicking back with a cold one may be, we here at EM:RAP haven’t wavered from bringing you the greatest medical education the world over. There’s so much of it, in fact, drinking from our metaphorical garden hose might seem a little more like being blasted in your face by the fire department. That’s why we’ve rolled out a new series of in-app banners to let you know about new and exciting things you won’t want to miss. We’ve also cleaned up a few bugs and improved the sign-in, all so you can get to your favorite content even faster.
So go ahead and give this latest update a try, just as soon as you’re done skinny dipping at the lake or roasting marshmallows over a campfire. We think you’ll like what you’re going to see.

Version 16.6.0
Spring has sprung, so we’ve been tidying up our app. We’ve shaken a few bugs from the rug to keep it plush and fresh, and what’s more, we’ve added banners to let you know the moment we slip another new and delicious bundt cake into the oven. April showers bring EM:RAP flowers with this new release of our iOS app!

Version 16.5.0
Has this ever happened to you? You’re at the grocery store, and you’ve just spent ten minutes diligently inspecting cantaloupes—feeling for soft spots, checking for rattles (because maybe cantaloupes rattle when they’re bad?!?)—before carting them to the cash register, only to realize your two-for-one cantaloupe coupon expired three months ago. All that time trying to find the perfect melon could have been spent thumbing through the magazine rack, if only you’d known your coupon had lapsed.
We here at EM:RAP can relate. That’s why we’ve introduced a new banner to let you know when your subscription has expired. Tapping it will direct you to emrap.org so you may renew your subscription and resume listening to all our educational goodness with minimal interruption.
In addition, we’ve tweaked our playback system, so now the app will pause when you interact with Siri or Apple Maps. We’ve also updated the app to autoplay content when you’re redirected from a link, and we’ve bundled in a few graphic and usability fixes too.
So, go ahead and give this latest release a try—and don’t forget to check the expiry date on your coupons. We wouldn’t want you to miss out on a good deal for cantaloupes!

Version 16.4.0
First impressions have always mattered, whether it’s with a patient in your department, or with your high school sweetheart standing aloof across the gym floor during the spring fling dance of your senior year. We here at EM:RAP know what it’s like to have to dry your sweaty palms before stepping into an examination room, or to fix your hair before asking someone to slow-dance to the first half of Stairway to Heaven. You care about leaving a good first impression, so we’ve decided our app should leave a good one too.
That’s why we’ve updated our app’s start-up experience. We’ve added an informative first-run loading screen so you’ll know exactly when the app is ready for you, without having to endure our tired old jokes. We’ve also decreased how long it takes for the app to start, and provided a few nice UI updates, like showing progress bars for running downloads.
First impressions matter, so we hope this update will leave you swooning—just like your beau did in your high school gymnasium, right before the guitar solo kicked in.

Remember that time you were illegally parked in a loading zone, scrolling through the list of audio content in the EM:RAP app, only to be interrupted by a parking bylaw officer writing you a ticket? When you got back to the app, you had totally forgotten where you were. Well, no more! Now the All Episodes section has a flashy new banner to help remind you. Oh, there are lots of other improvements around loading and deep linking that make this all-new version of the app feel like it’s wrapped in the comfiest of exoskeletons.

We noticed the app was misbehaving for a few of you, so we sat it down and gave it a stern talking-to. It feels awfully bad about the whole thing and promises it won’t crash on startup any more. We even made it pinky swear.
We also cleaned up the search results list, so now it will load the full result set, instead of just the first few pages.

Like a teen who’s been gifted their parents’ old car for graduating high school, we here at EM:RAP have had only one thing on our minds: speed. Specifically, the speed of our app. We decided to make it snappier to use and faster to start. What followed was more than just tinting the windows and slapping a noisy muffler on your dad’s ’93 Tercel. Instead, we took a deep-dive into the nuts and bolts of the code and eked out whatever performance we could, drastically dropping the start up time while removing the need to pull-to-refresh in order to stay up to date. The app will now do all that for you.
We also took the opportunity to fix bugs and improve the linking between emrap.org and the app. Now you can jump seamlessly between the app and website with the tap of a button. So go ahead and give this update a try, and see just how quickly you’ll get to where you’re going.

We here at EM:RAP have been busy preparing for a great big announcement that we can’t wait to share with you. We’ve washed the dishes and dusted our desks, and we’ve even taken the rugs outside for a good beating. What’s more, we’ve shaken the bugs out of our app, smoothed out the wrinkles, and dressed it in its Sunday best in preparation for what’s to come. So stay tuned, because we’re all giddy with excitement.

We all have that one friend who likes to brag about themselves at parties a little too much, but who never gets around to putting their money where their mouth is when challenged. You know how it goes. They claim they can slam a dunk, do more than ten pushups in a row, or recite pi to a hundred places. When asked to prove it, they slink out of the room with a sore throat or some other convenient excuse.
We here at EM:RAP have looked inwardly lately, and have realized our apps are a lot like that friend of yours who once bragged about eating twenty-five pickled eggs in a single sitting. We tell you all about our latest and greatest EM:RAP content through app notifications, but when pressed, we don’t actually show it to you. Well, all that has changed. Now notifications will link you directly to the content we want you to see. Playlists, episodes, even chapters and written summaries. Watch us put our money where our mouths are with this latest update to the EM:RAP iOS app.
(You might want to keep an eye on those notifications for a special surprise—coming soon!)

We’ve had the exterminator in and they’ve fumigated our code base and shaken out the app and swept up the floor. Those of you who were having trouble starting up your app ought to have an easier time after this update. Give it a shot!
