Hi! I’m Daniel. I see you’re having trouble opening the Medscape app on your iPad. I’d be glad to help you get that working.

Just to get a bit more clarity first: when you say it won’t open, do you see any error messages, does the app crash immediately, or does it simply stay on a blank screen? Also, is your iPad running the latest iPadOS version? Knowing this will help me tailor the solution better.

In the meantime, here’s a step-by-step approach to try:

1. Check for Updates:
Open the App Store, tap your profile icon, and go to the Updates section. See if there is an update available for Medscape. If so, update it. Sometimes app issues are resolved with the latest version.

2. Force Close and Reopen the App:
Swipe up from the bottom to bring up the app switcher, find Medscape, then swipe it up off the screen to close it. Then try launching it again.

3. Restart Your iPad:
Power off your iPad fully, then turn it back on. This can refresh system resources and fix some app launch issues.

4. Uninstall and Reinstall the Medscape App:
If the app still won’t open after updates and restarts, press and hold the Medscape app icon until you see an option to delete it. Delete the app, then go back to the App Store and install it fresh. This often clears corrupted data causing crashes.

If after these steps Medscape still won’t open, there could be other factors like network issues or device compatibility, which we can explore next.

Could you try those and let me know what happens? I’m here to get you back into Medscape smoothly.

Are you satisfied with this initial troubleshooting?

The APP crashes and returns to my home page. It used to work until couple of weeks ago.

Thanks for the extra details! Since the Medscape app crashes and returns to your iPad's home screen—and it used to work fine until a couple of weeks ago—this kind of behavior often points toward an app-related bug or an issue with the current app installation.

You've likely tried restarting, but if not, please do that once more just to be sure the system is refreshed.

Next, here’s what I recommend:

1. Update the App: Double-check in the App Store if there's a newer version of Medscape available. Developers often release updates to fix bugs or crashes.

2. Uninstall and Reinstall the Medscape App: Delete the app entirely from your iPad, then reinstall it fresh from the App Store. This helps clear out any corrupted data that might cause crashing. To delete, press and hold the app icon, tap "Remove App," then confirm. After that, go to the App Store and reinstall.

3. Check for iOS Updates: Your iPad runs OS X but since it’s an iPad, its system is iPadOS. With version 10.15.7 you mentioned, I want to clarify if you're referring to your Mac or iPad. For the iPad, go to Settings > General > Software Update and make sure your iPadOS is up to date. Some apps rely on certain minimum OS features.

If after these steps the issue still persists, it could be an app compatibility issue on certain devices that sometimes comes up after updates. In that case, reaching out to Medscape support would be helpful for a deeper investigation.

Here's their Help Center article about app crashes that aligns well with your case: if problems continue after trying these steps, they suggest contacting Medscape directly for further help App crashing article 1.
