The very best medical information available. Thanks for making it so accessible!
Hard to find specific information from search bar. Such as, when I typed mental illness or mental health it returned no results. The topic is mental health disorders and has to be typed in exactly to access the information.
The best medical resource I can get free access to. One advice: resume partial download for those with low network speed and keep data outside system partition.
If you know absolutly nothing about the most basic anatomy and medine,well you hit the jackpot with this one. So if you dont know what an eye lid is you will find it very informative. If you read.
Very reliable source of information. I deleted my old review because the technical problems was with my device. My apologies to the developers.
Is what it claims. Room for improvement but still an excellent and useful reference...
great information but the app uses alot of storage space. no setting to use sd card as storage option.
Can't keep it open to use without updating it every time.
