This app is super informative, very easy to navigate and provides wonderful ideas on what to ask in certain medical situations. This is a wonderful resource for anyone dealing with spinal medical conditions or injuries. I believe it's easy to use format will make it invaluable to even those who aren't "techy".
This app is an easy to use guide to spine disease. It is a great tool for patients preparing for consultation with a spine surgeon and gives invaluable tips on how to know it's time for surgery. This app provides all the essential information needed for decision-making while treating spinal disorders. Embedded links to medical publications help the user to review the information provided by the app. Despite being written by a non-native speaker (the author is a professor in Heidelberg, Germany),

An app of good quality. The pictures are of high quality and precision. The app is available in my native German - which is flawless and clear. Weaknesses: Not all diseases are well explained. Some tumors of the spine are described in a few words. There are also missing pictures. I found some missing commas in the German text.
