Leave a Review Harrison's Manual of Medicine
Needs improvement
Another reviewer already mentioned the problem with the figures. This is the first application I have purchased for iPhone that would allow viewing of the figures. I wasted a great deal of money on others only to find that they required flash players. The information in this tool is useful but it is always better to see what they are talking about. It's too bad they did not take advantage of the touch screen size control of the iPhone. I think all the one star reviews are from people who do not know how expensive reference books are. This is not a toy. If they can improve the figures and maintain the quality of information, I will continue my subscription indefinitely.Show lessAnother med intern
Please include INDEX
Please include an index as well as a better search function. It's very tough to find many conditions without a proper index like in the hard copy text.HyperGoku
needs MAJOR improvements
first of all, this is not the same as the electronic version of harrison's that i have access to through my medical school library. it is much briefer, and there are topics that are not even covered at all. i was hoping to essentially have the entire textbook on my iPhone - that was well worth $60. but instead, where there is a page on the electronic version, there is a paragraph at best on the mobile version. second, the search function is awful. half of the topics i type in for search never even register. for example, this morning i wanted to read about PCOS. so i typed in "PCOS" and "Polycystic Ovarian ..." neither one brought back a result. "Vitiligo" brings back nothing. Ditto "Graves disease" major improvement is necessary.Show lesstheslant
This is the New 17th Edition!
This is a response to the question regarding the reason for so many one-star reviews. Many people misunderstand and feel the content of this application is free, although it is clearly stated in the description that it is free for current customers and new customers must purchase content from Unbound Medicine. Hence they give a bad review when they un-install. Those customers that purchased the application are very happy with its performance.Show lessNancyRN
Expensive, handy reference that needs some improvement
Note that this app is not free, but costs $59.95 which you must purchase by going to Unbound Medicine's website. Overall, the interface is clean and intuitive. Navigation between topics is faster than Epocrates. However, there are plenty of areas that need improvement. For example, tables are hard to read since the header row does not lock in-place. Also, it's very difficult to find a specific laboratory reference range within the laboratory values section since all you are presented with are five numbered tables. I would also like to see a figure and table index. Some minor changes that would be nice include removal of chapter and sections numbers next to the topic titles as this is distracting and it would be helpful if after viewing a figure you could be sent back to the same place in the text rather than to the beginning of the topic.Show lessMedical Oncologist
