Merck Manual Consumer User Reviews

Top reviews

Review.

In General I love this manual, because as a retired nurse I love to review and brush up on the basics. However on occasion I do not get directed to what I search for and I think because what I ask does not fit the discription I use?

Superb reference

Authoritative. Current. Can’t beat the price!

First resort

This is a super useful first resort for medical information, and when I want more detail its discussions point the way.

Great app.

I’m not in the medical profession, but this app and the hard copy provide valuable information especially with all the untrustworthy material on the internet.

Helps me to understand

Going through several procedures for rare disorders is a little easier to take because I can read here in the Merck Manual at my leisure and in a study mode.

Clear, authoritative, Medical. No Ads.

Unlike WebMD and many other apps and websites

Crashes when in search

Keeps crashing in search. App is up to date.

Search for the word “Flea“

Search for the word “Flea“ causes both the consumer and professional versions to crash. Same search in the veterinary version brings articles with the word in it.

By“Crash“ I mean that the search inside the application aborts and control is returned to the previous screen before the application started.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. Please update the app and see if that resolves the issue with search. If you continue to have issues, please contact us directly at merckmanualsinfo@merck.com.

Intuitive Searches

Would appreciate a more intuitive approach to queries that may not point directly to some content. i.e. “Bone Spur” goes nowhere.

Merck is the best. I’ve tried them all in 28 years as a physician.
