We are happy to hear you're finding the Bates' Pocket Guide to be a reliable resource. Thank you for taking the time to leave a positive review!

Sectional information wrong

Some topics do not correlate to the information provided. Asterixis information provides you to cranial nerve testing / neurological responses and same goes for Babinski response.. the app information needs to be updated and reviewed as it is not factual and misleading

Hello and thank you for your feedback. While the content within our apps comes directly from the publishers of the titles, we can forward your comments to the publishers for review and potential revision. Thank you again for sharing your concerns and your experience.

outdated software - glitchy and not user friendly

For such a pricey app, would've hoped it could have a better design and content layout. So hard to navigate between topics.

Money grab

You have to keep paying again and again for this app.

Hello Camille, The Bates' Pocket Guide to Physical examination is an edition-based product, meaning if a new edition were to be released, you would need to repurchase if you'd like - similar to a hard copy textbook. Otherwise, it is a one time purchase and does not auto-renew. If you have any further questions please reach out to our support team at support@unboundmedicine.com with your account details so we can provide further assistance.

Wrong Algorithms

In the app, Algorithm 23-2 is titled Approach to Shoulder Pain — except the image shown is for Back Pain. Algorithm 23-3 is the reverse - it’s titled Approach to Back Pain — except the image shown is for Shoulder Pain. This is concerning…

Too pricey

Honestly after buying the textbook, the physical pocket guide and the video access I think that should count toward this app. Won’t be purchasing

Response from developer

Unbound Medicine licenses the content from the publisher to create the mobile app for Bates' Pocket Guide. Any promotions or offers that come along with the physical book are determined by the publisher of the textbook and not by Unbound Medicine.

Ok-ish

Plenty of detail but not the easiest to digest and read. It’s a shame as there is a lot of info there.

Useless

This app is useless... just an app to get you to buy the $75 version.

Don't waste your money

I wish I could give this a negative rating!!!! To purchase this app for $50+ dollars then ask for more $$$ is total crap!!! Total waste!!! DO NOT BUY THIS APP

Rip off

I purchased the text book for $90+ dollars, the kindle book for another $45.00 (I can highlight and annotate this and view from my iPhone or iPad). I AM NOT paying another $50.00 for an other electronic version (THAT I CAN'T EVEN CHECK OUT UNDER THE PREVIEW TAB WHICH JUST TELLS YOU THERE IS AN ERROR) and doesn't appear to be from the original publisher of the book (which concerns me this is either copyright infringement or bootleg). I'm honestly shocked people have paid for this. Just for a comparison - I purchased the CMDT 2015 (book, study guide, flash cards) for just over $120 and the corresponding McGraw-Hill app is only $6.99. Seven bucks for an app version of info I already purchased for a large chunk of change makes sense - $50.00 is just plain greed.

Not enough pertinent preview

I am not going to pay 55.00 for something I really can't try out. The contents that are allowed isn't the meat that I want to see.

Good textbook, but doesn't take my Bate's account

I disappointed because paid full price for Bate's textbook, their online videos, and still should pay for this mobile version. I believe we should get at least discount.
