Cannot open

No use! Doesn’t open both in iPad and iphone

What’s the point?

My initial thought was that I’d be able to enter my lab results over time, find recurring problems, and share to a printer or as a pdf report. No such luck, so it’s back to my spreadsheet method.

Not working

Everything works out fine until it got crashed. Uninstalling it.

Spelling, grammar, AND FACTUAL ERRORS galore!

The first blood level I looked up was ferritin. Either the author doesn’t believe proofreading is necessary, or English is not his/her native language, and thus an editor is desperately needed. In the description, I found “ironis” instead of “iron is” repeated multiple times. It would be an understandable error if “ironis” was actually a valid word, however, no such word exists in the English language. That informs me that as the author typed, s/he ignored an entire page loaded with red-underlined misspelled words, and then just went on to make the next error. Here is a short example:
“Ironis a mineral that our bodies need for many functions...”
Throughout the ferritin page, the author fails to use proper spacing between words, like this:
“Your body needs the right amount ofiron. If you
have too littleiron, you may developirondeficiency
anemia. Causes of lowironlevels include blood loss,
poor diet, or an inability to absorb enoughironfrom
foods. People at higher risk of having too littleironare
young children and women who are pregnant or have
periods.
I have boldfaced the oddly strung together words in this short paragraph, and have italicized a phrase with rather clumsy wording. These errors are not outliers; the entire app is constructed this way.

In addition to spelling errors, the author has posted not one, but TWO DIFFERENT minimum/maximum levels for each blood test. The titles in each range box read EXACTLY as follows:
“Clinical Female Adult Range (after man...”
“Clinical Female Adult Range (before m...”
In both cases, the title abruptly stops — there is no endparend to the parenthetical phrase, just dead air, and there is no way that I could discover to see the rest of the line. The reader is left wondering if the wildly divergent values would have made sense with that information. It gets even more confusing when you consider the values in each of the “Clinical Female Adult Ranges” because they are so very different from each other. One claims the minimum to maximum normal ferritin range is:
“12 mg/dL to 263 mg/dL”, but the other claims:
“11 mg/dL to 122 mg/dL” is accurate!
How can they both be correct? Perhaps if we had access to each box’s entire title it would make sense, but as is, I’m left with wondering if my current level of 153, which is smack dab in the middle of the normal range of one value really is normal since it’s well over the maximum level of the other posted range.

Any app that can only be used in portrait mode on an iPad is annoying, and not worth keeping solely for that problem.

All in all, this is an entirely useless and frustrating app. Were it just the English abuses, I might have given it 2 stars, but since the facts themselves are suspect, I find myself searching for a negative number of stars to award to this app. Since negative numbers neither exist in the AppStore nor in the real world (I’d like to buy negative 3 apples please), I will have to be satisfied with just one star, and be even more satisfied with a better app!

Notifications from app

For me, videos are time consuming. I prefer text messages, text presentations and articles. The app dies not provide a choice.
So far, this is my only complaint and i am still looking for a better app that will service my needs.
