I gave 4 stars only because it would be useful if it had the chemical symbol next to the name ### 3/5 — Pretty Face, But Needs Help *2015-08-17, version 1.3* I started taking notes as I worked my way through the app, but soon realized these folks haven't hired me as their editor, proofreader or programmer, so I'm not going into detail here. Suffice it to say: If you create an iOS app, you should keep the platforms in mind; iPhones work in portrait mode, but iPads also work in landscape mode. Any app I use more than twice needs to work in landscape mode on my iPad. So this one is not long for my world. I found the graphics pretty but distracting, just due to the flashing movement, but I keep thinking of the many patients I've known who could not tolerate the sight of all those needles and all that blood. This app is for them, not for medical professionals. I really do love the intention here, and the basic foundation. But it needs professional help. Even the home screen on the iPad has a problem. The introductory paragraphs are at the bottom of the screen, in a text box which does not scroll, so this useful information just stops dead. And then ### 3/5 — Informative. BUT *2013-09-18, version 1.3* Very helpful in understanding the tests, however, would be good to be able to change the reading settings from American to Canadian ie metric to imperial and visa versa, for example on the glucose. ### 3/5 — Mr *2013-08-23, version 1.3* Ads are really annoying as they get in the way of the text. Must be a way of deleting them so as to read the information. ### 3/5 — Good PowerPoint presentation, but that's basically it… *2013-08-05, version 1.3* The easiest/best thing you could do to make this app popular would be to allow basic tracking of lab results. When I get a HbA1C, all I really want to know is how my results compare to history, to the public at large, and what that means. You've got the what that means part down, now just start with a basic spreadsheet to record results over time, maybe a simple line graph, and you're on your way. Second, the flash animation at the top takes up way too much real estate. Just show it on the opening page, or allow us to slide it upwards. Third, simple change, is navigational bars. When the text runs off the page, I haven't yet figured out how to scroll. Plus I used the app more than once before I figured out there was more than one card in each set. With those three minor changes, you'd add a star to this review and make yourself a mandatory app in my health workflow. Thanks! ### 4/5 — LPN *2013-04-04, version 1.3* Could really use analysis for BNP! ### 3/5 — Blood test guide *2013-01-13, version 1.1* I would love to enter results and review in PDF format. Excellent app. ### 5/5 — Great handy app *2013-01-08, version 1.1* This app is great for helping to understand lab test results and studying lab values ### 4/5 — Blood app *2012-12-31, version 1.1* Great app. Easy, handy reference! ### 5/5 — Ms. *2012-12-30, version 1.1* An awesome app.great for references ### 4/5 — Awesome app! *2012-12-20, version 1.1* Practical, user-friendly app with good info. ### 4/5 — Great idea *2012-12-15, version 1.1* I have always wanted to know what all my bloods meant. This is very handy to keep. Glad I found this. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cannot open *2021-03-23, version 3.1.4* No use! Doesn’t open both in iPad and iphone ### 1/5 — What’s the point? *2019-07-06, version 3.1.4* 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. ### 1/5 — Not working *2019-03-05, version 3.1.4* Everything works out fine until it got crashed. Uninstalling it. ### 1/5 — Spelling, grammar, AND FACTUAL ERRORS galore! *2018-09-10, version 3.1.4* 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! ### 1/5 — Updated version is useless! *2018-01-23, version 2.8* I loved the old version of this app. The updated version doesn’t show half the information and it freezes and closes the app. I’m deleting and will find another. ### 1/5 — simplistic *2013-02-15, version 1.1* basic - not much info also has adverts on every page ### 1/5 — Simplified to a fault *2012-03-20, version 1.1* Some data are inaccurate. Clinical information is so incomplete as to be misleading. DO NOT DO ANYTHING BASED SOLELY ON WHAT YOU READ HERE! Take their advice seriously and discuss results with your health care provider. ### 2/5 — Not professional *2013-05-18, version 1.3* Good info, but the ads often cover the text ... Makes it sort of useless. ### 2/5 — iPad version is bad *2012-05-07, version 1.1* This app was designed for iPhone, and it found it's way to the iPad with no change except magnifying the size of everything. Text and icons are so large that I had to distance my iPad to be able to look at it. The language used is not layman friendly, with lots of medical jargon (copy/past from text books or something) Some of the tests have reference range that are invented for sure. Glucose reference ranges are an example of loads of ignorance to what science tells us. Where did they come up with these reference ranges is unknown. Bottom line: minimally useful app, designed for iPhone not iPad, not layman friendly, with inaccurate information. ### 3/5 — Notifications from app *2018-05-16, version 3.1.3* 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Useful app that can be improved further *2018-04-01, version 3.0.2* This is an useful app that serves as a reference - I would love to see a feature where I am able to upload my reports and see only the details of relevant parameters. Additionally if it keeps track of my records over a period of time, it would be perfect! ### 5/5 — Quick update *2017-09-27, version 2.0* Thanks for the quick update for iOS 11. ### 5/5 — Good *2014-01-17, version 1.3* Very good ### 5/5 — Aces.! *2013-11-29, version 1.3* A great help thank you x ### 5/5 — Blood tet *2013-08-09, version 1.3* I rated this 4 star.
