### 1/5 — Otology

*2017-03-28*

Wish I had checked the review on this app. This app is worthless.

### 1/5 — Rubbish! Waste of money

*2016-01-03*

Warning: Do not buy! Do not waste your money! 
Advice: Use google image and screen shot for better ear information and diagrams!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2013-10-28*

As an audiologist, I am always looking for apps for counseling my patients ear anatomy and hearing loss. This app is so basic and not worth your time or money.

### 1/5 — Awful!

*2013-02-06*

Main picture turns dark as you "drag" your finger or stylus to highlight certain information. A very boring APP and expensive!  I want my money back!!! There should be a money back guarantee for crap like this! Not impressed. I certainly wouldn't share this with my students or clients. Do us all a favor, take this off of here!

### 1/5 — Not impressed!

*2012-10-26*

Don't buy the app along with the other two corresponding apps about the inner ear. A big waste of time and money. Come on you guys, honestly. What were you thinking?

### 2/5 — Not very impressive for the cost

*2012-10-15*

It is expensive for no more than it does. I am unhappy with this app

### 3/5 — So-so

*2012-09-09*

I expected a lot more.  Would like to enlarge certain parts, i.e. The cochlea.

### 1/5 — Don't waste your money

*2012-03-23*

This app is extremely overpriced for what it is. . . Or rather isn't. Poor graphic design. All of the ear's structures aren't even labeled! I wish you could get a better preview of apps before you buy them. Guess I should have done my research 😞

### 1/5 — DHH Specialist

*2012-03-08*

Sadly, though the idea here is fabulous, and much-needed in our field, the execution, user interface and benefit is minimal. Not sure I would even keep it on my iPad if it were free, but, to think I just paid for it makes it sting even more. Unfortunately, I feel the same about the other two ear apps recently released by the same group: Middle Ear - Drag and Drop, and Inner Ear - Drag and Drop. Ever hopeful that updates will improve the products...
