Is there a way for you to update the app by adjusting the screen size for the latest device such as the 14 pro? Thank you! ### 3/5 — Where is the search feature? *2021-05-17* Please add search functionality (both for searching name and database) ### 4/5 — Some suggestions *2019-07-06, version 2.0* It is a good app but can be better. Would be nice to have a small, not very intrusive notification or widget where one can choose to see the number of daily random eponyms (just like some vocabulary apps do). It is also good that the app is minimalist (not sure if on purpose) and yes, I know it is a google search away, but perhaps it would be a better learning tool if there were some drawings, images etc. (where aplicable) or maybe the possibility to make such a search directly in the app. This being said, thank for the work behind this app. ### 5/5 — Very good *2017-05-26* For student and MD. But in 32 bits and need update for ios11 ### 5/5 — Update? *2017-05-18, version 1.4.2* Great app. Will you be updating the app so it can function with the next iOS? ### 4/5 — Need to update *2017-03-21* Please update the app as soon as possible. It's not very friendly with the new iPhones and the new iOS. Amazing work otherwise. Love it. ### 4/5 — Traducir a Español *2016-07-29, version 1.4.2* Es muy buena app vienen muchísimos Síndromes si estuviera en español seria perfecta. ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2016-06-23* Really good app. Very useful for med students. But it could use some updates with the look and other features. ### 4/5 — Great app *2015-10-21* I have been using this app ever since I had my first iPhone back in 2009. I wish more eponyms are added since I have seen quite a few are missing. Oh and updating the looks of the app will also help. It is still stuck in the old era. Keep up the good work . ### 5/5 — Excelente app *2015-10-20, version 1.4.2* Excelente app con muy buena información y lo que me pareció excelente es que es gratis para apoyar a los estudiantes. ### 3/5 — Bugs need to be fixed *2015-08-18, version 1.4.2* This was a great app, but it seems like it hasn't been changed since the iPhone 3. There are tons of bugs now and I can't look at an eponym without the iTunes applications tab opening by itself. Please fix it! Adding more eponyms would make it even better ### 3/5 — Used to be a great app! *2015-04-03, version 1.4.2* Now it's crashing all the time! Last update was 3 years ago please update! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for me *2025-06-23* It looks like a useful idea, and I don’t doubt, from screenshots, that it works for some people; but on my up-to-date iPhone I get nothing but blank lines with arrows, clicking on which leads to blank pages. ### 1/5 — Don’t work…. *2022-09-24* It’s something wrong in iOS 16…. Don’t work ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work *2020-11-27, version 2.0* With the last OS update it doesn’t work. Could you please fix it? Thank you ### 1/5 — No funciona *2018-04-08, version 2.0* Al menos en OS10 no funciona. Hace mucho que no se actualiza. ### 1/5 — You ruined it *2017-09-20, version 2.0* Stopped working after the update. ### 1/5 — App changed??? *2017-09-06, version 2.0* I ' wondering why the app changed and now i have the one for student and it doesn't work! I write words and show nothing! I' m sorry but my previous version was for 5 stars and now this i suddenly have is for 0 star! ### 1/5 — Less user friendly. *2017-09-06* Shiny new lick of paint, but now the right sided easy scroll alphabet locator is gone, meaning that you have to spend a lot of time scrolling to get anywhere. Wish I never updated. **Developer response:** Yes, sorry about that issue, it's on our todo list! We finally needed to update because the old version won't work on iOS 11, this one thing didn't make it in yet. ### 1/5 — Needs update *2017-08-28, version 1.4.2* The app won't work on iOS 11. It needs to be updated asap! I've been using it for years. ### 1/5 — Please fix *2015-03-26, version 1.4.2* I love the app but its now unusable. The app keeps crashing and redirecting me to App Store to install Candy Crush. As much as I'd like to play games all day, I don't have time for that or the constant reopening of Eponyms. Please fix this!! ### 1/5 — Only a-c?! *2010-09-24, version 0* ONLY GOT A-c n the alphabet for this one..... Tear ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2019-08-29* I suggest to add pictures of some eponyms ### 5/5 — Carrington’s pneumonia *2019-07-31* Great app would like to be able to search under first letter as in the previous version. Just found another missing eponym chronic eosinophilia pneumonia.... Carrinton’s disease😀 ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-04-14, version 2.0* Excellent app, highly recommend. ### 5/5 — great *2018-04-08, version 2.0* After latest update some sections look empty:(. Otherwise very good, very helpful. highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2017-09-09* Breadth and depth of eponyms makes this a great app ### 5/5 — Glad it's been updated! *2017-09-07* I've been using this app for many years. It's the easiest way to reference a lot of things. For example I use it frequently to recall named fractures like Galeazzi, Maisonneuve and Monteggia. I'm so glad it's been updated so it will work on the new iOS. ### 5/5 — Needed this upgrade for long time!! *2017-09-06* Now this application has become more user friendly and good UI. ### 5/5 — Must-have app *2017-09-06, version 2.0* Finally updated to support 64-bit, necessary condition to work on iOS11. Useful companion during study sessions, much better than using the eponim chapter in Gray's Anatomy book. ### 5/5 — Excelente que la hayan actualizado👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 *2017-09-05, version 2.0* Muy buena herramienta ### 5/5 — Update to 64!! *2017-08-29, version 1.4.2* Update to 64 bit --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
