Some diseases only have tables

### 1/5 — 공짜가아니네요

*2011-01-23*

흠.  다운받고보니 무료가 아닌듯해요

### 1/5 — 궁금

*2010-04-21*

1년후에는 아예 다운을 못하는건지 아니면 17판만다운가능하고 엡그레이드가 언되는건지 궁금

### 1/5 — No Support

*2010-02-04*

I downloaded this app and paid for one year subscription for Harrison. My credit card has been charged twice and no support from customer service. Please dont buy any software from Unibound Medical Inc. - Dr Kainth, Haematology Registrar, UK

### 2/5 — 원래 아이디와 비번 있으시면

*2009-12-29*

좋은 어플입니다;;

### 2/5 — Please include INDEX

*2009-12-12*

Please include an index as well as a better search function. It's very tough to  find many conditions without a proper index like in the hard copy text.

### 1/5 — Not Harrison

*2025-09-16*

That should be it, it is nothing like Harrison, it’s a joke should refund

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2021-11-28*

This app neither provides entire book.. neither you can find detailed information.. this is just a superficial app.. lost 8000rs.

**Developer response:** The content of our Harrison's Manual of Medicine mobile app (and website) is provided by the publisher of the printed text version of the reference. The Harrison's Manual is a pocket sized reference derived from the more extensive Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine.

### 1/5 — Harrison’s manual of medicine  unbound

*2020-11-20*

I am a physician of 50 years experience. This manual has insufficient information for clinical practice.  Rating 0
Don’t buy this app.   $89 and I’m not able to get it to work.  Complaint to company returned to me and directed to apple   Apple support has become very complicated when it comes to app complaints.  I’m really upset.

### 1/5 — Propaganda enganosa

*2015-05-24*

Não se obtem registro para uso do aplicativo, tampouco ajuda do suporte. Não comprem.

### 1/5 — KSA

*2013-03-28*

1

### 1/5 — Dr dew

*2013-02-28*

I purchase Harrison's 18 edition through the website. And I am not happy with the content it deliveries. It looks like it is made only for under graduates and the content is not upto the mark for post grads or physicians. We are able to access medscape for free and it gives much more information than your paid softwares. I have also tried your merk manual on my iPad as well. The same experience there also. Pls improve your content as the actual text book gives much better quality than yours.

### 1/5 — Harrison's

*2013-01-30, version 1.8*

Poor text context

### 1/5 — Waste of Money

*2012-07-21*

Search function is horrible.
Useless to use on the wards.
No info on practical treatment of diseases, only generalities.
Totally uncomparable with pocket version of Harrissons'.

Extremely useful in my day to day clinical approach.

### 5/5 — Indispensable. Незаменимо.

*2022-09-19*

Лучший медицинский учебник всех времён и народов. The best medical textbook of all times and peoples.

### 5/5 — Good pocket internal medicine

### 5/5 — Med

*2022-05-27*

Pretty cool and interesting

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share you positive review!

### 5/5 — Must have App

*2020-01-15*

Internal medicine is incomplete without Harrison

### 5/5 — MD

*2012-01-21*

Good!

### 5/5 — This is the New 17th Edition!

*2009-06-01*

This is a response to the question regarding the reason for so many one-star reviews. Many people misunderstand and feel the content of this application is free, although it is clearly stated in the description that it is free for current customers and new customers must purchase content from Unbound Medicine. Hence they give a bad review when they un-install. Those customers that purchased the application are very happy with its performance.

### 4/5 — Good

*2013-08-02*

Doesn't have everything but it's an abridged version with major stuff

### 4/5 — stuart in norfolk

*2010-07-29*

This is helpful for the quick review of things that are updated or things that you have not seen for a while or even considered in your differential. It was not an in depth view of most things but it helps when you don't want to lug out the 20 pound text.  Easy transfer to my new phone from old and  appreciate that.

### 4/5 — Needs improvement

*2010-06-07*

Another reviewer already mentioned the problem with the figures. This is the first application I have purchased for iPhone that would allow viewing of the figures. I wasted a great deal of money on others only to find that they required flash players.  The information in this tool is useful but it is always better to see what they are talking about. It's too bad they did not take advantage of the touch screen size control of the iPhone.     I think all the one star reviews are from people who do not know how expensive reference books are.  This is not a toy. If they can improve the figures and maintain the quality of information, I will continue my subscription indefinitely.
