What a shame. I’m a nurse and used this all the time ### 4/5 — Excelente *2017-10-03, version 5.0.2* Deberia haber en español pero a pesar de ello esta muy buena la app ### 4/5 — Just downloaded *2016-11-13* From my initial review, I wish I had this app sooner. Will update my review as I get more experience with yet app ### 4/5 — Works well except cannot open additional information *2016-06-14* This is the third app that I have that discusses laboratory results and it does a very good job. It is also supposed to have additional resources i.e. links to websites for further information such as Wikipedia however none of them work as I get an error message talking about how Apple transport security needs to have a secure connection, and this won't work on my home Wi-Fi nor using my data plan. Hopefully this will be fixed in the future. ### 4/5 — Lab results *2016-01-30* Just bought this app so only had a quick look but so far looks really good, impressed by ease of navigation and great for me as an anaesthetic nurse ### 3/5 — Primary care issues *2015-11-23* I tried this app as I'm a preceptor for graduate nurse practitioner students and was looking for something I could recommend. I found Hemoglobin A1c missing from the endocrine section but could find it with the search function which seems only to be accessible from the all test section. The test information does not discuss the limitation of the test with variant hemoglobins. Fructosamine, the alternative test is not in the database at all. I'm concerned with the level of support for primary care in this app. I think this can be a helpful app but will have to give it further trial to see if I should recommend it to others. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2015-09-03, version 5.0.1* Great reference for students ### 5/5 — 😀 *2015-08-12, version 4.1.2* awesome ap!!!! ### 5/5 — Great *2015-08-09, version 4.1.2* Great app ### 5/5 — Very good medical app. *2015-08-05, version 4.1.2* Has very good lab values along with causes of those labs to be increased or decreased. It also had medical abbreviations and medical prefixes and suffixes. ### 5/5 — Heart sounds app *2015-07-20, version 4.1.2* The heart sounds app is beautiful,works very smoothly. Great teaching/learning tool. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not worth the money *2021-04-10* Can’t believe I paid for this app. The screen would cut in the middle and won’t show the lab values in full screen (lower half of the screen will be white and doesn’t respond to tapping or scrolling with fingers). Definitely some kind of bugs there that need to be fixed. ### 1/5 — Sem atualização *2020-09-23* App não atualiza novos valores de referência. Se atualizar, daria 5 estrelas ### 1/5 — Lab value *2020-07-28* Unable to read, as it is all jumbled ### 1/5 — Lack of common tests *2020-05-01* The one reason I downloaded this app was to research ANA (antinuclear antibodies titer), a fairly common test for diagnosing lupus and other autoimmune conditions and it’s not listed! Seriously? This is a huge waste of my time and money as I’m in a specialty and I’m totally surprised that a test as common as this one would be missing. It’s crazy. ### 1/5 — Unreadable *2019-07-16* The first page I opened is type iver doubke print and totally unusable. Tried reinstalling and no luck. Save your money!! ### 1/5 — Overcharged *2018-09-23* Why have you charged me 12.48$ instead of 4.5$???????? ### 1/5 — App transport security policy error *2017-03-04* Very depressing. In app google and other links does not works and show this error. Not able to even email from the app for the error.waiting for long time for the update.very bad experience. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2014-02-08, version 4.1* It does not fair well for this App to have misrepresented itself as it did. This is provides an elementary description of the labs for lay people not for professionals looking for information at their fingertips to reference. Shame on you. ### 2/5 — Bundle purchase *2025-02-12* Worthless, print is so tiny unable to read content and unable to zoom ### 2/5 — Need update *2017-04-12* It was a good app though, currently it crashes frequently and can't send email from contact us. There need to be data update in some new lab items e.g., cystatin C, etc. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome app. *2017-12-15* One of the few medical apps that work properly on iPhone X and iOS 11. Has accurate lab readings and is easy to use. Must have for all those in the field. ### 5/5 — 👍🏼 *2016-10-30* Very helpful and useful app. ### 5/5 — Good apps for daily work *2016-08-29* I suggest you provide all microbiological findings and their related cause. Also include the relevance of Blood Transfusion antibodies and the phenotypes. ### 5/5 — Love it *2016-04-07* I'm an RN and use this app regularly. It's just enough info in easy to understand language. ### 5/5 — Best lab reference app on iTunes *2016-03-17* Excellent medical reference app. UI is very sleek. One great feature is that I can add new labs or edit existing labs and add comments if I need. You can even add categories in the Lab Values section. I use this app almost daily in the hospital. Very powerful reference tool. The abbreviations and prefix/suffix sections are bonuses, but where this app really shines is the lab values section. ### 5/5 — M3 on clinical rotations *2016-03-05* Downloaded this after a classmate recommended it to me. Now that I'm well into my third year, I wish I had known about this app sooner as this app's features have been super helpful during my clinical rotations. The beautiful UI and the great customization options make this app my favorite among the other lab values apps I've tried. ### 5/5 — My Go-To Lab App *2016-03-01* I saw my friend using this during his rotations and he couldn't stop raving about it. I decided to check it out myself and it quickly became my go-to app. The super clean interface makes it easy to use. It's nice that I can use it on both my iPhone and iPad. ### 5/5 — My most useful app *2016-03-01* Been waiting for this update! Love the new design. One of my most useful reference apps throughout med school and now residency ### 5/5 — Great app for med students! *2016-03-01* Best lab app around, saved me throughout medical school! ### 5/5 — Get it! *2015-11-14, version 5.0.1* Awesome reference and it even gives excellent explanations of what each lab means. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
