But do you mind upgrade it the resolution for iPhone 6 and 6 plus? Thank you very much! ### 4/5 — Useful *2014-11-22* I find it helpful but could Do with more. And having references and brief epidemiology would make it 5*s ### 4/5 — It is good bit not excellent *2013-07-16, version 17* I would say that if they have more explanation and more mnemonics this app will be amazing! Hopefully next version will have more stuff for medical students not only nurses. Good idea though. ### 5/5 — Great *2013-05-23* Great app, perfect for premed and med students ### 5/5 — LVN *2013-05-12, version 17* Gifting this to my son as its great for students ### 5/5 — Excellent resource! *2013-04-06, version 17* Best resource for medical information memory tricks. A mainstay tool. Thank you! ### 4/5 — Great app! *2013-04-03* good way to refresh one's memory ### 5/5 — Med Mnomics *2013-04-01, version 17* Excellent app! ### 5/5 — Get It! *2013-03-29, version 17* A complete life saver. Especially the filter that divides what you are working on learning at the moment. ### 5/5 — Great app *2013-03-18, version 17* Many relevant mnemonics to help nursing students grasp the material when trying to decipher variables of similar illnesses' ### 5/5 — Love It, Use It All The Time *2013-02-17* My only complaint is that if I add my own mnemonic, it isn't applied across devices and so I have to enter my personal mnemonics twice and sometimes on different days in different locations depending if I have my iPad with me or not. I have trouble formatting my mnemonics, though, I don't know if that is just me. ### 5/5 — MD *2013-02-14, version 17* It's always good to have it!!! The best of luck to all. ### 5/5 — Lpn *2013-01-30, version 16* Great tool study with I definitely recommend . ### 5/5 — 内容非常有用，the content is great *2013-01-30* 如果帮助记忆可以再加上图就更好了， it's great if add picture. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2013-01-29, version 16* Simple interface but lots of great info!

It has lots and lots of mnemonics, but I am not sure how memorable they are! ### 2/5 — Kharel *2013-02-03* Good but need to change themes and insert image. ### 2/5 — Vague *2012-06-21, version 15* Better than nothing but not very detailed. ### 3/5 — Neat! *2012-08-05, version 16* It is worth the buy for a lot of info ### 3/5 — Emt *2012-03-03* Useful ### 3/5 — Louisa *2012-03-01* Great reference - just need to watch the US/UK spellings! ### 3/5 — Medical pneumonics *2010-10-26* Great little app . Really useful for revision . ### 3/5 — Mnomics *2010-09-15* Very useful to me ### 3/5 — Worth it despite some issues *2010-05-17* This has been a great program for me and I would recommend it to any med student who learns via mnemonics. There are a couple of issues that have arisen with my program. First, I have lost the ability to search within my favorites but I still can overall. Second, there ought to be the ability to bold and italicize. ### 3/5 — Great app for the price, has real potential to become MUCH better (are you listening dev?) *2009-09-18* You are luckier than me, it's @ present being offered for 99c which is a steal IMHO after using the app for a week or so now. Now, if you're an aspiring med student or beginning school you may not realise it yet but mnemonics are not an 'optional' or 'alternative' style of retaining the medical knowledge you learn. With the vast amount of knowledge you will be taking in during your entire medical career, there are bound to be a few things that won't stick over time for personal reasons or maybe the knowledge just doesn't lend itself to applied thought..whatever the cause you can use this app to make sure it sticks. Pros: I feel the app has a good variety of mnemonics (as I've seen plenty online and there were some new ones here),easy accessibility to them, and fast personal entry to store one's own. Here are the Cons that are Potential winners if the developer can get these in an updated revision: 1) Allow for a central server where a personal menomic can be shared (make sharing a personal option of end-user) and rated by entire app owning community in real-time. I know this must be hard as it will have to be slotted in category etc etc but waiting for an update is too long a wait. If not this -then at least a web site where we can see users who put in mnemonics so we can do the ol' copy/paste method. I think rating is a MUST & will be an important and efficient way to separate the cream from the milk 2) Create in-app links( and option to enter site addresses within the app) to sites that host Medical menmonics there are tons of great sites where we can acquire more mnemonics to add to collection 3)Possibly a separate tips addition page in the app so noobs&experienced alike can get good, fresh ideas on how to create more efficient mnemonics. If anyone is new to this..which I doubt..here's a few practical tips in creating your own mnemonics: The more bizarre a mnemonic, the easier to remember, try to make it a colorful, wacky story, feel free to use all sorts of personal interests, innuendos and apply in creating your own mnemonic. Try to link each item to another with distinct connections (again crazier-better). Use vivid imagery. As a last option you can also use acronyms that expand causes ie HEART -various heart diseases but try and make them relevant..but remember Crazy vivid story beats logical acronym any day... Hope you get the idea.. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good Content, Simple Terminology. *2025-03-30* Very helpful content, can go through it and understand the content in simple terms, no conjecture, content is on point. ### 5/5 — Not pretty but sooooo useful *2024-06-04, version 20* This app looks like it was made for iOS 7- because it was! The content is so great. I do wish I could export their content also. The mnemonics are worth the $3 fee. ### 5/5 — Great app, functions well *2016-11-23* Contains a wealth of mnemonics. I've been using this alongside my board prep qbanks to look up useful mnemonics. It would be nice if the database was updated periodically with new content. ### 5/5 — Handy for medical/nursing students *2015-06-21* A handy app to help medical, nursing and other health students when studying for exams. It is also helpful once qualified to remember those pesky pieces of information needed for your work. It is most helpful for people who use mnemonics for learning in other areas of study but is also handy to try if you don't. ### 5/5 — Thank *2014-01-19, version 17* You ### 5/5 — Great for study sessions *2013-09-16, version 17* I often jot down the mnemonic on my scratch paper at test time. And I teach my study groups these helpful hints. I totally love this app! ### 5/5 — Great for med students *2013-08-19* Fantastic app. Lets you add your own memory aids. I am looking forward to updates mnemonics ### 5/5 — Mnemonic *2013-06-17, version 17* Great app for the medical student. ### 5/5 — 4.5 Stars *2013-06-05* This is the best one location scource for medical mnemonics that Ive found to date at the apple site. There is a favorites tagging, and you can edit a mnemonic if its not exactly to your liking, a big plus for personalizing entries and if you know of a mnemonic not in the app you can enter your own. The negatives, cant save your modified or personal entries. And this app has the irritating habit of occasionally opening up with nothing but a blank WHITE screen easily fixed by closing the app, going to the desk top and opening it from there. Minor in my mind and Im quite glad to have the app and not have to enter ever single app I find on the internet. ### 5/5 — It's got mnemonics! *2013-05-30, version 17* And you can add your own too --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
