Would get 4 stars if that was fixed. ### 4/5 — Very useful but audio went away *2018-09-03* It was very useful but I used it near a Bluetooth device and the audio stopped working. Can’t get it back ### 4/5 — Overall happy with the app *2014-04-13* I work for a veterinarian and want to learn as much spanish as I can and apply it to work everyday. The majority of this app transfers well to the vet world for anyone in a similar situation. I use this app in conjunction with my "Spanish for Veterinarians" book and between the two a considerable amount of info if covered. My only complaint is that for the price I wish there was more information. For a 5.99 app I expected there to be more sections and more translations than there are, however this app is filled with tons of useful phrases and I'm happy with it. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to learn spanish in the vet or human medicine fields. ### 3/5 — Good app, mostly good update *2013-12-18, version 3.0* I really like this app for quick reference! The new update finally updates the screen size for the iPhone 5 and makes everything retina-sharp. It's a great update for the iPhone. Unfortunately, on my new iPad Air the app pauses for about 10 seconds on the red speech bubble screen and then crashes. ### 4/5 — Very Helpful. *2013-06-10, version 2.3* This app is great. It has just about all the question I would need to ask a patient. Now all I need is an app that will translate the patients response from Spanish to English. :) ### 4/5 — No audio solution! *2012-01-09, version 2.3* Just have to turn on the switch on the side for the alerts (image of a bell) ### 3/5 — No sound *2011-12-08, version 2.3* Audio is not working, and I can't seem to find a support area. When you click on their "provided support link" it takes you to their website, but then does not offer you any support! Maybe it's b/c I have an iphone 4S? I don't know. Be wary if interested in purchasing this app. ### 3/5 — Translator not teacher *2011-07-04, version 2.3* Large selection of phrases, but is more likely to be useful as a translator sub rather than a teaching aid. Speech is too fast for me to use as a self teaching aid which was the original intent. ### 2/5 — Audio? *2011-06-27* The audio does not work, slightly disappointed ### 4/5 — major bug *2011-05-28, version 2.3* just bought this app and the audio does not work for my ipad1. Unless you know how to pronounce spanish as written in spanish this app is totally useless. If the developer emails back with a fix I will write a new review, otherwise I would not recommend this app for ipad users. they have provided a fix and now the audio works, so i have updated my rating ### 5/5 — All you need *2011-02-27, version 2.3* Have you ever got stuck trying to give a patient an instruction how to take a medication? Been there and the interpreter is already off the phone. Just take out your iPhone and use medical Spanish to convey your message in seconds in audio. Simply the best. Highly recommended. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No audio *2022-10-14* I bought it because I wanted to hear his the words are pronounced. But there’s no audio. Save the money and learn via google translate. ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work *2021-03-24* No sound. Cannot use. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — no audio at alll *2020-05-05* you mentioned audio but it is not there,,, bad ### 1/5 — Ned Spanish *2016-09-21* The phrases won't play out of my iPhone speaker ### 1/5 — Not working *2016-01-31* After initially working fine, the app no longer plays the phrases through my iPhone speaker. The app support page is useless. ### 1/5 — El presidente *2014-02-16, version 3.0* Crap app ### 1/5 — Very Limited Application *2012-02-23, version 2.3* Should have read the reviews. Was looking for something that would help in the pre-op, anesthesia, and post-op areas. Very limited application. Definitely NOT worth $5.99. ### 1/5 — No Audio *2011-12-14, version 2.3* Just purchased this APP and re-downloaded it but no matter what I do there is no audio!!! Extremely disappointed. Not sure who to contact to fix the problem. Would not recommend this App to anyone. ### 1/5 — Not worth your money! *2010-09-18, version 0* Argh, cant believe I just wasted my money. This is not user friendly, I cannot get the audio to load, do I need wifi to use this???? No bueno :( ### 2/5 — Room for improvement *2018-01-09* Decent app owever I dislike the apps input of names in to phrases so when talking to a patient It uses multiple different names as an introductions : would be better if the caregiver names were removed because my name is not “Sita “ but according to the app it’s one of my many names it says to the patient ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Such a useful app for work abroad *2023-04-20* I don’t know why this has only one star, I’ve used it lots for work and for play. Really helpful for getting or giving a medical history in Spanish speaking countries. Recommended👍 ### 5/5 — Best thing I bought in the apple store, after ultimate guitar lol *2016-09-10, version 3.1.1* I am so happy with this. I was about to buy a book or a cd on Amazon, but this will come in handy. It has all the basics that I need. And even has a conjugation part :) it's cheap and worth it!!!! ### 5/5 — Excellent psychiatric content *2013-04-14* I am a psychiatrist and this is the best content I have seen for psychiatric Spanish including apps and books. This app includes a separate section for the mental status exam in addition to the psychiatric section which is pretty extensive. It also has a section on directions on how to take medications. Most medical Spanish apps or book's psychiatry section is pretty basic; mostly intended for the use by a primary care provider but I found this content specific and thorough enough for a psychiatrist needs. Only problem I have is I don't know enough Spanish yet to be able to understand a patient's response to a question lol. I mostly use the app to try to follow along with the interpreter during the interview or help my Spanish translators that may not be familiar with some psychiatric terms/vocabulary. But I'm learning! It would be helpful if it included a dictionary or verb conjugator so when you click on a word you could learn. So unfortunately this app is definitely not for a beginner. ### 5/5 — Great app *2012-08-20, version 2.3* This app is excellent. The audio is really good, you can set a list for studying and it is comprehensive. I have several medical Spanish apps and this is the best. ### 5/5 — Great app!!!! I love it *2012-05-06, version 2.3* This is the most commonly used medical app I have. I give this app 5 stars for its ease of use, its breadth, and well organized sections allowing me the ability to obtain any phrase in seconds. ### 5/5 — Great app *2012-01-03, version 2.3* Cool app! It's so awesome! ### 5/5 — Great app for most medical dept *2011-11-28, version 2.3* Love this app. It does it's job and great audio. Fits most medical personnel ### 5/5 — excellent *2011-09-01, version 2.3* I've used this app in the field, and found it very useful and well-put-together. ### 5/5 — Great app *2011-06-03, version 2.3* I am a nurse,work in labor and delivery,90% of our patients speak spanish,this app has saved my butt many days during admission and the labor process.There are many different areas broken down which can be starred specifically in the area you need.No regrets here. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2011-03-04, version 2.3* I just downloaded the app and I think that it is fantastic. I work in Radiology and the phrases they provide are exact and accurate, ones that I use everyday. I can not wait to get to work and try it out. The only drawback is that I wish I could slow down the speakers speech rate - it seems so fast to me. I am sure with time, I will be able instruct and understand my patients better. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
