### 4/5 — It's got what I need

*2012-09-14*

If you want the full version - buy the full version, and E. Coli (the proper form) is in the full version, for those who care. I'm sure it needs more then what I've used so far, but do far so good.

### 1/5 — Eeewwww eeww eeww

*2012-01-09*

So stupid, horrible voice, useless. These few bacterias can easily be checked in google or wikipedia without having to get this app.

### 1/5 — Very limited

*2011-11-07*

It has pronunciation of very few terms (about 50 or so) terms. Much of the important terms are absent. Not worth the download.

### 3/5 — Ça va

*2011-02-22*

.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2010-10-20*

Stupid app and stupid voice. Handful easy ones even school children could have done better

### 1/5 — Awful!

*2010-01-12*

Has only a handful of bacteria, the links to google and wikipedia do not work(keeps saying page not found) and the app asks you if you want to " use your current location every time you load a new page! Absolutely usless!

### 3/5 — eh

*2010-01-03*

This is an okay app. but seriously...what kind of microbiology app doesn't have E.coli, Staph, or Strep in it?

### 1/5 — Junk!

*2009-09-01*

One word for this app... JUNK!

### 1/5 — Non sense

*2009-06-19*

What a crap. Stupid elemental application.
