### 2/5 — Only  Few words, not enough for study

*2014-09-25, version 4.0*

As a vet student, I was hoping this app can cover most of the common bacteria, it doesn't really cover like a third of them we discussed in class... Not recommended.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2014-03-23, version 3.1*

The audio does not work as noted by other reviewers. I alerted the app developers and will update my review if this is repaired.

### 5/5 — Bad reviews hold no water

*2013-09-01, version 3.1*

Yeah works fine for me! iPhone 4 I suggested some new words. Hope you guys get them in soon. Good app.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2013-06-16, version 3.1*

I think people just like to complain!  Downloaded app and works perfect right out of the gate!  This is a great app for me being a first year medical student.

### 1/5 — WARNING

*2012-11-02, version 3.1*

This app is horrible!!! It says it speaks the terms for you, but it doesn't. Don't waste your money like I did.

### 3/5 — No audio

*2012-08-05, version 3.1*

I purchased and can not hear a thing when tapping on the play icon! Is this the app not working? Yes my volume is up... Is there a setting or update?

### 1/5 — Worst app I have ever bought

*2012-05-01, version 3.1*

Save your money this is garbage

### 5/5 — Thanks!

*2012-03-05, version 3.1*

Been waiting for this update. Glad that the developers listened to suggestions!

### 4/5 — It does it's job

*2011-09-24, version 3.0*

Works great all around, just wish it was for the iPad rather then the iPhone.

### 2/5 — Sound doesn't work !

*2011-08-01, version 3.0*

The sound doesn't work and the new updates with ads are a bother
