User reviews

Very Informative

This is a great app full of useful information. I really enjoy the quiz feature!

Interesting and informative app!

My father recently came down with a hand infection as a result of a nasty cat bite, and I was able to easily use the app to understand the doctors' diagnosis.

Nice Update

New content is a helpful addition covering a few of the helminths and less common bugs that were left out before. Def the best med micro app I've found so far. Font size could be a little bigger tho.

Great app!

Awesome app :)

Indispensable!

Having this locally available at all times has been amazingly convenient!
