### 5/5 — Good learning, easy/fun to use

*2024-04-25*

Easy, fast, works well. Option to randomly practice/quiz/learn with old images, or sort by newest and just keep up with new ones.

### 3/5 — Bonne appli mais interface désuète

*2022-12-30*

Bonne application dans l'ensemble, avec beaucoup d'iconogaphies inédites, en anglais uniquement, cependant l'interface est très vieillote et mérite d'être mise à jour, surtout pour le prix payé.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2020-07-08*

Could you please update the app, so it will be possible to save most interesting and complex cases in a different folder. Thank you so much

### 3/5 — Ok

*2017-02-05*

Many interesting cases, but could include a brief report on the disease.

### 5/5 — great app

*2016-12-23*

great for semiology practice

### 1/5 — medical student

*2014-07-08*

this app is listed as “compatible with … iPad” but this is not the case.  When attempting to report a problem, the “item cannot be found”

looks like a great app, and should work on either iPhone or iPad, but .. it’s not the case.  Great idea poorly executed - save your money.

### 1/5 — THIS VERSION DOES NOT SYNC

*2014-05-07*

Please fix!

### 1/5 — Absolute waste of money

*2014-04-24*

Bought the app but the images never load, waste of money :/ running iphone 5 on ios7

### 1/5 — Not updated

*2013-10-25*

This app does not fill the screen on a new iPhone.

It doesn't give you the same information as the website with the correct answer.

Could be useful If there was a tally of what you had got right.

### 1/5 — No support

*2013-06-08*

Low res, no iPhone 5 support.
