No MSK section.

I hope I can get an update with MSK section!

Fab reference

This is an excellent app. All the components of a good and thorough exam are here. It’s a great way to get organized, and to reference special tests that aren’t used everyday. Excellent bang for the buck. The previous 1 star review is bogus.

Ottima idea di partenza, ma scarno di contenuti

Buona idea, ottima grafica, ma servono molti più contenuti..
Da aggiornare

Disappointment

Really insufficient and has a bad design. Totally not as good as Murmur Pro or Lab Values+. I am dissappointed.

Good app

It is a very good and useful app, but it lacks one feature - ability to change a font size. My eyes are sore, even reading from iPad Pro 10,5”. That’s why I gave only 3 stars
