### 1/5 — Nonfunctional

*2023-05-28*

App does not respond. It’s like it’s perpetually crashing. Waste of money.

### 1/5 — Kindle version is better

*2022-01-27, version 01.01.01*

You can’t highlight, add notes, or enlarge tables

### 1/5 — I can’t download the book ?

*2020-12-13, version 01.01.01*

Can anyone tell me how ? i paid fo it ? And it show a massage include “can’t valid your purchase “? How about the money you take it off ? It’s 45$ !!!!

### 5/5 — Better than original

*2020-07-28, version 01.00.01*

Same info.  Easier to search.  Easier to read.   The best just got better.   Clearly those who gave low ratings didn’t actually open the app.  My eyes are getting old and I’m sick of carrying a million books so thank goodness for these phone apps!!!

### 5/5 — Excellent as always

*2020-07-14, version 01.00.01*

App is absolutely user friendly. Easy to navigate during busy rounding day to review any topic in few minutes. With ‘favorites’ option, you can easily go back to frequently visited topics. Content is excellent as always. The best resource for inpatient practice and a must during medical school and residency. Absolutely better than Kindle version. 
Few suggestions:
search option takes up top third space. 
Kindle version has the option to highlight content and open tables separately.. still this app is more user friendly.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t download

*2020-07-12, version 01.00.01*

$45 and doesn’t even download !

### 1/5 — Can’t view book after purchase

*2020-05-17, version 01.00.01*

I was excited to see this available in an app format. I successfully downloaded the app and purchased the book at full price. Unfortunately, I kept getting an error message and the book won’t open on my app. It’s disappointing to not be able to use my purchase. If it does start working, I imagine the search speed will be slow.

### 1/5 — $45 for access with no free trial or sample.

*2020-02-02, version 01.00.01*

Pocket medicine is a fantastic resource for internal medicine.  I own the 7th edition book and was excited to see an app.  However, The user experience is critical with these sorts of things.    Many e-book type apps are terrible.  Especially those created by book publishers.  Therefore, I will not pay unless I am able to see how the use interface works. Is it intuitive, searchable, and quick to navigate? These are questions that I want to judge for myself prior to purchasing.  Until then...
