Helped out a lot!!!! ### 5/5 — Great App!!! *2011-10-18, version 1.5* Awesome travel app with clear, sound, medical advice.

Very practical. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Excellent!!!! *2010-09-16, version 0* Very well written and easy to quickly navigate. I have the book but this saves space in my backpack. ### 5/5 — Travel Health *2010-06-21, version 0* This is a superb app - so useful to read before you travel to help prepare and an excellent resource to carry on your journey to advise and support if you experience any health problems! Great to seek advice 6-8 weeks before you travel from your GP practice or travel clinic but this app will provide the additional advice that you may not have taken in or been given at that time. ### 4/5 — wish I had this app when I got dengue *2010-06-09, version 0* I wish I had this when I got Dengue, instead of thinking it was the measles! But seriously, it is pretty impressive stuff and laid out nicely ### 5/5 — Fantastic App! *2010-05-21, version 0* Very useful...use it regularly, even when I'm not travelling! ### 4/5 — Good info *2010-05-16, version 0* The information provided were on basic health problems and was very informative but it's not worth the money ### 5/5 — Awesome *2010-05-14, version 0* This app contains heaps of good info and very helpful and useful! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update Failure *2015-09-01, version 2* The latest update has rendered this app unusable. All that loads is a white page with Master, Detail & Edit. No information is accessible. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Everything is missing *2015-08-29, version 2* Since the last update all the info has gone loads with a blank screen. Please correct as a matter of urgency I use this app all the time ### 3/5 — Helpful for Extended World Travel *2019-07-06, version 2.4* Happy to have this app. But last update was more than two years ago. Could perhaps use a thorough up-date now. ### 3/5 — Not for iPad *2014-03-22, version 1.6* This may be a helpful app for travellers, but should not sold for iPad. It is designed for iPhone and sold as such. No Landscape mode. Images are out of whack on iPad due to different screen ratio from iPhone. ### 3/5 — Could be better *2013-09-02* General info is ok but needs to be better organized and more info. I was looking for info on jellyfish sting and found jellyfish but all it said was dizziness . I did find more after digging through other headings. With as long as that took I could have googled it so what time did the app save me? Does have some good general info just needs more. ### 3/5 — Ok but no updates *2013-08-03* This is a decent reference but I question it being current . I haven't seen an update in a long time. ### 3/5 — Update *2011-07-27, version 1.4* Make it compatible with the ipad please ### 3/5 — Beh *2010-09-03, version 0* Not really a 'blew me away' app. Only handy when traveling and you have an essential requirement to use it. ### 3/5 — Needs improvement *2010-03-04* The information presented in this app is good. Easy to read and accurate. I rated it a 3 for its mediocre design and lack of information on anything cardiac-related such as chest pain, palpitations. The search feature is lacking and has much room for improvement. Many symptoms are missing and you cannot search for a drug. It would be nice to see the categories alphabetized or listed in a "head to toe" fashion. I really disliked the pop-up "STOP" window when opening some categories. I found it irritating and think the information could be placed in the beginning of the description. The drug reference table here is excellent. It's the best part of the app. The information is concise and the tabbed design is easy to use. The developer will need to make some major changes to make this app worth the full price of $7.99. ### 4/5 — Essential App *2013-09-25* I bought this app specifically because it does not need an internet connection, all the information is stored locally. It's perfect for traveling, in my case I cruise a lot so I like to be prepared with an all inclusive first aid kit and this app provided good information, especially which drugs were essential. I did not give it five stars simply because it does not look good. On my iPad the main page is squashed to fit on the page. Hopefully it will get fixed. Looks aren't everything, I highly recommend this app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best travel resource you can take *2024-03-29, version 2.5* The concise and accurate advice in this travel medicine book helped our family many times while travelling in Australia and various countries in SE Asia. It is one of my travel essentials, including a really comprehensive travel medicine kit. ### 5/5 — Saved me multiple times in India. *2017-11-25, version 2.4* Saved me from tricky predicaments multiple times in India. Great practical app for working out what antibiotics to buy at the local Indian pharmacy for the symptoms you have. Great step by step treatment guidelines. Fantastic! Thanks so much Dr Deb. ### 5/5 — A Great Practical App *2015-09-05, version 2.1* Hooray. Thanks for the bug fix. This App is now great again. I spend 10 months of the year traveling the world, and I can assure you this App is worthy of a top rating for its content and being well organized. When the chips are down and you are ill, this app will be your best friend. ### 5/5 — Great app *2013-04-07, version 1.6* A great app from a small, independent travel health service. Better than anything from Australia's largest. Hooray for small business in Australia! ### 5/5 — Wonderful travel app *2013-01-13, version 1.5* Very useful app for those traveling anywhere, but particularly on out of the way places. I have the book but will now just travel with the app. Even my local GP uses it for travel! ### 5/5 — Very comprehensive travel app! *2012-11-11, version 1.5* I feel confident now that, if anything were to affect my health in Africa, this app will guide me through what to do! ### 5/5 — Don't leave home without it! *2012-11-05, version 1.5* Passport? Check. Credit cards? Check. Power adapters? Check. Roaming SIM card? Check. This app? A must! ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2012-06-25* This app was essential on a recent trip to remote Africa when most members of a 16 person team became ill. In a place where there was no other medical care and the locals advised us the hospital was only a place to die, this app was exactly what I needed! ### 5/5 — Excellent Guide *2012-05-11, version 1.5* This app version of the book is the perfect travel companion . It gives good practical and concise advice. ### 5/5 — Practical *2011-12-02, version 1.5* This is the most practical and effective travelling reference I've ever come across. I travel a lot, and it's helped me out more than once. Don't leave home without it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
