Fantastic app for med students!

Great quick reference for those in med school and out on rotations. Would like to see more info about Influenza virus though.

Response from developer

Glad you like it! Thanks for the feedback - expect an update to the influenza virus in the next few days. You can use the Options button (home screen, top right) to check for data updates. For future data update requests, you can also use the Suggest Change button (within Options when you are on a specific bug). We're certainly listening and hoping more students will help refine the data further with time!
