### 4/5 — The APP will  stop working once i look up the words

*2023-08-12, version 1.5*

The APP will  stop working once i look up the words by system dictionariy.

### 3/5 — To input the sign and symptoms would be very useful.

*2020-10-01*

The app is good if you know what is wrong, but especially with goats it could be a number of different diseases. If you had the ability to input the signs and symptoms, then your app narrowed the list down, this would be such a fantastic useful tool to have. Thank you.

### 3/5 — Cost

*2018-08-02*

Buyer BEWARE.
 You will be charged for this app, problem is I did not see this information anywhere before I downloaded and now I can not find out if it is a “one off” charge or a monthly charge.

### 5/5 — Very Handy!

*2014-05-26*

I am a fourth year vet student (soon to be intern) and this app is fantastic- to have this much information in my pocket with me at all times is invaluable.
I have often found myself trying to look up diseases via my iPhone or iPad while on site or at Uni but struggle to find concise and reliable information, especially if data reception is sporadic.
I would definitely recommend this app to any person working with livestock.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2014-05-07*

This app is great! Very useful and well set out

### 5/5 — Comprehensive

*2014-05-07*

This handbook is easy to use and provides a ton of useful information for vets working with livestock.
