Concise Medical Dictionary by Dr. Joseph Segen
This app was difficult bec it would cover up the word you were trying to type into the search field, and change it to something you were not wanting to type. But the whole time the letters were covered up so you did not know it had changed until too late! Very frustrating. I would also put in a word to search and it would not find it, but then later when scrolling through something else I would find the word! So the search is not very good. Not worth the money.

Runs very poorly on my iTouch. Terms I would expect to find are not present. When the program redirects from term A to term B, there is no hypertext link and term B must be typed in its entirety. Often the program redirects to a term which it then cannot find.
Buyer beware
I dont like it at all. it is not user friendly and I would like to return it for my money back.
Dictionary??? No way!!!
Dont waste your money! Doesnt recognize simple medical jargon on test results. Would like refund.
Dont even bother.
Dont waste your money, doesnt even have basic terminologies. Id demand a refund if it were possible.
