Pros and cons of Medical Abbreviations app for iPhone and iPad
Medical Abbreviations app good for
Nice app, easily worth the 99 cents. Search feature is useful. Can the next update distinguish Joint Commission approved from unapproved abbreviations?
Great program for 99 cents but I think links to wikipedia would help
Great program and well worth the price. But would be even better if it had links to wikipedia.
Where are the links to describe?? Wikipedia links would be excellent. Other than that its got a long list of mesicsl term which is good. For this price what can you expect I guess huh?
The only problem i have is it is missing a few key abbreviations and i wish it categorized the abbreviations so it would be easier to find.
App is useful but the search function does not work. When you hit search nothing at all happens. You are forced to use the index letters and a lot of scrolling.
!!! - UPDATE - !!!
Upgraded rating. Search began working after I rebooted my iPhone.
Some bad moments
But I need more for PHYSICAL THERAPY/ORTHOPEDICS terms... wish u can add..
Great app for the price. Large variety off abreviations and definitions. It would be nice to be able to mark the definition that im interested in. Also it would be nice to enter a definition and be able to look up the abreviation.
The app crashes every time the right pane (a quick link to specific letter in the alphabet) is used. The listing is far too comprehensive to use without its use. It renders the app far less useful.
I would have given this app 5 stars before the last update. Since then, this app crashes every time you select a letter on the right side, and Ive been waiting on a fix for a very long time. So, for now, Im giving this app 2 stars, because its basically useless to me at this point.
