The Merck Manual - Professional Edition

The app UI looks blownup and fuzzyblurry Apparently theyre taking the low resolution UI built for the iPhone 55S and just scaling it up to the iPhone 6 screen Looks terrible The app ought to be displayed at native resolution     Doesnt support high res iPhone 6 or 6

Three years now and Agile still has the best format for the Merck Thanks for keeping it current and beautiful                 Still the best

I use this app everyday during my clinical rotation a must have                 Simply the best

Nice job Keep going guys Woderful resource Tnx for update                 Nice

A much needed update The app now looks clean Its just the best medical content in mobile It would be a really cool addition to improve the search tool please add suggestions           Excellent App

Thank you Merck for making such a great textbook a must for any healthcare professional available for such a great price I have been been greatly dissapointed w the Skyscape company where my previously purchased Merck Manuel along w several other medical textbooks that I had purchased are now rendered inaccessable unless I choose to pay forever their membership fee                 Great product great price

I am a PA student and use this app often Valuable and easy to use I really like the random article function The app does need a bit of iOS 7 refresh though                 Great Reference

The only thing this app is missing to make it perfect until apple completely overhauls the operating system again would be 1 Typeaheadpredictive search 2 iCloud syncing of historyfavorites 5614 update everything in the app appears to have been updated to iOS 7 looks except the bottom bar in the iPad version bar with favorites share and index quick links Great job havent seen a walking dead marathon since I wrote this review but thought it serendipitous that the developers updated on the day I finished fundamentals of nursing This app was valuable for writing up pathology cards for clinicals this semester I imagine ill be referencing it some during pharmacology this summer as well Keep up the great work Old review Was inspired to write this review because of a hilarious convo I had with the developer It boils down to me requesting typeahead Reason I was watching a walking dead marathon on amc and was having trouble spelling hemorrhagic fever eating pizza at the time And was checking the etiology of it to see if Swine Flu produces hemorrhagic episodes from either the the mouth or eyes or any other orifices for that matter Needless to say this app is great for fact checking the show Needless to say I didnt look into it very long as the developercustomer support is extremely responsive I soon found myself and friends I was watching the marathon with reduced to tearful laughter as I read the convo out loud Everyone thought it was hilarious I was using the premier medical reference with over 300 contributors from the medical community for the purpose of differential diagnosis of zombies thanks Bradley definitely the hardest Ive laughed in awhile PS I did buy this app for the nursing program but have yet to use it in that context However its got applicability from bookmarking walking dead related diseases all the way to reading about EhlersDanlos syndrome family friends young child has this Thanks developers for the laughs and the great medical reference I see it saving me a huge amount of time Additionally its a more than viable reference when powers out just keep external battery packs laying around the house                 Differential Zombie DiagnosisFact checker

When I first seen the price I was definitely hesitant but I decided to give it a tryy anyway and I do not regret it any bit This is a must have app for ANYONE in the healthcare profession The amount of information presented is astonishing and worth every penny The random illness presented at the home screen is also a great touch As a combat medic in the army I find this an extremely useful resource when my provider is not available and also a great study tool                 merck is the truth

Great                 Perfect

Very useful easy to use and contains everything the real book contains An iPad version would be awesome instead of reading small or blurry text                 Great App but please make iPad version

I am an infectious diseases physician and since my medical school days have always found the Merck Manual to be the best and most concise medical reference In anticipation of a medical relief mission to Haiti last year I downloaded Merck Manual because I wanted a full medical reference that would not require an internet connection once on my iPhone This app proved invaluable the few times that I needed to read about some conditions and treatments that I was not familiar with and is an excellent general resource Besides use for medical students physicians in training and other health care workers I highly recommend it for anyone doing overseas relief work and needing an excellent medical reference                 Excellent app

iOS7 has been out for quite a while and the app still hasnt been updated for it The developers dont even have a web page anymore        Good but not updated for iOS7

Thank you so much for this app Great value for everyone involved in medicine                 Simply fantastic

There may be a lot of useful information in this app but it is so horrible to navigate The tables do not fit the screen It is formatted for a book not an app for your iphone If you shrink it to microscopic you may be able to seen most of the table but you wont be able to read it due to the size Additionally the sections are listed along the tops of tables making it impossible to track which column refers to which section when you scroll to the middle or bottom of the table For example looking up amoxicillin dosing a table comes up but you cannot tell which age group you are looking for without scrolling up and down the page slowly enough NOT to lose your place FRUSTRATING If you look for certain disease processes you will be referred to articles NOT what I expected at all for 35 I regret the purchase If you want a truly useful app for your medical practice get EPOCRATES an app subscription I use every single day and will make sure I always have access to it        eh

Fonts are too large and not optimized for screen on iPhone 6     Needs update for iPhone 6

Ive trusted the Merck Manual as a quick medical reference for 10 years Another reviewer correctly pointed out that info under the heading AIDS is missing but Ive been assured that an update is on the way Outside of that and issues with occasional crashing this is a good and useful app              Good with minor issues

This app has been very helpful despite the price being rather steep for a student to justify Tons of information available                 Love this app

Im a combat medic in the military and Ive found this app to be very helpful in times when equipment weight is a consideration Great app                 Very Handy

My best medical app till now Worth a penny                 I love this app and l lvu iPhone

It is a very good source of info but medical information is always updated andor new diagnoses this app needs to be updated as well              Solid but

This app is great for physicians medical students or just curious people It has a hefty price tag but its all worth it                 Fantastic

Pics or diagrams would help              Merckx

If you are looking to premium medical research aside to any of your case history problems Than you have found the one that is worth every single penny It is a wise investment Regardless of your medical skills You will win every time with this one Good Luck                 Healthcare Professional

This app used to work flawlessly and now it crashes every time I launch it As far as I can see theres no way to contact the developer otherwise I wouldve brought this problem to them directly My advice dont buy this app     New version crashes every time

Well what cant be said about the venerable Merck handy great memory jogger weighs on the average about a third of most major medical text The app works great except the search engine I was reading about Erythem Migrans and following links from one article to the next All of a sudden I needed to read about StevensJohnson Synd details Typed it in search report nothing found well I must have mispeled sp it copied and pasted into the search engine reports nothing found Go to the derm section peruse the BOLDED titles sure enough there it is but the search engine couldnt find this major topic Someone needs to either rework the search engine or change career fields Maybe they could put a dictionary together to help me spel                 The Merck ManualSearch engine

My earlier review belowwas before the 11 update This update is fantastic The ability to easily jump to subsections within the articles was a much needed tool and really makes this a first rate app I hope you update your screen shots to show this new feature Also the highlighting of search terms within articles makes it so much easier to find the information you want Thank you so much for this well laid out and information packed app Its a great value I am an RN and find this to be a very user friendly interface with indepth coverage of a variety of topics It is well laid out and easy to search offering you many ways to access and utilize the information Its true there are no outline hyperlinks to sections within topics but they are planning on adding that and have told me we do intend to make any updates we distribute free of charge But even without that feature it is still not difficult to find what you are looking for thanks to subject headers and good layout There are also links within topics to other related topics and charts Outline links will improve it but it certainly is very functional and not difficult to navigate the way it is Dont let that hold you back especially since upgrades will be free Unlike some competitors this version of the Merck Manual completely resides on your iPhoneiTouch and requires no Internet access To me this is a huge consideration It means I can access the information anywhere anytime I also like the ability to email a link to a page which allows you to email colleagues or patientsthe information on Mercks website Great value and great app Thanks                 Extensive information ALL on your iPhoneiTouch

This has exact same info as my college text I love having this in clinical without carrying around an actual textbook Tons of information                 Great Resource

It lacks some information and illustrative schemes For that price I could have had a better version than this Its not reliable to be used as a reference Please fix this        New update

thanks for your great appbut please add word search in appbecause some time user has a workbut havent no idea its for which section or organ thanks again                 Great Appbut please add more

I love this app n I am using it from 3 years But this update has a bugmany times when I search for something in explore the index option then nutrition topic opens upexample I look for HIV n in search results I hit on HIV n then nutrition chapter opens up This needs to ve fixed Thanks                 5 star app but this update has a bug

This is fantastic execution of textbook to application conversion It is so much easier to use a reference that is searchable rather than having to ruffle through a textbook not to mention the environmental benefits I hope to see some functionality improvements such as being able to search text within an article in the future but otherwise an ideal reference application                 Excellent reference

If you like the Merck then you will like this Not sure if will get content updates but its nice to have handy                 Its the Merck

This is one of the few apps that looks beautiful on the iPad I had it installed on my iPhone but didnt open it often during clinicals or school just because I thought the navigation was impossible to deal with on a small screen the scrolling over for charts the tiny font etc I ported it over when I bought an iPad and now I open it up all the time Its written more in book format but I especially appreciate the navigation now its great and very intuitive I do wish there were more interactive features for the price more drawingsimages sounds so Im giving it 4 stars But its great as a reference tool and I recommend it              Using it as a nursing student IPad update is fantastic

I use this app everyday and I like the UI very much Thanks for making such an awesome app                 My favorite medical app just got better

I find it most heplful and very informative                 Merck manuel

Solid app Accessible and usable True it isnt the 3000 pg Harrisons but nobody has an app like that This is great for a solid review of topics pathophys and etiology I recommend                 Solid and worth the money

As a SOF army medic space is a premium when I deploy This app is perfect on my iPad Great interface information and general ease of use Can you please make a Tabers too                 Great app

Just get the Skyscape for 49 Agile wants to charge you for the entire app just to get display updates No doubt they will do it again and the 11 still will not display horizontally     Dont do it

One of the best apps                 Fantastic

I use this as a reference to my CPC Also helps me find a diagnosis during history taking              Helps a lot

If you like the Merck Manual youll definitely like this app I use it on a regular basis Its well worth the 30 to have the Merck with you at all times                 Great app

There are only 2 font sizes The large font is still small Some images are hard to see or read Please add zoom in zoom out This app has potential to be the best app for medical profession              Needed more features
