Pros and cons of Merck Manual Professional app for iPhone and iPad

Merck Manual Professional app good for

Great app. Full version of the Merck Manual including pics, tables and graphs. Doesnt need wifi to access so you can easily reference ward issues or differential diagnoses on the fly. Very stable and can browse by system, symptom or search for a term. The only thing I would want is landscape support to view tables a little easier. Maybe an update can help? Otherwise, 5 stars!
This is a very handy little app, especially for the med student in clinical placements. Its a complete version of Merck, so no need for wifi, just pull up the app and search for what you need. Landscape view would be really nice as there are times when it would bemich easier to view the material in that format. For a market starved for real, high quality medical texts at a reasonable price this is a very welcome addition.
Easily one of the best medical apps out there. An absolute must for any student in medicine. The level of detail on a very wide range of topics rivals any textbook. A lifeline in clinical placement. I have purchased numerous apps but rely 90 percent on this one!
This has got to be the best medical app available for much lower cost than the other ones. This is a must have for the clinician.
Great app for anyone in the medical profession. Hours and hours of information on here. Still trying to find out how to see pictures, hence why the app is not 5 stars.
Fantastic interface, constantly improving. Great that content is accessible without an Internet connection.

Some bad moments

Terrible app! Skyscape and medscape are much better and are FREE! The user interface needs work and the basic search and indexing often doesnt work. Not cool when Im trying to look something up quickly in an emergency. I wasted my money on this.
Stuck on the app loading screen, it keeps trying to download something after I hit accept and doesnt finish. Tried on wifi and LTE data. No luck.
After trying multiple times, the app is unable to load to 100% and gets stuck at 85% which make the app useless.
I am not sure what developers have done, but as other users have found try to download and gets stuck at 85%. I am deleting this app. Shame because last version had good content.
The new version of merck manual pro unusable as the content cannot be downloaded
This app WAS a 5 star. I really miss the alphabetized list I could just quickly jump to what i wanted. Sifting down through long menus is ridiculous, especially as not everything fits it a simple specific category. The search is about the only way to find something quickly now, however, sometimes its hard to remember the exact spelling of those rare exotically named conditions. This really should have been evaluated by healthcare professionals before messing up a once great and useful app. I would no longer recommend anyone spend money on this app.
