Pros and cons of MedRef app for iPhone and iPad

MedRef app good for

This application is great... easy to use and worth the download. Seems like he is open to feedback and will be updating this soon to support canadian units throught the program. Great program.
Great and very useful for med students except would be nice to have the lab values in Canadian units too!
Good app so far. Id like to see value norms for different age groups and pregnant women. One day Id like to maybe even see implications for certain abnormal values. Keep up the good work.
I love this application. As a student my mind draws a blank when having to write in patient charts. The notes section is a great reminder on what to include in the chart, I use the notes section daily.
Ive been using this for several weeks. It is fast and easy to use and has so much reference material right at my fingertips. I sent Eric some suggestions of other clinical findings that I could use and he responded very quickly that he would add them. How cool is that? I see other people put suggestions in their reviews and I would not be surprised to see that he has added them to the next release, which should be out in a few weeks.
...always room for improvement. This app will replace my Maxwell which means one less thing in my pockets. A few additions that would be worthwhile: pediatric averages for age (weight, height etc.), opioid equivalents, a visual pain scale, and an immunization schedule to name a few. Overall, an excellent value! Keep up the good work.

Some bad moments

You dont get a lot with this program. You basically get what you see in the sample plus minimally more. I cant believe I paid for this.
How do I get a refund on this app? Just downloaded and the thing wont even open. Absolute waste. Only giving 1 star because I cant give anything less
Information is straightforward, easy to use, and concise but not worth the money. Skyscape is free and is better. Wish I could get my dollar back
Total waste of .99 c. I downloaded and immediately erased. Total reference Subjects is 23, half are usless in my opinion.
I have used this app many times in the past and found it quite valuable for my practice. Now the app crashes and wont open it is useless it doesnt work and its really bummed me out
Just downloaded this app, cant use it at all because it wont open.
