Helps me to understand
Going through several procedures for rare disorders is a little easier to take because I can read here in the Merck Manual at my leisure and in a study mode.
Clear, authoritative, Medical. No Ads.
Unlike WebMD and many other apps and websites
Crashes constantly
I wanted to like this app, but when searching for things, it crashes. EVERYTIME. Please fix so I can give a higher rating.
Crashes when in search
Keeps crashing in search. App is up to date.
Search for the word “Flea“
Search for the word “Flea“ causes both the consumer and professional versions to crash. Same search in the veterinary version brings articles with the word in it. By“Crash“ I mean that the search inside the application aborts and control is returned to the previous screen before the application started.
Review
Excellent application
Intuitive Searches
Would appreciate a more intuitive approach to queries that may not point directly to some content. i.e. “Bone Spur” goes nowhere.
