Very happy to have discovered thi d app

I’m currently going through another change in my medication as I’m told by my consultant they suspect I have a further addition to my long line of previously diagnosed chronic conditions. Removing some meds and changing others in the hope of ruling out the confusion over whether the problem is a side effect of my meds or a different problem altogether is confusing for me, so to help keep me informed about my treatment my consultant, the very kind, patient and extremely professional man who has been looking after my health for almost 20 yrs now, writes notes for me about the things I might like to read about at home, along with reputable reference sources.

I asked him if this was a further source of good information and he looked into it and told me that it was, and that he will add it to the list of reference info he offers to his other patients in a similar position to me.

The only thing I’d like the developer to add is the option of a paid for, ad-free version… however, the ads that are there are noticeable when they appear in a band across the bottom of the screen, but almost immediately seem to disappear into the peripheral vision.

I’m very happy I found this app, but please, seriously, don’t allow the app to beg for 5* feedback every time I open it as it is the fastest way to get me to delete an app – no matter how good the app is.

Great app

Absolutely amazing. Some words are even offered with pronunciation. All you need to do is type in the word you do not clearly understand and it shows up with multiple possible meanings and their sources. So far I’ve gone through an entire medical book (barely knowing what white blood cells were before I started) and this dictionary app has helped me out so much. Thank you, creators💕

Paramedic training

I’m currently working towards Paramedic and this app is a true life saver ( no pun intended lol) its nice that it’s so handy and far easier than looking through a book. The app works well and so far I haven’t found any issues with the interface at all. Highly recommend this.
