I like this a lot. As a special needs parent, I'm constantly looking things up. Now I can get solid, consistent information that his doctors also use--and it's all in one spot.

Why must this app need to manage my phone calls and my contacts? If I don't let it, it throws my out of the app. Uninstalled.

Easy to use, very comprehensive. Like that it's ad free and can be used without wifi. I'm glad they are removing the required access to phone. That's too much info.

Really concern the need for knowing my contacts and anything more than that. Stop myself immediately when it asked for access to my contacts. What data are they collecting from me from using the app?

Very useful app - love having all of this information available right on my phone without needing an Internet connection, especially emergency medical info. It's easy to navigate and provides a depth of information I haven't seen elsewhere.

This app has all the great info from the website but with a better, more intuitive interface. I love the new features such as access to a lot of the info without WiFi, favorites feature, and the symptom checker. A must have for anyone traveling or has a kid.

Not appropriate for mobile devices. Will look for in Windows 10 PC/Laptop App. Very disappointed. Just a few months ago I was able to access both Merck Manual Consumers and Professional versions through online links. The app is a Waste of Time and data space. WHY????

Great for using when I need quick info or have questions. Love that it doesn't require Internet connection, nice bonus in a rural area where Wi-Fi is sometimes tough to find.
