Good, not great

The content is all there and I love that it's always in my pocket, but the interface could use some work. Some customizable it would be nice like font size. I hate that you have to highlight at least 30 characters. Please get rid of that limitation.

Developer Response ,

We have just released a new update to address the issues you have brought up:
1) No limit on the highlight functionality. You can now highlight less than 30 characters.
2) You can change the font size of the text for each of the titles included in this app.

Excellent App for Clinical Rotations

I'm using this app on an iPad Mini 2. I regret not getting it for my first 3 rotations (Peds, Psych, Family Med). I did get purchase the ~$30 In-App Purchase for OB/Gyn (which you have to do for each field of study) at the beginning of the rotation that I just finished. It proved to be a great, quick study tool throughout the day at the hospital. I'm definitely going to continue using it for Internal Med and Surgery. I HIGHLY recommend this to any 3rd year medical student trying to hone in on your knowledge in the spare minutes between patients, at lunch break, etc. As long as you use Case Files as a supplemental tool along with a textbook rather than your only study tool, you'll find it very helpful!

Very informative

This app has a bunch of information at your fingertips and is very convenient. The chapter downloads are fast and text is clear and big. The highlight feature works great to and helps you find those important parts very easily and conveniently in the app. For anyone studying in the medical field this is a great tool and will for sure help in your studies.
