Taber's Medical Dictionary for Negative User Reviews
✓ Tabers Medical DictionaryI don't know why they don't just put a price on it when you first look at it, you can't do anything without buying it when you have downloaded so what's the point!!.Version: 1.15
✓ It's not freeThis App is not free..Version: 1.22
✓ Ridiculously confusing installation for an iPhoneI purchased this from Skyscape and attempted to install via my iPhone. First, disregard the install instructions on the Skyscape site--they are totally wrong and were obviously written for some other Skyscape product. Don't be tempted to download Taber's through the Unbound Medicine link--different merchant with the same product; your serial number you purchased from Skyscape will not work with Unbound. This is a wonderful resource once installed, however, be prepared for the most needlessly excruciating and frustrating installation of any app on your iPhone. NOTE TO DEVELOPERS: rewrite accurate instruction on the Skyscape website..Version: 0
✓ A SCAMAll they want is your money, you can’t even access your account after you purchase it. Waste of money and customer service doesn’t even respond and their email address on their website doesn’t even exist as a real email. SCAMMERS!.Version: 1.24
✓ For "Current Subscribers" ONLYI should have read the blurb on the side before I installed it. I can't rate this as I obviously couldn't use it..Version: 0
✓ Ripoff RENTAL AppUtterly DISGUSTED that this is nothing more than a “yearly rental” app! I strongly suggest go with a different product..Version: 1.15
✓ OkSadly, I purchased this app which has many missing pharmacological terms that i require during revision, such as tuberoinfundibular tract.Version: 1.15
✓ Another misleading appThe use of the term free should be restricted to actual free apps. this is only usable if you have a paid subscription, thereby meaning this app is not free. Just because they don't charge for the app means they should be allowed to do it. Same as all other free, but in app purchasing apps. They are not free.Version: 1.8
✓ It's a conCould not even get basic information without coughing-up £27.99. Should stick to the principle of anything worth having costs. Trouble is though you lose faith in buying it because you've already been conned once by them. No stars for this one in my choice, but Apple says I've got to at least give it one; so even that is not a true reflection.Version: 1.12
✓ This made me smile£25 for info that can be found in google within 30 seconds of puttng in symtons Sure it's all in one place and a nice neat package but get real what use it it really going to be the the vast users of an iPhone huh? At best 59p and even then I might add it to my wish list on app sniper for when it goes free! Thanks for making me smile makers.Version: 0
✓ WasteDon't buy please. Data is very poor. Subscription only to one mobile for 1 year. On the other hand skyscape and Omnio much better..Version: 1.15
✓ Limited contentsI was not able to find drug information or medical diagnoses..Version: 1.26
✓ Not so inclusiveMost of the things I would like to know more about or haven’t a clue aren’t included. If you search for an acronym only the full words are shown not the definition. Don’t waste your money on this expensive app when you have google..Version: 1.24
✓ Rip off!Even an old book can still be used without having to by new pages. This app expires with no warning and when you move to a new phone the app is then inaccessible. But for another large fee you can rent it again until then next time. What a rip-off!! I thought I bought the non-expiring book the 1st time. Not pleased. Too expensive the 1st time. Way too expensive the 2nd time, especially for something you can’t even physically touch or pass on to those that follow, children, students, medical library. The review stays the same. If it would allow less than one star I would change it. The only permanent thing about this book is this review, at least until you erase it or hide it..Version: 1.24
✓ Pay to use appPay to use app.Version: 1.24
✓ It' a ripoffDo not buy this dictionary! Once your subscription expires you no longer have access to the original dictionary. Paying a yearly subscription for updates for new word is fine if you need them but losing access to the previous edition is a greedy money grab!.Version: 0
✓ Better, but still weakNow has proper ipad interface. However favourites still don't get sorted alphabetically. Really frustrating because it must be such an easy thing to fix. Need an annual subscription to keep content up to date..Version: 1.7
✓ Nursing diagnosesI renewed my Taber’s subscription ONLY for the nursing diagnoses. All the different ways it was organized helped so much. Now there are NO diagnoses at all. Such a dumb removal. I won’t renew..Version: 1.24
✓ Not enough to help define medical terminology. Waste of $.Enough. Every medical term is not included with enough of a definition to help with class. I wasted money on this app...Version: 1.24
✓ Do not use unboundI have had many of their products in last few years at about 60 an app. iOS 11 comes along and they are the ONLY app publisher that didn’t update their product to work in iOS 11. Their solution - rebuy every app to the updated iOS app. I bought the standalone non subscription app to prevent downstream costs with a huge upfront cost. Egg on my face huh. Unbound had 2 years to update all their apps but chose to gouge their customer base!.Version: 1.19
✓ Get the oxford insteadThe dictionary itself is decent but not as good as the oxford which can be purchased directly from itunes for a third the price. The installation process is very clunky and requires the content to be downloaded wirelessly. Even over a solid wifi connection i found this to be slow and needed to restart the download several times. It's pathetic that they are attempting to rent a dictionary. Although you can retain the data on your phone after your subscription expires you will be unable to reinstall if you need to wipe your phone or want to transfer your purchasea to the next iphone..Version: 1.5
✓ Good ref. but $$$!The images are not very detailed. Why for $50 it works on 1 iPhone only? I also have a itouch but will need to buy a 2nd app for that..Version: 0
✓ A medical dictionary for free...cool!!!Eh,it's free so why the he'll not?!!!!.Version: 0
✓ Ripp-offTotal cr*p. They trying to get to your pocket not once, but every year. Go with Darland's. They have a fair deal..Version: 1.15
✓ It's not free!!! ...Download to Delete!Misrepresenting App.....Version: 1.9
✓ Unusable unless you payIt won't allow you to look anything up unless you pay $40. Why are definitions such a secret? Seriously have you ever heard of google? Don't waste your time. Just google what you wanna know.Version: 1.19
✓ Horrible ripoffThey charge you $50 for the app which is of questionable quality and then give you a hard time to reinstall it if you accidentally remove the app. If you change the phone then simply forget it and say goodbye to your money. Such a ripoff. Do not recommend at all..Version: 1.18
✓ Not a dictionary apIt's en ap to buy the dictionary, not the actual thing so its deceiving and dishonest. so don't bather getting it.Version: 1.15
✓ Don't buy it's a rip offI paid 39$ for the 21 edition and once they come up with their new update they remove it from iTunes Store and if I want to purchase the new version I have to pay for it .are you kidding this is called a rip off .please don't unless they come up with solution for the new update we either have to pay partial or free for those who already paid ..Version: 1.22
✓ Tabor medical dictionaryLove the new features.Version: 1.21
✓ A Total “RIP OFF”This App Store demands my full credit card information BEFORE a price is even quoted for my approval!! I have been using the same card for over 3years with no trouble-and now it failed to take it!! Be careful everyone! Don’t get ripped off when trying to use the App Store! Thank you John.Version: 1.26
✓ Doesn’t even work.Doesn’t even work. They took my money and they won’t even let me use the app.Version: 1.24
✓ Waste Of timeBig waste of time down loading this so called free app.Version: 1.15
✓ DonI updated my application and was not able to use the dictionary that I purchased last year. You are supposed to be able to use it except the web functionality even if you did not update your subscription. Support from unbound medicine stated that I need to purchase a new one since I am using a new iPhone now. 9-3-10: Part of the earlier review was removed by me, since I received an e-mail from the support team that I was given the wrong information. He said that I can transfer Tabers dictionary to my new iPhone since it's not updated on a regular basis unlike other software, unless a new edition of the book is released. He will even help me personally to transfer the software to my new device. I have not reinstall the software at this time..Version: 0
✓ DisappointedDon't buy for all the reasons already mentioned ...what a shame.Version: 0
✓ Frustrating...Since the app was listed as "free" I tried it - without seeing that it is, in fact, NOT free, since you need a subscription to use it. To be fair, this is mentioned in the description, but I feel this app shouldn't be in the "free" section since it really isn't without cost. Seems quite a few people have made the same mistake. At least all I lost was a few minutes. :).Version: 0
✓ U need to pay for 59.99It's not a free one. Need to pay to open any pages. What a scam. May as well just mark the price and save my time.Version: 1.16
✓ Medical dictionaryAlthough this App is showing as a free download you cannot view contents unless you log in and pay an absolutely ludicrous subscription of $49. Very disappointing - I too will stick to google for now..Version: 0
✓ WASTE OF DOWNLOAD!!!!You have to login to even see anything. What a waste of download and time!!! DON'T BOTHER!!!.Version: 1.10
✓ Why? why? why?!If the dictionary was bundled with the app I would buy this dictionary in a second. but it's not. instead you can only download it once. if something happens to your iPhone, it's gone. if you want to upgrade your iPod, it's gone. if you accidentally delete it from your iPhone, it's gone. $50 wasted. dumb system. forget it..Version: 0
✓ Greedy without contentNot worth more than 59p. Don't waste your money!.Version: 1.5
✓ A good dictionary database, but some frustration with the interface.I bought this program for use during and after PA school. We have lots of definitions to type, share and study. This was the only electronic version that was included as a choice dictionary. Overall I've been moderately satisfied, but improvements need to be made before I'd recommend this to a friend. 1. My biggest frustration is that the application itself doesn't seem able to handle a rapid flow of text. When typing, if I enter a string of characters any faster than hunt-and-poke with one hand duplicate characters appear. Thus, when I'm using my bluetooth keyboard or typing two handed on my iPad, a text entry such as atelectasis will appear "attelecctassis". Most frustrating to have to type 50 vocab words slowly. 2. Generally the database is sufficient, but on some entries I've been disappointed that there is not more information (a line or two at most). On others, the depth is great. Limited figures and charts make me miss my old RN dictionary. 3. Price and term hold me back given the above issues. If the price was more affordable, or the there was not a limited use term (I think 1 year for updating, afterwards, result is . . . ?) I would be more likely to recommend to others. The above issues should not exist in a dictionary of this price and of this name..Version: 1.7
✓ Zero starsThis app wouldn’t load on my phone. Does me no good. Would like to have refund..Version: 1.23
✓ Not for every onePlease be aware that this needs a paid perscription. Does say so on info, but I must have not read that.Version: 1.5
✓ HOSAThis was cited as where HOSA draws its terms for Medical Spelling Conpetitions but i cant use it because you have to pay to view it. Cmon man.Version: 1.23
✓ Very disappointedUnable to use this application due to sign up difficulties. Poor follow up buy company on my email. waste of money..Version: 1.6
✓ Stupid.All I wanted were a few definitions. This app is NOT free..Version: 1.12
✓ Not workingI bought this app and every time I open this app, it says that the app is missing content update it. And then every time I update it, the app says that update done. But again it tells me to update and that the content is missing! So frustrated!.Version: 1.17
✓ Need audio included in the file itselfI work in the hospital in one of non-English speaking countries. I really wanted to get a medical dic with audio files bcuz I can hardly hear the exact pronunciations of medical terms even on the web. I agree the content of this dic is good, BUT I want to hear the audio soon after clicking the speaker icon. It takes too long to access and play the audio files on the web. Actually I purchased this app bcuz u guys said this has audio files integrated but u cheated me! It's not integrated but requires internet connection as well as my patience to be played. So I want audio files included in the app file itself!!!.Version: 0
✓ PerformanceNice but limited Should huge work in Otology and neuro Otology poor.Version: 1.24
✓ Not goodNeed a paid subscription, the app is false advertisement! Don't bother.Version: 1.9
