Taber's Medical Dictionary for Positive User Reviews
✓ ComprehensiveThis is an excellent comprehensive dictionary. As long as they don't ask for a subscription fee, I will rate it very highly..Version: 1.25
✓ Good app, but tired of having to pay to renewUpdate: I now have access to the app for 1 more year. I bought this app a few years ago. Because I did not renew it, I now do not have access to the content because the app I bought has not been updated by the developer to work with later versions of iOS..Version: 1.22
✓ ConvenienceFirst thing you should know is that its not free, but that said, this App is very useful, its got pictures and audio, were it pronounces the words for you, its full of information the same that you would find in the book, but it’s a lighter version of it, you don’t have to carry that book around, you have some extra space in your backpack and the information is right in your fingertips, convenience isn’t that what the iPod and iPhone were made for?.Version: 0
✓ BetterThan 1995’s!.Version: 1.25
✓ Awesome toolI am an Athletic Training student, and this is an awesome tool to have. If you are in the health field of any kind it is worth the purchase. I was debating between buying the actual book and this app. I went with the app because unlike books it will update after the purchase. But of course I haven had the app long enough to go through a different book edition. So I could be wrong. If I'm wrong, it's worth the price.Version: 1.18
✓ Taber’s dictionaryI use it all the time at work. Fabulous..Version: 1.20
✓ Awesome appAwesome.Version: 1.24
✓ Great customer supportCustomer support was more than helpful with my issues! Cannot wait to use this app for nursing school! Thank you!! Gaylen was extremely helpful and nice!!.Version: 1.23
✓ AS AN RN I ALWAYS FIND THIS REFERENCE EXTREMELY HELPFUL!I have been an RN for more than 50 years. Taber’s Medical Dictionary is a “go to” for so many diagnoses and information. I don’t want to ever be without this handy reference tool. I recommend Tabor’s to everyone in the nursing profession from students to those in PhD program..Version: 1.25
✓ KathyWouldn’t want to be without my Taber’s app! Love it! Thanks!.Version: 1.25
✓ Great resource for nursing studentI own Taber's in hard copy and on my iPhone. I use it often for looking up diseases, abbreviations. I have been very happy to have the book and I find I use the iPhone app just as often, if not more often than the book. A little pricey for the app, but then do you want to carry the thick book around along with the other books you need to bring to class? The convenience of the app outweighs the price for me..Version: 1.15
✓ Come on!After much hesitation due to negative reviews, I purchased the Taber's. I already own the hard copy of the 20th edition but really needed it for work on my ipod touch. It works so far. Same content and info as the hard copy! You get the updates for a year, but get to keep the Taber's dictionary on your ipod touch. Also, you do not need wifi connection to access the info (except for the first download and the updates as well as the pronounciation feature), which was a big concern when I purchased the dictionary. However, I agree that the "free program" classification can be misleading. Hey, the book sells for $35, it's not going to be free..Version: 0
✓ Really goodStable, fast, many great diagrams and has a file with the proper audio pronunciation of each word. I bought this and Oxford, I prefer this..Version: 1.5
✓ A must haveThis is a must have dictionary app as it is the most complete compared to any other (Oxford/Dorlands). Unbound medicine has finally updated it to be compatible with iPad(1&2). Amazing once again and a must have, I will give it 5 stars once the issue below is fixed. Note to developers: please make it faster while searching for things as it lags. The iPhone version never lagged when I used it on my iPhone 4 and now that I only have an iPad 2, it was lag free to date on the ipad 2 as well until I updated today to the iPad full size version I notice a lag while typing in my entries..Version: 1.6
✓ Doing what I need it to do, now on my iPad--GREAT!I have used Unbound Medicine's version of Taber's on my Palm Treo and then on my Blackberry Torch. I really like the videos it has--they simplify concepts to make them easier to understand. You can also 'star' your favorites, so you can review them PRN. I am currently using them (Taber's and Merck Manual) to assist me with the CE topics that I have chosen and I have them both on my iPad and iPhone. I use the iPad while I'm studying and the iPhone when I need to look something up while at work or away from home. Very convenient and easy to use. The iPad version is easier to use than Blackberry, so I am VERY pleased!.Version: 1.12
✓ RataingGreat app..Version: 1.15
✓ SatisfiedI read the reviews. Attempted to access my dictionary after a year and could not use it unless I renewed it for $30, just as previous posts had stated. However, after sending in an email to customer support via their web site. The company replied within 5 mins & reset my account. So I am now able to use the dictionary once again. It is very useful. I am a medic and use it regularly..Version: 1.6
✓ Suggestion for improvementStarting to find words like ‘transentorhinal’ that are not in Tabor’s. Do you plan to upgrade the anatomical wordset, soon?.Version: 1.23
✓ EENOne of the best apps for a nurse to be able to access in their practice. Educational video's are an added bonus..Version: 1.15
✓ Great reference toolTaber’s was one of the first medical books I was introduced to as a teen volunteering at my local hospital and I’ve used one ever since and now the updated app since it became available. I’m a retired RN, healthcare consultant and certified medical coder and this book has guided me in reviewing medical records over the years. Excellent tool..Version: 1.25
✓ Very GoodIt is very to comprehend..Version: 1.23
✓ Great-Must HaveHave used extensively as RN, consider it for me, extremely comprehensive & concise. Always had current hard copy. Now, digital version. Thank You.Version: 1.25
✓ Good Content, but can be betterI would recommend either 1. Taber's or 2. Dorland's illustrated dictionary 32nd Dorland's is much more exhaustive and frankly I prefer Dorland's. I had bought Taber's mobile dictionary 1 year ago thinking it was cheaper than Dorland's dictionary. It is not so. Taber's purchase limits you to 1 year subscription for both mobile + web (a fact I didn't know until it expired a few days ago.) Besides being restricted to one iPad + one phone (plus web access) My mistake : I had thought it was a life time subscription, with the web access being available for 1 year. Pros of Dorland's 1. one time purchase 2. I have two iPads, one phone, one ipod touch...my sister has one ipad, one iphone...So We share the ID, and thus the app is available everywhere for use. ( cost / device becomes much cheaper this way.) Dorland's, if you are reading this. Don't get any ideas and go the subscription style. I will be recommending you to many others. Content wise, if money is not a problem, Get Taber's too. Some definitions are easier to understand in one app, and vice versa..Version: 1.16
✓ A fantastic resource for a busy medical student on the move!This is the quickest and most reliable method that I've found, on the iPhone, for answering questions regarding medical terminology. Most importantly, it is always in my pocket. When you are busy on the ward and there are no free computers, you still have Taber's at your fingertips (provided you have a subscription). I just renewed my Taber's subscription, because it has been worth every penny over the last year (3rd year medical clerkships). Actually, the renewal is only ~$30. - It has useful images, unlike some other med dictionary apps. - You can save high yield terms in your favorites folder for review later in the day. ****** Note: To those upset about not getting something for nothing... **************** - Taber's Medical Dictionary is not a free service. The APP to access it from your iPhone is free. This has been VERY clearly stated in the description of this app above. It is wise to read descriptions before downloading apps and certainly before complaining about "false advertising". - There are free dictionary apps, dictionary websites and of course Wiki (though you shouldn't trust it for anything clinical), if the price is the sticking point..Version: 0
✓ Awesome App!!!!I have been surprised (in a good way) by the amount of information I got in this app... True, I needed to get a subscription to Unbound for $50, but after the initial download, I now have SO MUCH information at my fingertips... wherever I go... (no internet required to access info after the initial download!) It really is so worth the money! Just think, we spend more than $100 on one textbook, which just sits on our shelves most of the time... But, this book, and all it's info, travels with you! I had some questions while setting it all up and the Unbound people were very prompt and helpful! Overall, I'm very impressed!!.Version: 0
✓ Needs UpdateApple’s last update is not compatible with the current version of Taber’s.... I need this resource for school ... STAT! Please fix this.Version: 1.19
✓ Best Medical DictionaryThis has been my go-to dictionary for the past 20 years! I like detail information and this dictionary provides that and more..Version: 1.23
✓ Nursing Student "Must Have!"I almost dropped my iPhone (in excitement!) when I first discovered the availability of Taber's on the app store. I've been using the Palm PDA version of Taber's for a year now and love it. The new version here on the app store also provides users with all of the "figures" that were previously not available in the PDA versions. The outstanding figures take advantage of iPhone and iPod Touch’s unique ability to zoom in and out and include such things as the heart and cranial nerves among a thousand others. The program is also "self contained" meaning that after you download and purchase it you no longer need to connect to the web to use it, unless updating the software which is included for a year. I can't get over how amazing it is to have one of the best medical encyclopedias in my pocket with the amazing interface Apple has provided. Flawless! This is a "must have" for nursing students..Version: 0
✓ Taber’s medical dictionary is the best!I’m a student of veterinary technology. Taber’s medical dictionary is user friendly because Navi-menu is simple and well organized. There are lot of illustrations and pictures. Every word starts with pronouncing sounds player with clear American pronounce. It absolutely worth the money in my opinion:).Version: 1.23
✓ Ignore 2-star rating from those who can't be bothered to read the app's descriptionMany of whom are also among those who expect something for nothing. This app is a free iPhone/iTouch interface for the Taber's Dictionary which, like most if not all things of value in this world, costs money. There are a number of apps on the appstore which don't cost anything to download but require membership or purchase of something elsewhere in order to function. This is one of them. It works very well as an interface for Taber's Medical Dictionary. I *much* prefer Unbound's interface for common medical references such as Taber's to that of the competition, ie Skyscape. (Note that skyscape avoids getting bashed for a "free but not free" app by providing a few free chunks of content with it's reader/interface app. If you want Taber's through skyscape, however, you'll still have to pay for it.).Version: 0
✓ TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!Definitely don't buy if you plan to upgrade your phone or have a bug and need to contact customer service. Im a physician and thought the $50 fee was reasonable, but I bought the new iphone 3GS/changed my phone# and I am no longer able to access Tabers. When I try to login, it denies me access and says to call customer service. When I called customer service, I always got an answering machine which said they will call you back in 1 business day. THEY NEVER CALLED BACK!!!! I've left a message nearly everyday for a 2 weeks, still no call back. I'm definitely not paying another $50 just to get this dictionary, and I will tell all my colleagues to never buy from Unbound out of pure principle..Version: 0
✓ An essential tool.Of course, we can always look something up on the web, but Taber’s provides clinically relevant, unbiased information easily and quickly available that I use often in my practice as a family nurse practitioner..Version: 1.24
✓ Medical KnowledgeMy mother had us researching our symptoms since we were kids, and the day she started having us do that, she has built our trust in the Taber’s. I have LOVED them putting this book and it’s information in a app for the phones..Version: 1.24
