Ratings and reviews

I find the app very useful. However the star rating and analysis doesn't make sense. Even if I have chosen correctly for most of the options it get one star. Most importantly, the analysis list doesn't align correctly with the explanation. Also I have replayed cases and the correct analysis selections are completely different than the first round.

Possible real life cases to practice and improve with. Edit: New version is worse than early version. I can't change the language of the cases, and I can't analyze subspecialties. Used to be free from payment, but I guess there had to be pay per view content. I just didn't count that the free ones would be that few.

It's a wonderful app, and the cases are discussed very thoroughly. I have a few problems though: first off, it's better to start off by choosing a diagnosis before doing workups. The app most of the time orients you to a diagnosis by proposing several exams. Also, international standards should be implemented on the chiice of exams and management. Most of the time the policies used for workup and management are not WHO: simply the choice of probably the hospital of the editing specialist. Finally, most of the cases are kind of rare: a few common pathologies will be very interesting too. Other than that, great app. I love it!!!
