Please bring back your perpetual license. Spending 30$ per year for a dictionary app is really ridiculous. Nobody's gonna buy it because most of the medical terms are nowadays available with a single google search. Therefore, make the pro version reasonable & realistic so that everyone could benefit from it.

The Dorland's Medical Dictionary is an essential part of medical studies . Its excellent compilation of not only current medical terminology but archaic terms as well that has truly made this dictionary to move far ahead from other dictionaries existing in the sphere of medicine . I have been using the pocket size version of Dorland's Medical Dictionary for last 20 years with full satisfaction because of its comprehensive range of medical terms reserve being referred with precision.

Nobody's gonna purchase the yearly subscription if you plan to keep it in the future. Who will give 25$ yearly for a medical dictionary? Nowadays google search is enough, no need for a separate dictionary app. However if you switch back to one-time payment option, a lot of users will be interested to buy.
