Ratings and reviews

It's a very basic app. the definitions are there and the flashcard section is welcomed, but I would have rather seen a multiple choice pretest sort of section added. Why not add a paid version to have access to questions that have been retired from previous versions of tests? I think that would go over very well with customers. Besides that, the app has a weird crash bug in which if you type on the apostrophe sign into the search bar, the app crashes.

-2 stars for Dictionary search not searching within key words. If a term has multiple words, only searching the first word will bring up the term. -1 for poorly implemented link feature. Would give +1 for useful similar terms being linked in dictionary section, however, many terms have no links and ones that do often are dead ends. The app is designed that going back takes you to the search home, so you have to redo your searches every time you run into a dead end.

When selecting a subcategory of flash cards it crashes. I don't want to look at all if them, just CPIM part 1, and if I select it, then press Start, the application closes. No answer from anyone. I bought a new android phone last week. Same issue. Load of bloody rubbish.
