## Nursing Dictionary by Farlex Reviews in United States

### *---- "Disappointed"
They need to update it with all the medical terms that we need. I tried searching a couple of words one of them was ominous and it wasn’t listed. SMH
-- CHOCO84, 2022-04-25

### ***** "App rating for Nursing Dictionary"
This is the best dictionary I have used so far. It not only has body systems but also has medication and their details. It also explains everything deeply and thoroughly.
-- Bunny mouse, 2021-09-05

### ****- "LLS Interpreter"
This is my to go app for medical terminologies. Thank you.
-- abumagan, 2021-08-10

### ***** "Very Helpful"
It’s easy to access and use. Has come in handy with teaching my staff what medical terms mean
-- marshmallow1, 2021-05-02

### ***** "❤️"
I really like this app!
-- Quila Henry, 2021-03-16

### ****- "Love it. I can even get over the ads"
Thanks you
I even used the references
-- Mefromoz, 2021-01-13

### ***** "Great"
Using this app for few mins it gives me more insight about so many terminology, is very broad and have examples to back up the meaning I’m enjoying
-- chiemewo, 2020-09-22

### *---- "Bought ad-free version. Still receiving ads."
Downloaded this app awhile back and bought the ad-free version since it was useful for Clerkships. Not sure whether it’s worth it to be charged a second time and (who knows?) maybe a third later on.
-- Medstudent2018, 2020-08-01

### ***** "Excellent source for nursing/medical info"
This is an excellent source for all my questions on health & disease. Easy to use.
-- MBeem, 2020-02-29

### ***** "Great App"
The app is right to the point and it’s in simple terms. I love it!
-- Baileygirlblues, 2020-01-24

### ***** "Becoming Jasmine Hudson, RN"
So very handy!
-- JEHudSN, 2020-01-20

### ***** "Nursing Dictionary"
This app has helped me get through nursing school. I use it all the time!!
-- loloistre, 2020-01-05

### **--- "10 years out of date"
There are at least 3 major issues with this app.
1) It is incomplete, missing many medical terms. Google is a better app!
2) It is unnecessarily difficult to use. For example, if one searches “wound care”, instead of being directed to a definition of wound care, one is taken to a list of every type of care. Then one has to scroll and scroll and scroll to get to the very bottom of a very long list of types of care.
3) It is woefully out of date. I came across one entry (fibromyalgia) that hadn’t been updated since 2009. This was immediately evident because the diagnostic criteria for this syndrome changed in 2010. Thus anyone using the app will be misinformed
-- Laura1324, 2019-11-16

### *---- "I must have the wrong app..."
I’ve been an RN/NP for 28 yrs. Based on the reviews of this app I downloaded it. I am so disappointed that I can’t get any information or definition on anything unless it  is “1st year student basic.” I can get more info from WebMD. I see now there’s an update for purchase, but as bad as the free app was, I’m not buying.
-- Dc1577, 2019-11-13

### ***** "Wonderful"
This is a wonderful way to quickly get the info you need when your studying!!!! Love it!
-- hshsdbs, 2019-10-13

### ***** "Love it"
I am in nursing school this App is extremely helpful. It helps with just about everything including pharmacology, Maternity, etc.
-- Sandyg721, 2019-10-08

### ****- "Good for the humanity = 5 stars"
Excellent app
-- Whitepod, 2019-09-21

### ***** "Gives me Help with pronouncing"
I just downloaded the app to help me with medical pronouncing, I am not a native English speaker. The app DOES have an audio pronounce guide. Just click on the tiny speaker beside the name.

The app is supposed to have audio pronouncing of words but I can’t find that function in the app.
-- Pold'E, 2019-07-29

### ****- "Great reference tool in a pinch"
I really like the quick access to multiple sources in one page.
-- 305soldier, 2019-06-08

### ***** "Awesome App"
Please keep this app free 💜🙏🏾
-- Kila bs, 2019-05-17
