CDC Yellow Book

If you travel the world, especially in the tropics, the C.D.C. “Yellow Book” for travellers has lots of info on tropical diseases and other diseases, and the preventive actions and vaccines to help prevent the diseases. Yes, it’s pricy, but I recommend it.

Does not forewarn that this is a $29.99 app

Too basic and limited. Doesn't state which areas are moderate to high-risk for travelers’ diarrhea, which most travelers will contract. Doesn’t offer advice on routine vaccines such as MMR for areas with community outbreak of measles. This is not a good app for beginners or experts in travel medicine. It’s too basic and should be a free app.

You need to pay to get informarion

Clarification on all the bad reviews. The info is great and if you live in the developing world and see patients it is invaluable. Great info without a WiFi. It is a trial version. It lists all the topics you can see with a subscription. I think people just want everything for free nowadays. It’s a great app.

Makes you pay for info easily obtained free from CDC website. Don’t bother.

This is a government document, free online, but these cons are selling it to you. Don’t be scammed.

Complete waste of time. The “previews” are no such thing and nearly all information is behind a $30 paywall. Don’t bother with this cash grab. Go to the CDC website where all the information is available freely. It is disgraceful that a public health info resource like this that is already paid for by taxpayers and donations *and* that has all the info for free on the CDC website is being sold here for a hefty profit. Absolutely shameful behavior. A minor convenience fee of $1-$3 or so would be perfectly fine, but present cost is criminal.

I don’t think any reasonable man would call this a “Preview.” Once you waste your time and data downloading the app, you will ONLY have access to a “water disinfection for travelers” document. If you want to know what the app contains and how it functions you’ll have to pay $30 or just go to the CDC website where it’s free.

This "app" is free to download but does not come with usable data. In order to make it usable, you must pay $29.95. So, the app is not free. It's 29.95 app. Take that into consideration before you download.
