Pros and cons of The Merck Manuals - Professional app for iPhone and iPad

The Merck Manuals - Professional app good for

Having Merck on your iPhone is invaluable at the bedside! Having the web access and integrated drug guide is a definite plus and are the reasons I chose this app over the others.
cost 75$ for the complete package,you need to buy it from unbound medicine and sign up for ID and password, and when you download the free application From iTunes you need your ID to download the full worthy application, so nothing free except blindness and deafness... ما في شي ببلاش غير العمي و الطراش
An astonishing amount of information in a very small package. Well indexed, authoratative, diagnostic with a complete index of drugs. A must have for the practictioner or nurse and informed lay person. A good subsitute for the long standing Merck Manual which it was dificult to do without. And all in your pocket and your phone. A must have for those persons with the need to have technical medical information and diagnostic confirmation.
Definitely useful as a quick and reasonably in-depth reference.
Merck manual is my best friend. No heavy books since Nursing School, it is highly recommendable. I am now in grad school (MSN program) while working full time, so I use my Merck Manual-Davis drug book+references. I love it!!!! Its worth my money. Thanks.
New 19th edition is great! I can find what I am looking for quickly and easily. Love the favorites feature as I can bookmark all of the topics I need that day.

Some bad moments

Read the fine print as to how this app works. I didnt notice until I tried to use it. You need a username and login password to use the Merck Manuals. If you havens used one before, they are a treasure chest of information. But if you dont pay for the service, this app is useless to you. There is a demo access, but nothing more unless you pay for it.
The Unbound Medicine site promises a free trial but apparently that is not the case, merely a useless demo. If the application does not work for you, as is the case with much "informational" software, it is a very costly waste of storage on your PDA.
MERCK manual is great but i dont like how they con you in downloading a free app and there is nothing free about it
This is a useful program but its presentation is deceptive. It can only be installed on one device and the updates and internet access is by subscription only- ie the new price of $79 is paid each year for full access! The Merc manual and the drug info can be obtained for a much cheaper cost elsewhere.
They Still have not got the bugs out and made this functional...waste of time.
I hate it when it is advertises as free, you download the app and then you have to pay to subscribe. Not going to do it.
