This app required me to submit my name and email address EVERY time I tried to use it. It would not have been that big a deal if it had not taken 10 to 15 minutes for the app to update itself. That made it nearly useless in a clinical situation. Support told me to delete and reinstall it, but it still does it. I will stick to the paper version. It doesn't require an update every time I open it.
Doesn't Work
Doesn't work with iPhone 6. Downloaded it, opened it, and then says it is looking for updates and then times out. Please update for iOS 8 and iPhone 6! Tried it on my iPad and works fine...but can't fit my iPad in my pocket, so it's useless for me so far.
An entire veterinary course in your pocket
What a great book! Using as a focus point for exam study this book guides you through the outline points superbly I found it lacked the detail that a more specific text book would have but far exceeded that of a simple veterinary dictionary. I found the index search a little limited and frustrating having to go through the outline topics to find the info I needed. The multimedia is excellent. Enjoy
Merck vet manual
Excellent resource. Up-to-date and readily accessible. Every veterinarian should have a copy.
Not as much detail as online
It's very good overall and has good information on a wide variety of conditions. However it doesn't show all of the information that is available in the web page version regarding background of certain diseases such as joint ill in foals.
Useful portable reference
Overall, the content of this app is thorough, easy to read and quick to access.
Nothing too technical or in depth, but great for a short overview of the main things you need to know and understand to inform yourself, diagnose, treat, control and prevent.
Wonderful photos!!
Information is logically organised and can be accessed from multiple angles (exactly like the online version).
The app could be improved to allow for quicker access as it seems most sections are just copy-paste paragraphs with tables that do not fit well with the iPhone screen.
For me, it is worth the $50 to have the benefit of merck's info instantly without Internet access.
Because I'm in my final year of study, I can open up the app anywhere and have a quick read of a topic wherever I am.
Nice but falls short
For the price I expected it to be visually richer and better suited for an electronic source of information, it is after all a manual for supplemental information, isn't it?
Waste of money
I've spent the last week trying to get this app to work. It continually says it needs an update and then looses connection. Much faster to just look up Merck on the web. I wouldn't be annoyed if it was free.
Nice book
Waiting for digital version for a long time.
Good, solid version of Merc
more topics are covered comparing to the previous edition. Good looking, functional app
Worth the money
This app is well-tailored for iPad use and is worth the money. User-friendly and no bugs I've discovered thus far. Will enrich my vet school experience undoubtedly.
Definitely worth buying
Extremely helpful - ive even been using it on the job
Doesn't work
Do not buy!! This program does not work and no answer or help from tech "support" complete waste of money.
Love this app!
I have used the Merck Veterinary Manual a lot as a study guide and to help me learn on the job! I love the app as it is more helpful to me than the hardback version! This is a must have app for any animal and veterinary enthusiasts!!
Needs highlighting capability
I'm a 4th year vet student studying for the boards. I have the hard copy of the book but it's a pain to search. I was surprised to find that you can't highlight anything with this app. If it had that capability I would give the app 5 stars and would highly recommend it. That's such a basic feature and this app is way too expensive to not include it. Please update with that feature soon so I don't feel like I wasted my money.
This is my bible when it comes to animals!
Anyone considering purchasing this but is put off by the price...Trust me, it's worth twice the price!
A MUST HAVE FOR EVERYONE WHO OWNES AN ANIMAL!
And now easier to use on the iPad!
Stop Googling & get the facts!
Obviously this is marketed to veterinary professionals but it's extremely useful for pet owners as well. My dog has cancer and this app is fantastic for looking up all the complicated terms my dog's veterinarian uses. Before I would Goggle searching for information veterinary information, now I just tap on this app! Expensive but well worth the money.
A classic
A classic that just gets better. The illustrations in this edition are excellent.
Awesome!
Has so much information and it's so much easier than picking up a large bulky book. It has been extremely helpful with my vet studies and since I'm always busy this lets me cram info in every chance I get.
Great Application but.........
The application and the UI are exceptional and defiantly a must have for practicing Veterinarians or the animal owner who wants to be well informed, only one thing missing in my opinion and that is the ability to print specific sections. often times when people are in the clinic and you explain treatments or symptoms the only hear about half of what you say, it would be nice to be able to print and provide them with information instead of using the hardback version and a copy machine.
