Pros and cons of Drug Pronunciations app for iPhone and iPad
Drug Pronunciations app good for
Just came across this and I was impressed with the clarity of the interface and how straight-forward it is. Type in the drug, and hear how its pronounced... simple as that. Delatestryl is on my drug list for this rotation... lol definitely didnt know that one so glad I didnt say it in front of a patient (or worse, my attending), though probably just would have improvised and said, "recommending this IM testasterone replacement" and let whoever draws it up say it.
I like the app, helps knowing how to sound out the drug but after the recording is finished you should be able to play it again without having to leave the screen, that gets annoying if you want to hear is spoken for a 2nd time. Other than that its great.
Ive been hoping I would find an app like this! Thanks! Works wonderfully! Would like a "favorites" so that I can put those antibiotics we use in Microbiology and would also like to be able to press the "play" button to hear the word again without having to go back. Thanks again for a great app!
Great app. Very well done and very useful. Clear and accurate pronunciations. Links to google and wikipedia are very informative.
Please, consider the following improvements to get five stars:
- alphabet column on the left side of the list (à la iPhone contacts)
- audio can not be replayed; fix that, please
- automatic audio playback right upon touching a drug name (what do you think?)
- auto correction does not seem to work (?)
Missing drugs:
- Finacea
- Armour Thyroid
(both have been submitted via app)
Misspelt drugs:
- Metoprolol (Metroprolol in app)
- Hyoscyamine Sulfate (Hysocyamine Sulfate in app)
PS: thank you for sharing codes!
Everything I need and more! I already tried the lite version, so I knew exactly what I was getting. Great job!
Some bad moments
I bought app a couple of years ago. Actually it works very well especially who wants to know the correct pronunciation of drugs.
However, recently every time I open this app, I have to see horribly annoying advertisement. It really sucks. If it wasnt, Id give 5...
This app is not worth $2.99! Developer has not updated app in 2 years and does not respond to questions, reviews, or requests to add new drugs! I suggest trying the free app Howjsay or using google!
I bought this free now they charged me 2.99. Im still fighting to get my money back.
The one thing very wrong with this is that all the links I have tried for the wiki and google were bad. It always lead to bad gateway 502. I dont know what that means but I know that is not what I want to see. Anyways please fix this!!!
Addind a recently played bank would be very beneficial to us. It will elimate time to search for the drugs again! Please work on this option.
For some reason the audio wont play back for some drugs.... needs to be fixed so its more reliable for the 2.99 it costs .....
