    It covers all relevant topics with all necessary information for future decision-maling process. It is well organized with useful links between the table of contents and the cases and its different sections.
  • Good, not great

    The content is all there and I love that it's always in my pocket, but the interface could use some work. Some customizable it would be nice like font size. I hate that you have to highlight at least 30 characters. Please get rid of that limitation.
  • Great App!

    I use this app for my studies and it has been so useful to me. I recommend it for medical and nursing students too.
  • Solid content, poor Graphic User Interface

    The content is identical to the Case Files text. My biggest gripe is that the font size is HUGE. There is not an option to decrease the font size, neither on the iPhone or iPad. This would make it much easier to use this app.
  • Looks hideous on iphone 6 plus

    The content is of high quality. That said the app should be fixed as it is currently horrendous on the iphone 6 plus- the text and buttons are enormous with no ability to change font size that is . It is downright awful looking
  • The app doesn't work.

    This app doesn't do anything on my iPhone 6+. When I select a topic, there is a button to go to the sample chapter, but when I tap it, it just says, "sample chapter downloading..." and nothing happens. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I tried restarting my phone. The app still didn't work. I didn't try the purchased content because there is no option anywhere to purchase content. FYI, my phone is brand new and all my other apps work. I'm really surprised they put this app on the App Store without more testing.
  • Excellent App for Clinical Rotations

    I'm using this app on an iPad Mini 2. I regret not getting it for my first 3 rotations (Peds, Psych, Family Med). I did get purchase the ~$30 In-App Purchase for OB/Gyn (which you have to do for each field of study) at the beginning of the rotation that I just finished. It proved to be a great, quick study tool throughout the day at the hospital. I'm definitely going to continue using it for Internal Med and Surgery. I HIGHLY recommend this to any 3rd year medical student trying to hone in on your knowledge in the spare minutes between patients, at lunch break, etc. As long as you use Case Files as a supplemental tool along with a textbook rather than your only study tool, you'll find it very helpful!
  • Very informative

    This app has a bunch of information at your fingertips and is very convenient. The chapter downloads are fast and text is clear and big. The highlight feature works great to and helps you find those important parts very easily and conveniently in the app. For anyone studying in the medical field this is a great tool and will for sure help in your studies.

    This app has such a great variety of case files, which as a med student, helps a lot. I love the included quizzes and case notes. I have recommended this app to a few of my classmates, and they love it too.
