Eponyms (for students) App Reviews

Thanks! Very helpful

Absolutely phenominal! Very helpful

cryptosporidiosis is NOT an eponymous condition. Eponymous means that its named after some guy, like Cushings disease, or Waterhouse-Friederischen syndrome or Cotard syndrome etc.

This is a great little app. It is a useful but very limited type of medical dictionary, just like an app that listed only "syndromes" and their definitions would be, and it doesnt pretend to be anything more than that. Its fun just to read down the list for personal education or for prep for a board exam. Mine hasnt crashed (iPhone 3GS), no problems to report. I would suggest that users who cant find "depression" or coccidiowhatever refer to a regular dictionary first so they know what an eponym is, then a medical dictionary for a definition of the non-eponymous term in question.

Eponyms are used daily in medical-ese, sometimes incorrectly. This app explains them all quickly and by system. Could be the perfect app.

This app is fantastic and Im amazed by how many eponyms are included. Very helpful! Only tweek would be to have the ability to add notes to existing eponyms or possibly photos if one of these eponyms comes into your office, for future reference.

Very handy and convenient way to memorize eponyms. Please add the ability to add notes, include photos when relevant, and cite your sources of eponyms. Were these changes to be made this app would be "perfect"!

thanks for making this useful app.

I am so glad somebody ported this over to the iphone. it is such a useful app. It is not to be confused with a dictionary, it is simply a way to learn the old names for syndromes and diseases.

Really useful reference. Not as detailed as a textbook, but perfect for a quick reference.

Still rough on the edges. There is no way to submit suggestions or corrections easily. i.e. How do I help you correct your misspelling of Colless when it should be Colles How may I suggest Smiths fracture easily?

As someone who has always hated eponyms (actual eponyms, not the app) and whose brain must consequently refuse to retain them, this app has saved me from asking dumb questions on rounds dozens of times. I cant thank the developers enough for maintaining such a complete database and, moreover, making it free for students. Cheers!

I use this app since the palm version in my firsts college years and it was great past then, but now, its incrediable, one of the best medical apps made. Great work, developer, I own you a lot.

Its a great app for all medical student. A must have. This a no brainer issue. Hats off to the guy who wrote this first foe the palm and then porting it to iPhone. I sincerely thank you. It cannot download as a background process and the app must be active to download. You cannot multitask. Please fix this.

Great app. Easy to use, comprehensive in nature. Reminds me quickly of problems associated with rare/uncommon diseases. Great for teaching too.

Fantastic, love this app!

Thank you

Been using this since my palm days. Interface is clean and easy to use. App comprehensive. Author of eponyms database responsive to additions and suggestions. For those comlpaining about wanting to submit new eponyms or corrections, send an email to the database author. Link to database website with address is in app.

Great for quick on the spot reminders of what a certain eponym describes. Not super detailed but serves its purpose.

Very helpful.
