IF YOU WANT WEBMD TO FIX ALL THE PROGRAMMING PROBLEMS I HIGHLY SUGGEST WE ALL INSTALL THIS PROGRAM. I AM DOING SO IMMEDIATELY AFTER SENDING THIS REVIEW. OUT OF FIVE APPS ONLY ONE partially works. I have installed and completely uninstalled this PROGRAM 10 times I have used it for months with no problem until a couple weeks ago. TTFN DON'T INSTALL THIS PROGRAM IS NOT GOOD Forced close prior rating was for information I had access to Information with access is good the rest sucks

The great Dr Cox said it best. If you hear hoofbeats, go ahead and assume it's a horse and not a zebra. Advice that the WebMD team didn't take, because they delivered me one heck of a zebra. For my symptoms I described "mild joint pain" in my "left leg" and the only answer it gave me was "Shingles". (In reality, my knee is chronically sore. No shingles here, just good old fashioned joint pain)

Great app! Easy to use & very informative. Sometimes I just look things up for fun. No problems so far. HTC EVO Shift

Very nice medical database for fact finding and general patient oriented research. Force close issues. I would like to see a "Save Patient" function.

The tap a body part feature doesn't work, also scrolling the a-z list using the faster side button scroller doesn't work. Pictures could be handy too

...the app needs to be a bit more polished, i.e.: some caching logic and the possibility to bookmark diseases or symptoms.
