As someone who reads a lot of medical research, case studies and medical textbooks as a hobby, having an app, detailed, fleshed out, free, easily accessible, and much more compact/convenient when compared to the wonderful but THICK bricks physical medical encyclopedias are. It is the second largest app on my phone though, at 1.69 GB. Guess giving up physical space exchanges it for digital storage, but offline viewing is the best. That plus since there's updates, info is current. Thank you!

The latest update is extremely bad. The in-app search function is terrible and random; you can only find what you're looking for if you type the exact full title. Also, the bottom menu that was present in the older version has been removed, and this is a disastrous change. Overall, the latest version is very bad, and everyone is extremely frustrated with it. Please update the latest version and make the necessary modifications.

This version is very stable. Previously loaded pages are saved when opening the app again. Interface is clean. The page sections are expanded by default (for some articles) and quick navigation can be done by swiping on the right edge to access the contents. Tab management is reliable, but I would prefer a snapshot of where I left of on each tab (like it is done on web browsers). I prefer the wikimed logo to the kiwix on the splash screen, when the app is started.

Next release should fix many of the points you have reported.

I really love the app. It's precise and informative. A must for any medical student who wants to be very knowledgeable and also a good guide to those who crash-read. However, this new verison seems to be so Archaic. I actually prefer the layout of the former version. Wouldn't have updated it if it didn't keep telling me "Medical Dictionary stopped working" numerous times without actually opening. That was frustrating and now imagine my disappointment on updating and seeing this layout. Edited

A marvelous resource to have available should you require it. When installed, this app occupies 1.27 GB of my phone's memory which is the price to be paid for its offline functionality, I suppose. Regrettably, it does not appear to be moveable to the phone's SD card. Perhaps the developer could address this in a future update. I installed the mini version of this app, but it is not nearly as comprehensive. So, this full version stays. It is really very informative and quite complete. Edited
