MedAbbreviations Comments & Reviews 2026

Very useful. Thank you for such a concise and helpful tool. Makes studying for med school so much easier.

Good. Good

Int med grad. Excellent for us international graduates.

SPTA. A very helpful tool for students.

Great App. I love this app. I have a book on all of this but I love this app because I am a medical transcriptionist and I can look at this app much faster than my book. A great app if you are in tye medical field.

Medical Writer. I use this this program quite often because I'm a medical writer. I find very good for the most part but lacking in Alternative Medicine subjects like Chiropractic, Acupuncture and others.5

Good reference. Haven't used it as much as I thought I would but but helpful when I need it.

Ok app. It is an ok app for what I need to do. I am in MA school right now and it does help to have this app for quick reference. I just think it could have been combined with suffixes, prefixes and combining form words. That would have made it the perfect app.

Update!. It needs a reverse reference, a seemingly basic feature. These things go both directions, after all.

Good app. Handy & useful app. Should be updated now and again. I am an NP and use this app frequently .... Even the docs I work with come to me if they get a report with an unfamiliar abbreviation.

Love it!. I would not have made it thru clinicals as a student without this app! I was always the one in my group to have access to the info quickly! Love this app! Thanks!

Great app!!!. Great app for price. Search for an abbreviation and get meaning and other possible meanings too. Backs abbreviations online too, so you know it's not made up. Still missing a few abbreviations but well worth it. Buy this app before medical abbreviations by QD Ideas, LLC. This one is much better!

💙. Very helpful thanks 😊

Most used nursing student app. The most useful app i have! decipher lecture notes, clinical charts Low cost for lots of use!

One of my favorite medical apps. I use this app all the time in both clinicals and lecture. Even when I'm studying I'll come across an acronym i don't know and i look it up. This app is a bargain for how often I use it!!!

Lacking. Medical log of abbreviations is greatly lacking

Great app... But. I am a nursing student and love many things about this app, BUT if I could get one thing changed I would want to be able to export bookmarked abbreviations to view like flash cards. Or at least have a NEXT to go to next bookmarked abbreviation As it is now, each bookmarked abbrev must be viewed then closed before another one can open.

Great App. I use this App several times a week and it has never failed me!

Great app. I just started using it and so far it's way better than other med abbv/ med terminology apps. I love that you can add your own abbv and it links with Wikipedia well.

Don't bother. I thought it would be better than it is but it serves alright as a reference but still doesn't have hardly any real abbreviations... I've stumped it 6 times in the last 20 minutes while studying for a pharmacotherapeutics test

Mr. As someone who spends a lot of time in healthcare I find myself using this app more than any other one

Guardian. Needs an easier way to narrow one's search. The alphabetizing still results in long search times. The information is invaluable.

Stuck in Fl. I tried a few before this one. I have since been recommending this app.

Just one thing missing. Great app, for medical profesional only one feature missing to make it a five star app. Option to write new abbreviations

Love it!. Very helpful for my pharmacology & anatomy classes. I refer to it often. Highly recommend.

Very useful. Great app!!!!

Nice app. Well done

Med abbreviations. A godsend when I couldn't find a book of abbreviations one night at work! I love this app!

Very comprehensive, needs capitalization. A comprehensive list of abbreviations likely to be found in medical charting. Link to Wikipedia helpful for more information when available. All the listings are lower case which creates errors for some abbreviations that have mixed upper and lower cases (such as Iron as Fe), plus it should indicate which ones must be in lower case (e.g. gram as g). Indication of approved JACHO abbreviations would also be useful. This should be a required app for students. Well worth the price.

Avoid. I upgraded to the iPhone 7 and the app presented with a warning about how it will slow down my phone. The developer should feel ashamed for taking money or an app with a known deficit.

Great app. Almost most of the abbreviations included 👍 i wish to see update activity including even more abbreviations 😉

Great app, so far. I am a pharmacy student and right now its a great app for in class case studies. Lets see how it works when I go on my clinicals next week. Lol

Fantastic App!!!. I use it everyday when I question directions a doctor writes!!!

Most useful app. I use this app almost on a daily basis. My lifeline at work & even at home! Keep up the good work!

Well Done. This has had every abbreviation I've tried to look up, and it's really fast. It is an excellent addition to my other medical applications. Another nice application Evan. Thanks!

Fix the glitch!. This was a good app until the recent update took away the search box after you view your first search result. After that I can't search for anything and there's no easy way to scroll through all of it. Please fix this and I'll give a better rating!

Worthless. With all questions answered, this app never did return results in identifying meds. Very POOR.

Very Useful. Been using this from time to time. Better than using books, specially if your in a hurry trying to figure out doctors 's orders.

Abbreviation. Very useful app if you work with other practitioner who use abbreviation more than I. Gr8 app.

Fantastic. Almost any and all abreviations one could ever wish for.

Great app. I use this app frequently @ the hospital, it is super helpful. I highly recommend it.

Medical Student. Outstanding I say, no other words can describe this app. It is fast and very clear to understand.

Frustrated. I thought this would be useful when transcribing, but so far abbreviations I needed are not found in this app and I have to go to Google instead. I was hoping that would eliminate that for me, but this is not the case. I tried one more time and found the abbreviation I needed, but it was incorrect. So instead I'm just going to use Google instead of using your app as a portal.

Awsome App!!!. I find this very useful in my line of work.. I do several differnt jobs in the medical field... And I use this in each area... Thank you !!

New IOS 11. When is your Ap going to be updated to play with the newest version of the Iphone?

Worth it!. Like the option that takes u online for description of what the term actually is

Search bar?. After a few minutes of browsing the app, the search bar disappears and does not return unless I turn the phone off and on. Once I restart the app, the search bar is available again but only for a few minutes and then disappears again. The app is only as good as its search tool. I must have had a glitch in my phone because the following day the app worked like a charm!

V.good. Some review rates it -ve, said there were only about 50 approved med abbreviations. Those ones we know, this lovely app helps us with the ones we dont know. !

Need actual references. The idea is good and the database is good but for some one who actually works in the medical field you would know wikipedia isn't a valid source for information. Though many of these may be correct, you can't be sure unless you check them in an actual verified abbreviation book. And to the person below, don't rate/ review your own app especially if you are going to argue with your purchasers. It's un trust worthy.

Review. Great book. Thank u for making it readable on my phone. Works great. Kuddos.

Medical Abbreviations. Good detail

Medical abbreviations. This is a great app with up to date, accurate information which is easy to access.

Very helpful. Very helpful app

Good app. Pretty useful for Meds student

Good app. I really like this app, I think it's definately worth the money, however it could be even better if there was an on screen option for submitting other abbreviations not already in the list. If an update including a feature like this were made availble I would be definately giving this 5 stars!

Pretty good suggestions. However not exhaustive as yet

Helpful. Really coming in handy.

Missing crucial feature. Although the program has a lot of abbreviations, it is missing a key feature for anyone who will use it on a day-to-day basis. The author needs to implement the functionality to enter your own custom abbreviations. Until then only 2 stars.

Med abbreviation. Useful

Very Usefull. Very useful , never know when it could be important to know what an abbreviation means

Health care aide. Useful

Dr. Lots of abbreviations.... But many of them very obvious.... Or very obscure. Not ver useful for thru day-to-day use or charting.

Pocket Heart. Fantastic!!! Recommend for all healthcare professionals and students

Really?!. This app has like 25 different meanings for one abbreviation and sometimes more than one abbreviation for a word! And half of them aren't even medical terms!! This app was a HUGE waste of money considering I am a surgical student and there are like zero surgical abbreviations!!!

Very helpful!. I use it in MA school & it's VERY useful & helpful in all my classes!

nice tool. It's a good tool to have for somebody managing a facility for the elderly. I just hope they provide regular updates as necessary.

Best med abbreviation app!. I've tried 3 different med abbreviation apps, and this is my favorite!

MS II. Was hopeful but didn't have the first acronym I tried to look up. I'll keep trying but honestly if you're charging for an app I shouldn't be googling medical acronyms.

Lab manager. Love it! Makes a day of reviewing charts so much faster when training new staff to give them as a reference.

User. Enjoyed the app. Lots of good info.

Pretty good. It's pretty good but as others have said it needs more updated

Handy tool!. Has most of my searches..

Medical Coder. I do medicalcoding for several different doctors and this app is great

Useful App. Usually able to find most abbrev.

Medabbreviations. Could have been a good app but the app closes everytime you put the first letter in the search field-rendering the app worthless

Nice. Very good for those off the wall abbreviations no one can figure out.

Helpful and then some.. Easy to use. Love it

Just ok. Needs more abbrs. Thus it needs more updates.

Excellent. I love this app. It is perfect without unnecessary clutter. Use it all the time and I'm a transcriptionist.

Great App!!. Has come in handy many many times :)

Good app. Has most med abbreviations...helpful during clinical
