Very crude format
I really dont like the format of its definition page. However, its useful enough compared with none.

It is a joke!
This app is a joke! Even though its free. You guys might not have anything else to do thats why developed this app.

Could use an update
This app is just a quick word guide. No spell check. So for me that is a major down point. Secondly the words in this app seem like they were just randomly picked. Leading me to believe that who ever made this app has no personal medical experience and may just be a student or a tech. Is a good start but ppl expect more out of the U of M. Thankfully Im a spartan fan :)!

Not enough words in data
Dont even have commonly used terminology. Needs more words in their data bank.
