Pros and cons of Microbiology Pronunciations app for iPhone and iPad

Microbiology Pronunciations app good for

Great app if your taking a microbio class (and especially if you skip class like I do...) I dont know how to pronounce half of the microbes I learned, and for the ones I do know, I dont know that I say it right... Good to have this to check for myself so Im not embarass If you have the Drug Pronunciations app, its the same but with microbes instead of drugs. The app isnt perfect but it does exactly what it says it will do - pronounce microbes. No uncessasary extras. Add viruses!
Fantastic app! If youre just curious about the bugs that make us sick, want to impress ur friends with some whacked out vocab, or in the health care field, (be it support staff, lab tech, drug rep, or direct pt. care) this is a must have!
The pronunciations are easy to understand and there seems to be a very large selection of words. Two suggestions I have for change are: 1. Change the icon. Its too complicated and busy. Very un-Apple-like. 2. Change the formatting for the word submission page. It is very difficult the read the word you want to submit for inclusion in a future update. I also noticed that you cant replay a pronunciation. You have to go back to the list and then re-click on the word to hear the pronunciation again.
Finally, an App I can use that is work related! The pronounications are very clear and easy to understand. Would love to be able to press the play button as often as I want without having to go back and chose the word again. Ive already sent in some names of organisms, would like to that screen be cleared up, because I had a hard time seeing the submission box. I would highly recommend this app to anyone in Microbiology.
I am a physician and find this application informative, useful and a great learning tool. Its also fun to use!
One thing that has to be fixed is inability to read extra long names (because they are incomplete and simply end with an ellipsis). For example, have a look at "Actinobacillus". Well, as I have already mentioned in Drug Pronunciations.app, please, consider audio replay, alphabet column on the side and right-on-touching-names audio playback. Agreed with the aforementioned suggestion: make them icons prettier (for both apps)! PS: I always re-rate. ;-)

Some bad moments

This a very nice apps but missing so many microbes. If you want just send me e mail and I can provide you with all the important medical microbes that will be helpful for every body. Rating 2/5
Great app., but problem with down loading. had problem with iphone, so sync phone and lost app off phone.
The sound doesnt work and the new updates with ads are a bother
This app is horrible!!! It says it speaks the terms for you, but it doesnt. Dont waste your money like I did.
The audio does not work as noted by other reviewers. I alerted the app developers and will update my review if this is repaired.
As a vet student, I was hoping this app can cover most of the common bacteria, it doesnt really cover like a third of them we discussed in class... Not recommended.
