3/5Great overall but..
The editing range feature doesn’t work. Some labs I’d like to change to what my textbook says so I can keep it consistent, but when I go to edit the range it will not save. I also don’t know what the “high low and Sym” buttons at the top of each lab do… I thought if I press them it’ll let me edit those too but nothing happens when they are pressed. Overall it’s an okay app. I’d rate 5 ★ if all functions worked properly.

5/5I absolutely love this app!
It's perfect from start to finish. Very inclusive, discusses all the need-to-knows, very intelligently. Smooth execution and navigation. It's nice and fun to look at, nice design. First class app! My only aside is that some of the explanation lists for out of range values should be reviewed. I think I found one or two that were not as complete as others or didn't include an explanation of high/low values. Sorry, don't remember which test it was for. Good work verbal, thanks!

5/5One of my Favorites!
This app was incredibly helpful to me when I went through PA school - especially during my internal med rotation. I love that it provides clear, concise information about each lab test, and gives ddxs based on the results. This is one app that I will never delete!

1/5New Pay Wall?
App is now a worthless waste of device memory. Original app that I PURCHASED was pretty useful. Authors recently put the useful information that I paid for behind a subscription. I would not have purchased the app if it had required a subscription. Smells a bit like bait and switch or some other form of shenanigans. I certainly did not agree to this change . Did I mention that I paid for this app? I thought the apple App Store would keep this sort of riff-raff under control.

1/5Removed Once-Available Features
App once had lab descriptions available for viewing. These have since been placed behind a subscription-based paywall (despite the fact that I originally paid for the app when I first installed it). This sort of conduct by developers should be unacceptable. That said, the overall progression of apps on the App Store to subscription models over the years also serves as an indictment of the anti-developer and anti-consumer business practices by Apple as they extract exorbitant fees from app sales.

3.0
New App: LabGear 3, greatest medical reference app yet. + New design: the high-praised intuitive-ness with newer better interface for iOS7. + New Labs: C-Peptide serum, Insulin to C-peptide molar ratio, Anti-Insulin antibody, Pulse Pressure, Anti-transglutaminase antibody, anti-mitochondrial antibody, Anti-GBM Antibody, Osmolal Gap Serum, A-a Oxygen Gradient, Cystatin-C serum, Procalcitonin. + Many tests are referenced with inbuilt links to PubMed, labtestsonline.org, Wikipedia with more coming soon for the rest. + Portrait and Landscape Orientation support for iPad + Related Tags are more intelligent and will show better related results for quick launch + External reference links are more clearer easier to see and open, thanks to the new detail layout + Many new MedCalc links added to labs as well as categories. + Content reviewed & updated + Better reliable iCloud support. Important Notes: --------------- • iCloud sync between iOS7 and iOS6 is limited. For full benefits, please update to iOS 7 for all your devices. • Subtle Interface changes like: - Search icon for iPhone is at the Top-Right (previously was in bottom toolbar). - US or SI button (iPhone) now indicates the current prefered setting. • We've super-struggled to keep LabGear compatible with iOS6 for some of us, and it was really hard. However, upgrading to iOS7 is highly recommended. Finally ------ LabGear 3 is a new app, recoded entirely with iOS7 & the future in mind. The effort doubled when we decided to keep it iOS6 compatible. Ideally such application re-development calls for a new app release altogether that is iOS7 only. But we thought long and hard and kept it as a free upgrade for our existing users, Please review us on appstore, that keeps us alive :) Follow us at twitter.com/medicalgear and send your feedback to support_at_smartddx.com. We look forward to adding new labs & features soon.
