Eponyms (for students)Version: 1.1

Eponyms brings a short description of more than 1'700 common and obscure medical eponyms (e.g., Rovsing's sign, Virchow's node) to your iPhone or iPod touch. A perfect tool to quickly look up the meaning of any eponym.

It uses the beautiful eponym database from Andrew J. Yee (http://www.eponyms.net/) who still maintains the database, updates can be installed right from within Eponyms.


*** Features:
• More than 1'700 eponyms, updates can be downloaded right from within the App
• Full text search
• 28 categories as well as the full list
• Customizable "starred" list to keep track of the eponyms you tend to forget or which you know to be favorites of your professor ;)
• List of recently accessed eponyms
• Learn mode


*** Learn Mode:
After enabling learn mode in the preferences (accessible from the category overview screen by tapping the (i) button):
• Shake your device sideways in order to display only the name of a random eponym
• Shake it up and down to only display the description of an eponym
In both cases, a "Solve" button appears which displays the missing information. Learn mode randomly displays eponyms from the category you're currently visiting (or you've last visited). So you can either learn eponyms from a given category, only the ones that you've starred or just all of them.


*** Non-students:
This is the free student version. Please only download the free version while you (still) are a student.
