Macworld user reviews IN DETAIL:

Excellent, a no-brainer must-have for medical professionals with iphones

Really no reason NOT to download and use this. Excellent app for reference, and it's FREE! If you had to find any negatives, it runs a bit slow on original iPhone and 3G. Runs much nicer on 3GS. Paid version is pricey.
