Price drop: Daily Dose of Medical Knowledge for WebOS – now FREE!
The Daily Dose of Medical Knowledge which we reviewed here has become a free app.
You can get it here
I notice that some of the comments on that application by users are rather unkind. A lot of mobile users these days expect practically everything to be free perhaps not realising that it is not exactly a piece of cake to come out with a good idea and a good application for medical users. In fact I see little gratitude for free medical apps when by human nature authors will feel good when there’s positive acknowledgement (e.g. thank you, positive comment, encouragement or even a little donation) but in reality hardly get any feedback at all or worse still receive unwarranted and unkind comments. Heck, when I wrote Haemoncrules, all I requested was some postcards and I got a measly FOUR postcards. But enough ranting. Freeware medical authors still do it for the love of giving back something to the medical community. Think twice please before posting that unkind comment. Constructive criticism is fine but encouragement and helpful suggestions for improvement go much further.
For the record, I thought that the Daily Dose of Medical Knowledge was worth the measly four bucks to support the author. It has great potential still and I hope the author can continue to develop the app, especially for sub-specialities. In anycase, it’s now free, so go grab it.
