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, iPad 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 (always on on iPad, on iPhone accessible from the category overview screen by tapping the (i) button):
• iPhone: Shake your device sideways in order to display only the name of a random eponym
• iPhone: Shake it up and down to only display the description of an eponym
• iPad: Tap either the "Random Eponym" or "Random Title" button
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. To see the solution, tap the three dots that appear in place of the solution.

Not only good, but respectful The application is extremely useful! As a student it is always nice to be able to look things up quick and easily. On top of that, the author has been gracious enough to allow a free version for students!I would beg anyone who is NOT a student and using this program for work or any way you earn more money than a student, buy the other version!!! :) ps, i have no relation at all to the author, I just find his/her generosity extremely respectful - Eponyms (for students) review by cjmike
I love you guys As another person said it before, respect the developer's trust and buy the other version if you're not a student.
This program is what I was looking for. - Eponyms (for students) review by Dr Roozbeh

ONE OF THE MOST USEFUL APPS THERE IS... Great help for all of us in the medical field as well as those who are interested to know more about certain diseases....Thanks Pascal Pfiffner! - Eponyms (for students) review by BrYcE_DeRiCK
Crashes It crashes soon as I try to open it on my iPod touch. - Eponyms (for students) review by MaggiePharmD
Quick useful little app Quick,useful, just like the palm version. Very handy for med students and residents. - Eponyms (for students) review by MagnetChick
Useful if you're a med student A fascinating and useful app for a med student who needs to lookup a quick and short (<3 sentences) description of a disease or unusual symptoms. If you're not a medical student, I suppose you could use it to follow a case on the TV show House M.D., but the vocabulary is geared towards someone in a medical background. - Eponyms (for students) review by mr100percent
Needs an update I know this is free so I shouldn't complain but it has been almost 2 months since there has been a single term added to this app. They really should change the description where it says terms are being constantly added. - Eponyms (for students) review by Prince Caspian
Awesome! A great downtime review for physicians... I love this. When I've got a moment or two between patients, I'll just glance at a few of the catagories to stay fresh on the variety of conditions described. Keep up the great work! - Eponyms (for students) review by Zorchy
Thank you for very useful application. It's really great application for portable iTouch.Wonderful and amazing for medical students or practioners. Recommeded for medical personals. - Eponyms (for students) review by ineedds
Awesome! Thanks for making this free for students! This will be a great reference on my rotations! This teams up nicely with epocrates. If only a pocket medicine reference could come out for the iPhone! - Eponyms (for students) review by J Schro
Great App at a Great Price! Thank you so much for thinking of us students and offering this for free, even though the already reasonable price. The program is great! I cannot wait for more medical apps to really show that the iPhone/iPod is the future of handheld computing in medicine. - Eponyms (for students) review by MS III
Perfect Finally an application that I will use every day! Great for a medical student out on rotations who needs that answer and FAST! :) plus, it's free! - Eponyms (for students) review by Ngodmak
coolbeans!! I'm a nursing student and this has the potential to be super helpful. I probably could have used this during patho and physical assessment to identify various things. But now I have it to assist me with my MedSurg, OB, etc rotations. Best part of all, it's free.. SCORE!! - Eponyms (for students) review by Urbrestfriend
Finally, something useful! Keep 'em coming,we need all the help we can get. Looks like it will be very helpful for students and MDs. The only addition I would make is an option to add notes to each entry. - Eponyms (for students) review by 3rd year med student
Great app Appreciate the time and effort works great not one complaint. - Eponyms (for students) review by D92492
