Conclusion

WebMD offers reputable health information in one place, and its mobile app is no exception. While some information could be refreshed, if you are willing to look past those small less than ideal aspects, we highly recommend giving it an install. There is no better time to get a hold on your health than the present, and it is useful to have for the future. Who knows when you might need it? If you think it could be of use, try it out anyway. Better to be over prepared than not, especially when it comes to health. Just remember that it is not a substitute for being seen by a licensed healthcare provider. It is a good supplement, though!
