Fresh Apps - iPhone Apps & iPod Touch Apps.

This is the second in the mPassport series that highlights medical services in major world capitals. I had the privilege of  reviewing mPassport London’s sister app, mPassport Paris a couple of months ago and found the app to be extremely useful and well put together. This review may look like the previous review because of the fact that it is essentially the same app with different information. None the less, this is still a wonderful utility for the world traveler.

mPassport London Pros:

mPassport London is a medical utility app that lets the user find and schedule appointments in the city of London. The last thing that a traveler wants is to be alone and sick in a foreign place and not know how or where to schedule a doctor for a visit. This app will eliminate the possibility that such an problem will ever arise when you travel. One thing that is different about this app from mPassport Paris is that it does not have the same focus on “English speaking” doctors. All the doctors should speak English so this is not a highlight that is notable in this app. You can search the doctors list by type of care, such as, “travel medicine” and schedule the appointment right from the app. mPassport  London provides a function that allows you to find your location relative to the facility that you have an appointment at using Google maps.

mPassport London Cons:

The only real complaint that I have for this app is that it does not provide pictures of landmarks for reference purposes.

I feel that this app is a must buy for the European traveler. I am also happy to see that this is now branching out into other cities worldwide and hope to see more of this app in the future. This is an app that will save you frustration while traveling or it may just be a time saver for the native London resident. Either way I am very impressed by what this app can do for its user.

Pros:

– Helps locate and schedule medical services
– Pictures and bios of doctors.
– Location services
– Many extras

Cons:

– Could use pictures of major landmarks for reference purposes.

I give this app an easy 10/10 because this is a must have for the world traveler.
